HoldenBall Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 And they're also full of fake, plastic fans. This. Lower league football is 20000% more passionate, and when you haven't played your rivals for 7 years it will kick off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Some moronic activity by several parties by all accounts.... but totally crazy to throw away perfectly good not to mention expensive booze.. even to launch it at someones head ffs. If I want a head on my drink I order Guiness the last thing 'headwise' Id want to see on my beer would be a gas-head. Some fantastic goals scored tonight, and a few near misses too, pleased to say that the beer-can morons wete in the near miss catagory, . On the pitch best team won at least, shame idiots will be grabbing much of the well deserved limelight that should have shone on some of our young City starlets. Yep, absolutely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Jesus wept.

Betty Swallocks Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pitch invasions never happen at: Man City v Man United Spurs v Arsenal Liverpool v Everton Chelsea v Fulham Man city had a few lads on the pitch last season against united, the other year Fulham got on the pitch after they beat Chelsea so you've not made a very good point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Doesn't happen at prem clubs because the 'big' rivalries occur twice a season, Millwall vs West Ham fans on pitch, Blackpool vs Preston fans on pitch, Newcastle vs Sunderland trouble outside the ground, I'm not condoning it just saying it's not just us that have the idiots who run on the pitch or only came to cause aggro, Even Rovers had a fair share of idiots starting on police and n the corner and charging the Williams, That's leaving out the group in our side of the EE and all over the ground, It's a derby that doesn't occur every couple of years, It was bound to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn't. We put together some good passing but didn't exactly pepper their goal with shots. In fact they had more shots than we did by the end.

SimplyRed Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have to agree with the OP to a certain extent. It was great to see City win but the night was spoiled near the end by the pathetic few. I was ashamed to be a City fan at the end of the game - and on national TV too. The City fans' reaction to the result was completely over the top and ridiculous. What I'd like to know is, who made the decision to allow fans to come down to the front of the Dolman at least TEN minutes before the end of the game and hurl abuse and vitriol and make threatening gestures to the Gas players? Banter and singing, yes, but violent gestures and foul language? Some them looked like they actually wanted to jump over the barrier and actually assault the Gas players. Nauseating. Whoever these numbskulls were, they should be idenitified and arrested by the police for threatening behaviour and incitement. As for the pitch invasion, what a pathetic joke. You would think we'd won promotion, not the first round of an unimportant cup competition. That said, the club could easily stop pitch invasions, if they really wanted to - BAN THEM FOR LIFE! Would you invade the pitch if getting caught meant you were banned for the rest of your life? A lot of posters on this forum defending and/or dismissing this activity are confusing passion with neanderthal activity. It's possible to be passionate without resorting to violence and incitement.

sglosbcfc Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pitch invasions never happen at: Man City v Man United Spurs v Arsenal Liverpool v Everton Chelsea v Fulham I can remember a big pitch invasion and fighting on the pitch at Fulham v Chelsea two or three years ago. Man City and Man Utd have had some vicious brawls, put it into you tube. I've been to a Mersey derby and seen violence and also sectarian songs being sung.

Just watched the game again on tv (great noise btw), after getting home, it was obvious we were by far the better team as soon as we stopped getting drawn into their hoofing and scrapping and played. Apart from 10 minutes near the start of the second half and the end when they were chasing the equaliser we dominated the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmzzTheFirst Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't know why people are blowing what happened out of proportion. Anyone would have thought there was a full scale battle between the fans on the pitch or something. We won. Be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Everything about tonight was a bad trip. It started badly, with the pubs in the local vicinity unprepared for a match of this magnitude. Single-line queues of 20-30 men while two bar staff poured the drinks. Eventually I gave up. Do pub managers not realise how much money they're losing by not employing enough staff to cope with the demand? The scenes that greeted me on Ashton Road before the game were disturbing, with children as young as seven standing by and some even joining in as their dads/older fans screamed and swore at absent Rovers fans. The worst part was when two Rovers fans, completely minding their own business, walked past and had full cans of beer thrown at their heads. At their ****ing heads. If one of them had been hit, God knows what might've happened. Sickening behaviour and at that moment I felt about as far removed from Bristol City fans as I ever had in my life. The scenes after the game were, as others have stated, an embarassment. Nowhere else in the country does this happen. Only Bristol. And what's more, every time we appear on Sky. It's no wonder that the rest of the country calls us backward yokels. Not only did the pitch invaders damage the reputation of our club, they probably damaged the pitch as well. All of which has probably ruined our chance of getting a new ground. Frankly, we don't deserve it. As for the match itself - it was pretty forgettable apart from the goals. City failed to underline their class against lower-league opposition. There was some slick passing in the opening exchanges but very few scoring opportunities and no real shape to speak of. JET looks quality when he puts his mind to it, but that doesn't happen often enough and he doesn't look as good as Albert. Joe Bryan, Bobby Reid and Marlon Harewood looked excellent - both in terms of quality and application. On the way out, a man seemed to be fitting on the floor. When police horses went to attend to him, I heard City fans yelling, '**** off horses!' That's right, they were yelling abuse at horses. A bad end to a bad night. You have been miserable all week mate. Even when we beat that shower of shite you still look for all the bad points. The rest of us had a great time, I feel sorry for you, you can't enjoy being a City fan tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, many people are condemning the behaviour, which made our club look pretty daft in my opinion. Even SOD said it. I did enjoy the atmosphere in the ground up to that point and, while I thought it was a scrappy game, it was quite engrossing. My view was restricted but a win is a win and I'm happy with all of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
