Colin Murray is a BALLBAG

[BlueMooney]

I quite like him.

 

[Bluemoonbaldboy]

Always liked him myself. Was great on Radio 1, enjoy Fighting Talk on Five Live when I catch it and don't see what's so wrong about him on MOTD2?

He's always been a big football fan.

Totally agree he aint all that bad on MOTD 2 and he does indeed love his football to requote a post I did on the non league topic

Chester Fc made their home debut in the Evostick North Division One last night thrashing Trafford 6-0! over 2700 attended thats more than some league two clubs got at the weekend! Special mention has to go to Colin Murray when it was clear Chester City were going under the CFU (City Fans United) were invited on his radio 5 show he joking said about setting up "the blue knights" to save Chester City. Fair play he never forgot and when the CFU reformed Chester Fc Colin said he would donate £2000 if Chester signed Perry Groves and Pat Nevin as unused subs for the rest of the season. He even did 10 mins on the turnstiles last night.

So at half time the contracts were signed Colin kept his word £2000 was given to the club and from what I'm told Nevin Groves and Murray even paid to get in last night fairytale ending with that 6-0 win and 3 happy new fans!

For me a good guy who at least is doing a job he is passionate about.

I like him, personally.

Im not offended as such, i guess im in a weird situation that i see both sides of it. What you are saying suggests that if you are not living in Manchester, you shouldnt follow City (though i accept perhaps what your saying is if youre not from Manchester you shouldnt support City).

I was being facetious trying to prove a point about if i could support a NI team...if im not from here, can i support them? But i live local so surely i can support them....

ergo, I'm a cocker-knee barrah boi who has moved to Manchester...can i support City now?

I just find it strange that City fans dont want more City fans




In fairness, NI football is woeful...thats reason enough to follow the Premiership... ;-)

City fans don't need City fans, certainly not of the glory hunting varierty from NI.

This is no exact science and you can support who you want but if you are not living there or from there then it is (in my view) kind of hollow just to arbitrarily pick a team to follow like Colin Murray has clearly done. Especially if the team is a succesful one (or would have been when little Colin was considering his options).

It would be like me suddenly deciding to be an Inter Milan fan. Where's the connection? There's no connection, no loyalty, no nothing it would be a toatlly hollow, unfulling and therefore ultimately pointless thing to do.

I do take another posters point though about peer pressure and that if you are from a 'footballing' shithole like NI then what are your choices if everyone else in your class is a red dipper or a rag.

It is difficult to say what i would do in a situation like that. Probably tell them all to f*ck off for being glory huntering tw*ts, wear my Donegal Rangers shirt with pride and go through school being very miserable, friendless and no doubt bullied just because of my principles.

Tough call I suppose, but i'm guessing living in a truly f*cked up third world place like NI day to day life is gunna be full of tough calls.

That said I bet there have been plenty (maybe you included) who have been the only City fan in your class at school but did it bother you or make you want to become a ManU fan? Did it f*ck.

Those rag bullies can go and munch on each others arses for all I care. I'm gunna wear by shirt with pride and be proud of where I am from and who I am.

Assuming of course you are a Manc.

Wow hahaha, maybe leave the house once in a while fella!

You'll find that English teams have always had the best players from Britain and Ireland playing for them, hence the interest from other home nations. There are plenty on here from Stockport and Stretford, should we tell them to F*ck and support their nearest club, I mean how could the possibly identify with City living in Stockport?

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Well yeah, ive always been the only City fan I know...and took a lot of shit through school about it. But its worth it...and will soon all be even sweeter.

Mate, I wasn't having a pop at ya, so leave out the third world shit if you don't mind.
I'm 100% English, and yes of the Manc variety...but if I had to choose, I'd pick NI as a place to live every time.

Exactly that.

If you're from Stockport then what's wrong with supporting Stockport? The difference here is that being from Stockport there are bound to Manchester City, or United connections and so it blurs the argument somewhat.

My point is (and lets get this Murray tw*t on that family tree programme on TV to prove he has absolutely f*ck all connection with Liverpool) that Colin Murray one day has CHOSEN (by looking to see who is at the top of the league) to support Liverpool.

In exactly the same way Patrick Keilty, Eammon Holmes and Alan Green have all arbitrarily picked their team.

And to me that is sad, hollow, unfulfilling and pointless when there are teams on his door step he already has and can develop a real connection and love with.

On and one final point did you notice the other thing that Murray, Holmes, Keilty and Green have in common?

That's right they are all Uber Tw*ts of the very highest order. In fact without exception each gives tw*tishness a bad name.

They are all also from NI. Co-incidence????<br /><br />-- Mon Sep 20, 2010 6:02 pm --<br /><br />...And before you all start calling me anti NI or bordeline racist just ask yourself where the c*nts who thought it would be a good idea to bomb our city (a place that has f*ck all to do with their pointless and childish 'struggle') came from.

They can all go to hell for all I care.

And how would you know how anyone from Northen Ireland feels about any team they may support?

You dont! Your entitled to your opinion but IMO your a small minded fool to think that in an age were the number one source of revenue for clubs comes from global TV rights that only people from a certain postcode should support City.

People from all over the world have followed City before you and will follow them after your gone and thats a fact.

If you think that Manchester has nothing to do with the Irish then you're a fool.

Part of the Damocles family history stems from the Fenians and the Manchester Martyrs.
