Van der MoodHoover Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Watching SSN and they're leading on a distasteful story of how the Man Utd team coach was attacked on the way to west hams ground. Shame this sort of stuff still goes on. Some footage of little kids who'd just gone to enjoy the street party and were in tears. No arrests.hope the cctv can help identify the culprits. We only gave davros some booing in 2014! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 West Ham, always have been the upper class hooligans of football. Now managed to get the public purse to pay for most of the running cost of the Olympic Stadium, does help that Dave C u next tuesday is a fan.

Sith Happens Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Its good to know that the so called legacy from the olympics will be in such good hands going forward... 'DAVID SULLIVAN claims that West Ham fans did not attack Manchester United’s team bus ahead of tonight’s clash at Upton Park. The final-ever game at the Boleyn was delayed by 45 minutes as the Red Devils’ coach got stuck in traffic near the stadium. Unsavoury snaps show Hammers fans attacking the vehicle on Green Street with glass bottles, leading to a lot of damage including plenty of smashed windows. However, co-owner Sullivan insists that the United bus is fine as it never came under threat from Irons fans in the first place, adding that Louis van Gaal’s side were lucky to be afforded extra time to prepare for the match by police. He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “It’s depressing really, it will be a late night for our fans and some of them won’t be able to stay. “I don’t understand why United couldn’t get here at 4pm. They could have got here early. They knew it would be busy. It’s crazy. There was congestion in the street and they couldn’t get the coach in. There were people around the coach, but there was no attack on the coach. “If you check the coach there won’t be any damage to it. If we arrived late at Old Trafford they wouldn’t put the kick-off back.” Speaking to Sky Sports, Sullivan added: “They know it’s our last game. They had the same problem at Tottenham a few weeks ago. “I think the police and officials have been kind. I’d make them kick off at 7.45pm if I was in charge.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be so annoyed if I was a West Ham fan and I'd stayed behind for a crappy light show and rubbish music blaring over the PA. They had god knows how many ex players there, why not get them on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sullivan's comments are almost as bad as the actual incident and should result in the first 2 games being played behind closed doors, now that would be ironic.

West Ham will, of course, be subject to no sanctions whatsoever. Imagine if the Man U coach had been attacked outside the I-Pro, what the response would have been.....?

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The west ham who survived relegation by fielding ineligible players whoes punishment was to...wait until next seasons fixtures were announced and then tell the world "it'd be unfair on the fans to change it now" ? That west ham? The FA will believe that it was not west ham fans and the coach was undamaged. Then reprimanded man u for being late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurich Ram Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Man U should be fined and banned from Europe (oh, wait a minute...) for damaging their own coach, not singing "Blowing Bubbles" and for Rooney's equally bad attitude & hair job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodypecker Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Sullivan's initial comments were glib, inaccurate and insulting, not exactly the right declarations from a club boss, who should have taken the trouble to become informed about the street situation before opening his over-active mouth. Some West Ham fans are just a slightly higher-class version of their dear ugly neighbours at Millwall. Let's hope that mob don't get promoted again. I've always regarded the Hammers' lunatic fringe as among the worst in football, along with scum from such as Leeds & Millwall - ever since I witnessed, at Wembley 1976 (when Derby beat W Ham in The Charity Shield), West Ham louts throw beer glasses through the windows of a passing coach of Rams fans. Anyone else witness that? Horrific. Yesterday's events echoed that horrid prelude and all I could muster was disgust and a knowing shudder. Made me sick to the stomach on that day in '76. I was so relieved to get into the stadium, and to watch Derby dismantle the great 'Academy' Hammers. I've disliked West Ham ever since then and surely even their fans know that their 'holy trinity' of Moore, Hurst & Peters are fond memories of glories long ago, that they cannot dine on forever? Now, those East End families can watch footage of their own kids being upset, scattered and sickened by the mindless violence and dangerous stupidity of their Upton Park mob element. They can all carry that memory into their heavily-subsidised new stadium as a tawdry reality. Up The Orient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
