Probably still there but it’s nowhere near Scotland.

I really hope it doesn’t creep in down here.

The good thing about England is that atheism is massively growing and many atheists look upon religious people as nutcases. The thought of getting involved in religious sectarianism (even if it’s mostly political) is laughable to me as an atheist, I feel a bit sorry for people who still cling on to that backwards old-fashioned kind of thing.

Weh weh wehhhh, we're going to be losing our goalkeeper and probably Gueye and a few others as well. Everyone's got players going off to the WC, City included. Liverpool aren't the only ones.

If we had a competent england manager then pickford wouldn't be getting on the pitch.

I don’t think it’s actually religion, the sectarians just use Catholic vs Protestant to describe their Irish vs British nationalism.

Where you are right is that nobody in England gives a flying fuck if your background is Catholic or Protestant and generally speaking the Irish are now seen positively here, it’s why we have the least amount of this nonsense.

When I was growing up in Manchester, I didn't have the faintest idea what religion our neighbours were. Why would I care? No skin off my nose what deity they chose to follow. Schoolfriends would have been catholic, obviously, with me going to catholic schools. But it was hardly a topic of rapt conversation on a monday morning. "Oi, Dave; did you go to communion yesterday?" Er; no.

I just about remember it being a bit of an issue, not much but a bit.

By the time I was an adult it was gone and nobody cared.
 
I'm English by birth but half Irish (and some other stuff). My Mum always said as a city fan we should support Rangers as Celtic n Utd had a connection. As I grew up I realised it was all bullshit and I stopped my affinity for Rangers. I'd be closer to Celtic politically thesedays but for me it would be Man City first, religion after. So any team that had a connection to Utd I'd be against, as it where. But I'm actually not sure how true the Celtic/Utd connection even is if I'm honest?

It’s a load of bollocks.

City and United have nothing to do with picking sides up there.

We have the odd Irish flags at City, usually with “City” written on them, I’ve heard Irish accents at City too and it’s not a problem whatsoever, in fact they’re blues and it’s their club as well.

We’re all just there for City and being a City fan is the only thing associated with going every week.

We don’t want sectarianism at our club, we don’t care if people have different backgrounds to us. if you’re coming to City with an interest in City then you’re welcome whoever you are.

It’s what I like about City, there is absolutely nothing political about us. You can be Tory, Labour, Green, SNP, even Sinn Fein…. Doesn’t matter as long as you don’t support sectarianism and don’t support bringing it to City. There’s probably been England flags with “MCFC” written across them and then an Ireland flag with the same message hanging yards away at City games before.

Liverpool fans brought Irish flags and sang sectarian songs at Rangers and sang about the Queen being in a box, as if they were Celtic to specifically be political.

That is totally different than bringing Irish flags just because you’re proud of being Irish and want to advertise Dublin Blues or whatever… which is perfectly fine.

City were even formed by Conservative Orangemen but that’s not something that has stayed with the club (I believe it was up until around the end of the Second World War but we also had a large Jewish contingent in our support).

The Protestant leaning of the club has just vanished since then, again likely due to the secular nature of England. For the better!

They used to play each other in pre-season and for each others players’ testimonials a lot and there’d be loads of them coming down to Old Trafford and they’d get on with each other well.

That also seems to have disappeared over the last few decades though.

I wonder if that balloon who devised the Banking points theory is still about.
City beat Brighton but they were expected to win anyway so a nil point gain.
The European Royalty may have lost but there is an allowance for adverse results due to crippling injuries, long grass or rank bad VAR. Therefore a nil point gain.
Summary -The Dipper quantum Theory declares City have not increased the lead on the Mentality Monsters.

Ha ha, that was fucking mental, even for them.

Banking points :-)

They don’t want to be English or British, they also flew Irish flags.

Their anti government crap and the aforementioned nonsense is quickly turning them into the English version of sectarian Celtic.

The good thing about English football as it doesn’t have any political shite in it… yet these lot are desperate to include it.

As quickly as they do it, the quickly they’ll become every team’s number one hated club, if they’re not there for most already.

Think England and their fans do tend to bring political shite as do Serco fc
