Rob182 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Feels like you feel bad about that Limpid. Don't. They had no business on the pitch.You don't know that. Some of them might have been pitch inspectors. Don't tarnish everyone with the same brush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Really sad and bad times if anyone of the players / officials were intimidated or injured after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm gonna sound like a real snob now but some of the people from Birmingham (and some of our fans) really are thick as shit. The way they talk, the mentality, the things they say. I'm sorry if I offend anybody but there really are some scummy people that follow the beautiful game.

B94villa Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Invading the pitch after a QF win though... Yeah, if I had a quid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Seeing on social media that three albion players apparently assaulted on the pitch afterwards. Anyone heard anything? I saw Lescott surrounded by Villa fans at the end who were right in his face and clearly giving him abuse. If that's proven to be true, we're fcuked If any players were assaulted I could see us being kicked out I was right by the tunnel,an apart from a bit of foul mouthed banter the Albion players got ignored and all went off ok as far as I could see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I really hope that is not the case. Unfortunately, like every club, we have our share of absolute morons. Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 VLV, that does sound snobby. Mainly because it's not just people from Birmingham, it's football fans from everywhere. Every club has idiots, people who think they could do the manager's job ten times better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with certain people goes beyond football.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I think my personal opinion away from the ground with people in Birmingham has caused me to go off topic a bit with my post. My point was there is a wider issue with people in general throughout the country. I don't think football has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Lescott surrounded by Villa fans at the end who were right in his face and clearly giving him abuse. That particular individual has done his utmost to wind up, patronise, belittle and wind-up Villa fans his entire career. I hope he did get some abuse back. (In the non violent / physical way). If youre big enough to give it, be big enough to accept it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, i assume he gives the fans the "banter" he does because there is a nice line of stewards and advertising boardings seperating him / them. The 3-2 Everton game springs to mind. Im not sure he would be so brave / fool hardy to give the fans stick if there wasnt stewards in the middle of it. No-one likes seeing this, but he as an individual case, perhaps deserves some barracking back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) The invasion during the game was idiotic as it could have cost us the match. But there are some sad people moaning about fans embarassing the club by running on the pitch. It is 10x more embarassing to go on a losing streak without scoring for 10+ games. For many fans this is the first time they get to see their team play at Wembley. Go Watch Polo if you're worried about etiquette. Sad bunch.

Davkaus Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Compare the amount of press coverage already about people running on the pitch and singing, to the complete absence of any mention of dozens of seats being thrown from 50 feet in the air on to people below. The narrative has been set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2015 These things happen for a reason, someone thought the game was over and it wasn't and then others followed. No big deal. The players are not superior humans, they should man the f*ck up and understand the passion of the fans who have paid good money, for so long.

VillaChris Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 How much did SHA get fined when they beat us in the quarters in 2010? That's your guide right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ive seen four games in the last three years. One was a particularly harrowing 3-0 defeat to Everton at home where i very much wanted to leave at half time. In those three years ive been disappointed to the end of existence by Villa. So imagine how the season ticket holders of the last three years have felt. Miserable, angry, frustrated and utterly powerless I presume. Then imagine their celebration at Villa actually achieving something today, FA Cup Semi-Final, at Wembley, having beaten local rivals in the process. Pitch invasions are rare beasts, but this one was **** long overdue. Give them their moment in the sun, their support, passion, patience and £££ deserve it.
