Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[andyhinch]

I’m sorry @andyhinch but I just burst out laughing there. You really must become a true supporter in the next 50 years. :-)

I might still go tomorrow, then :-)

It's different being a City supporter. Castigated when not good. Castigated when good. It just makes us stronger.

 

[Lavinda Past]

If you mean at CM they never publish the flipping minutes!! Apologies if you mean BM. :-)

No... the OSC minutes.

Please try to keep up EB... we'll probably have another batch of acronyms coming along (without minutes) soon!

;-)

It’s character building being a City supporter. You can cope with anything life throws at you! ;-) :/)

 

[Lavinda Past]

Well you've inspired my. Just popped on the website to find my nearest branch. The link from the map pin doesn't work, so I've googled them. From their home page, the contact tab comes up with ' page not found'. I'll pop along to the next meeting, which according to them is 8th January 2020.
They don't seem very welcoming, tbh.

Ouch!

 

[johnnytapia]

Don’t think it’s quite as simple as that tbf. There are a lot of die-hard City fans still genuinely annoyed by Guardiola’s comments.

Ric. This forum has become toxic.

Whoops… it’s because it’s way past my bedtime… I know because my Fitbit has suddenly started telling me at around 10.10 every evening ‘It is time to rest now’…. WHY?

It made me strong mentally.

For years and years the only good thing about supporting city was the fans.

Now we have the trophies to pay us back for the years of bullshit and disopointment. Plus a bright future tobl look forward to.

Just saying we shouldn't let some catalan quasi demi god tell us what is what. In a year or two he will be gone and i reckon Ill actually be quite pleased when he is.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I’ve never been in the OSC and never will be.

There’s enough freeloaders in the OSC already mate!!

I’ve heard that ;-)

I’m almost certain they did, but it’s naive to think that Simon Heggie would say to Pep “this is what you need to say” and that he’d go along with it. Guardiola was extremely bullish today and was always going to say what he wanted, not what the PR dept wanted.

How soft and pathetic some City fans have become. Don't talk about attendances because Utd fans might snigger never mind that Pep had an actual point for the benefit of the players he's coaching.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

I respect your choice not to Andy.

What I'm saying is that it seems rather hypocritical for anyone to claim to be a supporter of a club when not being a member (or in some cases being unaware) of the official supporters club.

It's the basic difference between supporters and fans.

The more you have repeated this view, the more ridiculous it has sounded. I think going to matches and you know, supporting the team, should be more than enough for someone to be considered a supporter. To suggest otherwise is absurd. There’s lots of ways to support the club and be a supporter that are perfectly valid but no way being a member of the OSC trumps attending matches imo.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Normally agree with your posts pal but I couldn’t disagree more with this one.

Supporter / fan / follower call it what you will - they’re all the same. The only criterion needed to be a blue imo is whether you get that little surge of adrenaline when you hear the result and we’ve won. Simple as that - if you feel that you’re a blue if you don’t you’re probably not

I appreciate what you say and yes, you'rerightto a greatextent.
What I'm getting at is being closer to the club and actually having a chance to influence things via the OSC rather than just blustering on here or twatter etc
Don't lose faith in me pal, I'm just sticking up for KP and the OSC when he's getting shit for being honest.

 

[Corky]

A single local branch of any club is only as good as it's members.
The simple fact that the football club has worked with the OSC for so many years tells me that it works well for all involved

If it is the same person at the Club and the OSC they will work together, which it was.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Some people who were desperate for Pep to apologize need to think how weak it would have looked and how it would have actually fed even more into the media’s narrative

Did anyone wants Pep to apologise?

 

[Eccles Blue]

There’s enough freeloaders in the OSC already mate!!

Ooooohhhhh can I become a freeloader? What will I get? A meeting with Richard Dunne or Pablo Zabaleta or even Micah Richards?

What nonsense. The team don’t need any crowd help to beat Southampton.

Danny Mills lives closest to our Branch and he isn’t welcome at a meeting lol

 

[urban genie]

No, it's an honest question.

We all claim to be supporters, 100% behind the club, dyed in the wool Blues, happy clappers, moaners, fight to the end fans, season card holders, Cityzens, etc, but how many are actually members of the OSC?

Shouldn't OSC membership be a minimum expectation for all if us? It's the only officially recognised club for City fans. It's something that fans used to join at the first opportunity when I was a lad.

It's genuinely being a PART OF THE CLUB. An opportunity to actually contribute towards the club, share views and experiences face to face with fellow members and create a positive environment in which to spread the word.

If you're a true Blue, you should be in the OSC.

Must tell the 10-12 blues I have been meeting up with and going to games the last 30 years they ain't proper blues as none are in a supporters club and only one was brielfy to get away tickets and travel.
