People Leaving STILL

[Marvin]

The OP has got it wrong.

What was remarkable was that so few left. We're City, we'll fight to the end, and now we believe it.

not only people leaving near me on 80 mins (west 3rd tier ) but loads of moaning twats - me and another lad were trying to urge the team on and most people looked at us like we were mental ! fantastic day but we do have a minority of shit supporters . was bursting for a piss so nipped to the bogs while the pitch was being cleared at 90 mins and there were hundreds outside on ashton new rd who would have killed to get in ?

I wanted to leave 85-minutes at Wembley '99 but my mate said "no, I want to stay for my dad".

I learnt my lesson that day by not leaving.

Didn't leave early yesterday because whatever the result I wanted to say thanks to the team!

I think this post sums it all up.

I noticed people around me leaving on 85 mins, I thought there would be at least 5 mins added on due to subs and Barton etc.

The thing is the stadium announcer said the team were gonna do a 'lap of appreciation'

You should have stayed for that alone.
Like the guy said earlier he wished he could have had a ticket for that last 10 minutes, well mate, you probably deserved it more than the twunts that walked !

I didn't leave but i did have a very long piss and cig around the 80 minutes mark

Dad and lad from Birmingham next to me left, didn't understand why, think of '99.

We managed to get a cab back to town and the driver told us he picked someone up who'd left early and he was virtually back in town when the fella got a text to say we'd won. He made the taxi turn round and take him back!

About thirty years ago my dad and I got a lift to the ground with a dentist called Bob Thompson. We were going to watch City play Notts County in the League Cup. For some reason, he wanted to show us the christmas lights at his surgery, so we took a detour whilst he went into the surgery to show us his christmas lights. Which made us late for the game. Happy days.

Then with the score at 3-1 to us with about 7 or 8 minuttes to go, Bob decides to leave early to 'beat the traffic'. Needless to say, we scored twice more after we had left, including Dennis Tueart scoring his hattrick goal. So I missed a hattrick from one of my all time idols. Thanks, Bob.

Anyway, from that day I have had a pathological loathing of leaving early. I have no doubt whatsoever it relates back to that day. And staying to the end has brought ups and downs = Fulham at home a few years ago, the ginger twat's header 3 seasons ago, Spurs and Sudnerland at home this season.

Would I have stayed to the end anyway? I hope so. But I will never leave a City game early, and Bob Thompson is the reason for it, and that is why I saw Kun Aguero score the goal which won the league. So if you are a retired Dentist called Bob, thanks mate - I've loathed you for thirty years, but now I find myself owing you a beer.

My dentist is called Mr Thompson, he once left halfway through doing a filling!

Kidding, I have no fillings.

You just cannot leave a football game early. Irrespective of City's momentous '98 moment, history dictates that in football late goals are scored, comebacks occur, and miracles do happen.
