Gutted, been to Rome before and it's a wonderful city. West Ham, the only club that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote:

Club statement on the 'incidents'
Bowltorious, the destinations I mentioned are in Astra's group, it's entirely possible we'd have been put into a different pot had we progressed.
I doubt it makes you feel any better though.

With regards the club statement , it's another threat, another telling off, another know your place lecture .
The club are not playing the smart card here .

Re: West Ham Utd vs Astra Giurgiu match thread
To be honest, the statement reminds me of the Cearns era. After away shennigans, the home programme would have a "cut it out lads" statement, and of course the obligatory "keep the fences away" tag.the pink palermo wrote:With regards the club statement , it's another threat, another telling off, another know your place lecture .

"With more than 10,000 Under-16 Season Ticket Holders"
Most of which are probably a result of the +1 or +2 initiative where ST holders went for the cheap extra tickets option, but in reality, their 48 year-old mates will be sitting in them all season (and no one seems to check on the way in whether Timmy is wearing school shorts or a 5 o'clock shadow).

It might be a generational thing, but I truly believe that anyone videoing this trouble and posting online deserves to be banned for tarnishing the name of the club. Why do people feel the need to take pictures or record every ****ing aspect of their dreary little lives?

Re: West Ham Utd vs Astra Giurgiu match thread
Aaron , it's not the fact they are going to ban him that worries me , of course he should be dealt with once a proper investigation has been carried out .That investigation should include the ticket trail of the guy clobbered as well as the puncher, the response of the stewards , the context of the incident and the real extent of physical harm done to the individual .aaronhammer wrote:I'd question anybody who thinks that shouldn't happen over last nights events which are circulating round the media.
But as I say, I don't have an issue with that , as all of that could and should be done by the club in private .
It's the statement, the public threat to the other 50,000 people in the stadium that troubles me .There's no need to issue it , the intention is to dominate and subjugate people who have done nothing wrong , and in doing so the club is further distancing itself from it's supporters .

As I understand it, the chap who has been arrested was the fella seen on video taking a clump.
Re: West Ham Utd vs Astra Giurgiu match thread
Looking at the group draws we could have had... I'm absalutely heartbroken. Teams like Fulham, Wigan and boro have had runs in Europe in the last 10 years or so, why can't we? Specialists in failure. You know how the song goes...

The 'fan' who took this video and agreed to give it to the Daily Mail is a total helmet.

Re: West Ham Utd vs Astra Giurgiu match thread
Just watching the spurs v Liverpool game, both sides are leagues above us in how they play when they are out of possession, they win the ball back so high that they are usually left 3 on 3 when they do, it is what we really need to improve, we just drop off and then when we win it we are in our own half and not threatening, so we end up always having to break down 10 men to score a goal.

It's laughable how quick some are to put down the fans, it really is.
