The fella sounds like a tool, but I'm not sure if being a tool should be grounds for getting kicked out of the stadium.
IOWBlue said:I feel sorry for my nine year old if this is how football support is going. He eats, sleeps and breathes City and im bringing him up to be a match going supporter. With that goes respect for others, but also that his matchday should be a laugh, with his mates, who all look after each other, and that all other City fans are roughly the same as him. The last couple of months on this forum have changed my mind. Every thread has people swearing at each other, claiming to be better than others. If someone read it for the first time, they would think we all had nothing in common except for City. The majority of my time watching City up to the last few years, was more of being with a huge extended family on matchday, but now its like an "us and them". Ive read all groups of supporters getting grief, from families, standing fans, sitting but not singing fans, singing but still under 20 year old fans, dont come from Manchester fans, and those who didnt go to York. Maybe it really is, that all we have in common is City, and 90 minutes a week, just isnt the same as when we were all from the same streets, factories, pubs, schools and background. The day i read that a Blue getting evicted for warning his mates, and is condemned, is the day that i realise we havnt got the best fans in the world. :(

What a load of sanctimonious old shit. Yes, without a shadow of a doubt we all have City in common but to state that "just isnt the same as when we were all from the same streets, factories, pubs, schools and background" is just a ridiculous generalisation. And who are you to say we don't have the best fans in the world just because the majority abide by the rules of the stadium!
Nobody can smoke in the Etihad Stadium. It's a law. If you don't like it then don't turn up. If you do turn up and smoke, then accept the consequences ... and if you're dogging out for somebody that is smoking than you're guilty by association.
