Rich_Sheffield Posted 15 March 2006 Share Posted 15 March 2006 You're right there Chrissshaw, I was in Vienna on the train, if it wasn't for the BS, we would have got nailed big time. The Redstar fans/ hoolies didn't care if you were in a 'Firm' they just wanted to hurt City fans, however they took a kicking cos they got on the wrong train ! I agree I also feel somewhat safer if the BS are around What was the Vienna incident how long ago was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboywillmott Posted 16 March 2006 Share Posted 16 March 2006 It was September 2000, when we played Red Star Belgrade in the first round of the UEFA Cup. They couldn't play the game at their stadium due to the fact there was a disagreement between Serbs and Croats or something like that going on at the time. I think the ticket for the game was only about £12, my mum tried to hide my passport to stop me from going at the time - bless her. She nearly had the last laugh tho. Red Star boys were like a hunting pack looking around for any English people really. They boarded the train thinking they were gonna give out a kicking to a few LCFC. Unfortunately for them BS had also occupied the train and it went off big time. I think a lot of fans on the train were thankful BS were there actually otherwise a lot of people would have taken a right kicking. On another point, I do think that stewards and Feds do a lot to spoil the game. I mean there are a few chants containing abusive language and if they hear you swear nowadays towards away fans that's it you are out. I will never forget one guy who took his son to a game down Filbo. He sat down in front of me and turned to his lad and said "for the next 90 mins you can say what you like, but as soon as you leave this ground the swearing stops. Understand?" The kid had a field day abusing the away fans, ref etc. So yes, I do think fans are being unfairly treated and the authorities do look for any scrap of a excuse to jump on you from a great height and it is spoling the game cus nowadays people are too busy trying not to get thrown out than supporting their team. ps, I am not in any firm before anyone has a go.

wonderboy Posted 20 March 2006 Share Posted 20 March 2006 yeah i remember about 20 red star lads tried to get into the train to kick off at about 15 of our fans not realising the BS were in there aswell i remember one red star lad saying something along the lines of 'oh shit'. it went off big time me and my mates were in the middle of it with no intention of fighting but we had to get out of it somehow we threw a few punches and quickly scarpred the adrenalin rush was something else it's weird that when someone is forced to be violent it seems to come naturally. i am not condoning violence in any way tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was some video footage of this, however it's been awhile since I seen it so don't remember how I seen it before. No I'm not a hooligan, just travelled in numbers to Madrid and Vienna.

whothefoxthat Posted 20 March 2006 Share Posted 20 March 2006 not sure where to get this video footage ? anyone else know ? I believe someone had a camcorder with them and had the footage on the web, it's probably been removed cos it was quite a while ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unit Posted 22 March 2006 Share Posted 22 March 2006 Haha, can you check your history or something please? I've always been really curious about seeing stuff like that, feck knows why. I think one of the Babysquad used to come to the gym with me, he was pretty 'large' and a skinhead, and had BS tattooed all over him... wearing a city shirt.

Anyone who is unsure as to the origins of this chant only need to look at the facts! We played Chelsea on 26th Dec 1979 when around 300 BS tried to take the shed. Four months later when they played us at Filbert St the Headhunters tried to take the kop and I would put money on this being the first time the song was sung!

Yeh I can't remember when "Baby Squad" was first coined but I'd say about 80-90% of the boys there that day went on to become what was known as the Baby Squad.

Killing a baby when there's 50 of you and you're all over 20 doesn't seem something you'd brag about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
