[Football] Aston Villa team bus attacked

[Bozza]

Two home games down, two examples of Burnley fans being utter knobbers.

Aston Villa's team bus was attacked as the team were being driven back to the Midlands following their victory at Burnley.​

​

The incident took place at junction 10 of the M65 after Sunday's Premier League match, which Villa won 3-1.​

Reports say there was significant damage to the bus after an object was thrown at the windscreen.​

​

In a statement Burnley said the club are "relieved to hear nobody was hurt in the incident".​

​

"We strongly condemn this behaviour and will support Lancashire Police in their efforts to find whoever was responsible," the statement added.​

​

The incident happened around two miles away from Burnley's Turf Moor ground.​

I despair , if losing a game means that much you have to luzz something endangering the coach passengers and the driver, and other road users lives than maybe going to football aint for you

 

[Sirnormangall]

Burnley? Surely not!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Dreadful fans, one of, if not THE worst sets of fans in the country. Desperately hope they go straight back down.

Local scallies? Not necessarily fans of Burnley what so ever it must be said.

I'd imagine they're more angry at having to live in Burnley than losing the match.

Yeh, I think it's pretty clear the club doesn't want 'em.

Maybe they were trying to hitch a lift out of town?

See what happens when players won’t sign autographs

I suspect living in Burnley is not a pleasant experience but you can’t endanger people’s lives by throwing stuff at vehicles. Hope the perpetrators get caught and jailed .

 

[LamieRobertson]

Two miles away from the ground and on a motorway …I’d be waiting for the facts b4 passing judgement?
Then hopefully they’ll get jailed

Yeah you’re right. With a recent history of racism, homophobia, booing the knee, the plane and pitch invasions, I can’t imagine why anyone would assume it would be their supporters?!

Scum fans, hopefully Kompany will have enough of them soon and walk out on them.

A whole 2 miles

It takes less than 30 minutes to walk two miles. Losing 3-1 if you left a bit early you could be on a motorway bridge before the Villa players were out of the shower.

Who do you think a) knows the route football coaches take and b) wants to attack them after a loss? Islamic terrorists? FFS.

Ban home fans for the season.

That'll f*** 'em right off.

Yeah a whole two miles…it’s stating facts not assumptions which you’ve made…I’m no fan of Burnley …just prefer to wait rather than jump on the bandwagon ….I guess you’ve never heard of anyone else chucking stuff off say a motorway bridge other than two miles from Burnley …still #neverwrong eh

 

[Bozza]

Can we settle on "People of Burnley", or will someone chip in that someone may have travelled from <insert another town here> just to lob a brick at a team bus?

The facts you’re stating are the same ones I’ve just debunked. Anyone from the ground could get to that spot and only Burnley fans would have a motive. Take a look at yourself FFS.

Not sure this is a brick, but it makes a bit of a thump.

Reports suggest the brick was dropped from a bridge rather than luzzed.
