Also, let's just say that none of them were saints.
What happened was that the city fans that were in with the Fulham fans started kicking off, a big gap opened up and fulham weren't really interested. Then, the main set of city fans behind the goal decided to jump the fences and go to their assistance, police on horses were called, players were removed from the pitch and Eddie may had to come out with a microphone to calm the city fans down. There was at least a twenty minute delay. No fault at all from the Fulham fans, it was purely down to a load of our own pissed up 'arsehole' fans, Ratcliffe had a point.
It must've unsettled Fulham as I think that we ran out 3-1 winners with blakey scoring a superb free kick.
