All the club has to do, instead of getting the message down thru various paid mouthpieces is reimburse fully those poor sods who weighed in for the Russian trip, and then knock this off whatever whack they feed UEFA....and all will be happy around the campfire.Haha, I actually find it quite easy to swim against the tide and stand up for what I believe in. A trait I share with the vast majority of blues.

The booing was a little less vigorous on Wednesday. May be lots of fans not sure what to do and alternative would be followed.Maybe it will happen one day but for now, I don't see an end to the booing and whilst I don't think it's right any longer, despite sharing the loathing of UEFA as an organization, I completely understand why it happens and respect the right of those to do it.
Just out of interest dribble, and I really don't mean to provoke, but what realistically could UEFA do for you to consider justice has been served?Each to their own mate, me & @hgblue will continue the fight until we get justice!! :-)
As such I will continue to BOO until my bloodshot eyes bulge and I bust a blood vessel...... You may have noticed previously that I react adversely to bullies & I'll always seek to protect the weak and innocent even if they can't help protect themselves.....

Oh so i am allowed to comment then, great.
Khaldoon hasn't requested we stop, no. Just the manager former chairman Paul Lake etc so far.
And you are allowed to continue of course. However impotent & misguided that may be.
Hopefully you will be drowned out by people shouting support for the team, but if not, perhaps UEFA will allow you to continue being heard rather than turning the mics down.
Absolutely, comment away. Cheer the anthem if you want, sing along to it, sing Blue Moon over it, do whatever you think is right.
Franny Lee and Paul Lake are entitled to their views. I've got a lot of respect for both.
As important as you might think booing the anthem, it's already getting press. There were numerous press articles about it only this week which highlighted City's gripes with UEFA. Almost as if those gripes had been leaked to the press by the club...
At the very least, the couple of million readers of the Mail, Telegraph and Mirror will have read about City's gripes with UEFA. That's a huge positive in my view.
Far less impotent than singing Blue Moon while the anthem plays. That would create zero headlines and zero impact, so think you're flogging a bit of a dead horse there mate.
If the club wanted us to stop it would be extraordinarily easy for them to communicate that wouldn't it? A post on the website or social media would take less time than it's taken me to write this. But the club haven't have they?
As I said earlier, even if the club had requested we stop, it doesn't mean we should. Everyone makes their own decision.
I will boo when I'm in the stadium during the anthem for reasons known and up until the moment I genuinly believe the UEFA rules in a fair transparant way to all FA's and their clubs.
As soon as the anthems final note is played I go back to supporting City fullhearted. And I don't give a shat if people do or don't agree.
What are the huge positives you speak of? personslly I don't care about whether other fans understand why the booing. They don't listen when the excuses for empty seats is peddled to justify why not full house. They don't give a shit.Absolutely, comment away. Cheer the anthem if you want, sing along to it, sing Blue Moon over it, do whatever you think is right.
