Guvnors

[mancityvstoke]

Mikey was a funny great guy...could always find him on Maine Road selling near the ticket office before it was all stopped. The last time I saw him was the 4 - 1 promotion at Blackburn away and he had a very smart suit on outside Blackburn.

Donalds regrets ? I know....he told me.

One thing that made me laugh about Donald quite a few years ago (1995 ish) was his son wearing a Man Yoo top one day..I pissed myself laughing.

Interesting story about that, however would probably cause ruptures so i'll leave it.
And indeed mikey, although spending most of his time with the rag persuasion, always managed to put a smile on my face even on the darkest days..... a proper gent.

All you can say about the book is it is of it's time, it really was a different era, every club had it's hooligan element it was part of the game, and who were the worst in the early 70's (before I started going properly)

The Rags! In particular the year they got demoted, the caused mayhem everywhere they went

read the book couple of years ago and i witnessed several of the items mentioned, top boys every one of them and as for jimmy gittins, lunatic, sound guys and proud of them all, thats the era i grew up so don't have a problem.

great book, & im only on the second chapter, loving it already, anybody else read it, opinions?

Glorifying violence in a week in which a 3 year old kid got hit with a brick at City?

Kids who act tough mouthing it off, and bricking fans in crowds are not tough. They are cowards and idiots.

That book's for mugs. If you want violence, go to a gym, get yourself fit, and take up boxing or one of the martial arts.

Football violence is a thing of the past. It seems to me that it's the same old people in black coats and wrinkled bald heads trying to recreate something they did years ago and a growing group of impressionable younger dimwits who look up to the older lot like they were Normandy veterans or something.

What makes me fookin piss about the shabby crowd of spotty herberts who skip backwards and forwards between the Bof the B and Mary Dee's when there's a bunch of ageing ne'erdowells having a reunion, is that there is a perfectly good war going on overseas. If you like violence so much, sign up, otherwise STFU and sit down!

Had a read as an ex colleugue is it in, and his picture with a dodgy porn tash is funy as fuck.
Thought I saw MF at Sheff Weds away in the cup a couple of seasons back, Some guy as wide as he was tall coming to the ground just before kick off, presume he was well known as he near enough had his own Police escort.

bloody ell, how old are you mate? no one was asking what you think of football violence and whether or not you think there are ''spotty herberts'' (your language is dreadful) supporting city.

having read the book myself, i found it to be a great read. It allowed me to imagine how it would of felt like as not only a home fan, but an away fan in the past coupe of decades. I'm sorry, but to call them all 'dimwits' is just daft, If people seek safety in numbers and have a laugh doing it, calling them names doesn't do anything else than antagonise. And what has wars got to so with anything...bloody, dramaticaly exagerated thoughts there.
