mtb_wm Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I think Fonz and Weeeeeman have a "special" relationship. Fonz seemed to care a little too much. I don't even know where to start with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Was it only a week ago that people on here were going on about what a great bunch of fans Rapid had? Looking forward to seeing them at VP, etc., etc. How quickly things change. I visited the match in Wien last year. Walking from the train station to the stadium with my mate in Villa shirt through the hundreds of home fans and we had no problem with Rapid fans! We have met bunch of Rapid fans in the pub after the match and it was a great time drinking some beers with them. I should have been in Wien yesterday (like my mate) but I could not get a ticket... This year it looks like the opposite scenario to me. As I've mentioned before when I was in Vienna last year after the game I was spat at. They are great fans in terms of creating an atmosphere but there's a significant proportion of them who aren't particularly pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 ^^^ Still no news on the lad? Doubt it is a break as he did stand on it shortly after. But...ligaments can be as bad/sometimes worse than a break. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Surely there would be news now if it was a break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Surely there would be news now if it was a break? I don't know about that, the OS is getting very lazy with informing fans about injuries. We only seem to find out about them when the latest "team info" comes out from SSN or BBC.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Surely there would be news now if it was a break? You would have thought so wouldnt you? As i say he did stand on it shortly after the challenge. Do you think they have to wait for the swelling to go down before they can fully assess the injury? I ask because KM said in his post match interview that there was heavy swelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 They might do, but I would imagine if they thought it was a break they would have went for a scan. I'm no doctor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 He should reject his Austrian roots and be an adopted Brit. He could change his name to Andrew Mann and be our Andy Mann up front... I'm in a weird mood today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carew_villa Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Rapid apology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Serious Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Rapid apology Classy and honest apology, in my eyes. Club can only do so much about their fans before the fact, so it's nice to see them recognise a full and profuse apology was warranted. Takes the sting out of it a little bit for me. Probably won't mean as much to Weimann, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Great statement, can you imagine the Villa website ever acknowledging something like that? Still, at least we don't terrorise our own fans when they're in agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
