I can easily see this being true. I can also see people not being totally 'innocent' but still not enough to warrant what the police have allegedly done. This is exactly why I'd be avoiding boozers in and around the ground and boozers with a reputation in town when a 'tasty' team turn up. Not worth the hassle.
By not being totally innocent I mean not doing exactly what the aggressive police tell you to do. If I had a beer in me I could easily see myself telling them to do one. Then they've got their reason to pile in that they've been waiting for and there we go. Not worth it, so I avoid it.
Looks like I'm a shirter.
By all accounts you've always got a beer in you !
Seems like Cov have been having a go at them...

The 'Wall' slant though will be that they were 'skimming stones!'That sound like it could be the Foleshill Gas Club they're talking about. If it is Millwall fans were chucking rocks through the window so it shouldn't really come as a huge surprise to them that people came out to have a go at them.
Take off the dog collar and lose the Labrador and then see if you have the same luck!!I'm sure there's dodgy policemen and I'm sure there's football fans who get attacked for no reason by other teams supporters.
However I've been going to games, home and away, since 86 and have never had the slightest bit of trouble with other teams fans, stewards or police. In light of that I find it strange that there's a handful on here who seem to regularly get attacked when they are doing nothing to provoke.

Yep!Reading their forum had me chuckling.
What a bunch of childish wankers they really are. Grown men ffs.
I'm sure their tales will be twice as tall tomorrow.
I can confirm that the road outside the WHEATSHEAF was closed due to trouble, I could see from new inn bridge.

Do they reckon the likes of the Wheatsheaf has CCTV ?
Yep, was caught up in the middle of it before making an exit sharpish.
About 50 odd Millwall fans were launching bottles and cans at 4 Cov fans outside the RAOB club. The Millwall lot chased them into the pub before riot police came running down.

My issue with it all is that despite the claims of the noble hooligan about rules of engagement my experience is this. If numbers are equal rarely does anything happen but posturing and noise. Its only when a numerical advantage occurs that people get stuck in to the opportunity of handing out a kicking with little risk. Thats not being a hard man its being a violent fucker. There is a distinct difference.
Comedy read that. It's like at extract from green street. "I got claret all down my new shirt - slags".Seems like Cov have been having a go at them...

Incredible story and incredibly naive of the police officers entering a pub with cctv and attacking innocent members of the public randomly. Look forward to how this develops as never seen this happen before
I just walked past lots of police, I didn't get beaten up.
It's so common it won't make the news.
So the police all around the country are regularly going into pubs and attacking random innocent people who are just having a quiet drink but it never makes the news?
