FA Charge West Brom

[baggieal]

So you think cheering for the wrong team in the wrong end is an excuse for people to act like a bunch of animals? Yes what the wolves fans did was provocative, yes it was stupid, no I wouldn’t be brave (or stupid) enough to do it myself, but if we try to excuse the behaviour of our fans for what they did, we are just contributing to the problem. Shout the wolves fans down, call them a few savoury names, aim some gestures at them, it’s all part of the banter, but violence is always crossing the line and what they did was embarrassing and put all of us in a bad light.

You are completely right. I was next to the trouble and it was complete thugs who were punching and kicking the police. No excuse for it!

In fact at away games such as Hull and Huddersfield afterwards stadium policing outside has been stepped up. On asking why, I was told due to West Brom’s supporters! At Hull they even closed the barriers to get out
( apart from the coach park ) for 10 minutes after the whistle! Reputation is horrible to shake off.

Really sad!

Similarly baggieal buddy, we (me and SWMBO) were close to the incident at the Smethwick/East Stand corner. Very sad to see and quite alarming for some of the youngsters alongside us. No excuse I’m afraid

Anyway, Mick, are you going to the match on Saturday?

Yes Kets,

To the utter delight of all of the regulars I sat next to for many years I am in attendance on Saturday with my son and he’s bringing his partner’s daughter to her first ever match, she’s begged him to take her to a game.

She’s 9 years old and recently started playing football at school and loves it and so we are adding a new fan to the fold on Saturday.

Will you be gracing us with your geriatric presence at the weekend?

Not sure yet, I will decide tomorrow. I still haven’t fully recovered from the Winter ailments, I don’t want to walk too far so will see how I am in the morning. Are you going to the Vine?

It's such a regressed form of human in 2024.
I wonder could they be deported to fight the Russian army in Ukraine seen as they are so brave at a sporting event with women and young children present.

The incident during the Wolves match has definitely besmirched our name. This is a great shame as I was always under the impression that away fans rated the Hawthorns as one of their favourite and friendliest grounds to visit. Let’s hope that we can remain welcoming to away fans in the future.

We’ve had a great reputation for years Leicester. It was irresponsible of the Wolves fans. It’s not as if we are Millwall is it? We are an all embracing family club. The idiot fans who did the stupid thing should be banned from attending their own matches and any West Brom fans who were out of control should be penalised too. This was nothing that could have been dealt with by any other club if it happened to them. That’s why it’s unfair. The FA are sending a message but to the wrong target.

I don’t think we’ve really helped ourselves in some ways. Playing the liquidator before big derby games is never a sensible start.

It’s a shame the club will suffer from the thugs who turned up to that game but probably won’t attend another this season.

Playing the Liquidator had absolutely nothing to do with the actions displayed on the day. ZERO. Unless it carries a subliminal message to exact petulant behaviours long after it's finished playing of course.

But if that were the case I feel sure I wouldn't have been able to control myself or my own actions. It's a shame that some people can't behave themselves but I'm struggling to remember widespread disorder and acts of violence akin to the 70s and 80s.

Yes FA actions will follow and rightly so, but from some of the reactions in the media I could be mistaken for thinking we're lucky events didn't escalate to another 'Heysel Disaster'.

I witnessed more violence on my first night of under age drinking in the former Londonderry pub in Smethwich at the age of 15 than against Wolves in the FA Cup.... can't imagine the scenes if they'd have had the Liquidator on the jukebox 😉 .
