Otamendi

[block118]

Do we know when this deal will be signed?

 

[Seosa]

A much more humble response by everybody else wouldn't have gone amiss either.

I bet it's piss easy to walk over you.

 

[Ducado]

As an older fan but newer poster, some of these responses have been a bit disappointing in regards to the #23 error.

Can only agree with this, some people really need to calm down

Been a Blue since 1981 season ticket holder quite a few seasons. Now live away with a young family so can't go as often as I like. Teenage years were awful to be a Blue as it coincided with them cunts good period. I forgot about Marc's shirt number ( it is early ) does this make me a rag or new money Blue? Why do people go straight for the jugular on here ffs.Not one person on here knows everything about our beloved City.

Thank God for a bit of level-headed common sense! I love to bore everyone by telling them that the first City match I was taken to was at OT when City hammered the rags 5-0...in 1956! What i never tell them is that I've never passed an exam to show I possess sufficient mastery of City's history (though I love reading about it and watching it on DVD!!) and I've certainly never been asked to have my opinions vetted to ensure they're sufficiently virulently anti-rag. I'm actually pretty sure that our stadium will one day boast a crowd to surpass Maine Road's record, simply because our club just invites people to come along and watch the team, in the sure and certain knowledge that they'll come back - wearing the shirt and scarf and singing from fans' song sheet.

It seems that Otamendi wants to come and I think we want him, but, if his remarks about United are reported accurately, he doesn't seem to want to drive anyone away because their knowledge of 'istry and tradition is a bit vague.

I wasn't offended and have been a blue some 50 odd years.
I just realised it was one of those things the lad didn't know about us.
Cut some slack heh :-)

As other people have referenced it wasn't the initial mistake that rattled my cage so to speak ... It was his reaction coming back to The thread and being an arrogant self important degenerate

 

[goalmole]

That would have been all well and good, until he came back being a billy big bollocks.

With the response he got, I'm not surprised he became defensive.

 

[PrestwichPete]

Back on topic (kind of) ... but do City still ever use Bridgewater Hospital for signings anymore?

Older fan? You're only 25, ffs.

 

[believe_in_cfg]

He also said 'the deal is nailed on' so not just the shirts. I recall Alan Shearer having his Rag shirts printed 20 years or so ago so you are right that alone means nothing.

Respect your info. No attack on you, could just see people getting excited. The only time we know things are done are when it's all on the website, that's the reality of it.

I know preparations have been made internally for KDB's arrival and that is obviously still on a knife edge. The club likes to be organised in the event of something happening but that in itself is no guarantee.

I think you'll find most are welcoming of new fans..myself included

When I get into anything outside of football I research it thoroughly

Find out about it

Surely if you're going to support a club you'd look at significant events in its history..at the very least

This is not a balloon scoring a goal here

Or Dibble getting the ball headed out of his hands

This is a player dying and his number being retired

There's not one person young or old who I know that's a City fan that doesn't know the significance of that number

I just think if you're going to post on a forum full of reasonably knowledgeable and long standing fans

You should at least have a working knowledge of the football club

I don't think that's unreasonable

Fixed the goalkeeping error for you mate.. :-)

 

[goalmole]

I bet it's piss easy to walk over you.

I like to think that I am a balanced and fair minded person that doesn't rush to judgement on others.

 

[George Hannah]

I don't though, not even remotely.

Genuinely sorry to read that.

Oops Hahahaha

 

[sir baconface]

To all those who reacted to @ankitptrivedi's comment about the No23 shirt.
Why should he apologise for an innocent mistake and how is it disrespectful. He wasn't trying to sully the memory of Marc Vivien Foe in any way. He made an innocent comment. Why didn't people just explain the significance of that particular number and move on instead of the show of indignation. But then that wouldn't have massaged your ego's and highlighted what longstanding supporters and know alls you are. Just have to remember that none of us own Manchester City. Anyone can come along support us in their own way whenever they want.
I just wish people would be more welcoming of newer supporters rather that look down on them because they haven't followed City as long as others might have done.

+1. Ridiculous over-reaction to an innocent mistake. We should be better than this.

100% agree.

I can't believe anyone would really be offended by this. I certainly wasn't.

An innocent mistake by a young new blue.

Looks like one upmanship to me! Faux outrage.

This site can be merciless sometimes. We should welcome new fans not tear them apart at the first opportunity.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Not directed at you but those that know it all should have the decency to say it in a polite way as well. So far I've only seen 2 posts that actually points my mistake, all other posts are 'Seriously?', '****', 'Plastic'.

While I'm trying to read as much as possible, a little patience and a little less abuse with the new fans would be good.

I'll agree with what your saying here,but I don't think your "did I make you cry" comment done you any favours.

 

[PrestwichPete]

Older fan? You're only 25, ffs.

My apologies that my quarter of a century is not of stature to be seen as 'older'. I'll see you in another 25 years and we can re-assess?

 

[blueheart84]

Come on now, the lad made a mistake, he's been taken to task about it, let's not get all Liverpool about it.

This

It's not unreasonable but maybe he is learning the history now and hasn't gone that far back? Maybe he just forgot for a moment ( just like me) Complete overreaction on here. The lad has more or less been threatened for not knowing something. Pretty sure Marc would of been really proud of Blues on here bullying another member for what is an innocent comment.

PS wasn't it Dibble?

 

[Phil1]

Genuinely sorry to read that.

Only on this George. I've no doubts you're a very trustworthy person on a variety of other subjects.
