Talksport just reported City are putting netting up above the away section after a girl was hit by a coin from the "away section at a game"

FFS why not mention it was from the Liverpool fans? Always protected in the media those whinging victim c*nts.

100% guarantee they'd mention us if it were the other way round.

Yes, it was Jack Pitt-Brooke, another City Uncle Tom. I had no wish to read the article even though I have six days remaining of my most recent annual subscription to The Athletic, because Jack is like one of those weaselly little kids we can all remember at school, so desperate to be part of the gang with the cool kids that he's always pathetically trying to curry favour with them.

I saw his tweet that introduced his piece (not because I follow him but because, unfortunately) someone retweeted it. He was banging on about it being time for City fans to divorce their sense of the club's identity from that of the Abu Dhabi ownership or some such nonsense. IF we're found guilty on the most serious charges, then fair enough, but he doesn't even countenance the prospect, which makes his views impossible for me to respect.

I've banged on about my disdain for The Athletic before so am loath to do so again, but just to say that my experience after being lured back in by a £12 cut-price annual offer mirrored that of the poster above. It took literally two days for me to regret it as well, even at that bargain-basement price. I've had it for the entire period since February 17 last year, but have barely read it and now wouldn't even accept a free subscription.

Yeah it’s him. It was a hateful piece that didn’t read in a million years like a fan had written it, he didn’t criticise the ownership or celebrate the past the way a fan or a Manc might…he was twisting a knife. I’d never heard of him tbh and don’t know his backstory, but he comes across like a Rupert who started supporting City because everyone else in his prep school 250 miles from Manchester supported United and Liverpool. But then we became successful so he doesn’t like us anymore, and actually on the rare occasions he visits Manchester he finds it a bit scary and watches the match in a hotel near the station. Plus he’s got closer links to Spuds anyway and they’re more of an underdog now. More disaster plastic than actually Blue. And even apart from him the story count over there is woeful. Not proper coverage at all.

Just read an article in the DM that is critical of us planning to put netting up round the Liverpool fans in April. How it will resonate with them and carry a deep significance.
Tell them to behave then.

Have the Fail just linked it to Hillsborough! Is there no depths these wankers will not go to?

Every European game I can think of has had netting around away fans, it didn't stop them jibbing in though.

I would be putting up a plastic sheet to stop the piss. If it ruins the view tough!
