completely contradictory to what i said earlier in this thread (that i was almost certain that Mockble was a nose) i've just had a conversation with the bloke who started the 'I'd rather be in jail than a grass' group on facebook - and, whilst its obviously up to you what you choose to believe - he insits that Lee Mockble himself was a villa fan. He says that if i was to go to his house (he lived 2 mins away from me) his rents would be happy to show me his room which is decorated with villa shirts/memorabilia etc.
Obviously this raises many questions as to why a villa fan would choose to run over another one.... this bloke suggested that Danny Brown and whoever he was with accused Mockble of being a nose at which point he chose to drive off to avoid trouble but Danny threw a full pint glass at his car which smashed through a window and injured the passenger.
I then asked him why its Blues fans campaigning for his release he replied:
'As far as blues fans campaigning for Lee, be realistic, taking into consideration who was involved, do you honestley think that villa fans would support Lee, of coarse they wouldn't, they wouldn't get involved for fear of reprisals, and I can understand that. But we had to get support, or we were in danger of this being forgotten about.'
Thats their take... make of it what you will
