"This Is Not Football"

Just got back from the Villa game and I have to say, I'm in a state of shock. It might just be the fact that I can't believe we lost, but maybe it's the fact that I feared for my health all the way through the game.

We walk towards the ground and there's a full scale riot, objects being thrown here, there and everywhere, screams, shouts, police batons flying, what the hell is it all about?

We're in the ground, you see fights breaking out in the other stands, punches flying, people falling. You don't concentrate on the game, you just wonder if the person next to you is a Blues fan and you'll be the next one on the recieving end of pointless violence.

I've never seen anything like what I have tonight, but I'm safe and so are all my friends, so I guess that's what matters most.

I only saw Dugarry spit (which was one more than i would have liked to see) and i agree that he should be fined by the Birmingham board... i would honestly go as far as a 1 week fine (around £20,000)

No matter what channel we watch or where we sit in the stands theres always gonna be off the ball moments that the officials and many of the public and TV crews dont see, obviosuly we cant do nothing about those (but the players can and this may explain why some retribution takes place on the field)

Birmingham Vs Aston Villa - This was a match were we were a very poor side and got beaten 3-0. Nothing was going right and deserved to lose.


Aston Villa Vs Birmingham - Birmingham players are seen spitting at Villa players, but are never seen by any of the officials. I'm pleased that none of the Villa players reacted.
I feel that Gudjohnson and Dublin should get fined by the Club and maybe F.A., along with some of the Blue Noses that was seen spitting.

I respect your opinion Foreman but to say that Blues are cheats is a little over the top.

I too cant wait till next season... its already brewing into a nice little soap :p

Blues are nothing but cheats. They were always trying to get one of our players sent of from the beggining. A few of there players were spitting, and was today shown that Gudjohnson was spat on in the first half, and then did a career threatning tackle, getting sent off.

I don't know what Savage said to Dublin, but I bet that it was not nice and probably racist. I'm just hoping that we don't get deducted points and bought back to the relegation battle, just because of a few fans.


Wait til next season, we'll show them 'Blue Noses'.

Im guessing you dont go to many away games or you would see the same thing wherever you went... even if Liverpool were playing against Nuneaton Boro the boro fans would hurl abuse at Riise... thats part of football.. every player has at some stage been on the recieving end of opposition fan abuse im sure.

And im sure that at least 15 of the Premierships 20 clubs would love Savage in their team :D

It's the Birmingham fans. Against Liverpool they were disgusting, whenever Riise or someone went to take a corner they were screaming insults, signalling FUs to him etc. It's only a game of football ffs.

Robbie Savage doesn't help either, long-haired punk. :D

Heh - I wonder how Birmingham and 'Villa fans will from-now-on be though of, just like Millwall, Cardiff, and Bristol City fans (when Rovers come), after this...! :D

Sounds like a Millwall game. I hate Millwall fans - they're a bunch of sadisitc pigs.

I never thought a rivalrly between 'Villa and Birmingham could be such great entertainment! I'll be watching these fixtures every-season now (providing Birmingham do stay up).

People have been moaning about the ref's lately, but to me, Mark Halsey had a great game last-night. And believe it or not, but I can't even recall one single mistake he may have made!
But I bet it's just a one-off...

Next though, I reckon they'll be having a moan at the Stewards, and how they failed to keep those one-or-two fans off the pitch. Looking past the sidelines from time-to-time, I could see several stewards struggling to keep control of large blocks of fans!

Expect 'Villa to get a backlashing from the FA, soon!

Whilst that is in part true you must also look at it from this perspective...

for 2 hours last night over a million people from Birmingham were only thinking about the result of this game.

For 2 hours they could put any concerns of work, relationships, money problems and everything that is an everyday worry to the vast majority of people.

For 2 hours last night the result of this match WAS everything...
