Absolute Joke In Block 315 Bar | City sack employee for wearing United shirt

Ian said:
Reminds me of the time I did some work at United training ground in the 90’s. It was common knowledge that Uniteds coach driver was a Blue, and had a City badge clipped to his tie, but kept it covered under his jacket.

I knew a young lad back in the day, who played in the rag's youth team, alongside Beckham, Giggs, Scholes etc. (A very promising player apparently) but he was and still is, a HUGE Blue.

He kept turning up for training in City shirts. The Pisscan himself saw him a couple of times, and Brian Kidd was told to warn him if he kept doing it, he'd be let go.

He turned up two weeks later with City badge tattooed over his heart ... Bye!
 
If the club had a policy of only employing City fans, we'd have a very weak squad and very little money.

I can't believe anyone would be surprised that rags wouldn't have jobs at City, I know of one or two in the ticket office. There are City fans working at the swamp, and their last club secretary was a die hard Scouser.

Wearing a rag shirt at work on derby day is just to be expected. I'd be wearing a City shirt every day if I worked at the swamp.

Would you rock up with it showing though? A bit silly, if so.

On par with working at Maccies and wearing a Burger King shirt.

Yeah it’s to be expected opposition fans for other clubs.
I know that at Maine road in the early 2000’s in the ground keepers area they had a Leeds calendar up.

However, on derby day in a customer facing job, especially a job serving alcohol this is not acceptable.

And you could wear a city shirt if you worked at the swamp, but you would probably be sacked as it’s not professional and it’s not respectful to your employers.
 
Back in the 70s when still at school I got a job as a steward at OT for the test match v the West Indies (Clive Lloyd era).

As it were Manchester, pissed it down for the first 3 days so I spent my time in the beer tent where me mate was behind the bar.

On day 4 there was a massive commotion as the rain stopped and all of the toffs who were trying to get into my stand were blocked by half of Moss Side who had made it their own.

I took one look and went back to the beer tent. Was told not to come back the next day but still great memories !
 
It's a bit sly for a grown man to take photos of some teenager pulling pints, probably on a zero hours contract, earning minimum wage, then run away onto twitter to post it. On the day when most people were going on there to read about the sad passing of Ricky Hatton.

I would have had more respect for him if he'd asked the lad to close his jacket and then shut the fuck up.

But that's the way the world is. The Karen's are taking over.

It was extremely naive/stupid (you choose) to do what he did. He was extremely lucky that some pissed up/coked up blue didn't peg a pint of beer over him. Would that have been justified? No, it wouldn't. But we have hotheads in our fanbase who wouldn't think twice about doing it.
