They are 4th in the championship ffs

Been reading WBA fans point of view for like an hour now and most of them are actually shocked, appalled, disgusted and mad by this. However, there is a group of them who has been saying Moore has been tactically naive to a point of just being bad and since that Leicester loanee got recalled, they no longer can create like they used (assuming the team's style of play had him as the fulcrum). Couple with the bad results, it magnified their own disdain towards him (apparently). In fact, that same group is actually glad he got fired which is baffling.

Mostly because I wonder if those group of fans realise their team is West Brom and that Darren Moore is very new to this managing thing and that they are 4th in a really difficult league. Also read he got fired in the dressing room which is...disgraceful to say the least.

WTF

Can't remember ever seeing something like that in my life

It happened in Romania before and the player had a broken cheekbone. Watch the whole video, Martinovic from Steaua actually wanted to fight the supporter. Laughing

They'd get sued by the guy.

Grealish just scored. Can't think of a better response, really.

Imagine being the policeman telling that idiot fan that the guy he punched just put Villa 1-0.

I know you guys up in the UK have some nice strict laws when it comes to how the Police treats with that sort of behaviour but down here, they would have, um, soften him up a bit in the holding cell. Help him lose some of that excess body fat with a bit of extra cardio.

Some updates on the situation:

The Birmingham fan - called Paul Mitchell - has pleaded guilty in court. The prosecutor said:

”The officer who was carrying Mitchell off the pitch said Mitchell thought Mr Grealish was a nob. Mitchell claims he was not intoxicated and was with his father and did it as a joke. He did say he was remorseful.”

The defence said:

”This was totally out of character. He cannot explain what came over himself yesterday morning. His initial foolish intention to go onto the pitch to whip up the crowd. He is certainly remorseful today. He is a man with a partner, they have a two-year-old together and they’re expecting their second child.”

Mitchell was season ticket holder at Birmingham for 20 years.

He's about to be sentenced.

Just for 14 weeks and a fine of £350...

Bielsa on the attack on Jack Grealish yesterday: "The person who does the thing we saw yesterday expresses a series of frustrations which are not necessarily linked to football. Because the more satisfied you are with your personal life, the less you need to do this kind of act."

The max sentence for assault is 6 months, so he's got half of that. Guilty plea knocks a bit of time off as well, usually.

He's lucky his punch didn't connect properly and leave damage, otherwise he'd be getting done for battery or possibly actual bodily harm instead.

Biesla is spot on btw. The Birmingham incident isn't an isolated one, unfortunately. It's symptomatic of a much broader issue.

Good analysis.

by Vlad the Impaler Mon Mar 11, 2019 10:42 pm

I bet he spied the guy for 6 months before making this spot on analysis. Laughing

Imagine Sir Alex's thoughts regarding this situation, if he once said that a ball could have killed RvP. Laughing

Nah, I knew there must be a video of it. It's how I discovered Newcastle when I was a kid. Laughing

It was included in almost every "best football bloopers" compilation in the early years of YouTube. These things don't suddenly disappear because they're gold. Laughing
