Welcome to Brum
Anyone notice the abysmal level of sportsmanship shown by the Blues' fans who booed when Wolves' Chris Iwelumo was carried off on a stretcher in obvious pain and distress after a truly horrendous tackle which rightly earned Lee Carsley a red card.
I don't know just how many people around the world outside Small Heath and Wolverhampton will have watched Blues against Wolves on Sky but any who did were certainly given a pretty awful impression of Birmingham as the Scottish striker was carried off to a chorus of boos and probably think everyone who lives here is a brainless moron.
So on behalf of the city, thanks lads.

i think most people can differentiate between mindless morons and normal people. The tackle was horrendous and unnecessary, but the guy has been punished for it. I do not think that anything will be served by ripping him to shreds in the media. I am sure he is well aware of the consequences of his actions, and the manager is sure to have emphasised this to him. Lets get on with our lives and be thankful that nothing terrible came of the tackle.
I am not having a go at Carsley. I am sure he never intended to cause injury and regrets making the tackle, or at least how it came out. He is a professional and sometimes thses things happen but that had nothing to do with the point I was making and I have now made that clear.
Carsley made a bad tackle and was sent off and I agree that that should have been the end of it but a significant number of Blues fans decided to boo the injured Wolves striker as he was carried off. That was what I found objectionable and I hope most Blues fans would also see it as unacceptable.
