Couldn't get there today but saw on titnternet that apparently away fans were brawling? Anybody see this? If so seems the club and fans are in big meltdown, I wonder if Roberts is regretting his decision 1,848 brummies there today
Yes he did, you can stay or you can go, he was interesting many clubs, if he went (which he did) he chose Birmingham above other clubs So he had a choice. Not difficult to understand
Saw no trouble whatsoever. There's a possibility they were fighting amongst themselves. Plenty of arguments going on in the away end.
The stewards went in when a smoke bomb was thrown. It didn't even reach the pitch so the stewards handed some steroids out for next week.
Think they were arguing amongst them selves. One of them had been sent for hot drinks but had forgot the sugar in the kipper tie.
Can't see him regretting the safety of a five year contract on life changing money. Surprised at his blink and you miss it applause at full time like Ashley Fletcher did. Thought he'd have been more like Hourihane and Scowen were. Fighting wasn't the only thing they did. Barmy to throw smoke canisters from the back of the stand so those at the front (some that probably got hit) had to move sharpish. Plenty had a sense of humour though like when we sang you're ******* **** and they joined in with we are ******* ****. Then you had them doing the pisstake cheer of a successful pass. The best chant they did though was how **** must you be it's only 1-0.
I was packing the flag up after the game when most of our fans had gone. Several of their fans had stayed behind, seemingly in the hope of seeing a player or official to abuse. Stewards had to step in to separate a few scuffles, along with lots of verbal.
The club made it clear they weren’t interested in trying to retain him and wanted to sell him. Hardly a choice really.
Bit easier to hand out the applause when you’ve beaten us to be honest....he acknowledged the support but couldn’t really go to town with it otherwise he’d hardly be in favour with Twaterill or their fans.
I'm very reliably informed that he was on a very small amount with us, having signed from Halifax on the same contract. And that we never offered him an extension. I have also been reliably informed that Robbo was in no rush to leave, and would have very happily signed an improved deal had it been offered, for far less than Birmingham are paying him now. From this, I can draw two conclusions. Either we wanted to cash in when he was at his peak value. Or, we fcked up royally. Personally, I believe it is the former, but would be very unsurprised if it was the latter.
With Jackson to return, MacDonald and Lindsay playing, as much as I rate him very highly I don’t think he’d have made us much better had he stayed
