Bert's City Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Don't you think the FA have been slow in punishing this club this season with racist chants and such hope they come down hard hard as they deserve it it's been boiling all season total disrespect to to the FA cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 The FA share the bkame in my book. Wembley is far too big for cup semis, meaning too many tickets go on general sale. Add a late kick off and its asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the FA 'to blame' for some of the things that happened yesterday? I think not. People have to take some responsibility for their own behaviour.

Add a late kick off and its asking for trouble. This. Making Wigan fans travel all the way down to London to a stadium their regular attendance won't come close to half-filling is wrong for a semi. This would previously have been held at a convenient premiership ground. Now with the FA having spent a fortune on the new Wenbley they will do anything to make back some money on it. Irrespective of the inconvenience and cost to fans and the risks of having a late kick-off and easily-available tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant timing, given that the Wigan couldn't get home by train if there was ET. Still, ESPN will be happy, and that's all that really counts. One advantage of the Third Division is that we won't be fricked about by Sky quite so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 People have to take 'full' responsibility for their own behaviour. And the football authorities and police have to take reasonable steps to lessen the possibility of trouble. So for games where trouble is expected you would expect the following steps to be taken: Lunch time kick-off - fail Restrictions on ticket sales - fail Restrictions on travel - bubble trips - fail Increased police presence - well hooray, got one The blokes who did the fighting, and were stupid enough to do it on camera, will get punished. However anybody injured through no fault of their own has a good case for sueing the FA for breaching their duty of care in the pursuit of a few extra quid.

Well if that's the case, why were you saying that clubs should be punished on another thread not that long ago. At least this time your are right, people do need to be held responsible for their actions, but in this case the media will have a cosy anti Millwall witch hunt, while the FA shirks responsibility for any of this mess.

Anybody injured (physically or mentally) should be sueing the football thugs who caused the injuries. Also, football clubs should be doing much more in eradicating the violent scum element from football who purport to call themselves fans and supporters. For too long clubs have paid lip service to the trouble caused by this element, implementing the minimum required to appease, in order to continue financial gain. What we need now is thorough implementation to eradicate the unintelligent element from the game completely. If this means lower attendances for a while, then so be it. It is a price worth paying for our grounds and citys to be free from violent abusive morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to which there was a major demonstration in London, the police seem to call the shots these days, so why not insist the KO time was moved They have done it enough to us over recent years with Cardiff home/ away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 uhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Forget it, IHYB, he simply refuses to accept that other views than his might have some validity. He has this bizarre idea that there's a conspiracy against him on this forum, which is manifestly untrue. I got some very harsh comments on my "Why do some people claim to be supporters?" thread, but that's OK - that's debate. I don't believe that there's a conspiracy against me.

A forum is for debate, not just for the promulgation of PC views or, for that matter, non-PC views. Once more you display that it is you with the 'holier than tho' attitude. I've witnessed on many threads how you will berate others until you get the last word, in order to bully your opinion so it becomes the final say. You do this with others in your herd (TrueBrit iWurzel) until you grind people down. Look back at your posts and cringe with embarrassment at your bullying.

It's called an argument - not the same as abuse, which seems to be your standby. Bar the Gas and other trolls, pretty well everybody on here cares deeply about City, but we have very different views on what should be done. Exploring those views in public is helpful to all bar the seriously paranoid. Your name's not George, by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
