Violence Shouldn't Affect Bid Says McLeish.

He would say that, you lot are a national disgrace.

"......the violence will not hold the two clubs under a good light"? The TWO clubs? There was only one set of idiots and they were from the blue side of Birmingham.

A MASSIVE THANK-YOU TO NOT ONLY THE CORRUPT CANTS @ FIFA BUT THE CHUFFING MORONS OF THE BRITISH MEDIA, THE BIGGEST OF ALL MUST GO TO THE UTTER MORONS OF BRITAIN'S 2ND CITY, WELL DONE ! UTTER DISGRACE. Not just the damage on the Worldwide image of British Football but just as important the MASSIVE damage done to our would be economy. Yes Villa were guilty of ripping up seats & throwing the flairs back, THAT WAS AFTER SOME OF YOUR LOT STARTED IT & THREW THE FLAIRS NOT ONLY INTO THE CROWD WHERE ADULTS WERE BUT CHILDREN AS WELL, NOT TO MENTION THE PITCH INVASION & CARRYING ON OUTSIDE. NAME & SHAME THEM IF YOU KNOW THEM.

I am glad tonight that I don't support Birmingham as I would have to hide my colours in shame. Disgraceful behaviour and nobody in their right mind can say anything different.

"I am glad tonight that I don't support Birmingham" We are glad you dont as well, we dont like inbreds

Carling Cup clash: Birmingham City help police identify second city derby troublemakers Birmingham City Football Club say that no effort will be spared in identifying individuals who marred the Carling Cup Quarter Final victory over Aston Villa. Club officials are working with police and relevant authorities in scouring CCTV footage and photography – as well as ploughing through witness statements sent to the club by supporters – to identify culprits. Anyone found guilty of any disorder will face stringent action, the club said. Senior Birmingham City FC personnel met at St. Andrew’s this morning to discuss the best way to identify troublemakers. A further meeting will take place next week involving the club, Aston Villa, the local authority, safety advisory committee and the emergency services. A spokesman for Birmingham City said: "Anyone who threatens to derail Birmingham City’s ethos of welcoming families to the stadium is not welcome at St. Andrew’s and actions like those of certain individuals on Wednesday night will not be tolerated. Blues Acting Chairman Peter Pannu added: "Whilst we are very happy with the victory we are extremely disappointed with the events that took place after the game. "There will be an impartial investigation by the club as we do not condone the embarrassing actions of certain individuals. "A meeting has been called involving all parties concerned and we will of course support the football authorities and police in this investigation.

surely no one truly believes 'that' incident cost us? You really think the corrupt FIFA and the dislike of the English was ever going to bring the World Cup home? There have been incidents before (Millwall v Hammers + one v Palace this year) in London as well but the press don't mention that as much do they? The trouble at Blues was poorly controlled and the police/stewards should have known what was coming and been quicker to stop it but don't tarnish the people of the Midlands with the actions of a few hundred.

It wasn't the single decisive factor of cause, but it was an utter DISGRACE, With the timing to boot. Plus it was another kick in the teeth to our National image by 2 PL Teams was it not ? With the leaks now coming out that the announcement was made on twitter before the results declared, it makes a mockery of a "clean game" & sadly highlights the amount of corruption STILL present in FIFA & EUFA. An absolute joke minus the punchline.
