Certain things won't be understood by the ignorant

We saw that last night no need to emphasis it.

I know a lady who will not go to our home games in this competition after being caught up in a melee involving city fans and away supporters who had been allocated tickets slap bang in the middle of 105. This at previous champions league games. She wrote into to the club to complain And did not even get a response.

Fast forward to last night, in exactly the same block, you have exactly the same situation. It is indefensible and The club cannot say they do not know about this problem.

I would like to ask the club what exactly the role of the steward is in maintaining supporters safety/what the stewards are being briefed about before games like this. Is sitting there hands in pockets allowing away fans to stand up in the home end, arms out, bellowing out songs acceptable? According to our stewards, it is.

I sit in 105 and it's the same every CL game. Obviously depending on the fans they can be sound or ****s. But it feels like it's always on the verge of kicking off all game somewhere around us as someone is always acting like a prick and goading the City fans over something.

I emailed the club about it and they said (they rang me) there's nowt they could do about it as the tickets are given out by UEFA. They didn't seem to care.

Would it be easier to understand if I was an IRA loving English hating bigot?

Agreed.
Loved it up in Glasgow, had a great time in the city & at the ground. Used to live in Dublin and always found Celtic fans there were mostly sound.
But not impressed with all the rebel songs last night.

We had our city bombed twice by the IRA. If Celtic fans think it's OK to sing about the good old RA boys when in Manchester and put it down to being proud of your culture etc then your deceiving yourselves.
If we play you again down here pls just bring the great atmosphere from the 1st leg and leave the other shit for when you're playing your orange pals

Is the second one Warrington?
The Rebs cause constant debate among our own fans too. Lots want them gone altogether from football, should be kept for supporters buses or friendly pubs. Lots think we've always sang them why should we stop.
Regarding last night I did mention to my brother that we seemed to be airing more than usual. Given it was Manchester and the history you e mentioned I was quite uneasy about that.

P.C. and me don't go that well, but if he make's me the right offer I'm his man.

Go for it, they could do worse :-)

 

[Tim1980]

Are you serious?

Yeah, which songs were anti English? And don't just say IRA songs. Despite your use of certain terms you seem Like you know what you're on about more than others on here

 

[Tim1980]

Made even worse by the IRA's previous antics in Manchester. Those c**ts knew exactly what they were singing.

thet get sang at every match and they would have been sang at the game in Glasgow too. Don't get me wrong I get your annoyance and anger

Not Warrington. Manchester bombing in 1992, then the big one in 1996

I could certainly smarten Steptoe up to the thinking of the working class guy,doubt he'd listen though.

 

[Tim1980]

Tim, is you name Tim?

Or is this another none religious thing that really is religious.

I think you are trying to to defend the indefensible...................Manchester City was, is and always will be a welcoming secular club to all and disrespect and intolerence is not tolerated which is pretty much the problem last night.

Your fans were disrespectful, probably not surprising considering allegiences a large minority of you have.

Best you tootle off to some other forum because your not really welcome here.

They're songs. Words. As distasteful as you may find them.
And seriously? Get off your high horse. I've been to Manchester derbies at both old Trafford and the etihad. I've seen the respect City fans show Munich.
