City Matters thread

[jrb]

I think it should be named after a player who's given us many years of service and great entertainment, who'll be talked about for many years after he's kicked his last ball.

The Phil Jones Stand.

There's 2 problems with that.
1. The stand would look ugly.
2. It would be facing the wrong way.

Strangely enough seeing as I played it myself when it was frowned on, in the 40s and 50s, it’s not really for me either apart from the odd match

I suppose if I was a psychiatrist I would argue it’s jealousy!! :-) I prefer to think envy.

However I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Steph Houghton who has overcome a lot injury wise plus with her husband being ill. She’s a fighter and a grafter.

I only heard that the other week during the Kevin Sinfield documentary that she’s married to Stephen Darby.

It must be almost unimaginably difficult caring for someone with that condition. But doing it whilst still being a full time sportsperson yourself seems virtually impossible.

Don’t really know much about her, other than I’d heard the name but she must be some woman.

There's something called email. I used to get a lot of it on my CM account. You should try it sometimes. It saves a fortune on stamps.

You're a boring, negative, whining bastard. Try to post something constructive for a change.

I have this vision of you sitting in your armchair, by your net-curtained window, looking out and saying to no one in particular "They've got a new car at number 35. Only had the last one a year. Look at her at number 27. Who does she think she is? Mutton dressed as lamb. Them kids at number 36 are getting out of hand. Mark my words; they'll be in Strangeways by the time they're 18. TV's shit these days. Was much better when there was only two channels."

Awww bless …. nice that you get all offensive. But seriously is that supposed to be funny ??? Cant believe you went to the trouble of typing that nonsense for us to waste a minute reading with our toes curled

The problem with City Matters is that it’s populated ( or was populated ) by senile old cunts like you. You don’t represent anybody I know that goes to the games or in fact anybody I know in 40 years watching City.

Ffs it wasn’t that long ago you were boycotting games at the Etihad or do you hope everybody forgets that ???? Still picking and choosing when you can be arsed going.

Last week you were telling us John Stones was match fixing. Haha fucking weirdo

PMSL. Did I upset you? Miserable whingeing fuckwit. Do something useful with your life instead of tut-tutting through your net curtains Norris.

I honestly didn’t. I just thought all the reps would be to do with the football side of the makeup of our support, have reps that represent the different groups in categories who can buy tickets and not be split down any social lines like Asian, black or LGB+. I just imagined the fans would just fall into the Season ticket holders, Matchday/Cityzens members, Supporters Club members, families, OAPs rep and disabled groups.

I don’t see any difference between me as a season ticket holder, a gay season ticket holder, an Asian season ticket holder or a straight mixed-race female season ticket holder. If we are all adults but younger than 66 I just imagined we’d all be the same; just season ticket holders who are City fans who all have the same interest in the club.

Not that I’m saying there shouldn’t be an LGB+ rep, I just never imagined there’d be a need for one.

The club did something similar with the seating blocks in the stands. They priced tiered the blocks, so if you were sat ‘1 row’ in front of someone you knew and talked to, you’d be paying more than they would be for that very minor privilege.

As you say, at the end of the day we’re all City fans. There’s no need to divide us up by our age, sex, ethnicity, race, gender, teams we support, etc.

WTF happened on here, I think Tim of the Oak posted this in a light hearted manner which was humorous.
WW3 erupts, sounds like a right load of nonsense who even cares about the woman in the first place. Completely irrelevant, Bayern Munich away! 3-0 up first leg see you all in Munich! more relevant :P

Maybe some sort of metric needs to be introduced to this process. Something that validates the merits of someone’s ‘Top Blue’ credentials. Someone whose City knowledge is both comprehensive and impressive. A Massive Blue.

Modesty prevents me from nominating the most suitable candidate…

Tbf she did say 'massive'

GDM is more ‘cuddly’

I wouldn't know the need for a LGBT rep or rep based on ethnicity, or disability because I’m a white heterosexual, middle aged man and wouldn’t know the problems or issues faced by those groups at football grounds and wouldn’t want to claim to speak for those groups and whether they need reps that understand their issues.
If they believe they do then they should be represented by those that do understand any issues from experience then it’s good that they are.It’s not dividing us it’s ensuring we can all get the same enjoyment from going to games.

If you haven’t heard homophobic chanting at football then you’re profoundly deaf.
