Present Day Football, Fans and Any Other Stuff You Hate About It!

When I go to see The Chameleons I film one song every year. I hold my phone low out of sight (the sound is often better). I do it because one day (soon) Mark Burgess won't be doing it anymore. I watch them occasionally and they're my memories of my favourite band.

I also film bits of City matches, the opposition fans, the light shows etc home and away and compile videos at the end of the season to remember it by.

I'm not at it all the time. Just a few moments, here and there. I guess when lots of us do that it probably looks horrendous. Again I do it discretely during the match.

My treble winning season video ended up being over 20 mins and yes I have watched it a lot.

My memories of the 80s, 90s and 00s are fading but I know when I'm too old to go anymore, I'll have these compilations to remember some of the best times of my life.

Got something in my eye reading that.
 
There were a couple of rags sat next to me at the Derby. East Stand upper, near the half way line. Man and woman. Early thirties. Looked like they were from the Middle East. Clocked him early on, then her shortly afterwards. Nothing too obvious at first but body language gave them away. Then when United scored she started filming the United fans ffs. Amazed no one pulled them up on it, as I’ve seen it get nasty in there when opposition fans are outed, but no one else seemed to suss. Seemed completely oblivious to it. When United scored again, their body language was completely obvious to me, and yet no one said a dicky bird. Maybe it was their proximity to me, but was genuinely staggered no one pulled them up, or worse, which I certainly wasn’t hoping for.

After the second went I told him quietly that they both needed to wind their necks in and keep their heads down, or it could get nasty and they did tbf. And they left just before the end.

I’ve been in loads of away ends following City. Thirty or so grounds, including Elland Road and the Britannia when it got very tasty, Old Trafford and Anfield loads of times, and I know the rules. Keep your head down and respect that this is other people’s territory. Don’t take the piss and don’t be a ****.

I felt it said a lot about the modern game, that a couple who were, to me at least, obviously United fans in the City end, in a Derby, filming the United fans going mental, seemed to go unnoticed, despite the signs being there.

Not sure whether I ‘hate’ that about the modern game, but it’s sure a sign of the way things have changed.
 
Man City v Man Utd women.
At the Etihad Stadium. 1pm on the Sunday for families is perfect.
The women need a big crowd with a big atmosphere behind them especially being at the men’s stadium.

Get’s moved to 6.45pm for TV

6.45pm on a Sunday night (no doubt cold & wet) with school the next day. Just f*ck off!
 
The goalkeeper making himself ridged and blocking with whatever part of their anatomy they can.
Them big stupid gloves they all wear.
They never hold a ball after a save.
The amount of goals that go in coz he has his fuckin eyes closed throwing himself in the way.
Give me an old fashioned keeper, with the reflexes of a feral cat. And gloves that allow him to feel and catch the ball.
Anyway, Merry Xmas to all you blues out there, and a happy new year.
