They were nowhere near reaching our section,never got within 20 yards.

One of our group got hit in the head with a bottle . Plenty of near misses too

We had a sausage chucked at us. My mate lobbed it back and hit the original thrower straight in the chops 😂

I had heard a rumour that our mint kit was made out the recycled Man Utd grey kit back in the day, the lads just can’t see each other

It'd definitely not fresh anymore - if it ever was?

Had some time to mull over this and what gets to me the most is the fact we just didn’t have a go at the end. You’d expect from almost any team in stoppage time in the second leg of a European final where they need a goal to be launching the ball into the box, getting centre backs playing upfront, and forcing the opposition to put their bodies on the line. We got absolutely none of that. Disgusting. 

Yep. Totally flaccid. Two managers in a row who insist on this absolute dirge.

You weren't in the bottom tier then, they were continually hitting people, second half and at the end of game especially.

Why did they match the mint shirt with blue shorts?

Anyway, it is what it is. Both manager, team and fans need to up their game. 

 

Apologies for being pedantic, but "both manager, team and fans" did make me smile!

I still can’t quite work out why we didn’t shove fofana or even vestergaard up top for the last 5 or 10 minutes. I know it’s not what we do, but the passing wasn’t working and just give them something different to think about.

Ah well too late now

Sounds more like the Sooty and Sweep show than Italian Ultras! 😂

One reason

 

BR doesn't believe in things like this, much better to continue to be patient

Now we are out of the Conference League, does any one know what our draw number is in Euro Vision Song Contest qualifying round?  I have massive concerns about Ukraine.

Did anyone else read Adrian Chiles in the Guardian this morning and think of this?

 

 

The last time West Bromwich Albion won at Swansea City, as I was walking away from the ground, a carful of their fans treated me to a volley of the foulest abuse, focusing on my team, my looks and my professional competence. On one hand, it didn’t bother me that much. I understood their pain at the defeat and the need to vent their fury in this vile way. Graeme Souness would doubtless say this was all part of football being a man’s game, although I have to report that at least two of the in-my-face trollers were women. On the other hand, I must confess that I briefly harboured a fantasy in which the driver of the vehicle, being so focused on joining in the abuse, shunted the car in front. An unworthy thought, I know.

And then, this week, it happened for real. As I walked to the shops some lads packed into a small car all had a right yell at me, making various hand signals. I would say it was all in that uncertain grey area between abuse and banter, but I can’t be sure because as I looked up they rear-ended the van in front of them. Before I knew it I was hurrying away, resisting the urge to punch the air. But before long guilt had set in. It was hardly my fault: apart from looking round at them, I hadn’t engaged at all. They had meant no real harm, though, and the poor bloke in front was plainly blameless. I couldn’t imagine anyone was hurt; it was a relatively minor shunt. I was concerned it could have turned ugly if I’d got involved but I should have stayed as a witness. Tremulously, I returned to the scene. All was quiet; there was no evidence anything had happened at all. I suppose interested parties can find me easily enough should they need to.
