No worries.Maybe I didn't realise it was a sarcastic remark, but somet close to home like that and the red mist comes out .I was 17 year old when a A British submarine Artemis sank along side at a Submarine base 3 sailors were eventualy rescued after 14 hours I dived in and dragged a lad out of a swimming pool 2 years ago he still in a semi coma with brain damage. I re read your post and no you don't condone or agree with it . I was a bit quick of the mark ,apologies pal
Cheers .Will have to suss out this sarcasim lark lol.I have been on many submarines but never went to sea on one .I aplyed to join the Submarine fleet when I was 17 but my commander thought I was to young .3 month later at 17 years and 6 month . I was in Singapore in1971 .Never aplyed again as was having the time of my life .No worries.
Funnily enough I've actually thought about the conditions inside a submarine that the sailors have to endure and how it would feel to be inside a tube of metal a mile under the sea. I personally have claustrophobic tendencies and it is something I could never endure. I have the utmost respect for the bravery of the men that sail in them.
100% agreed Marv. I feel like on this topic everyone is just taking tribal positions out of defensiveness.
Battered in the streets refers to violence, so it's deliberately ambiguous about Sean Cox.
Victims of it all is a reference to "always the victims" which we all know they will take as a reference to Hillsborough.
We could easily change it and they'd still be upset about us singing that tune. I don't expect it to happen though given the context: it's just turned into a black and white argument.
Is that a five year banIn memory of the 35th anniversary of the Heysrl tragedy puma will be creating a black & white city kit for our last season in the champs league before a ban.
See how the fckers like that!
You're not the first to say it, but he wasn't stabbed, hit with something and ended up in a coma, but it wasn't in kiev which is what the song is about.if the song was directed at the unfortunate Mr. Cox , surely we would have sung "stabbings on the street"
I thought we’d had indisputable evidence from a City fan on here that we were all singing about HillsboroughYou're not the first to say it, but he wasn't stabbed, hit with something and ended up in a coma, but it wasn't in kiev which is what the song is about.
Can't say I've ever sung it tbh, as I prefer songs we didn't nick from other clubs, but I might join in on Saturday now :)I thought we’d had indisputable evidence from a City fan on here that we were all singing about Hillsborough
Panto season already.
Liverpool are behind you.
No it's not. It's about them getting attacked by masked Kiev locals.
My point is that it's open to that interpretation and it's celebrating violence.
I don't want anyone to get me wrong here: this is a storm in a teacup and the level of media coverage was not proportionate. I think it's ridiculous.
At the same time I can still think it's a bad look for city fans.

Including the dippers, who didn't complain about it in January when they lost on their visit, strange we didn't hear a dickie bird then, when they were still top.There is no ambiguity to the song lyrics at all. All of the lyrics relate to the CL final hence the reference to Kiev and Ramos injuring Salah. But then everyone who’s been to the Etihad the past season already knows this.

The only reason its come up now is because they are shit losers, and want any excuse to taint what City did.
As I said earlier, don't think I've sung it before, as I didn't much like it being nicked from another team, but I will on Saturday now.

Haha.I think the song is in very bad taste and attempts to say “well it’s just about a local brawl in Kiev” are at best pedantic and at worst totally missing the point.
City’s response has equally been less than impressive.
I'll happily join in with that too.As a suggestion. Why don’t we go back to the song we used to have about searching in the gutter for something to eat and finding a dead cat and thinking it’s a treat.
