If I remember correctly there was trouble at the Gas Club in the Championship. Possibly 12/13 when we went down and they had 6k at the Ricoh

Singing it is embarrassing, singing it from the safety of a police escort is whatever the word for worse than embarrassing is

What time was this. I saw nothing as I walked through Digbeth.
I either just missed it or it happened after I passed.

The cup draw had awkward written all over it. We have been in their ground, their pubs, their streets but never in the sense of taking it over and they’ve tolerated that. Singing Birmingham’s a shithole and the like, was at best a show of ingratitude and at worst provocative. There were clearly plenty of idiots about from all sides, theirs happen to be far nastier. The draw (match) is equally unfortunate as things will likely be uglier. I won’t be walking back through Digbeth in the dark that’s for certain.

I've never liked that chant, and singing it around the streets of Birmingham is idiotic in the circumstances. Then again, Blues fans singing 'Coventry's a shit hole, that's why you play here' repeatedly didn't get me foaming at the mouth either, just laughed at it. It's just shit banter.

From the Crown down the police lined up making everyone walk on that side. Problem was, there were pockets of Blues looking for it with anyone who wanted it.

All this is nothing compared to the stand off at New St between the Cov and Stourbridge FC. Whilst getting off the train, One of them actually laughed at someone who was singing the Mo Konjic song and then sang who are ya!

I doubt anyone will care, they made their point. If anyone wants to turn up looking for trouble they’ll find it, but aside from that they won’t be bothered.

The police I spoke to about getting back to the car park were quality. They said they were mainly concerned about blues and city meeting in Digbeth so advised me to wait for the vans to be moved at the top end which is where those flares came over. Cos I had James with me one offered to have a word and let us through but said they'd be moving the road block in 15-20 minutes so I was OK waiting.

How’s that ? Do little research & speak to the right people you’ll soon hear how big a firm Blues have.

With all due respect, how do you know? I don't, not involved with that scene and never have been, but in 25 years following Cov away there have been times I have have witnessed stuff that was far from embarrassing (in that sense anyway).

Yesterday was nothing to do with that anyway. You had 11K City fans on an away day. Loads of groups on a day out, some youngsters, some older lads, just on a day out, none of whon would identify as being 'Legion' (does it really exist in any meaningful sense anyway) , not neccesarily looking for trouble but who might have become targets and got involved in stuff.

From what I see it’s mouthy young kids who can’t handle beer or old stone island wearing piss heads,did you see cov against brum at the Ricoh ? in the car parks after near Tesco etc ?

Singing “we’ve got your ground” or what ever is was & then moaning about trouble is a bit bizarre.

I’ve read his book just out of interest and he said the few times he’s been with Cov he’s been left on his own

My attempts to persuade people to add a "k" in front of nob or nobhead when obviously referring to a cock have failed. So I'll stop now.

Could be worse in the away leg as we will be away and therefore more of the away crowd will be out.

Man left with fractured skull near Blues ground before match

Maybe this was another reason for a heavy police presence post match?

Football fans make the trouble for themselves unfortunately. Always happens if we get ‘big crowds’ because one knobhead thinks he can cope with more than one beer!

The like's for spelling knobhead correctly.

From what I’ve figured out it wasn’t the main Cov lads that were involved, it was younger ones and random fans. The police escorted the Legion late to the ground after holding them back I believe.

unfortunately it’s often the innocent people that get targeted.

Unfortunately incidents like yesterday happen. As for Birmingham, any hooligan book you read they all rate Birmingham zulus and they are nasty bastards. I hope not but as for the replay, I think the fuse has been lit.

I would disagree, the fuse was those people slagging off Birmingham and was extinguished with a fractured skull.
Unless more of ours show up looking for some kind of revenge I can’t see anything bad happening
