New breed of away fan

The throwing beer thing is just cringey as fuck, always some whopper with a bowl cut thinking he is in oasis or stone roses. Embarrassing wanting a video of a chant to put on snapchat or twitter.

Mate, annoying as they may be, they're not a patch on the same type who attended City matches in the mid to late eighties . Infact they don't even compare.

Well I can vouch for blue Corby and tell you he was at all those games in the 80's so he does know of what he speaks
 
I think it's as much a reflection of the way society has changed over the years as it is how City fans, particularly the away support, has changed. Maybe it's a sign I'm getting old but people in general seem to have a much more selfish attitude to life these days. There's far less appreciation of other people's needs, far less respect for their feelings and a much more obvious 'I'll do as I please' attitude which seems to partly explain the increase in City fans fighting City fans. There's clearly some problems with drug taking, the guy I saw in the toilets on Wednesday night certainly had a problem cos he'd missed his hooter and got it all down his coat, which I'm guessing is a fairly expensive mistake. One things for sure, next time we play Schalke away, anyone expecting to be served a beer at their seat is going to be disappointed and we'll be fortunate if other European clubs don't use Wednesday as a reason for reintroducing an alcohol ban inside the stadium.
 
The majority on here would've absolutely crapped themselves if they'd been at West Brom in Nov 87. Never been safer at matches today and City fans are Angel's now, don't have a problem with them at all.

Fucking hell, talk about missing the point. Guess what - we had a 15yo and a 16yo with us and both behaved impeccably (in fact, they could teach some of us older lot how to behave) so why don't you take your ageist bullshit elsewhere?

We are dealing with probabilities here. The fact that 2 teenagers with you behaved well is irrelevant. It's anecdotal evidence. Is it ageist bullshit that when the 2 teenagers you refer to try to get car insurance they will pay more than a 40 year old? Of course not. They will pay more because they are young men and their age group and testicles will count against them. Not because the insurance company are ageist and sexist but because statistically they are more likely to be involved in an accident than older drivers and girls of their own age group. For they same reasons they are more likely to get into trouble on a football away day.

I was at both WBA in Nov 87, and Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday night.

I can still remember walking back to the car at West Brom whilst observing the Guvnors in full flow, just 50 yards in front of us.
The big difference is that I never felt threatened by the hooligans who supported my team.
I don't feel like that anymore, especially if I say something like "Gundogan's been playing better than Silva recently" to the wrong person, (who instead of arguing constructively, will probably call me a wanker).
 
When did this exciting trend of beer throwing start? I don't remember it when I was young and if I remember well you could take it on the terraces and to your seat then. Money was tight so we probably drank it, mind you it was crap Greenhall's so should have been thrown lol!
