Simple Minds...a great band.
The City experience? (What the fucks that?) I must be from a very different world to you people.
Seems that for some of us that experience is certainly very different. Takes all sorts I suppose and in the old days you really would not have liked away trips.
Next time you’re offended by horrid simple minded neanderthal blues singing nasty songs on a train wait until they’re asleep and give them a slap. Better still do it while they’re awake singing instead of whining like girls about it on the Internet.
Maybe call British Transport Police. It's probably best you go on a supporters club coach next time or drive.
No alcohol then and no nasty city fans.
In fairness i think Astley Lad said he is 50+ so he must have gone to a few away games in the bad old days,not sure on Squirtyflowers age range.
I like some of the changes to football these days.Although on occasion the violence at the match was a buzz,frightening but a buzz,i like the fact that mainly i can go away now to the scousers and Chelsea and not fear being ambushed everywhere and fighting/running for my life, chased by 200 patrons of these great clubs,all wanting to introduce me to their mate Stanley and their new boots.Plus i am too fucking old to run or fight for more than 2 minutes without collapsing,lol!
Now i am older i do squirm a bit when fans,or groups of blokes are singing crude songs on transport with no regard for anyone else,but when i was 19 i would have probably have been doing the same.These PC days everyone is so terrified of saying or doing anything at work,or anywherere,for fear of the sack,so i guess when in a group at a game people rebel a bit and let their hair down.
It isn't just at games,or on the way to games you experiance this though,Last night the once a year bank holiday drinkers were out in force and were a nightmare,no idea where they go the rest of the year,back in their box i think,lol!
I am not getting brainwashed into this ''City experiance,we are all in it together'' bollocks though,football is something i know how to support and enjoy without some pr wanker telling me how!!
I do feel football is at the tipping point though and can go either way,as recent violent outbreaks show.I hope a middle ground can be reached where some fans can still sing,stand up and act the goat[feed him!] on occasion and others sit down,eat their butties and politely clap.As for the violence,stamp it out[no pun intended,lol] we don't need that back!
