The Bananas ...WHY...Educate us young pups please!

It started off as a racial slur then when racism became unfashionable everyone claimed it was because someones name sounded like a banana.

Why would you type this comment?

Only one reason I can think of...

Clearly isn't a blue.

I don't know where to start in responding so will just say that what you've written is a wrong.

Hopefully you're just fishing or a Copper from Leeds.

When we played there early into the craze a guy was sat on the terracing a few yards from me early doors while blowing up his banana. Copper comes over and tells him it's racist and to deflate it or he'll nick him.

60 mins later same Copper stood at the side of the pitch looking at x,000 narnas and scratching his head.

What has any of that got to do with City? You do realise that we're on about INFLATABLE bananas, don't you????

total cock. judging by the immaturity and 100% bollocks of your post you probably weren't even born then.

From what I recall, there used to be just one bloke with a big banana at away games and one day fans just started to sing Imre Banana, in reference to the banana. Imre Banana was chosen as the song, as the Imre Varadi chant fitted and from there it just caught on.

It was all done for just pure fun and we had some cracking away days. Stoke on Boxing day, although we lost, will never be forgotten. Other teams tried to copy, even the Rags began to sell inflatable devil forks, but they didn’t catch on like the bananas. I think it was Grimsby who had a decent cup run and they had inflatable fish, but nothing matched the bananas of City for that season.

As for anyone who claims it was racist, they can f*ck right off!...... the only time race came into it, was at Crystal Palace, where the Police Commander thought it was racist, as he thought we were targeting Ian Wright and Mark Bright..... he couldn’t have been farther from the truth that day.

Another one on the ignore list whose bullshit I no longer have to plough through. Lovely.

He does know a thing or two about racism though.
