That could be "policed" by the Girl Guides, well, maybe some parking attendants, with a little help from the Jockey Club. The coppers can do us v West 'am. Play the same evening.

Leveller Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Out of interest, did anybody who bought seats in the home areas have them cancelled as threatened by BCFC? I didn’t have any problems. Apart from trying to look upset when we equalised. 5 Quote Link to comment

West Ham are quite notorious anyway so there will already be a lot of police that night. I will be very surprised if the game is on the same night. Quote Link to comment

I know what you are saying , But I was there back when mcinnes was in charge when they played at Upton Park and there again today , there notorious so say supporters is definitely a thing of the past from what I have seen on my last couple of visits , was there early 90s now that was intimidating very much head down and keep quiet , last couple of times pubs full of city and wandering around where you want loud and proud .

JBFC II Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Anyone got any tissues for this West Ham fan? Good F.A. cup tie, two teams of vastly different talent, skill and capabilities levelled by one side resorting to the traditional dark arts. Liam Manning, hang your head in shame. You've embarrassed youself today. You did the easy bit, spotting how vital Coufal is to us going forward, and consequently he was targetted. Mind you, poor old Mavropanos really bought a stinger from the Bristol City thug who went full Harry Kane, backing into him mid air. Thats ghe sort of snide tackle that did for Winston Reid. As for your muggy supporters singing a tired old ditty about us selling our soul, enjoy your day out, but dont be rushing to book time off for the next round. A muggy club from a dull corner of the kingdom. 13 Quote Link to comment
Graham76 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Watching on TV Williams and Pring stood out as MOM, however Vyner looked so assured at the back. His performance was outstanding today. Also commentary referenced how we were bullying them physically - its been a while since we've heard that. Well done BCFC! 2 Quote Link to comment

Their fans seem to have changed too. Cup game against lower league opposition, cheap tickets to fill the ground, there was inevitably more families than would otherwise be the case.

cidercity1987 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Loads of comments on how we roughed them up. Not sure about that, we competed well aerially with them but there was only one bad challenge- Conways was a bit naughty backing into their guy who was already in the air 1 Quote Link to comment

Super Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 West Ham fans very complimentary about us but the best ones were ones saying we roughed them up. Bloody great to read! 2 Quote Link to comment
Ska Junkie Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Just watched 2 West ham fans game summaries and both thought we were over physical / dirty. Maybe that's a Premier league thing as I didn't think we were any more physical than usual. Is tackling not allowed in the Prem then? Both reviews I watched think TC should have seen red then contradict themselves saying Harry Kane has been doing it for years, very strange. While both were complimentary about City, it appears the physical rules are different in our respective divisions and they don't like it up 'em. Not West ham like at all. Nice and physical at the Gate then. U REDS 4 Quote Link to comment

A muggy club from a dull corner of the kingdom. I've got some gone off grapes I can send him! Funny how so many of his fellow Londoners are heading for OUR 'dull corner of the kingdom' too. I do hope he doesn't get too bored in our City IF he heads West for the replay. Edited January 7 by Ska Junkie 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post whufcmat Posted January 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7 Evening folks I hope that those that attended or even watched on TV somehow enjoyed their day. Due to engineering works I have only been in 30 minutes – some of you probably got home before I did! When we went 1-0 up most would have expected us to win comfortably, but, with West Ham we blow hot and cold, rather than capitalise on an early lead we thought we were comfortable and would win easily …..but, you don’t want to hear about West Ham. I thought your support was excellent, the synchronised bouncing when you scored even made me smile. Nothing like an away day with a massive following. Hopefully you all had good views (it’s not as bad as some make out) although if I were an away fan I would prefer to be behind the goal in the bottom tier. In the second half I only saw one winner and it wasn’t West Ham. You played very well and should feel proud, and, I think you’ll win the replay. We could really have done without the extra game. Met a few BCFC fans in Westfield pre-game, no trouble at all, even sat with a few and had a coffee and chat about both our teams’ fortunes (or lack of them) Best of luck for the rest of the season and hopefully you can make the play offs and come up! 51 3 1 Quote Link to comment

There were lots of excited small kids in West Ham kit with one or both parents in the Westfield shopping centre before the match. Tickets probably easier to get hold of (as well as cheaper), and probably thought they'd see lots of West Ham goals Quote Link to comment

I don't think roughing up a team necessarily means fouling them. Fact is Pring clattered a couple of their players leading to one needing a concussion test and one going off injured. Not usually our style but in a cup tie away to a Prem team, you absolutely love to see it. Moyes wasn't complaining about it either, to his credit. 2 Quote Link to comment

Eddie Notgetinya Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Toe to toe with a 6th placed premier league team who didn’t weaken their side. They also won a European cup last season. The best bit, 5 academy products in the starting XI. What a day 17 Quote Link to comment

I’m presuming the Lino usually works with var, so kept his flag down until after the shot. Conway was about 8 yards offside!. 3 Quote Link to comment
