054123 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Just spoke to my mate on the way home from walsall. Apparently it was another proud display from the boys in blue up there, people being being arrested for no reason, heavy handed, people beling chucked out for no real reason. Said there was a family up there and the dad half fell/pushed over the barrier at the front when city equalised and so the police thought it would be a good idea to nab him, leaving his wife and kids inside. Good job boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Back in the late 80's and early 90's we always had grief from the West Midlands Constabulary. I'm pretty sure back then there was a serving Avon and Somerset officer who officially complained about them to his superiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazareth Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Some of our fans were acting like morons, egging on the Walsall fans and generally being prats. One guy said to me "they started it", as if this justified the cretinous behaviour of the City fans involved. Ever heard of IGNORING them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 i have to agree with EDR. banter between the fans is all part of football.live with it. we're not a cardiff or a millwall,who would have had loads of 'fans' charge at the fans,run onto the pitch to get to them etc.what did we do?chant.yet we still get called 'morons' etc. if you don't want singing and chanting between fans,go and watch snooker.

If the police want to go charging into people for no reason (and yes they do it) i hope they get a good kicking. Ive seen it a few times the police get turned over after they have just charged in, quite good to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazareth Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 ###### off you ######. Like i said freedom of speach can say what i like when i like. To be honest its fun winding up opposition supporters made that 2nd goal that much sweeter. ← Likewise, I have the freedom of speech to call you a moron. I'm all for singing and winding up opposition fans, but it's the people that spend 90 minutes standing up and shouting at the fans instead of watching the games that annoy me.

claloudav Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 :@ :@ :@ :@ :@ I really wish the Police would stop picking on innocent football fans and go sort out the real criminals out there. I was seriosuly thinking about a career with the Police but now i'm not so sure. A. I don't pointlessly go around picking on random people B. I don't want to be associated with that kind of image. Did anyone see the way they were agaisnt the fox hunting protesters? They turned a simple innocent protest into a war. There wos like harmless people being hit round the head with batons for no apparent reason. Put it this way if I eevr saw anyone getting that kind of treatment I wouldn't hesitate to help them.

Donnie Darko Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 it's wierd how the police at the game were so bad, but the transport police at brum new street were very good natured and helpful - especially considering Virgin trains appear to have screwed everyone today. shame the same can't be said about those at the game, although i still can't understand why people run to the front of the stand when we score???

Akira Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 claloudave - yes i saw that incident,and yes the police were at fault again,i have some stories about that but i wont go into it,its very anti-police and I'm sure some people wont like me expressing the TRUTH. Gazarez - i don't stand and wind up the opponent fans,i watch the game.the one person that got kicked out for them,talk about trying to wind us up...! also,ALEX MIKE - i don't like recieving PM's saying I'm an idiot etc just because i have expressed an opinion.

madmax Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I was disgusted by the Police tactics and the way they treated the lad who fell over the advertising boards when we scored. They made a simple situation very difficult. He clearly wasn't running on the pitch, he clearly wasn't jumping up and down on the pitch celebrating, he was on his arse in pain as he hurt his back. The WM police I say are very poor at their jobs and are unable to carry out their jobs in a successful manner by defusing situations without making them worse. It's a football match not the front line in a picket demonstration. I actually didn't want to go to the toilet purely for the fact that everytime one of the subbers went, they got arrested. I'm sorry, but Walsall is a hole and they can shove their Police force up their arse. As for some of our fans, well some went over the top maybe, but anywhere else it would have been a good afternoon out except for the Police.

TheOne Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 The British Police have no consistency, their rude, ofencive and only have halo's above their heads when the public eyes on them, O.K. fairplay they keep our country safe (Most of the time) but there are so many bad apples in the force that think they can do or say what they like to more than often innocent people. Me and a friend was at the last Millwall game,at ashon gate, the Millwall fans were (as usual) starting trouble in the pub, me and my mate were only walking past and was nearly hit by a bottle being thrown out from the pub by the Millwall surporters, the police were stood like lemons outside the pub waving thier sticks at the pub instead of going in and dragging the low lifes out, anyways when we walked past my friend was hit 4 times agross the back with thier battons, he was clearly just walking past to get out of the way, I mean c'mon where do they get off, you could understand if it was provocked but the poor guy was genuinlly just trying to get past so we could get to the ground. We have to stick to the rules so why shouldn't they, they clearly think they are above the Law when trouble starts and don't realy seem to use a bit common sense and asses whats going on around them, instead of stricking out at any tom dick and harry.!!!

I am a man/goblin of principle and reality and that's why I'm a staunch English Republican just like Oliver Cromwell Glory be to the 17th Century English Republicans who smashed the Monarchy and had the traitor King Charles executed. Back to the present, the behaviour of the Monarchist Police Gastapo in this country is appalling at times and should not be condoned or excused by quoting the behaviour of the Turkish Police as an excuse.

claloudav Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I would just like to say after hearing more incidents that I'm sorry.

gazareth Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I would also like to say that some of the accounts of police treatment seem to be quite bad, I'm not condoning the malpractice of the police, just criticising the behaviour of idiots who travel to away games just to stand up and goad the opposition fans for 90 mins instead of watching the game.
