I agree. And while Cardiff do have a load of half witted thugs following them, there's no excuse for the Burnley half-witted thugs involved as well. It was a large crowd including many elderly people and children, and at least two of the older folk were knocked over in the crush. If people can't refrain from violence just because someone calls them a rude name, then they ought to lock themselves in a tiny room like Assange and keep themselves there until they learn a bit of self-control, or die in the attempt.

The coaches for away fans are kept outside the Bob Lord stand so the Bob Lord stand supporters (which is notorious for holding the "tartan rug brigade") are first to walk past. No doubt some of the Burnley thickos were "giving it large" as I believe the saying is, and some of the Cardiff thickos came out of their coach emergency exits and stirred up trouble. But at least in the fight I saw, both men had plenty of time to walk away and not get involved, and they both chose not to - they deliberately chose to fight in an area crowded with old people; and at least one old lady was treated for an injury that they caused. I despair at how anyone is such an utter moron that they can't see anything wrong with hurting old people because someone called them names.

Rev, was that the game we lost 3-1? If so, there were some Cardiff in our section down the side. I went with my mate on the Seagull Special, and the jouney to and from the station was interesting, to say the least. Saw some awful stuff.

Was there an element of revenge by Burnley for the attack/fighting in Cardiff earlier in the season (in the other linked video)? Dumb in any case, I realise.

Next season (yes, I'm confident about tonight!), what's it's going to be like at possibly Leeds, Millwall and Swansea for them?

Alleged aeroplane gestures as well winding up the Cardiff fans. No wonder their patience snapped at the end after that and the defeat. Not defending them but not surprised they had a go back.

I really don't know why people in society are allowed to act like this. I would HATE this to happen at the Amex tonight. A five-year ban from football through the courts would act as a deterrent.

The fella mentioned in that article, Rob, is a good mate of mine. He played a few professional games for... Cardiff. You couldn't make it up.

He ran the Wilmington in Patcham as well.
