My sister is a rag, i've watched quite a few games with her down the years, she seemed to deride absolutely no pleasure from them winning, just a sense of relief when they won. I used to laugh at her for it. She, without malice or raggish ****ness said that it was ok for me, I expected City to lose and if we won it was a bonus that cheered me up, she expected the rags to win, so when they lost she was devastated. I sort of understand this a lot more these days, defeats certainly seem to hurt more than they used to, its the expectation that leads to the disappointment and people quick to anger if its not going right, I understand people losing their shit, whilst the game is on and afterwards.
What I dont get is the ****s who just slag everything off before a ball is kicked and have a complete downer on the club, the wankers who go to games just to vent and slag off players when they've done nothing wrong. I dont understand them, I never will, its not my place to say we should do without them, but if I was in charge of the world, they wouldnt get within a mile of the stadium and would be permabanned on here
