Other Fans City Fans Get On With

[CTID1988]

I can’t get an accurate figure but if 100 were arrested then that’s not a significant number.

I was out in town for my birthday that night, there were thousands of them at it. 100 arrests just says to me a lot avoided getting arrested, including the ones who sexually assaulted my staff

About 10 girls from my office were sexually assaulted walking through Manchester on their lunch break, hours before the defeat. Glass bottles were thrown at our windows. People were shitting and pissing in the streets. This is all before it properly kicked off.
Its was fucking horrible and not a tiny minority at all

My wife at the time (now ex), was heavily pregnant at the time. She had been in a restaurant for lunch and came outside with no idea what was going on. She was getting crushed in a huge crowd of Gers fans and becoming very frightened. A group of Gers fans surrounded her and protected her, and escorted her all the way back to Piccadilly station.

Joined a local golf course yesterday and the Pro is an Everton fan... Had a chat about football and he said that he and his Everton mates had always had a soft spot for our club... Who knew? Certainly not me

Maybe it was all part of the sales pitch ;-)

To be honest I have pals who are Rangers (and Celtic) fans and I was in Manchester that night. It was a full-blown riot involving thousands of people at many locations. The fact the police only arrested 100 shows you how bad the policing was. I wouldn't condemn all Rangers fans and the trouble was caused mostly by non match-goers. In the interests of balance the Celtic fans were also terrible in Manchester and songs about Manchester being bombed and terrorist victim Lee Rigby could have caused another riot if the City fans had not been so passive.

Sunderland goes back to the 1991 relegation match. 15,000 travelling Mackems at Maine Road. A 3-2 win for City sent them down, but similar to City’s relegation at Upton Park in 1987, there was mutual appreciation between the fans. As well as the Poznan which we all appreciated in 2012, they were hands down the soundest fans we have encountered at Wembley for the League Cup Final in 2014.

Yep its the 91 game where they earned my respect. They were amazing that day

Not sure about everton? Theyve always been cunty with us

I dunno mate, we live in a fucked up world and if I saw that written on someone’s car it would cross my mind that they were a wrong un

Especially if it was about Leeds.

After the 2008 Uefa Cup final Rangers can suck my plums

The correct answer.

Someone built a massive wall to keep the fucking savages out for a reason.

Did you bet on them to win?

Estimated 200,000 Gers fans on the march in Manchester would always lead to a tiny minority mob after defeat.

Ibrox is on my bucket list. I may go next season.

I’d rather go for a day out to Gaza than the Ibrox but each to their own.

Don't think City were very accommodating either, in the replay ?

53 thousand there that night.
