Lets hope so... We'll just be left with the group of old gentlemen (I use the term Gentlemen loosely) moaning at the referee & lino's!!!

I did notice they were getting very vocal in the Peter Ebdon Stand during the second half against the men in black. ;)

I was stood with my dad, a few steps away from them They came out with such rubbish.

Heard one of them saying "If this is the standard of players diamonds fans watch, then they've got no hope!" or something along those lines.

Felt like saying, well I'd rather watch this "standard" than the shit you watch!!, but didn't want them to attack me with their walking sticks!! :lol: :lol:

The singing from the Whitworths fans in the first half, was good light hearted banter and most Diamonds fans having a cackle at their chants. But when they seemed to realise they could get a result their chants became more harsh. I think when we play them again a week Sat, this should be monitored more closely, but if it was their reserves then the likelyhood of them being in attendance is slim if they have a fixture

Can't we just "ban" their reserve team from entering the ground?

I suggest you visit the members' forum where this aspect is discussed in more detail.

Not a member i'm afraid, but when i was pointing out the monitoring situation, i was onlt meaning to echo what somebody had said about the use of mobile phones or AFCRD TV

From the start of the game I had a bad feeling about them being where they were. (just to the right of Dales Bar, standing with the moaning old men in attendance!!)

Walking past them at the start of the second half, as they were making their way to The De Banke Terrace, made me feel uncomfortable, and I swear they muttered something to me.

On a positive note, it was great to see Dazzler & Castro?? the cat in the De Banke during the first half. A few laughs were had, including Castro?? losing his head, when he attempted to retrieve the ball! :lol:

The summary stats page is updated with last night's apps / goals etc.

although the Whitworths U18's hardly covered themselves in glory, a lack of class there :twisted:

I've been asked to point out that none of the Whitworths U18s were at the game last night. As plenty of people have since mentioned, it was their reserve players who were responsible for the appalling behavior.

My apologises I was told that they were the U18\s 8-)

Appears the discussion on the UCL Facebook page has been deleted.

Edit: There is a nice shot of the Whitworth thugs in the match photos, picture number 19 I believe. Could be used to identify them for future games.
