Scariest away day following City

I agree with that. 3 of their made in Chelsea types started gobing off at my and my lad last year after the league game when we won 1 nil. They won't do it again.

I was outside 'spoons in town start of this season when we played them. Five of them walking to a taxi opposite giving it loads at the pub. The lad stood next to me walks towards them so i go with him. Between us we're about 20 stone, i'm 5ft 7 and the other lad is shorter than me but we're both a bit feral looking, me in a handsome way obviously. The other lad is saying to them there's no need to be wankers but 2 of them carry on shouting shit about northern scum etc. The other lad then says fuck it, come on then, and we move forward. The spurs 2 soon joined there mates in the taxi and fucked off.
Walking back to spoons the other lad turns to me and tells me he's united.

Slight twist on the post...At any Derby games did you "Bump" into any of your mates who you would normally go out on the piss with, if so what did you do

I once met three pals who were Rags as we walked back towards Chorlton from a Derby match at the swamp in the 80s. We ended up in a mixed group of three Blues and three Reds. In those days you never wore colours to away games but two of the Rags had scarves. Then we were jumped by a gang of City fans outside the Seymour pub and ended up battling with them. They had no idea half of us were Blues and we ended up in a Blue on Blue brawl. Totally absurd but in keeping with those times.

lol. Similar story. Once at maine road in those funny seats between the main stand and the north stand I was giving dogs abuse to united fans and players etc during a derby. I was in full flow stood up on my own when my cousin turned round a few seats below and gave me a huge smile and told me he was going to tell my mum about my language. He is a rag but it took my flow away and I couldn't tell anyone who he was, We laughed at the next sunday lunch.

Around 2007 we used to go down as a group of mates, maybe 15 years old, especially to cup games and used to buy tickets in 111, when it was overtaking 116/117 for atmosphere.

There were a good few of us that used to go in this group from school and get twatted on the way down.

We took a Rag with us once who, like all the armchair ****s, felt like he was missing out.

He started gobbing off inside the ground about all sorts, mainly empty seats, considering it was a Wednesday 2nd round league cup game under Pearce.

Anyway I just shouted “this lad here’s a Utd fan” and a few older blokes turned round and started asking who.

He fucking legged it out and we didn’t see him until we got back to Piccadilly.

Part of me misses the days of being little ****s, City being shit, but going down on the piss in a big group, expecting to get beat.

All came to a head when I got arrested when we got beat 2-3 against Fulham but that’s another story.

Dont remember Derby running, they certainly didnt come forward though.

Do remember seeing the City fan who ran on his own into the Derby fans though.

Was at Leeds when another guy did the same thing at the cup tie in 78 running straight into a mob on his own.

My mate Brian ran the length of the pitch at forrest with a police horse in tow before diving into their end. Little fucking nutter he was.

Never happened to me but a mate of mine met a neighbour from his street after a Derby at OT.....Near the police headquarters.

After he did what he did (no details as it was horrific) I was stunned in shock when he said he lived down the street from him.

I would imagine if you met actual friends fuck all would happen and you'd have a friendly laugh with each other.

Why would you do anything else?

My brother smacked one of his good friends because he wouldn't stop singing the bonfire song. It was in a pub and about 12 in the afternoon.

I know. What's up with them. I wouldn't dream of going down there and calling them southern whatever. I respect people. One lad did one shitting himself cand left his two mates. Suddenly the big one. 6 4 no word of a lie starts shitting his tack and negotiating. I am nearly 60 and went for the main aggressor who had already been punched but wouldn't shut up.

I'm still convinced to this day that the second half was fixed for safety reasons. I was in the middle of the kop with my dad & the atmosphere was toxic as fuck at halftime.

A 3-2 defeat kept us in a better mood after the game... gallant fightback etc.

Typical City summed up in half a dozen games at the end of that season culminating in a mega orgasm.

Me and my mate went up to watch rangers play.
We went in a pub near to the ground and I went up to the bar. As I was ordering a drink a let on to lads around me. One lad half acknowledged me. A spurs fan. And he walked to a table in the corner where there was 8- 10 of them.
I wasn’t expecting spurs fans but didn’t think much of it and went and sat back down with my mate.
Then started the anti Utd songs but directed at me and my mate.
Not a problem at first but the rangers fans had changed their stance from being casual to looking aggressive. And in our direction.
We were close to getting mullered.
So I Walked to the centre of the room and belted out an anti Utd song.
The spurs lot were shut up and the rangers lot dragged us to the bar and bought us beer all night.
The rangers lad who spoke to me first said”I thought you was city, why are they singing those songs at you”

“No idea” I replied.

“doesn’t matter, we don’t like them anyway. We are going to batter them”

unfortunately, I didn’t witness them get battered. But I reckon they did.
 
We walked back into town one year after a derby at the Etihad. We waited for one of the lads outside who's a rag, he'd had to much to drink and was pissed off with the result, still a top lad when hes not rubbered. Got to Oldham street and he was still mouthing off, 2 lads (City fans) across the road took offence, they must of only been about 18. He told them to keep stum or he would be over. No need, one of them crossed and gave him a crack. His parting shot was 'that's not all you've lost today'. We still give him grief about that.

What a weird game that was. Remember buying a raffle ticket before kick off and ended up winning the match ball signed by both teams and presented by Jimmy Frizzell... couldnt raise a smile though! Still got it in the loft somewhere... fairly sure it had Justin Fashanu’s signature on who was playing for county back then.
