Good Morning. This is the grammar Police. Could we have 5 minutes of your time.
 
When I was a young lad and stood on the kippax with my mates I saw violence, it never involved me and strangely I never felt like I was threatened.

The only surly ones were the police who treated us like Rats, maybe it was just my perception of it at the time, probably glossed it over in my mind.

Gobby ****

You were about 10 anyway

I’m talking 70’s early 80’s . By late 80’s early 90’s I’d pretty much jacked all that shit in. Plus things had changed a lot by then ….. CCTV , undercover dibble , prison time etc etc

He didn't have any better luck when he rolled up at a pub in Chorlton a few years back either!

Talking to a red mate tonight who was there that night
O’Neill was being a horrible racist to the wrong people (the nutty branch of the Singhs from Hulme/old Trafford) who called his bluff
Put a beer towel on his head and wandered over going ‘bloody bud bud’
One of them went out to the car and got his iron

Had a scan back and can’t find the post you quoted. Are we talking about the time he got shot at Wetherspoons here?
