Villan_of_oz Posted April 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2017 Gotta say kudos to the fella for riding it out probably the best thing he could've done. I on the other would've opened my big mouth and got the crap kicked out of me. Hopefully that's the last time him or his girlfriend have to go through anything like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas, when it's, say, Blues fans, I like it because it sums them up nicely. Each to their own. We are humans first . Being a football fan should be quite far down the list . This type of thing will probably happen every day up and down the rail network . Am I only supposed to be disgusted when there are Villa fans involved ?

BOF Posted April 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2017 Every football club has its tossers. These are some of ours. That's why it's in the Villa forum. That's all. No-one was suggesting it's exclusive to us or that we've a particular problem with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still upsetting. I just feel some shame when it's Villa fans. Whether rightly or wrongly, I associate myself with all things Villa - however slight that may be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why this has turned into a "the Daily Mail is shit" thread. We know it is. It doesn't need pointing out. Irrespective of outlet, that's some Villa fans being absolute tossers. The issue isn't the Daily Mail being a rag. I don't get this feeling of collective shame at all. There was 40,000 Villa fans at the game on Sunday. Surely you appreciate that a significant proportion of those people are dickheads. Doesn't one in four people in the UK have a criminal record? So presumably 10,000 of those fans will have had some dealing with the police before. Might be driving offences sure, but could be rape or murder, we don't know. If those lads in the video weren't being dickheads on a train on the way to the football, they would be being dickheads (either individually or collectively) somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 The only reason why I started this thread was to see if we could stamp out this sort of thing. The people who it got aimed at were intimidated and uncomfortable for it. As a fanbase we are known to deal with people being idiots quite well, instead it turned into a "omg it's daily mail!!11" kind of thing. If people could take the sentiment of the post and apply it to their circles instead of just accepting this sort of idiotic behaviour we'd come a long way. If anyone knows any of these people I'll gladly take this to them instead, because I've had enough of people acting like £$%£$ just because "everyone else does it". That argument doesn't justify anything. If my wife got treated like that on a train I'd be up against these men in 2 seconds flat, so fair play to this brave young lad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand your point. Yes, if these people weren't being dickheads on that particular train, they'd be being dickheads elsewhere. Yes, we have dickheads in the fanbase. I still feel some sense of shame that they exist in our fanbase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel some sense of shame that they exist in our fanbase. My point is that a Villa fan isn’t a specific type of character or person. If you feel shame when one or a few of the hundreds of thousands do something untoward then that’s fine, I’m just saying that I don’t. I also think that we’ll continue to see more and more of these “incidents” with the continued rise of social media. I’ll just add, that I’ve seen four or five videos of Man City and Arsenal fans kicking the hell out of each other outside Wembley on Sunday. Not condoning the prats on the train, but come on, mountain out of a mole hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
