I saw that pig running down to spit. That was premeditated no excuses.

Also a steward came on to the pitch and clearly said something to Burge trying to wind him up. One of their fans run on and confronted him.

And they think our fans are confrontational.

I notice not much was said when they scored from the penalty and ran on the pitch

Double standards

As a Walsall fan I agree.

I think there is a section within both of our support bases who suffer with unrequited hate. Our mob would love Wolves to hate us and a couple of years ago I think Wolves were irritated but Albion will always be their rivals. Even our traditional lower league rivals like Vale and Shrewsbury, whilst not liking us, save their real loathing for others.

So there appears to be an attempt to manufacture some kind of off-field rivalry between our two sets of fans and the antics of a hundred or so on both sides over the last few weeks has added a bit of lighter fluid to what was a very small flame.

Hopefully it will blow out soon. It’s nonsense.
