Albion punishment

[TriumphWolf]

It’s all guesswork at this point regarding any potential punishment against the Baggies - they will need to work with the Police and then reach a conclusion - could take a few weeks.

West Brom have blues next

 

[lets all have a disco]

We're getting in the neck from the Beeb.
If we had supporters in their end, I dare say they will be dealt with, but the other goings on next to our end was not down to us.
They say there's been three arrests.
Is that ours, or them bonzo's of theirs fighting with the old bill?

The trouble the other end was definitely sparked by our fans being in the home end ...one if ours was openly admitted before the game he had 20 or so in there end ...

But the rest was all Albion.....them always the same ...win, lose or draw they get over excited ..even the kids game them on the pitch ....makes ya laugh cause apparently they aye bothered about us ...

Where’s the bonfire?

 

[Burton Wolf]

We all know that if this had gone off at Molineux we would have the book thrown at us.
Lets see what happens?
I won't hold my breath.

 

[Hazza]

We will definitely get some sort of sanction for this, even though there doesn’t appear to be any evidence Wolves caused the problems the media are spinning both sets of supporters involved.

If Wolves were in home end and celebrated that’s silly but would not have caused the length of commotion that went on

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

A couple of bottles went back towards their fans, probably one for every 10 that came our way. None onto the pitch or at the players (or ball boys!). One young lad had a pocket money bonus picking up all the coins in the bottom corner of the stand.

Wait untilo that lad looks at the coins and finds that on one side it shows a hand with six fingers. I wont tell you what was on the other three sides.

 

[oldgoldheart]

Anyone know what they will get?

We will be punished too

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

We will be punished too

What for? Absolutely no trouble in the away end.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

I did approach a copper after the game. Told him, “well done mate thought you had a great second half!”

We had no trouble at all. Was all the Inbreds vs WMP.

Not on wolves that baggies fans sold their tickets and they didn’t have good enough systems in place to stop them getting in…..

Especially if the stories of one wearing a wolves shirt are true…..

The olympics in 2012 they checked t-shirts under jumpers to make sure you weren’t doing “gorilla marketing”

Would be brilliant if blues started the derailing of their promotion push.

I know but we were in the home end and they will punish both clubs

And was that the moment that he faced you and you took the knee.

Is it true about a Wolves fan spitting in Bartley’s Mrs’ face?

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Utterly beyond the control of the club. Also it may not be the wisest thing to do to celebrate in the home end after an Albion fan has got you a ticket, but it's not an excuse for violence.

 

[Saltyjim]

The video posted on the verdict thread (filmed by an Albion fan down near the corner flag where the trouble erupted) shows loads of their lot coming out of the Brummie Road end and making their way across the apron in front of the stands to get involved. If the trouble was a Wolves fan in their main stand celebrating that could have easily been controlled, but because of the poor stewarding there was nothing to stop their lot coming from the B End. As for the trouble down in the corner at our end, again 100% them.

I agree it’s not on us at all, I’m just saying that’s the way the narrative will go

 

[Big Saft Kid]

So what? That's Albion's fault for selling a home ticket to an away fan.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

And isn't it sad that the large majority who are completely innocent of anything will be the ones who are punished for the actions of others.

 

[crocos]

I've sat in with home fans many times, and only a proper moron would openly celebrate a goal, even in the tamest of situations. Hard to believe one of ours would go and do that in a game like this. But takes all sorts, I suppose.

If that is what happened, then it's not altogether surprising that things kicked off a bit. It's not like the Billy Quiet where you'd get offered a cuppa and a biccy.

Agreed. The video is out there for all to see. 100% their fans. Even Thatcher couldn't argue otherwise.

 

[sillytuna]

From what we could see it was all wba fans tho apparently started because of a few wolves fans in the home end celebrating (idiots). Absolutely no reason to set off what happened, and certainly not in the stand to our right. They'd been throwing bottles at the wolves players and then the police.

There was no trouble I could see from the away fans and the police were actually friendly, including after the game.

The reporting is annoying because it sounds like something it isn't, unless a few idiots did go in the home end for a scrap.

 

[wolfslair]

Oh I know mate, more that I cannot believe we should face any consequences……

Almost like when MGW started all the problems after the pen shoot out, but it was seen we were most at fault when at most it was 50/50 and that would be generous…….

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I still believe the early KOs do more harm than good too. People don’t drink less, they drink the same, but a damn site quicker.

Same with the 4k nonsense and restrictions on tickets. It causes more harm than good.

Horrible place to go to too. Amazes me how under the radar the chav element of Albions fan base goes. They are ****in horrible.

 

[Bradstonian]

Celebrating a goal isn’t illegal so I can’t see any reason why the FA would punish Wolves. WBA fans not being able to handle it and reacting in a violent manner isn’t our problem.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Is it true about a Wolves fan spitting in Bartley’s Mrs’ face?

I'll have to ask Brennan Johnson.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I will be in the brummy end with me kids a fair few wolves and albion family.

Home safe @Brockmoorwolf ? Any thoughts from the Brummie Rd?

 

[Andywolf74]

If they try and drag us into any fines / penalties due to the flares being thrown when we took the lead, I hope we point them to zilch being done when one of the Liverpool ‘angels’ threw a flare on the pitch when they took the lead at Fulham in midweek.
Not condoning pyrotechnics in the ground, as it’s totally not called for but punishment or non punishment need to be consistent.

Actually they've got the blues now
whereas we're rockin' and rollin'

I sat next to a young boy with his dad in the Billy Wright when we played Leeds a couple of years back. They scored against the run of play and he couldn't help give a small fist clench and a tiny "yesssss". I gave him one of my stern looks. He was quiet as a mouse from then on. The WMP could learn a thing or two from me.

How on earth does that work, our club have no control over that

 

[thommo1984]

That video clearly shows one person getting set upon (but doesn't look to be more than one) by a whole load of Albion fans, with a steward and maybe a couple of others trying to protect him. Then that weirdo with the hulk hogan hair does a flying kick from behind and the whole thing kicks off.

Honestly, they should be properly done for that. Massive issues with controlling their fans, and that's before we even mention the stuff being thrown at Doyle and various other incidents. Think our fans did really well to (mostly) stay restrained.

[Yam Avinaloff]

Strip them of the liquidator and give it back to us until they can lose gracefully.

 

[bigwolf]

Interesting how the media as effectively reporting it as 50/50 in terms of fault.

To those who were there it was clear who was at fault and pretty sure that will come out int the wash when police reports and footage is gathered and reviewed. I spoke to an officer as I was leaving and he told me he was surprised at the restraint wolves fans showed and that we should be proud.

On the chap who had his head cut open be was cracked with a baton. I saw it as did others but he has spent 15 mins or so throwing punches at police and goading them. How the police restrained themselves overall so well I really don't know. They did a good job in my opinion.

However it should be noted that the vast majority of WBA fans did not behave like animals. The was a minority who wanted to behave like thugs. But the overwhelming majority were well behaved and probably embarrassed at what happened.

 

[thommo1984]

The BBC report says: "...missiles were also thrown by both sets of supporters following the visitors' second goal."

Were they?

Definitely no missiles from the wolves end....none at all....

They should be forced to wash and leave there sisters alone.

Breaking decades of tradition just isn't that easy
