I missed "shirtgate", as I was in the pub all yesterday afternoon, commemorating my mate's 23 year old kid brother, who passed away a year ago yesterday.
First I heard of it was when a rag mate came bounding in, all excited at having something to have a pop at me about! Now I was pretty pissed by this time, so you would think, prone to a little irrational thinking. I can however, honestly say, that my reaction to him was that if that was the best him & his fellow small minded toss-pots could throw at us, then they could bring it on, because its fucking pathetic & shows them for what they are - a bunch of hypocritical shitbags who like to give it out when others suffer tragedy, but run to the press whenever anyone has a dig at theirs! I'm not condoning either set of supporters in this by the way, just making a point!
Anyway, those on here who say they are passionate about City & this is why they felt the need to jump down Ade's throat are missing 2 points! One - as passionate as I am about City (and trust me, my mates get exasperated sometimes by the lengths I'll go to in order to defend them), my passion for my club is probably outweighed at the moment by the feelings running through Ade's mind, and anyone who can't see that is just choosing to be ignorant, in order to serve some perverse agenda which probably has more to do with their view of him as a player, than it does his choice of fashionwear (in my view)!
Secondly, they give wankers like my mate from last night & his bunch encouragement to have a go at OUR CLUB, therefore undoing whatever good it is they think they're doing in support of the club anyway!
Seeing as I had to tell my mate last night that I thought he was a pathetic wanker for so gleefully trampling on another man's grief in order to score cheap points, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say the same for those I've read on here who've come out with similar fucking nonsense!
I don't expect anyone to apologise by the way, I don't care & its nothing to do with me, but I do think you're wankers!
