This internet chat room isn’t the real world. In the real world I’ve been a City fan for decades. I’m not only just joining this community, I’ve been part of the City supporting community in Manchester for decades.
So whether I’m a new member on Bluemoon is neither here nor there, because I’m not a new anything when it comes to City therefore my opinion holds as much weight as anyone on this forum or any WhatsApp group or in any pub or at any stadium when talking about this football club.
I don’t have to be reserved in case I raise the attention of the regulars. The regulars are just a bunch of letters on the internet to me, same as anyone else on here whether they joined last Tuesday or when the site first opened. I’ll be polite, I’ll be reasonable, I won’t call people names… but if I see something that makes our wider fanbase look daft, I’ll challenge it whether it’s my first post or ten-thousandth.
So far this season we’ve had two games and in both the refs were fine. Nowhere near perfect and not even very good, but fine. Yet, reading in this thread you’d think we’d had two performances like Mike Riley’s United v Arsenal game from 2004. I think that kind of hyperbole makes our fans look daft, we are laughed at about this sort of stuff, and people should accept that others might say, ‘let’s reign it in a bit and be more realistic, eh’.
