The InvisiBLUE Man

after hours of persuading my uncle that my cousin (11y.o. girl) would be fine at the derby, i thought it would be best for me to walk her round the long way around COMS after the game. several phone calls from mates later, i was pretty sure i'd made the right call.
walked along ashton new rd towards town and saw very little apart from a couple of mobs of kids dressed like they were about to audition for parts as extras in Football Factories II (as all the trouble was near the ground). as we were walking round by the mitchell arms there were loads of coppers (and dog handlers) by the metrolink works, and my cousin asked me why thet were there, the answer to which i didnt know. so, as is customary when you do not know the answer to a question, i asked (in a calm, friendly manner) "how comes there are so many of you stood here? are you expecting trouble over here again? (they penned in a load of rag scum after the CC SF round the back of the flats near here). the response from the GiMP was shocking: "keep walking w4nker!", i turned round and asked what i had done to be called a w4nker, to which another copper replied "keep walking or i'll fcuking nick you!".
now, had i been causing trouble of any kind this form of response would have been on some level justified. i was not, i was simply walking with my 11 year old cousin to meet my uncle and his mate to get a lift home. i simpy repled to the copper "you're a disgrace to the job" i replied, "it's no wonder that this force's name is mud!".
after getting back to the car and having a few minutes to calm down while sitting in slow moving traffic, we were heading towards the northern quarter along great ancoats and saw a group of 5 lads (prob 15 y.o. ish) a few of which were waring norwich scarves, surrounding 3 younger looking kids (two girls and a boy) and pushing them around and shouting at them. i shouted out of the window to these lads to leave them alone and one of them shouted back at me to "fcuk off you fat cnut". i got out of the car and walked over to these lads with my uncle's mate in tow and asked these lads if they thought they were hard with their picking on these kids and if they did, would they like the chance to prove it against two 6 foot plus fully grown men. none of these lads seemed particularly up for the challenge so we advised them that it would be best if they all just calmed down and went home immediately. they moved fairly quickly. we then walked these three kids to piccadilly gardens and saw they got on their bus safely before going to rejoin my uncle.
and just to think i left the ground and walked the long way round it in order to avoid any incidents/confrontations...
