Hi I'm X, and I live with a rag.

I married a rag 23 years ago at 3pm on sept 23rd 1989, yeah 5-1 derby day!

I only agreed to it if we had everything blue and white for the wedding, ribbons, ties, flowers, the lot. I even got her to agree to wearing a blue and white garter with a City pin badge on it (got a pic somewhere if i can root it out) and to have the match on the radio in the rolls from the wedding to the reception. Good skills eh?

What a day! Brillaint seeing her irish rag family crying in their soup at the sit down and all my Blue mates turn up pissed from the match and give it large at the night doo.

Best wedding video ever too.

Still married believe it or not, and still love her to bits. she even shouts "come on City" for me as i walk out the door on my way to the Etihad.

Not all rags are bad, just most of em. Blue Army!

My parents did the same. I think the first time I saw City beat them in the flesh (2002) was actually the first time my dad had.
 
One of the dads at my lads school is a rag,he hasn't wanted to talk about football for the last 30 games but on thursday at the lads easter play he was all giddy and full of himself and wanting the banter....i thought he was pissed up at first they difference in him and he kept saying cheer up lad cheer up lad so i responded with the fact that we're a good second and its been a top season and the fact we've played shite since january and still in with a shout is laughable.....surprisingly he didn't have an answer.....
 
This is/ was a funny thread. Had me in stiches all the way.

To add context to the below, I've been a City fan all my life, but grew up in wales with Blue parents, so I don't have the accent. Was going to all the games during the barren years etc. when I was a nipper.

I've been living in a certain European city for a while working. I always go to a bar to watch all the City games (unfortunately don't get the oportunity to go to the actual games at the moment) this season. I am always the only City fan representing in earnest, whereas there's a disgusting amount of rags there every game singing their wank songs, drooling and arrogantly dribbling on the floor after a European 'pint'. They are vile creatures.

One of the greatest pleasures I've ever had in my life was watching the 1-6 derby this season (again, only blue, plethora of rags). Needless to say, I got battered during the game, and gave the rags all the banter I could muster. At the end, some pikey, rag prick (after blatantly shouting '****' in my direction for the final 30 mins) approached me and said to me in the foulest rag way 'why the fuck do you support City?' (clearly assuming that I am a new-age-city-supporter in reference to the fact that I don't have a manc accent).... I said nothing, I showed him my I.D., 'Place of Birth: Manchester'. He shut up pronto, shook my hand and bought me a pint, clearly in embarrassement.

Best moment of my life.

Although I accept it's not entirely relevent to this thread, so I will add... I'd never live with a rag!!!
 
On Thursday last week, a bloke at work - I'd seen him around, but had never spoken to him - came up to me and said out of the blue, "If we beat QPR and you lose to Arsenal, what then?"

I just replied, keeping calm, "we'll be second", to which he had no answer.

Yesterday morning, he was full of it: "I told you we'd beat QPR and you'd lose to Arsenal!"

Again, I just kept calm and tried to ignore him.

This morning, though I didn't go looking for him, I bumped into him.

"Nothing to say this Morning?" I asked.

"Oh, It's only one game, there are four more to go yet"

I just smiled and walked away.
