Wolves fans go on rampage after Lee Hughes’ shirt stunt
Wednesday 22nd September 2010, 11:30AM BST.
Wolves fans hurled bricks and breeze blocks at rival supporters’ coaches, injuring a 78-year-old woman, after a match in which disgraced former Albion star Lee Hughes taunted supporters with a Baggies T-shirt.
Yobs attacked Notts County coaches when violence flared following last night’s Carling Cup match, after Hughes’ controversial opening goal celebration that saw him lift his shirt to reveal an undershirt carrying the Baggies’ “boing boing” slogan.
Police this afternoon revealed they would speak to Wolves about Hughes’s gesture.
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey today branded the yobs involved in the attack as “morons” and said those responsible would never be allowed inside Molineux ever again.
The League Cup third round game was Hughes’ first at Wolves since he served three years of a six-year jail sentence for death by dangerous driving after his car was involved in a fatal crash in 2003.
A yellow smoke bomb was released inside Molineux as home fans reacted angrily to Hughes’s opening goal celebration in Wolves’ 4-2 win.
And trouble flared after the match when coaches taking 140 Notts County fans back home were pelted with bricks and breeze blocks, smashing windows.
A 78-year-old Notts County fan had to receive hospital treatment after her face was gashed by broken glass and supporters today told how young children on the coaches sat “petrified”.
Three coaches were damaged in the attack as the coaches travelled through Horseley Fields, one so badly that a replacement had to be sent from Nottingham to Wolverhampton to ferry supporters home.
Coach company bosses, who said they are “gutted”, today revealed repair costs were expected to run up to more than £20,000.

What a bunch of Morons, I hope they are all identified and banned for life.
Apologies to the Notts fans.
The idiot in the T-shirt also needs punishment.
Report abuse
You can’t condone what some people have done, throwing bricks at coaches full of away supporters is unforgiveable. I don’t think it’s fair to tar all Wolves fans with the same brush though & the incident has nothing to do with real Wolves fans. As far as Lee Hughes goes, I don’t like the man at all (no surprise), but I think he was asking for trouble showing that message to the Wolves fans, why wasn’t he booked for taking his shirt off? I wonder what the Notts County fans must think of him, when he’s showing his passion for the Tesco lot, the club that dumped him?!
Report abuse
The idiot wolves fan on here who think that lee Hughes is to blame for our fans attacking three coaches need to grow up!!! our fans chanted murder an other obscene songs all game and all he did was show a tshirt I don’t like the guy obviously but the banter on the night was quite enjoyable he took the absuse all night and responded with the tshirt all it said was boing boing. to say he has no remorse for what happend to that poor family is idiotic he does loads off charity work stays in touch with the family. He didn’t murder anyone it was DEATH BY DANGEROUS DRIVING Not MURDER which means it was a RTA which could have been avoided if he hadn’t been driving like an idiot he didn’t go out with intention to kill someone it was an accident. thats something he has to live with for the rest off his life. to blame lee Hughes for our fans behaviour just shows how idiotic and moronic we are doesn’t it ?????

So all that violence was Lee’s fault ?, for goodness sake give me a break.
Report abuse
You having a laugh mate? Just cause he is in the public eye I think it was wrong what he did but let him live his life, All he was doing last night was showing his loyalty to the Albion, Nothing wrong with that? No way can he be blamed for some supporters behaviour
Report abuse
How would you feel if it were the other way round if Lee Hughes was a wolves fan and it was West Brom playing Notts County and he did exactly the same with “Wolves Ay We” or anything else to do with Wolves on his tshirt, I bet you’d be a bit miffed wouldn’t you?
Im also guessing it wouldnt make you go out and chick a load of bricks at coaches either, like the “proper hard” so called wolves supporters!
Report abuse
i would love to see wba v notts county in the cup, then where would his loyalties lie?? if he scored a couple past you then i bet you’d call him all names under the sun!!
Report abuse
There is a bit of a leap from calling someone names to throwing bricks at coaches and putting an elderly lady in hospital.

It wouldn’t make me sneak flares into the ground and brick coaches containing women and kids.
Then again, i’d like to think i have more brain cells than your average household salad tray.

Shouldn’t it read: Wolves fans goad Hughes; Hughes’ shirt jibe sparks anger; Some neanderthals attack innocent people?
You can’t attribute this violence to Hughes alone.
I’m not defending what he’s done in the past, not at all, but (to steel your quote wbaforever, apologies), moral decency is a two-way street.

i’m ashamed 2 be a wolves fan after hearing the disgracing morons who can beat a 78 year old woman up and only 140 supporters with kids,find them and ban 4 life, no wounder we get called dingles, upset wolves fan

im in now way condoning what happened, but did you read the same article as everyone else? where did you get ‘beat a 78 yr old woman up’ from???

A message for Lee Hughes.
Lee. Lee Lee Lee. What do you think you’re playing at? Let’s get something straight – you owe football. You owe it respect, you owe it humility, and above all, you owe it the recognition that every game you play from now until your retirement is a supreme privilege. You should, by all rights, be enjoying a life of ruin and personal torment, but because football is football, you once again can enjoy life with your nose buried in the trough.
But with that, in your case, come certain responsibilities, chief among them being to not be a complete cretin, to not goad and provoke opposing fans, and to generally spend your every waking moment showing the game how thankful you are to be a part of it. It’s not an exaggeration to say that, when you act like a typical footballing idiot on the pitch, like you did last night, you are betraying even further the memory of the man you killed, and giving us all fresh reminder to think of you as the scumbag that most already think you are. All you need to do, Lee Hughes, is keep your head down, and show every fan in every ground in the land, nothing but deference and respect, even if they are Wolves fans who boo your every move. If you can’t manage, and see the moral rectitude in, that, after all you have done, then I worry for your eternal soul.

Well said! I’m a Baggies fan and wish we could disassociate Hughes from our team. He knew what he was doing by wearing that t-shirt and ought to be ashamed of himself, but shame is an emotion he apparently doesn’t possess.
Just as the idiots who went on the rampage last night should be ashamed of their actions.
Football is a sport, to be enjoyed, not filled with violence and hatred. It’s supposed to be “The Beautiful Game”

i agree he was an idiot ithink by now he knwz how much wolves h8 albion and how much we hate them so he has to start a rage by puttin on an albion shiirt he shud be banned and fined

What a pitiful attempt at sweeping under the carpet the fact that your disgraceful fans attacked three of our supporters coaches, smashed windows and put and elderly lady in hospital.
We were all searched on entering the ground, im assuming the same doesnt apply to your fans who brought the smoke bomb in?

Thanks for tarring all Wolves fans with the same brush mate !

Petesnuts – Do you genuinaly beleive what you have just written?
I love your hypocracy, 10k Wolves fans can chant ‘murderer’ for 90 minutes and because he shows a t-shirt that says ‘boing boing’ on it, he is the one being disrespectful to the family of the dead man.
Playing football for Lee Hughes is a job, if he had committed the crime that he did but was a builder, would he owe the building trade the same debt? Course he wouldnt!
Also, could you please explain to me how Lee Hughes goading fans who are abusing him is in any way related to him showing a lack of remorse for what he did?
He shows remorse by staying in touch with the family, by doing charity work and getting on with his life, this doesnt mean that he has to spend every second of his life looking apologetic.
Report abuse
The difference is… if he were in the building trade he would no doubt have struggled to find employment after his custodial sentence. The point is, Football clubs were still eager to employ him immediately after release.
Report abuse
well said cant argue with that if he wasnt a fotballer he may still be behind bars now
Report abuse
Man Wolf
I know a fair few brickies who have done time and got jobs get real.

What a ridiculous comment mancwolf, He would have walked straight back into a job in the building trade as he has done with football.
As a wolves fan I am ashamed at these so called ‘supporters’ who attacked the coach (thats assuming they are wolves fans at all).
We gave Hughes stick, he gave us some back. Get over it.
None of us moaned when the albion used to boo Bully every game and he would rub their noses in it (i know hughes has a chequered past but whether anyone likes it or not he’s done his time). I think some people need to grow up.

The most sensible post on here by a long way , well said James.

As an accountant if I had done what he did, I would lose my letters after my name, not be a member of an accounting body and struggle to get a decent accounting job.
He is very lucky to get to play football still!
Report abuse
Get real, if every accountant that had been done for drinking and driving lost their letters there would be a load of them out of work. you lose your letters for malpractice or fraud, not for something unrelated to work.
Report abuse
NCFC … absolutely EVERY COMMENT and observation you make is spot on ! No-one condones one iota what Hughsie did but like it or not he’s ‘done his time’; been fortunate to get back into his trade and appears to be doing ok. A ‘boing boing’ defiant gesture for his goal and wolves’ fans for their inevitable extreme rival vitriol is part of the game!! The moronic and inexcusable actions against the Notts fans by the hooligan element of Molineux is beyond abhorent … but Hughes cannot be made that particular scapegoat even if some do grasp at that particular straw for an excuse !
Report abuse
As I have argued in the other thread about this match, Hughes has revealed himself to be a grade A cretin with no respect for the game, humility or moral judgment.
If you are one of the Wolves fans guilty of perpetrating violence against the County fans, you can consider yourselves around and about his level. Behaving like scum, because you are enraged by other scum acting like scum, does not mean you cancel each other out.
Warren, WBAForever, in the other thread you are missing my central point, which is that Hughes needs to recognise that he is a distinctly special case and behave accordingly, on the pitch and off it, and that behaviour includes not making oafish T-shirt statements in a deliberate attempt to rile up opposition fans. It doesn’t matter how much abuse you are getting – incitement is incitement. Hughes may have learned a lesson in his time inside but he seems to have forgotten it last night.
Report abuse
Honestly PeteNuts you need to get real.
He lifted up a T-shirt that said boing boing on it, it had no relevance to the crime he committed several years ago.
It wasnt as though he made a direct gesture linking back to what he did. It was a bit of Banter that clearly your lot couldn’t take!
Put it this way If it had been the other way around I’m sure you would feel the same as me.
Report abuse
See my other posts. You’re completely missing the point, but if it’s any consolation, you’re not alone.

Lee Hughes you are absolute disgrace to football. your actions have resulted in innocent football fans having there night spoiled, but guess what and there is no surprise here. we were you when it goes wrong??? Yes thats right no were to be seen!!

james is right to be fair. notts county fans didnt no tht hughes was going to do tht, so why attack him
Report abuse
Shouldn’t grown men be able to control themselves and not attack old ladies and attack coaches rather than laying the blame on Lee Hughes? Wasn’t a goal by him always going to spark a reaction being an ex Albion player? To intimate it’s his fault for the violance is a disgrace to be honest. Wolves supporters should be able to control themselves.

Lee Hughes is a trouble making, poor excuse for a human being. He wore the t-shirt to start trouble and after everything he has done still went out to cause trouble.
He obviously has no remorse for what he has done and I feel for the family involved with his ‘incident’ when reading this in the paper and watching the news today, has he learnt his lesson? NO.
Report abuse
I love how Lee Hughes is being blammed for Wolves thugs attacking three coaches.
How does a man wearing a t-shirt saying ‘boing boing’ make you want to throw bricks at innocent people?
Report abuse
Whilst it is pretty deplorable that these “Morons” attacked the Notts County coaches you obviously have no idea or understanding the rivalry between Wolverhampton Wanderers and The Poorthorns.
Lee Hughes was responsible for inciting violence.
Report abuse
Rubbish!
Doesn’t everyone have a personal responsibility to control themselves?
Do you not realise that any one of those bricks thrown at the coaches could have killed a TOTALLY innocent person/child.
It shows a lack of intelligence and complete disregard for human life.
Some of those people will be so scarred by the event, especially the children that they will never go to a match again.
Those thugs should go to prison.

can i apologise on behalf of true wolves fans for the behaviour of the people who acted like animals towards your fans. even though this so called professional decided it would be a good idea to premeditate a message to us. i hope everyone involved thinks about the consequences of their actions. so called players and fans alike. me and my son are season ticket holders and it should be about the football on the pitch. not stupid messages or childish vendettas. hope they are all ok healthwise.

I was born, raised and still live in Smethwick and he is the only person/thing that makes me ashamed to be from there. He could have been in the pantheon of Sandwell greats such as Cyrille Regis, Franks Skinner and Julie Walters but instead he’s just a thug. I was in the Dog pub on the Hagley Road two years ago when he was there and he gave the impression of the archetypal self obsessed footballer – only uglier and more stupid. Thats a beasutiful pub usually but he single handedly destroyed the atmosphere in there.

no excuse for the fans reaction !!! but Hughes should be fined for his stupid actions !!

i feel realy sorry for that poor woman this should never of happenend lee hughes must shoulder some of the blame in a obvious attemtp to provoke the wolves fans and the wolves fans for taking the bait.the best reply to hughes was on the pitch.but saying that as a so called profesional he should be called infront of the fa to explain his idiotic behaviour.
Report abuse
Well having read through all the comments on this matter I am pleased to see so many Wolves fans accepting that it was indeed Wolves fans who bricked the coaches, rather than somebody who was not Wolves fans as infered by Jez Moxley.
I arrive at this conclusion because so many of you are blaming Lee Hughes celebration for causing it, if that is what you think then it automaticlly leads on that it was Wolves fans who did it.
Report abuse
An absolute disgrace and the morons involved should be ashamed of themselves for these idiotic actions.
Lee Hughes was bombarded with insults all night (quite right I believe) but for so called fans to react the way they did is unacceptable and I sincerely hope the authorities identify the culprits and deal with them appropriately

Obviously this prat hasn,t learned anything,he is just a yob and should be charged with inciting trouble.

I really hope the lady with the facial injuries gets better soon, and if they are actually wolves fans i hope they get caught and banned for life.
What lee hughes did was a disgrace and he should be feeling lucky that he is playing football. He got a bit of stick but nothing to warrant him to goad the Wolves fans by revealing a top saying Boing Boing. It is going to cause friction between sets of fans when they are standing up singing stand up if you love Lee Hughes. These mindless, immature, thugs will get caught and be banned.
He has killed one person seriously injured another for life and yet he is still allowed to play football and wear a shirt to goad thousands of fans while he is safe on the pitch. He did his job by scoring no need for the stupid reaction which may have sparked the reaction after the game.
Lee Hughes hope you wake up read what reaction it caused and hang your head in shame. once again.

@ NCFC
I honestly don’t think I have anything more to argue further to what I’ve posited on the Wolves 4 Notts County 2 thread, the moral impetus on a man convicted of killing another human being, to conduct himself with humility and respect, even in the face of overwhelming provocation, is plain for the world to see. The cretinousness of a portion of the Wolves fans is neither here nor there (although, obviously, I’d rather it was literally neither here nor there). When you deliberately make an attempt to incite rage and opprobrium, you cease to show that humility and that respect, and if you’re willing to switch your moral compass off and on when it suits you, then – as I am getting tired of saying – you have learned nothing. All that good charity work that you have evidently done, is tarnished and loses much of its meaning, if you act like a prize bell-end when you’re not on do-gooder duty.
It’s a pretty simple argument really. But I won’t slow down, you’ll just have to catch up.

don’t think you can really blame it all on lee hughes and his daft actions… have seen plenty of violence from mindless so-called fans many times before – will they ever grow up?!?

Laughing wolf I think it’s unfair to compare other Albion players to Lee Hughes. I like most Albion fans wish never to see Hughes again in a football shirt but because of mistakes made by players doesn’t warrant insults at our club.

1. Wolves fans who attacked coaches are idiots and should be banned for life and face criminal charges. Their behaviour was disgusting.
2. When Adabayor celebrated in front of the arsenal fans he was banned for 3 games for insighting trouble. Lee hughes has done the same and the difference this time is that it was clearly pre meditated and he should get a longer ban. professional footballers have a duty to behave correctly and set an example.
3. Notts county manager shouldnt have defended lee hughes actions and should take some responsibility for his players.

totally agree on all points.the wolves fans that done this are scum and deserve to be banned,lee hughes is a totally moron for inciting trouble with showing the t shirt and notts county should take responsibility and punish lee hughes as well.

I accept what you’re saying in that a footballer shouldn’t incite supporters but I still can’t accept that showing a t-shirt at a football match is an indicator of whether or not a person has learnt a lesson for a crime they’ve committed.

Steve Bull spent years goading Albion fans whenever he scored against us (which was quite often), he’d intentionally run to our supporters.

Let me get this right, because he wore a T-Shirt that had ‘Boing Boing’ on, it gave the wolves supporters the right to hurl objects and injure an innocent 70 year old woman?

Admittedly it was something he knew was going to cause a reaction, and i’m sure he probably wouldn’t have done it if he’d known that innocent people were going to get injured as a result.
He’s a life long Albion fan and knew that this would probably be his last chance to get one over on the wolves.
Utterly ridiculous, Wolves fans are a disgrace for what they did, and anybody in connection should be banned for life.

It was just a t-shirt. Nothing more. It is not an excuse for some brain-dead to go and cause havoc.
The trouble is with this country, no one’s prepared to take responsibility for their own actions. Three coaches and a pensioner were attacked – the outcry is “fine and suspend Hughes”. But for what? Wearing an Albion slogan on his shirt in the Wolves ground?
Oh, come on – get a grip people.
Report abuse
The mistake people are making is by thinking that the two ‘incidents’ are related.
Yes Lee Hughes was silly and shouldn’t have worn that t-shirt but he did, at the same time your fans shouldn’t have spent 120 minutes chanting ‘murderer’ but they did.
That is a completely seperate issue to some of your idiotic fans choosing to walk to our coaches and throw bricks at innocent people.
Just because Lee Hughes wore that t-shirt it does not condone in any way shape or form innocent fans being assaulted, injured and put in hospital.
Report abuse
3 separate ‘incidents’ actually – Hughes wasn’t responding to the taunts, he was going to show the t-shirt if he scored anyway – but I agree with you.
The fans taunts were OTT. Hughes was guilty of incitement and should be punished accordingly. However, by far the most shameful incident of the night was the attack on the coaches and no Wolves fan should be trying to excuse it.
If the ‘fans’ concerned can be identified, they should be given the opportunity to experience what Hughes did.

Why cant football fans learn, we all knew that if Notts County scored Lee Hughes was probably the one to do it.
So why then do Wolves fans attack innocent people? they cant blame Lee Hughes who incidently hasn’t done himself any favours by his behaviour either but if fans boo or abuse a player for whatever reason and lets be honest what Lee Hughes did was dispicable they have to take it back in return.
It will be the same if Kevin Phillips plays for blues, he will get merciful stick and abuse and if he scores the same people will complain when he celebrates in front of those very fans who have abused him during the game.
You cant have both ways people, its an old cliche but if you “cant take it dont give it” its as simple as that.

I really can’t believe what i’m reading on here. Are you lot for real? Ok he wore a t-shirt with Boing Boing on it but didn’t everyone know he was an Albion Fan before kick off? I suppose he didn’t get any stick at all from the crowd? When he touched the ball and his every movement i suppose wasn’t booed? I suppose there were no supporters after his blood everytime he walked anywhere near the crowd shouting abuse at him. Then this paper without condeming it’s own fans and blames him for the mindless violance? Even your own supporters are saying god knows whats going to happen when the Albion play there, an away win I should imagine, better not celebrate though just in case we upset anyone and it’s our fault for Wolves fans attacking us! Unbelievable!

happy if you bothered to read all comments on here we are not condoning what the idiots did after the game or the premeditated act of stupidty by hughes both deserved to be labled as scum.i for one dont lay the blame at either club evry one is resposible for there own actions or reactions to lump all our supporters into the bracket of “”you lot is”" simply childish

PeteNuts – I am afraid that any reasoned discussion with you on this issue is pointless due to you view being so tainted by your hatred for Lee Hughes and therefore any reasoning goes straight out of the window.
Can you honestly tell me that there is no person connected with Wolves who has a criminal record, no supporter, player, coach, tea lady and that if you found out there was that you would castigate them in the same manner you do Lee Hughes?
He committed a crime, no one condones this but it is something that has to be accepted as it cannot be ignored, we as football fans did not decide the length of his sentence, a sentence which he has since served.
He is now free to work and earn a living just as every other person in this country is, unfortunately his choice of job upsets you but that cannot be helped, he is a footballer by trade and that is how he earns his money.
I also love your further hypocracy of you trying to take the moral highground and yet you and your fellow supporters deep it acceptable to chant ‘murderer’ for 120 minutes as well as other sickening chants, i wonder what the young Wolves supporters thought of this.
And answer me this, if the family of the deceased man were at the game, what do you think would have upset them the most, a man who has made his peace with them, doing his job and wearing a WBA t-shirt or 10k fans chanting and singing the songs you did?
But as you say, you are bored of being proved wrong so have a good day.

Firstly Lee Hughes made a massive mistake all those years ago and still pays for it now, he’ll never be forgiven and it’ll never be forgotten. That is why he plays in League 1 and not higher! Plus wearing a Boing Boing shirt is not the brightest idea in the world is it now!
But for anybody in this world, to say it is his fault for mindless morons attacking notts county coaches are deluded and idiotic! Your club should be fined for the incident and those people guilty punished!
It’s not one man’s fault for 20 odd yobs attacking people!

These are the facts:

2. As a genuine fan I am very sorry for what happened to Notts County fans and I for one am ashamed.
3. Lee Hughes is a not very bright – he incited a volatile crowd – he should be disciplined by his club and the FA and be investigated by the police with a view to criminal charges.
4. The Police should have been more active given the likelihood of morons making trouble.

Totally agree with your points 1 to 3. However, with regard to point 4, this was a Steward only matche and therefore the normal amount of policing was not in place.

No excuses for the moronic fans who bring the clubs good name into disrepute.
Lee Hughes should also be disciplined by the FA for his behaviour. Putting that T shirt on was a pre-meditated act intended to incite the Wolves fans. His behaviour during the game was also reprehensible. I thought I detected a rude gesture at one point, and continually grinning inanely at the fans in the Jack Harris, knowing the Ref could not see this, was also being deliberately inciteful.
If Adebayor was fined and had a suspended ban for running the length of the pitch to incite Arsenal fans last season, Then Hughes should be treated similarly by the FA

Whilst the attacks on the Notts fans was disgraceful and moronic, I’m sorry WBA/County fans, but Hughes did Kickstart this with his actions.
He obviously created the t-shirt knowing damn well he would be taunted by the Wolves fans no matter what. But come on, this sort of stuff has been going on for years!!! Even if he hadn’t have scored, you could guarantee that that slogan would have made an appearance at some point in the match, eg. If County would have won, or as a Rooney-like strop at the Wolves fans if he stayed on and they lost.
His T-shirt may have well as said “Ha Ha, you can’t get me, but my fans will be more than happy to take the onslaught for me.”

Happy_Baggie – your reference to people dragging up his past
Is it not somewhat naive to believe that Hughes would not have presumed that this would both;
- Draw media attention
- incite an aggressive reaction from the opposing fans?
You refer to tragic events like he was an innocent victim which based on his jail term is a rather offensive thing to suggest – do you think the victims family refer to it in the same way?
And in response to your question about Kevin Philips – I don’t believe that this is a reasonable question as a player like Philips, who is intelligent, rationale and professional would never contemplate such a gross error of judgement.
However, a player like Hughes – who essentially is and always will be a mindless barbaric thug – this sort of behaviour is very much par for the course and to believe that your opinion is based on anyhting but an extremely biased view of a player your supporters held in high esteem is as stupid as your comments.
No one is linking the events as you suggest. His previous criminal history is simply being used as a means of understanding his flawed character to determine and justify how someone could pull such a ludicrous stunt as the one he pulled last night.

Firstly: Lee Hughes in many peoples view should not be allowed to earn a living in the public domain in such a priviledged manor. Forget the law and the so called punishment he received for what he did, some people dont agree with it.
Secondly: As far as his t-shirt is concerned, I thought it was actually quite funny and entertaining that he scored. Made better by the fact we won the game but still added something to a dull affair. However there is always the danger of looking like an idiot when players do this as they went on to lose the game…….. oooops Lee.
Thirdly: The morons that did trash the coaches need to be in jail as a deterrant. It was probably only a few but the club get tainted with their actions.

NCFC is entirely right. There is no proven link between Lee Hughes’s T-Shirt and what happened in Horseley Fields. It was ill-advised even stupid but my bet is that the coaches would have been pelted by those thugs irrespective of whether the shirt incident had occurred!
Secondly, calling anyone a “murderer” is cheap and cruel! He wasn’t guilty of that and it won’t make the bereaved family feel any better! I wonder how many of the baying masses have been done for driving or other criminal offences? How would they like to be reminded of their guilty past by people chanting at them when they turn up for work.

I’m afraid to link Hughes’s actions to those of the morons is ridiculous.
He was getting some stick from the Wolves fans which we all know is part and parcel of football (the part that makes it such great entertainment at times) and in fairness to him he had a go back with the shirt. Of course he knew what he was doing and it was deliberately antagonistic but he cannot be blamed for the events that transpired.
The actions of those few last night is a disgrace which tarnishes not only a great football club but also a great city and I only hope they are caught and get what’s coming to them.

Well done Wolves!!!! Seriously, Well Done!!
It is a wonder why coach travel costs so much, companies won’t entertain football travel at all, and even if they do, finding drivers willing to put themselves at risk for crap wages. You have just put another nail in an already nearly sealed coffin.
Coach travel is supposed to be safe, whether your going to a match theatre school etc, so by wrecking these coaches/buses, not only have you put the driver and their passengers at risk, I bet you would go mad if you were waiting for a coach/bus next day to take you or your family to work school or on holiday cos some knobheads wrecked it the night before.
Football is a game, thats it. It used to be fun. Hughes shouldn’t have done that, but if you turned the other cheek, and didnt take any notice, that would have been even funnier. He went out there last night to wind you all up. If you had ignored him, just imagine how much it would have wound him up.
Those who caused this damage deserve to be locked up. Lives are irreplaceable, so are limbs.
Coaches/buses cost money. When I used to drive football coaches, my old boss used to get moaned at for sending older coaches. I can see why he did now!!
Other point is this, next time theres this fixture, how many notts city fans will say, i aint going there again. Wonder how much lost revenue that will cost the club.

So Boing Boing are offensive words (LOL), lets face it football rivalry exists throughout the game, so Hughes winding up the wolves fans with what can only be described as inoffensive harmless banter should be treated as no different to the abuse the fans aim at oppostion players every home game.

Don’t get me wrong, much as it hurts me to say it, the majority of Wolves fans are well behaved, and some of them are good friends of mine. Unfortunately, you seem to have a very nasty element at your club, which can dish it out, but can’t take anything back in return.

Most of you are still missing the fact that the brick throwing had never happened if the clubs had acted as they should have done.
Everyone knew Hughes and Wolves fans would clash verbally during the game, specially if Hughes scored. Some supporters even got to the game because of this fight. Hughes did what everyone expected him to do..
The clubs should have been aware of that this was a game with potential trouble around the arrangement and should have protected the buses as they were leaving Wolverhampton after the game. This was another huge mistake made by Wolves in just a couple of weeks.. they make incorrect decisions of arrangements and safety – like they did as they decided only to order 1500 away tickets for the Tottenham game.. and the worst thing is that they dont understand that they have done any mistakes. The Club Statement today was pathetic. Of course Wolves must pay every penny for the repair costs etc and take responsibility for their bad decisions.

There were clearly a lot of idiots at the game last night. Lee Hughes was obviously one of them. I’m not overly impressed with the Notts County management team for letting him wear his t-shirt or responding in any way to the goading he got. But he wasn’t the only idiot at Molineux – the Wolves fans throwing smoke bombs and coins at Hughes were as bad (Kevin Doyle had to pick a coin up and throw it off the pitch after he came on). But much worse were the idots who attacked the Notts County coaches. Completely inexcusable and indefensible – a stain on the reputation of our team and our city. Identify them and ban them for life. We should publicly apologise to Notts Co fans and foot the bill for any damage and medical treatment.

Yes what Lee Hughes did was shameful and yes he has served his time. There are still many Albion fans who no longer like him for his actions that night. However, some of the bias in these comments from both sets of fans is laughable.
Obviously every Wolves fan will have a negative view of him simply due to his Baggies background and many Baggies fans are simply winding you all up for the fact that he scored against you. That’s what happens in football!
How many Wolves fans can honestly say that when the draw was made you were not hoping that he would be playing so that you could give him stick?
Similarly, I bet he was hoping he would be playing and that he would be in for a whole world of abuse. This t-shirt was planned in just the same way some Wolves fans would have been planning their verbals too. He knew it was going to happen and so had a response.
Blmaing this for the mindless acts of a very small minority of Wolves ‘fans’ is ridiculous.

I bet he had nothing but grief from the Wolves fans last night, and the way he responded was to score a goal and celebrate it by showing a T-shirt saying ‘Boing Boing’.
That’s hardly the worst thing he’s ever done is it?!
I’m not saying that I agree with what Lee Hughes did, but to react like that is ridiculous!
You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Firstly, sincere apologies to the County fans and to those injured and terrified. If any Wolves fans are involved let them meet the strictest punishment.
Lee Hughes and the idiot who threw the smoke bomb are both guilty of a PRE-MEDITATED act which they knew would cause trouble. They too should be dealt with severely.
Chanting murderer at that pathetic little man was also well out of order, but sadly, entirely expected.
Any Albion fan who still feels the need to be associated with Hughes (and many on here do NOT,thank goodness) should look deeply at themselves and all that is wrong with football today. There isn’t a day goes past that some hideously overpaid young footballer isn’t bringing disgrace upon his club, his country, his profession and himself. There are far too many of them who have far too much money and behave atrociously. Then there are the ones who go beyond the pale, individuals like Hughes and the convicted sex offender who Coventry have just given a £10k a week contract to. These people should not be allowed back into the game. Like it or not they are role models to the next generation.
….and don’t give me that rubbish about they’ve done their time let them get on with their lives !
We all know what Lee Hughes did, how he tried to escape punishment and how, to most decent minded people, he was released far to soon. Peter Swann, Tony Kay and others were banned for life for match fixing in the sixties. Quite right, but compare their crime to that of the aforementioned.
If he’d been dealt the same hand, Lee Hughes wouldn’t have had the chance to take his shirt off.
I’m certain there are many thousands of Wolves, Albion and Notts County supporters who will agree.
With what we’re being accused of on the pitch and now what our, so called, fans are doing off the pitch this is indeed a difficult time for the Club and it’s real fans

Wish the lady who got hurt all the best and feel so sorry for the fans on the coaches. Every club has idiots who do stupid acts like last night.
But Lee Hughes is the biggest disgrace to football EVER, I saw useless at one point last night rubbing his eyes like he was pretending to cry,which clearly shows I don’t really care for what I done. Ncfc are also a disgrace for giving this thug a job, every time he scores it’s a kick in the teeth for the family of the man that lost his life due to this Moran .

firstly, there is no excuse for attacking coaches.
secondly why are all the baggies coming on the wwfc page and having a go at all wwfc fans ?
have wba fans never been involved in violence?

Just to put the record straight it’s NOTTINGHAM Forest & NOTTS County.
Living in Nottingham all my life (54 years) I can never, ever remember any violence on the streets of Nottingham between the two sets of supporters. They are two totally seperate types of supporters but both with respect for each other, anyway why would you need a coach to cross a river??

I wouldn’t defend Lee Hughes’ actions,but the national newspaper I read said that the wolves fans were giving him very bad abuse from the time he stepped on the pitch,so scoring a goal and showing his t-shirt was his reply to that.If people around the country read that article,then see that wolves fans attacked coaches with fans from a small club,and injured an elderly Lady,there’s going to be a very bad image of wolves throughout the UK,regardless of what Albion fans think.Fans and players winding each other up in the ground is one thing,but attacking innocent people outside is way out of order,and there can be no excuse for it.

Lee Hughes is a clown, so what! There is no reason to throw bricks at innocent fans because of this these people are complete idiots. As for the game he was probably the most dangerous attacker on show while he was on. Marcus Bent was useless so were Foley (never a midfielder) Elokobi – embarrasing and Stearman – awful

“PeteNuts – I am afraid that any reasoned discussion with you on this issue is pointless due to you view being so tainted by your hatred for Lee Hughes.”
I don’t hate Lee Hughes, and have defended him in the past in discussions about giving criminals a second chance. But I do think he is an idiot now.
“Can you honestly tell me that there is no person connected with Wolves who has a criminal record, no supporter, player, coach, tea lady and that if you found out there was that you would castigate them in the same manner you do Lee Hughes?”
If they had committed a crime that had resulted in another person’s death, and at a later date acted in such a shameful way as to deliberately provoke a wrathful response, yes. I’d want them run out of my club on a rail.
“He committed a crime, no one condones this but it is something that has to be accepted as it cannot be ignored, we as football fans did not decide the length of his sentence, a sentence which he has since served.”
You’re missing the point. It’s all there in everything I have posted before, today. The length of the sentence, harshness of the sentence, it’s all meaningless if you take nothing away from it.
“He is now free to work and earn a living just as every other person in this country is, unfortunately his choice of job upsets you but that cannot be helped, he is a footballer by trade and that is how he earns his money.”
And so he owes the game humility and respect, and last night he showed it none. I feel I have been pretty clear on this point.
“I also love your further hypocracy of you trying to take the moral highground and yet you and your fellow supporters deep it acceptable to chant ‘murderer’ for 120 minutes as well as other sickening chants, i wonder what the young Wolves supporters thought of this.”
I don’t find it acceptable to chant “murderer” at him at all, I don’t even think it’s true. But I do find nasty chanting to be on a slightly, slightly higher ethical plane than getting tanked up and killing someone with my car.
“And answer me this, if the family of the deceased man were at the game, what do you think would have upset them the most, a man who has made his peace with them, doing his job and wearing a WBA t-shirt or 10k fans chanting and singing the songs you did?”
He would probably look at the snarling, petty little man, deliberately goading 20’000 people just like him, and feel a little betrayed.
“But as you say, you are bored of being proved wrong so have a good day.”
I don’t believe I said that, but if you’d like to point out where I did, I would be happy to accept it. Unfortunately, what I believe I said, in a roundabout way, is that your argument is circular and repetitive and your thinking cretinous. Come back to me when you have something boasting any intellectual rigour to offer, rather than blind indignation and wall-headbutting returns to the same tired argument.

PeteNuts
How dare NCFC disagree with such an intellectual genius as yourself.
If NCFC’s argument is cyclical and repetitive, then what is yours given you’ve posted over 5 posts on 2 threads, arguing exactly the same thing and refused to acknowledge the point of others?
You accused me earlier of equating shouting abuse at Lee Hughes to him killing someone at the wheel (which I didn’t if you re-read my posts), yet your argument is wholly based on somehow linking his past to his actions at a football match.
Lee Hughes’ actions last night might render him a certain type of character emotionally, but it doesn’t justify the physical actions of a few afterwards, whatever you think of Hughes.
This forum’s about opinions Pete, not everybody is going to agree with you.
So far as I can see nobody’s been personal with you on either this or the other thread, so for you to label people cretinous and to engage with them in such a condescending manner only serves to make you look arrogant, hypocritical and dismissive rather than the profound and intelligent character you’re trying to make yourself out to be.

If I repeat myself, Warren, it is because people keep missing my point, which I believe I have iterated and reiterated adequately, but evidently the penny hasn’t dropped.
And so, once again… My point is that Hughes is a unique case, a man who has once again been embraced by a sport after he committed an act of unconscionable wrong. I defend his right to that embrace but with it come certain responsibilities as regards to his behaviour within the sport, responsibilities that he grossly violated on Tuesday night. I’m not offering that as an opinion, Warren – it’s a fact, as plain as the nose on your face. Hughes owes football, big-time.
Let me put it in the plainest terms possible: when your stupidity has killed a man, you have a moral obligation to live the rest of your days as smartly as you can.
If you read what I have posted, then you know full well I am as disgusted by the actions of those Wolves fans as pretty much everyone else – but that is a side-issue to what I am addressing.
I don’t believe that I have been hypocritical, in fact I know I haven’t. As for arrogant and dismissive, I can only apologise, but it’s difficult not to come across in such a manner when you know you’re right and the other person is wrong. As an aside, I don’t consider the term “intellectual” to be an insult, unless you are using it sarcastically, in which case you should know that sarcasm does not work in the written form.

I acknowledge what you say and don’t think anybody is disputing that Hughes should be indebted to football for the opportunities it’s given him. The point many are making is that goading supporters after a goal, whilst perhaps naive and lacking in dignity and respect, pales into insignificance in comparison with:
a) throwing a brick through a coach window; and
b) getting into your car drunk.
Both a) and b) could result in someone’s death or serious injury, only circumstances and fate dictated that Lee Hughes killed someone and the brick going through the coach window didn’t.
Lee Hughes dancing in front of supporters in a wind-up t-shirt alone does not potentially result in loss of life or serious injury.
That to me is why nobody does Tuesday’s incident, or series of incidents, justice by dedicating most of their criticisms and posts to Lee Hughes.
I think many people’s points are over-lapping if not 100% aligned but if we don’t agree entirely it’s not because you’re right and others are wrong, just a difference of opinion.
Report abuse
There is no way I or anybody else can condone the violence that happened last night but you would think that Mr Hughes would have learnt a little humility after what he has been through. Obviously not. Reinforcing the argument that he should have been banned for life in the first place. We do not need these sort of people in the game on or off the pitch. Lets see if the football league comes up with a just punishment for this arrogant yob. Any Wolves fans identified as involved in the aftermath should be banned for life as well.

After reading all the comments made about the trouble that was after the game last night really makes me angry and some poor lady who paid for her night at the wolves to watch her team and support her team get injured for no apparent reason just because Lee Hughes wore a t-shirt with boing boing on it? Get a grip I also heard that a flare was also thrown at a notts county player at the corner flag… They should ban those fans who threw it, its just as dangerous as the brick throwing. Lee Hughes made a mistake in his life a few years ago he paid for it by going to prison and serving his time, everybody makes mistakes thats life!!! I think he knew just how the wolves fans were going to be when he stepped foot on the pitch, shouting murderer for 90mins,I think the quote for that is “what goes around comes around” …….

Lee hughes got alot of stick from wolves fans throughout the game. the wolves crowd felt the need to shout and sing abuse at him for the whole time he was on the field. you cannot blame him foe the violence that was casued after the game. mindless pathetic thugs are what caused the agro. how anyone can get any sort of ”enjoyment” from pelting supporters busses carrying families is way beyond me and those people dont deserve to call themselves supporters. whatever lee hughes did he has paid for and will continue to pay for it every single day of his life.

Just one comment. What might have happened if Wolves had LOST ?
Report abuse
Yes, it’s reopened!
Okay, to recap…
Hughes is a scumbag for doing what he did. Regardless of what some fans (who, it should be noted, are scumbags too) were chanting, he, arguably more than any other footballer in the entire League, has a moral obligation to show the game of football the utmost respect and humility whenever he is on the pitch, through his actions and his words, and on Tuesday he manifestly failed to do that, favouring instead to execute a qualitatively idiotic, plainly inflammatory dig at the home fans.
The flipside of this coin is that the fans who attacked the coaches (who are also scumbags) will have done so not out of a sense of righteous outrage at Hughes flouting his moral obligations as a football player and a 34-year-old man who should know better, but because he waved a West Bromwich Albion catchphrase at them. Either way, they’re cretins.
The bottom line: nobody comes out of this with any credit at all, and once again football, on pitch and off, is made to look like it is almost entirely populated by grade A wazzocks.

This was taken as he was being substituted, just before he left the pitch. Of course, he knew that removing his shirt was another opportunity to rile the home fans (in a different stand, who may not have seen the slogan when he first revealed it). This is why the FA should deal with the cretin.

Wolves fans subjected Hughes to chants about his girlfriend, vile abuse towards a woman they knew nothing about. What was the excuse then? The incident hadn’t occured then, so it was purely because he is an Albion fan.
The stuff on Tuesday night wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t an Albion fan, i’d wager if Lee Hughes was just another player who had been to prison it wouldn’t have entered into your tiny minds to drag it up.
His celebration was an outpouring that stems from the abuse towards his innocent girlfriend 10 years ago that was vile and uncalled for, it was also because of the abuse he no doubt took all game for being a “murderer”, which he isn’t.
Wolves fans don’t like it being given back to them, the scenes outside of the ground on Tuesday confirm this, as does the scenes that followed our FA Cup victory which ended in Wolves fans trashing their own town because they couldn’t get to Albion fans to dish out their own “revenge”.
There is a problem at Wolves, one that has been wiped out at most clubs – anyone who has had to sit in the Steve Bull lower and run the gauntlet across the ring road will confirm this.

How can this story possibly have a thread of comments this long!?
This is very simple. Lee Hughes has nothing to do with this. He didn’t attack the coaches. Some fools from Wolverhampton did. If they are indeed Wolves supporters, they need to be banned from Molineux and grow up. They went out with intent to cause damage, and unless they are REALLY thick, they would have known there was a good chance someone would be injured.
If the Wolves fans can’t take a bit of banter from a player they abuse all game, then they shouldn’t be abusing him. What Lee Hughes did is no excuse for what happened after – none whatsoever, the NCFC fans did NOTHING wrong.
I am now a very ashamed Wolves fan. Who gives a sh*t about Hughes? – the point is some Yobbish idiots attacked the coaches of travelling fans. That should be the issue. Not Hughes.

I am concerned that there are Albion fans posting on here who appear to be condoning Hughes behaviour. When he put that undershirt on in the dressing room he knew exactly what he was doing and I’ll bet the Notts County players management all had a good giggle.
The FA, apparently, are to take no futher action. Typical !
I agree entirely with 107) This man should not even be playing football and Notts County, like Coventry City are not doing Football any favours by employing these convicted offenders.
As for the Wolves supporters (if they are) who attacked the coaches, you’re a disgrace to society, let alone Wolverhampton Wanderers, but no doubt your all proud of what you’ve done. I just hope you are caught on CCTV.
Aplogies to the County fans on those coaches.

So a minority of Wolves fans response to a bit of football banter is to throw bricks at old ladies and kids on a coach. If you can’t take the banter don’t dish it out. There was nothing offensive about Lee Hughes tee-shirt. Who wouldn’t be chuffed to score aganist their team’s local rivals. If any of you Wolves fans out there ever scored against Albion would revaling a Wolves shirt underneath cause Albion fans to attack innocent old folks ? I think not. Well done to the majority of Wolves fans on here who have this in perspective and shame on those who seem to think that Lee Hughes’ behaviour in some way excuses the actions of the morons.

You’re still missing my point, or at least deliberately circumnavigating it, about the constant responsibility Hughes has to football and his apparent flexibility when it comes to honouring it. You can’t claim to be a changed, better, more mature person for 30 days of a month and then act like a spanner-headed inflammatory pillock on the other day. Compassion and humility don’t take days off.
The bottom line is, what Hughes inadvertantly started, an idiotic minority of Wolves fans emphatically finished, and they should all be ashamed. What worries me is that I suspect neither party will be, they’ll just use the reprehensible conduct of the other party as an excuse.

Most football clubs still have a small hooligan cultures or group, it’s something which will never go away. Wolves still have hooligan issues which need to addressed however, as there still is quite a strong, aggressive, hooligan element at the club, larger than a lot of other clubs, in fact a lot of Wolves fans seem to think it’s good that we have quite an infamous “crew” or whatever you want ot call them.
The whole “Wolves Ay We?” brigade and the “Wolves youth” in their silly caps and designer clothes need to sort themselves out! Hughes is an idiot etc etc but the scrotes who were chanting stuff about his missus and family are just as bad as him. Wolves haven’t got the best reputation amongst away fans and this will just make it worse. Granted, maybe his punishment for killing someone wasn’t harsh enough, maybe we should blame the courts for that as you can only serve the sentence they give you, what else can the bloke do?
