An interesting video from www.theguardian.com/football on the local derby.

It is a fascinating insight, from the police standpoint, as to what they put up with at a local derby Villa v Blues.

You can see 13 mins 10 seconds in what some police think of how some of the Blues fans behave (I repeat, some of the fans)

Just a stand off between Blues and the police, with the Villa fans still locked into the ground.

Mad really isn`t it?

Bottles and bricks thrown at the police. Senseless. It`s meant to be football, not war. One policeman hit twice by missiles. Embarrassing.



As it says at the end, of over 24 000 fans, about 4% were involved in disorder.

And nothing to do with Villa v Blues but always thought this short film was very well shot:
