UEFA getting the big stick out

The only racism Sid sees is against the poor old landed gentry.

I don't know anyone who was there who saw this flag. Does anyone know what the offending words were?

The Villa end was far more than just the usual away support Doggie.  We had c 11,000 allocated tickets, which included st holders and members.

"Lest we forget" indeed!

One of the local funeral places always puts up a “Lest we forget” flag on armistice day.

It makes me laugh every time as they also have the prices advertised on a vinyl sticker thing on the window too so it reads something like.

“Cheap cremations only £600

LEST WE FORGET”

I find the use of remeberance imagery extraordinarily offensive, from white vans to trainers and "poppy Christmas" displays to football flags.

Are you offended if someone wears a poppy?

I personally find poppy-wearing an intriguing guessing game.

Is the person wearing the poppy doing so in the spirit it was intended; as a mark of respect for the fallen, regret that such an event ever took place and a reminder that such slaughter is tragic on both sides?

Or are they the kind of twat who thinks it's a symbol of patriotic pride and an excuse to sing Ten German Bombers?

I used to wear a white poppy, until somebody I knew who also wore a white poppy was beaten up because of it.

These days I don't wear any kind of poppy and just say I had one but it fell off.

Round the mid-late 00s there was an old boy who’d fought in WWI who lived in cathedral close in Lichfield. On Remembrance Sunday he’d hang a German flag out of his window. Used to get loads of shit for it, but he’d just reply that Germans died there too and it wasn’t any less of a waste of young lives.

There were at least 20k Villa in the stadium I reckon

The assumption is that was the flag, but nothing has been officially confirmed has it?

I'm not going to repost the photo of it, but that flag is fucking atrocious.

Yep, it’s massively shit. I can see it’s appeal to the worst of our fan base mind.
