Me too, in fact several.

Is it so right or so wrong?

If only I could remember their names…..the whores.

I liked it.

The version I was told years ago was that in the early 1930s on one occasion they couldn't afford to pay the laundry bill to get their kit back so had to borrow a set from a non-league club, so "playing in rags".

Think United then were owned by an Ice Cream man. Oil must be worth a bit more hey......

I liked it.

Did they though?

Did they though?

There was only the one mate, and no audience!

Only acceptable if...

You must have used

Throat Oysters as lube

And the term

"You like it don't you, you dirty woman"

So my barrister informs me.

Hello,the way I heard it from a bloke I used to work with was it wasn't the team,Utd,but the fans. Many years ago the filth used to entice people in to watch their feeble offerings with a meal,which was soup. Because many people were out of work and could not turn down a free meal this led up to Utd being labled The Rags. Not the team but the people who went in.

I heard it was the owner of Umbro, at the time was a City fan, and utd were in a cup final and were also using Umbro (not sure what period in history it was) , and he said …….let them play in rags………… that was the only version I had heard before reading this thread, also the amount of so called diehard Rags who simply didn‘t have a clue why they were called it was unsurprisingly high……

I heard a totally different reason to why we call them Rags, the name came from a Tow-Rag, check out its meaning, but I like the British Navel one, it was a Rag which was used to clean your arse, then towed behind the ship to clean it.
Or Tow-Rag, is a low life, scum, or loser.

 

[percypawpaw]

Also spelled Toerag.
