Not just when Villa fans are involved. tbf, I'm not sure anyone here as said that this conduct is bad only because Villa fans were involved. But it is a forum board about Villa, so discussing villa fans does seem to be on topic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is someone on here saying this just because it was related to Villa? Stop trying to make something out of this that it isn't. You are arguing on a board about something silly in your own words and retracting your statements by making counter statements about standing up for people. Sorry that the thread has offended you, it must be all those Daily Mail readers again causing insult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm this thread wouldn't exist if it wasn't Villa related, or it would at least be in Off Topic considering how often things like this happen . I'm surprised you waited until now? I'm not offended . Being offended is for the mentally weak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good job only a small minority of people think that way otherwise life as a human being would be one hell of a shit time. You have to feel sorry for they guy and critical of the mob, otherwise we become nothing more than hyenas. Where it was reported and if it is a newsworthy story is irrelevant. If people don't have respect for others that is bad enough but not to expect anyone to have any respect for anyone else sounds like hell on earth for me and is a big problem with people today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This is the crux though isn't it. Take the shit sandwich son or else it's going to end badly for you. In fact I would not be surprised if they were hoping for some kind of reaction so they could do him over, it would give the saddos their kicks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interventions on this thread are a bit of a pain and that will be true for everyone I suspect. @Vox Populi Which parts are painful and why ? Do you like threads that portray the club in a negative light , regardless of the fact that the club is at zero fault here ? Do you think peoples emotions should be so easily manipulated by the Daily Mail ? There is is actually an interesting discussion about social responsibility buried in this subject somewhere, and I'll put my hands up and say I've probably muddied the waters , but I find it bonkers that people only give a shit about this because Aston Villa is in the article. If you google Villa Fan Crimes you'll get a plethora of info about shitty things our fans have done over the years and yet I struggle to recall many threads on here about them ? So my point is why now ? What makes this so different ? I'd never dream of telling people what they should or shouldn't talk about but I am sure as hell am going to question the motive behind it . It may not be what people want to hear and it's probably not the reaction that the thread is intended to provoke, but it's the only part of this inane story that even remotely interests me . Could I have just left the thread alone ? Sure. Could I have been a bit more tactful ? Absolutely , but I still believe my thoughts are valid regardless of the sauce they came served up in .

I have more empathy than is good for me . The point I was making is that I see people as humans first and football fans somewhere down the list . I care about what other humans do a great deal .

I actually feel like I'd have got less hassle if I walked up and down a train carriage plonking toothbrushes on peoples heads, whilst being a belligerent prat . If i were sat at a keyboard I'd have written a little more articulately , but half this thread was typed whilst on the shitter using one thumb .

Not everyone who reads the Mail are clearings in the woods. Regarding this video I can see how it would make them feel uncomfortable but let's not hype it up to be a bunch of yobs being violent. It's very cringeworthy I will admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) It's obviously very poor behaviour, however it's hardly the crime of the century and I'm personally struggling to give a flying ****. 'Collective shame' is a total nonsense, football attracts idiots and thugs, they are at every single club in the country, I'm not about to feel one iota of shame about morons like this.

It doesn't take a lot for the media to knock our club, we don't need idiots behaving like this. It is a good thing imho that we're highlighting that as genuine fans we don't find it acceptable. Although I do wish we were talking about something more positive at this stage of the season. Maybe next year we will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
