Is it me, or are people actually glorifying petty criminals and thugs here ? We'll be talking cockney and watching eastenders next. They seem to have a penchant for the petty thug "up the east end" don't they ? Personally , I think they're all arseholes.<br /><br />-- Wed Apr 02, 2014 1:28 pm --<br /><br />Is it me, or are people actually glorifying petty criminals and thugs here ?

coooool catssssssssssss


Lived next door to Donald in Openshaw in the 90's.

Went on his coaches in the 70's and early 80's


NO RUNNARS (Taken from one of his leaflets)

The coaches went from under Piccadilly Station where he would get the lads off the trains to travel on his coaches.


Truly mental away trips. Not all black lads either.

Free bin bag as you boarded....................guess what for

I think this might have been Leeds v Utd, last game of the season around 81/82 season. There were about 12,000 from Manchester including a lot of City. Most went by train and lots refused the buses back to the station.

yes this happened

This is obviously a bit dim of me but what was the bin bag for????

I'm guessing erotic asphyxiation.

The reality of it all is that it happened and theres a lot of Blues of an age group that although probably were never a fully bona fide hoolie were still nevertheless caught up in scrapes or found themselves on the fringes or in situations where they came across it. Nobody on here that I am aware is acting all Danny Dyer instead are just relating stories or incidents they found themselves involved in, more often the case will have been not of their own making.

Having met a few of these people and even worked for one of the people you are calling an arsehole for a while, two things spring instantly to mind.
1) You are entitled to your opinion but i believe you are wrong. They are not arseholes. Some chose to be leaders, others chose to follow them. It went with the territory at that period of time.
2) I very much doubt you would call them that to their faces, even now.
That's my opinion.

Those who are probably 35 and under possibly don't understand what it was like to follow City in the 1970's and 1980's especially away from home. Nobody is bigging up these people or glorifying in the violence but it happened and it is part of football's history. Even going to watch City at places like Grimsby carried danger, it wasn't just at places such as Leeds, Millwall etc.

A much more measured response than the clown above. I've been in a few scrapes at away grounds but I still think football hooligans are arseholes. To me, anyone who goes out looking for a fight, just for the sake of it or to prove they're hard is an arsehole. And why wouldn't I say it to their faces ? What are they going to do ? Hit me ? Oh yeah. I forgot. They're hard ! Fucking arseholes !

Grimsby was a tough one... believe me!

What's the problem with it? They went looking to fight other people who were looking to fight. It's not like they started kicking the shit out of young kids with their parents.
