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.
 
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 :-)

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.
 
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.
 
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 Weaver 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


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?
