No Manchester C o A on the FA Cup final shirt

[mcfcliam]

Don't post often but this really, really pisses me off.

This has shown me that despite all the reassurances the 'Sheikh' has decided we don't represent Manchester anymore. We represent Him and his investment and rescue of this club.

As far as I'm concerned this is as big a step as trafford taking 'Football Club' off their badge.

Mansour, there is acknowledement at what you've done for us but to pull the rug from under our feet as the Manchester Club is a big decision. Maybe too big a decision.

Rag

Here's a taster. Couldn't find our current kit as a template so had to get a new collar on it. You get the basic idea though:

I like!!

Just back in from my gig and pleased to see well over 500 names on there now - yes there are some duplicates and some rags but there's an awful lot of blue on there wanting to make a difference - and nobody made a difference by doing fook-all! To all those who are against petitions or against signing it - fair play, 'tis your choice - but if you want to see the CofA on the shirt don't just do nothing and expect it to happen - call them, email them, write to them - just do something else, but do something!

Spread the word and lets see if we can over the 1k mark by the end of the weekend - in the meantime I'll craft an email to the suits.

doesn't surprise me one iota, all about the money.

Email sent - I'll keep you posted if I get a reply :)

Its unfortunate and embarrassing that the club have now been contacted about this petition, particularly given the small selection of 'signatures' I have cut and pasted from it below-utterly cringeworthy and the amount of signatures you're led to believe are on there is not credible in the slightest when you look at them, easily between 20-30% of the 'signatues' are rags, faceless pseudonyms or excerpts from Wikipedia.

307. Mr. McScotty Haggis is indelibly linked to Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. Born on 25th January 1759 in Alloway, Ayrshire, his birth is celebrated at Burns suppers throughout the world, where haggis is consumed with great gusto and great ceremony. While remaining the culinary centrepiece of this celebration, haggis is now popular as a nutritious and easy to use ingredient throughout the year, enlivening canapés, pakoras, lasagne, pies and many other recipes.

285. Carlos Kettleneck Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ following his time in the desert and his triumphal re-entrance into Jerusalem. This is a very important event in many Christian churches and is seen by some as the foundation of the Religion. Many churches hold special services on Good Friday to remind their congregations about Christ's suffering. Good Friday falls on the Friday before the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.

287. Harry Ramsden But where did this famous culinary delight originate? The simple answer is that no one really knows. We do know that fish and chips were developed separately. The French invented chips or “chipped pommes de terre a la mode” (from the humble potato commonly believed to have been brought to Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 17 th century), and in 1839 Charles Dickens referred to a “fried fish warehouse” in Oliver Twist.

281. Phill Hall I love sucking cock.

Founded by Josiah Wedgwood I, known as the 'father of English potters', Wedgwood created the ornamental wares black basalt and Jasper for which the company is still renowned and perfected Queen's Ware, the company's celebrated cream coloured ceramic body.

328. Wiggy Ireland A wig is a head of hair made from horsehair, human hair, wool, feathers, yak hair, buffalo hair, or synthetic materials which is worn on the head for fashion or various other aesthetic and stylistic reasons, including cultural and religious observance. The word wig is short for periwig and first appeared in the English language around 1675.

So by your definition that leaves 70% that aren't - so some rags are spoiling the overall number - so what! There's still hundreds on there that are genuine and the more genuine ones we can get on there the more their presence is diluted. If you spent as much time promoting the cause as whining about the rags on there that could be considered a helpful thing to do ;)

 

[Roger Ringpiece]

No thanks, I want Citys badge on the shirt not the councils.

So that's the problem then - we're doing something that you don't approve of and you're using the fact that the overall number is flawed to hide behind. Now I understand :) For one moment I thought you cared that the petition was inaccurate - now I know that you don't want any petition to be made to the club - full stop!
