model pro for us but why was he giving up his shirt to the fans especially after such an abject performance by the team? How long left is his contract or has he been offered a new one,,?

He might have been asked but its a nice gesture regardless that no doubt would have made that girls day. It's nice that someone in Brunt's position can see that. Anyone can bask in the fans when its all going great, it takes some guts to face up to them and appreciate the support when its not going well. Although I doubt anyone in the squad will be doing that in the forseeable future now

If he'd walked straight off with everyone else there'd no doubt be moaning about that. Can't win sometimes.

Agreed, if anything it's his own fault for going that close to the supporters. What an absolute d1ck trying to give his shirt to a young supporter. Just a shame the coin didn't bounce off the young kids head first and then hit Brunt to teach them both a lesson. Hopefully the club tear his contract up after this regardless of how long is left. As you say yourself it's understandable why this has happened. What did he expect? To go over to our fans and not get a coin in the eye? Naive if so.

On a serious note I'd love to see him cheered on during the warm up, his name cheered again when teams are read out and then his name sung for the first few mins of the game next week.

Unbelievable! Players get criticised all the time for not caring about the fans and running down the tunnel as soon as the full time whistle blows. The treatment of Brunt was a disgrace and has been on previous occasions, some of our fans need to have a good hard look at themselves before having a go at others.

[Jordie1471]

Would be awesome if a Chris Brunt appreciation theme was our theme for the last away day of the season. Show him we are not like that cowardly scumbag.

so you don't know what's left on contract as again it was an odd thing to do after poor performance

[TheJacko2000]

Not remotely odd. He's not out of contract this summer so I don't know what you're getting at with some increasingly questionable posts on the subject.

I'm beginning to think that you must know the person who threw the coin. Surely you cannot seriously believe the club gives out contracts based on who gives away their shirt as is your implication (and Brunt's here till at least the end of 2017 anyway).

[wardy65]

It's a poor show by whoever threw that coin. Brunty's played over 300 games for the club, & whatever anyone thinks of him, he's been a model pro for us!
He'll get my vocal backing next week, providing he wants to play for us again!

[LongBridge Baggie1]

I don't enjoy Pulis's style of football, but, that's just disgusting. A sad day to be a fan Hope the police do the "fan" who did this for assault and then the club hands down a life time ban

[leeiswba]

What a disgrace, never been ashamed to be an Albion fan but that makes it close. I left when they scored the third so didn't see it but please tell me the bloke who threw it took a pasting?? W*anker

[M666EYS]

Disgusting. Deserves a good slap.

Great servant to the club and gets treated like this. Unbelievable.

[paulosull]

usually after a questionable performance by our players they can't wait to get of pitch and clap by half way line. The way brunt went up to fans seemed to suggest that this could be his last game for us in cup

Or maybe he felt bad because he knew players had let fans down.

missing my point that was odd of the player doing that after exit from cup as if that would be his last game for us in that competition.

[paulosull]

Or maybe he felt bad because he knew players had let fans down.

they should be used to that by now especially with pulis in charge

[cads_ap_albion]

His interview was very classy.  Lot of respect to him.

[M666EYS]

Brunt has been a great servant to this club, i am ashamed at this minute to think one of our own has been treated in this way.

What is happening to us? The club i love is folding before me.

[kris_boing]

One of my favourite players us Brunty. Disgusting what's happened to him today. Sad day.

[OldburyWBA]

I think its common knowledge i've never been his biggest fan but am disgusted that any Albion "fan" stoops this low, makes you sick to be honest.

Unfortunately over the years we have had a few dickheads but none have  ever resorted to this as far I can remember.

[spencer Baggie]

Shocking what happened to him today. He has been a good servant to the club.

That said, his time at the club is at an end. Needs to be moved on.

[gazberg]

Not a fan of Brunt but for this to happen to him was appalling. Disgraceful behaviour.

Pics being posted on facebook showing a lad in cap and yellow jacket saying he was the fan who threw it and asking people to share.

Anyone at the game confirm it was him?

Its made the rounds as my mate from scotland sent me the picture
Doesnt look older than 18/19


A dark day in our clubs history indeed
Ashamed to be a baggie

Very well put. I'm no CB fan but you know he actually cares which is why he was over near our fans, unlike some of the other players.
As for the guy that did it I hope he gets what he deserves but it's an isolated incident and should be treated as such, far greater is the issue of the terrible poisonous atmosphere that surrounds the club and will take us back to where we used to be if were not carefull

[Hunnington Baggie]

I think it'll go the other way, he'll stay, retire and become a member of the coaching staff here. He's had his coaching badges for years now so he can join the staff when ever he wants.

[KingKoren]

Christ Brunt should be a allowed to fire balls at the perpetrator with his thunderbolt of a left peg.
