Guest Ron Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Every club has these idiotsThe 14,000 City fans at Ashton Gate last weekend didn't go anywhere near the Swindon fans, and they're are closest rivals in the league. We can't have many then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolmanDudess Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 The 14,000 City fans at Ashton Gate last weekend didn't go anywhere near the Swindon fans, and they're are closest rivals in the league. We can't have many then I'm sure we have a fair few about the place to be honest Ron but as that chappy said they arent real fans so probably didnt attend the game, just like waiting around for any sign of trouble!!

Silkette Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I am the Macclesfield Town fan from Bristol!It's a long story but some of what Robin72 said was along the right lines only it was on the way back from a game at Wigan not Blackpool that it started as a joke but for some reason has stuck with us.I now have an 18 month old son which means I can't go to as many games as I would like but have been down the Gate 4 times this season. I also get to see Macc at all the local games.What happened yesterday ruined what was a good win and a good day out. It was a totally unprovoked attack on supporters who just wanted to celebrate staying up with the players. It was more than a few coins and also stones. No real football fan should have to go through that - lets hope they all get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they will be banned as real football fans don't act like animals most of the time.I'm glad you won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOme things never change eh first players now fans. Like you said spoils it for the real supporters. Nice to hear you go down the gate still though.

Silkette Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I tried not to think about giving Rovers my money too much but couldn't miss the chance to see Macc play in Bristol.The idea of giving these thugs a Swindon season ticket is not a bad idea - that would soon stop them!!!!

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 The stewards are obviously not so hap handed as they are at the gate. More surprising still as many of the Stewards at Ashton Gate work at the Rovers ground too. Do they operate under different instructions at the gas? It's impossible to imagine a similar unruly mob of City fans confronting the away supporters like that, let alone throwing things, with so little evidence of the stewards trying to heftily pick off and ground the ringleaders. Still we'll see what the EP has to say about it when one of those pictures appears prominently on the front page tomorrow. I'm sure the Editorial will be bristlingly damning in their unbounded castigation of what they can only descibe in future as 'The Former Family Club'.

RED4LIFE Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I would just like to say, if you look at picture 3, to the lefthand side of the picture there seems to be a headless footballer running towards the camera (and no, its not Bas!!).Wierd!!!!

The man has no head and no arms.I think it's a Macclesfield player though without his head it's hard to positively identify him. Then again, with his head I still wouldn't recognise him. He's obviously wearing a Macc strip but it is possible that he's a Rover's player who's swapped shirts at the end of the game and then taken his head off to go and goad the Macc supporters.It's disgraceful what these Gasheads get up to.

Looking at the pictures, the "thugs" appear to be women and kids of around 15 or 16 years old - surely the stewards could have dealt with this, its not as if they were all big burly geezers!

RedTauntonian Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 THose kids wouldn't no what to have done if they did get to the macc fans, if the macc fans had been able to run at them, the scum would of ran faster than what thet do when they play kiss chase at school, sad inbred scumbags if you ask me.

Is self-decapitation really ungentlemanly conduct? After all, you're hardly likely to gain an advantage by removing your own head (there's a cheap joke here about Sagheads but I'm not going to go there ).Nevertheless, I expect the referee would be justified to ask the player to leave the field of play due to the "blood injury" rule.

Other sin-binnable offences could include banging one out on the touchline, mooning at the ref and not putting your hand to your mouth when coughing.

Imagine when a high corner is whipped in, a player could throw his head up into the air and score a goal.Totally unfair in my opinion.The FA are cunningly vague on this issue. Nowhere in the rules of football does it say that the removal and subsequent throwing of a head, be it yours or that of an opponent, is illegal. I think they're waiting for a legal challenge before passing the buck to FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
