City’s Goldbridge

Embarrassing. Seriously, have a fucking word.


Look at him though. He’s what? 20? He wouldn’t have known what his dick was for when Mancini tore down that banner.

City fans have been famous for the self deprecating humour and sticking with the team when it was shite but nobbers like City Xtra haven’t the first fucking clue about supporting City. They’ve known nothing but success and like with United fans in the preceding 20-30 years, it’s making them insufferable arses.
 
It's only an instant reaction to a football Cup draw for City fans. Lighten up. When we drew Peterborough, I was googling them too. I thought they were Championship strugglers but I wasn't 100%. They've been up and down a few times with Darren Ferguson, and Barry Fry.

Football has become all about the Premier League in recent years. They're not on MOTD. They're not in the papers. There's no reason why any Manchester based city fan would know too much about Peterborough. it's a long time since we played them.
I was remembering the great day I had in Peterborough in 1981,also a 5th round tie, before our ball was pulled from the bag. You know Tommy Booth and all that ,
 
I actually like these two guys but I’m surprised at this clip. He’s shown himself up there. I hope he regrets it…a bit out of character from what I’ve seen.

I like Goldbridge too it’s like watching Alan Partridge and the fact that he slates United despite being a supporter is even better. He gives them a harder time than we do.

City Xtra will appeal to a different generation than a lot of BM posters but I’m down with the kids init?

At first I thought these channels were really good and marked a new way for fans to express themselves but I've begun to realise that it's just a way of making a bit of money out of football. I think it's a great skill though to be able to express yourself in front of a camera and react and speak on the spur of the moment.

Jay Motty, Mckola, Howson from Stretford Paddock are pretty good. I watch that when City have beaten Utd, or when OGS is sacked just to find out their take on it. I like that they can present a show without ranting. AFTV and most of the YouTube football shows seem to just be rant channels, and once you've watched a few times it gets boring. There's only a few times that you can listen to Troopz or the Flying Pig lose it online.

I know. Just about. But this guy is young. It's an alternative to BlueMoon topic on the draw. It's not meant to be serious. It's for a laugh.
 
He’s not catering for Peterborough fans though is he so who gives a shit if he’s nice to them or not? This doesn’t affect Pep or the players. Everyone calls other teams shit get a grip
It's not just City fans who will see this though is it? That's not how I want our fan base to be represented. He is acting the same way United's fans did towards us when we were shit. Would like to think we had more class than that.
 
Yep.

Complains about others getting arsed about this, but can't see the irony of spending close to a third of his total posts on this forum on this particular thread getting the arse about other people getting the arse...
Oh no! Anyway
 
As a neatly 60 year old City fan support going back to the 1960s I like these lads and find some reactions on here a bit precious. They shoot from the hip and get stuff wrong sometimes. Their Ronaldo evening was cringe in the extreme. But like the kids down the pub, you see them be gobby but passionate, wish they would reign it in at times then smile knowingly and remember we were once that gobby kid ourselves.
I do think we lack a high quality YouTube channel. Esteemed Company is doing ok but still feels low -fi instead of hifi compared to other clubs offerings.
Surprised the club haven't given a bunk up to some platform.

Because everyone is trying to make money out of City. They want people on their sites.

Digiital / web team could try and imitate but people don't watch official stuff so much.
 
My take on this is the same as with Goldbridge. If people are stupid enough to pay him then what's the problem with him doing it ?
He may or may not know where Peterborough is, he could be making it all up like Goldbridge does and as long as Goldbridge or this lad keep making a living off numpties they will keep doing it. Fair play to them
 
Have we concluded that he is extremely erudite, intelligent, playing to a niche discerning section, entrepreneurial and well informed yet?

Or what is blindingly obvious?
Just posted the same but not as well as you.
Goldbridge is making a good living out of shouting at a screen. He's only doing what they do on gogglebox and millions tune in !!!!!

I hope they've made a killing in the last 24 hours from the 'controversy'. They deserve it for managing to rattle so many cages with such an innocuous clip.

You posted a v good point Blue Mist.
But where you see making money from gullible people as "fair play", I see it as exploitative. But - is the way of this shallow age I suppose. Making money is how everyone seems to be judged - no matter how.

I agree we should be encouraging younger fans and of course they are not going to be the same as us older fans in the way they talk and act but they are both passionate about City , which is great to see. We need the younger generation of fan coming through. I watch their channel after every match as I do with a few other City fan channels and theirs is very good. He probably went over the top with his references to Portsmouth but he is thinking on his feet and is bound to say stuff he doesn’t really mean. I wouldn’t get too pissed off with what he said to be honest.
