The internet can be a wonderful tool for communication, but its ease of use can sometimes make us say or do things before we have time to consider the consequences. A bit like posting a comment on a football forum that you may later regret...
It may have been a foolish mistake but don't underestimate the damage she has done to the reputation of our club. There is quite a divide opening up amongst us fans between the traditional fanbase and some of our new supporters. What she has done is fuel that split and given more ammunition to those who hate us. God knows we have enough enemies out there already. Personally I am sick of being treated with contempt by some of the people earning a good living from City.
She has done absolutely no damage at all to the reputation of our club. None. Not even a bit. Nada. Zilch.
We're a nouveau riche club owned by a Middle Eastern Muslim Prince whose family fortune is built on oil and a horrific human rights records. Added to this, we've paid over the odds for average players and had the highest wage bill in the history of ANY sport let alone football and despite this needed epic collapses from both Man United and Liverpool to win our titles whilst failing the financial tests put in front of us by UEFA despite several inflated and/or dodgy deals designed to get around it. Our stadium is often deathly quiet and on some Champions League nights limping over three quarters full attendance despite a billion pound investment. Oh and on our most popular internet fansite we had to move a thread because our fans were calling a player for our Women's Team a slut, a whore and suggesting that she either be sacked and/or raped for posting a photo.
Let's just say that this whole "impressing other fans" ship sailed long ago.
This woman took a picture with a coach and put it on Twitter in an incident that will be forgotten about in about three days time and probably never mentioned or thought about by 99% of people in the discussion ever again.
One of the most laughable threads in Bluemoon history in terms of some of the posts and the general reaction. You people need to get a life, preferably one where any interaction with women is heavily monitored by a neutral party.
Well said.The overreaction I have seen on here and twitter is staggering . A mistake, bad judgement of course but my god some of the vile drivel.
