Times our fans have acted daft

At Villa away, years ago, as the teams left the pitch near the corner of the away end, a bloke next to us decided to leave his son and run on to the pitch to have a go at the referee in person. Obviously got nicked and then carted off leaving the little lad to have to chase after them shouting "that's my Dad!".

Constant negativity about McClaren based on his teeth and the fact he said "magnificent" despite him delivering what we'd previously only dreamed about.

This could be the longest thread ever, as I truly believe we have some of the biggest whiners across all 4 divisions.

That’s not the reason though as even Steve Gibson had a dig at his lack of loyalty in the end.

Interviewed for Newcastle and Leeds whilst he was paid by us.

Apologies that I'm bringing the mood down on the board with these threads but at least it will help to keep our feet on the ground.

When I say "have acted daft", I'm not necessarily looking for stories of hooliganism, but you give a story if you wish.

I'm going to say when fans booed Schwarzer, when he came back into the side and took Crossley's place. It was harsh on Crossley but it was unfair on Schwarzer to boo him when it was the manager's decision.

Why did you boo?

Fans chanting "We've only got one player", referring to Tuncay in a game during our relegation season.

It was nice to see him running about a bit but if I remember rightly he'd appeared to have gone into a bit of a strop for a few months earlier in the season, after being unable to complete his move to Chelsea. It was just a shame he didn't show that level of heart and commitment throughout the season.

This is what I was going to post. It was absolutely excruciating hearing people singing that to someone who’d been missing in action for large swathes of that season. It was an insult to those that gave their best every week. That squad had a few shirkers in it but the reason we went down was a general lack of quality, not a lack of effort.
 
I would say some of the stuff posted on this very forum in the first few weeks of this season was just so way over the top from anything I’ve seen on here in all the time I’ve posted. The stuff swirling around in the lead up to the Hillsborough game and during the first half, some of it was disgraceful really. Let’s be honest. People posting absolute bile and all manner of rubbish about players, staff, coaches. It became quite personal at times and very unpleasant to read.

I was daft in Eindhoven. Starting drinking about 6am and can't remember much after midday. Despite the result I really regret getting so hammered.

There seems to me some very melodramatic posters on here. Then they appear to get their knickers in a twist when everyone else doesn't have the same (daft) opinion as them.
 
I was daft when we played Sunderland at home in the 1997/98 season. During the warm-up I was standing in my usual position, at the bottom of the east stand level with the halfway line, and the Sunderland players were doing their run across the pitch in a line. As they ran towards the east stand, I thought it’d be so cool to give the w*nker gesture to Kevin Ball. Ball obviously disagreed and I felt myself burning up as he didn’t turn around with the rest of the Sunderland team, he carried on jogging towards the east stand and looking me directly in the eye.

He came right up the advertising hoarding and said “what was that you were saying?” and I absolutely bricked it. I said I was only joking though obviously stopped short of saying ‘because I’m a complete sh*thouse’ (I was only 15, but still). Our Mam then stepped in - God, the embarrassment - and said, “come on, you must get that every away game,” and Ball said “what are you trying to say?” and then our Mam panicked because she didn’t mean everyone thinks you’re a w*nker, she meant away fans give you grief everywhere.

Anyway he said do it again and I’ll have you thrown out and I mumbled something, and then he jogged off. I called him a ‘tw*t under my breath and spent the remainder of the warm-up ashen-faced, incredibly quiet and deeply embarrassed.
