It's a straight and factual report, no gloss, I don't read any pettiness there.

Unfortunately I couldn't be there (too late to buy tickets) but watching it on TV I didn't see any of our players doing anything untoward bar trying to avert some of their players provoking our fans and making the situation far worse. Not all of their players were involved in this and in fact some of them were also trying to keep the peace. I guess we shouldn't have reacted (hence the lesser fine) but it was totally out of order for that group of AFC players to behave like that. In fact, had we done nothing AFCW would have been in far more serious shit for incitement.

On one hand I appreciate the players for defending the supporters.

On the other hand I can't help but laugh at how petty this is.

Can we all fucking grow up? This is going beyond parody now. Not 'frightened for my safety', not having 'sleepless nights because we might lose' its all becoming unappealing due to how fucking petty and childish it is.

From both sides, us them and all inbetween. Grow the fuck up.

We need a straighter next time we play. No hangers on, no tools (the wankers or the weapon kind), just their top 50 boys and ours. Away from the OB. Any AFC watching this thread private message me or one of the other forum members to set up. Also open to a 5v5 in Leisure Leagues or something else.
