Shame the useless cunts in “fan support” aren’t as hasty to get rid of away fans in our seats

Man City THROW OUT a stadium bar staff worker after he turned up for his shift wearing a Man United shirt on derby day
Man City THROW OUT a stadium bar staff worker after he turned up for his shift wearing a Man United shirt on derby day
By GETHIN HICKS, TRAINEE REPORTERPUBLISHED: 17:34, 14 September 2025 | UPDATED: 18:59, 14 September
A bar worker at the Etihad Stadium has been sacked after turning up for his shift wearing a Manchester United shirt on derby day.
Officials at Manchester City were made aware of the worker's ridiculous choice of shirt by angered home supporters on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Taking a picture of the staff member, who was wearing a United away shirt from the 2018-19 season while pulling a pint, a City fan complained: 'Absolute joke @mancity - letting one of the bar staff in block 315 wear a United shirt on Derby Day #mcfc'
The complaint soon caught the attention of those in authority at the Etihad, who promptly removed the worker from his post.
Replying to the fan's earlier post, the club wrote: '@Mataniels @mancity Thank you for making us aware of this. We can confirm that this individual has now been removed from their position.'
The incident came before the beginning of this afternoon's Manchester derby, which started with a heartfelt tribute paid to Ricky Hatton.

Awaiting cries of racism and the Arabs trampling human rights / free speech. Hopefully something watertight in his terms of reference or it can legally be seen as behaviour likely to cause a breach of peace etc.Man City THROW OUT a stadium bar staff worker after he turned up for his shift wearing a Man United shirt on derby day

Agree. He probably just thought it was a bit of fun, but it could easily have led to something nasty. Pretty thick, but well, it's a united fan...

Uneasy about this. Yeah, he's an idiot for wearing it. Does he deserve to lose his job over? I don't think so.
Did he actually lose his job or does ‘removed from his position’ just mean he was given all the bin bags and asked to take them to the refuse store for the afternoon, rather than be FoH?
Let's be honest, he was being a dick. A very easy way to incite trouble in what is already a sensitive environment.
It's not a "joke" when all it takes is one pissed up/coked up blue to take offence and do something stupid.
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there looking for work who would happily turn up, do a shift, go home and take the pay without being a smart arse or taking part in "bantz" they can tell their mates about on Facebook.

Or they could shove him in the away bit.
He'll work for an agency or the concession holders so he won't have "lost his job".

I dunno tbh. I'm going off the Daily Mail article above. Probably my first mistake.
The only thing I disagree about is the losing his job part. A warning would do.
There may well be a dress code he broke. If it's in the rules he'll deserve all he gets.
Though I think there are plenty complaining about it who'd be calling him a top bloke if it were a City fan at the swamp.

Should of been filled in on site.
Course he does, it's fucking stupid.
Not only that, his Supervisor and Bar Manager should be questioned too.
You wouldn't turn up at Sainsbury's for a shift in a Tesco outfit would you.
Complete lack of professionalism and likely to cause aggro.
I think if he really cared about the job he would have worn something different.

Sainsbury’s is one thing but if Tesco turn up at Asda in Tesco kit, all bets are off. Even the dibble would be scared to intervene
