City coach attacked?

[pete1970]

Total fucking scum
Each and everyone
Braindead from the word,go
Mastermind contenders,not
Sportsmen? Ha thats a laugh
They belong swinging in the trees
Fuck the lit of the moronic little cunts

 

[Ducado]

Bet they regret standing outside the granny shaggers house now!

Ha Ha, I bet they would offer to help him pack

 

[law74]

That sounds like a pre-arranged hooligan meet to me.

The thought crossed my mind as well, and with the GMP supposedly watching the bar all day, if I had been involved I wouldn't be booking a trip to France for next June

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Was it parked in front of our goal?

sniff

 

[Wilmslow Road]

Ever cross your mind that GMP allowed it to happen ?

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Is this the Albert in Moss Side?

Have to say, I thought it was the tamest derby I've ever attended at their place and I don't just mean on the pitch either. We were drinking in the Bierkeller beforehand and jumped a taxi with less than 40 minutes to kick off. Because of the traffic on Deansgate we didn't arrive at the away turnstiles until about 10 minutes to kick off. Normally the rent-a-mob are in full cry outside the away end at that point but it wasn't anywhere near as heated as in previous years - maybe the main body of their lot had moved on or the police had finally gotten a grip of matters. The atmosphere inside was the quietest I can ever remember - in both home and away ends. Afterwards, I walked straight back into town, had a scoop in the Tib St Tavern, another in the Piccadilly Tap, and finished it off as we'd started - with a Jaegerbomb - in the station bar before getting the train home.

from the comfort of my armchair all you could hear was the city fans all game

 

[noely]

I must have just left the albert before it happened as I moved onto the friendship bit surprised as there were police outside as I left

How would they know how to pack? Have you seen the state of the tramps?

 

[bluebrother55]

Any casualties at the pub ?

GMP allow disorder on the streets to gain evidence to prosecute hooligans?
Certainly sounds like it

If two set's want to meet somewhere, waste ground, Industrial Estate and have it off away from joe public fair enough.
But as posters have said there were Police outside The Albert before and after the game.
There were people inside who live in the area and have no connection with City.
People having a drink before a meal on Curry Mile.
For GMP to allow a mob of 30/40 to get there unnoticed is beyond comprehension.
City regularly meet there before Swamp derby's and 3 coaches went from there.
Straight into the car park, there and back no bother.
Women and Children on them.
GMP have a record for dispersing City fans whilst allowing the Rags to wander freely.
I would guess that we will see The Albert being told to close on the next Swamp Derby.

Are you genuinely serious now, implying GMP favours Rags over Blues?

I wasn't at The Albert so I can't comment but if you are serious about this get your complaints in at the Independent Police Complaints Comission and let's hold GMP accountable for their actions... as we all know if we step out of line they're the first to let us know.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

So what did happen at the Albert?

Only if they have private health insurance. I don't see why an already underfunded and stretched NHS should treat them when they've brought it all on themselves.

Haha

It's always been that way.

There were a few lads banned recently for having the audacity to try and defend themselves in a pub that was rushed by a mob of United. Pretty sure there was only 3 of them in there at the time.

Sound more like they let it happen in order to help their overtime for the month.

Spot on with that post mate.

We only sang a bit at the start and a bit from about the 70th minute and then at the final whistle. Hardly heard their fans. Quietest derby i can remember. Poor from both sets of fans.

Or to keep themselves in a job. During reviews by GMP they were looking at getting rid of the FIOs as basically they do very little when it's not match day/season...

So how better to justify your position than there being a large kick off on derby day...work for you on the day and then investigation afterwards...

thats a shame. I think its a problem throughout the divisions to be honest. ticket prices, aging fan bases are killing the atmospheres
