t's hard to get my head around it all. I started going in the Bell, Lee and Summerbee era so maybe I was slightly spoiled as a kid. Boy did I bloody pay for it later though lol.
I’ve watched the goals back today and noticed on Rodri’s celebration and knee slide in front of CBL1 there’s a chunk of a few dozen fans who are stood there with no emotion on their faces, they aren’t cheering nor even clapping. Definitely tourists there.Not trying to be cynical about this, but how many of them were visibly tourists?
Bar Tranmere.lol.I was wondering about that. A comment you made in passing slightly surprised me. My first match was in spring 1968. I can't honestly remember half-time ever only being ten minutes. Are you sure about that? I do, on the other hand, vaguely seem to remember matches kicking off at 7.30 p.m.
One thing I loved about the old pre-satellite television era is how absolutely everybody, in all four divisions, kicked off at 3 p.m. on the dot.
Bar Tranmere.lol.
I saw this last night when i rewatched the game.They barely fucking reacted. I'd have laughed at United a few years ago for that if I'm honest. It was mentioned on Talksport too. My sons were in the north stand behind the goal and they said something similar. They said people around them barely cheered.I’ve watched the goals back today and noticed on Rodri’s celebration and knee slide in front of CBL1 there’s a chunk of a few dozen fans who are stood there with no emotion on their faces, they aren’t cheering nor even clapping.

The lad next to me last night was a Mancunian Chinese lad and his mate was a few rows in front. They were both getting behind us, weren’t tourists/day trippers but local Blues.

How can you not even clap ? So you go to the game, you see a worldy and barely raise a smile...???

I suppose that’s what City get when they increase the price from the Ro16 to the Quarterfinal from £35 to £53 (that was just my seat) when we’ve got Wembley to also pay for next week.I saw this last night when i rewatched the game.They barely fucking reacted.

From what I've seen, I think with many of these self-styled (probably self-appointed) 'capos' consider themselves to be as important as the team, and half the stand looking in the general direction of the pitch are not really watching the football but these two (or four) for instructions on what to do or 'sing' next... equally strange!
