I was working nights onboard the ship so I had a few hours sleep and woke up to follow events on sky sports which we got onboard. I had a tv in the cabin and lay in darkness, still half asleep watching the scores updates. Totally gutted then had to get up to do my 12 hour shift. After being in the mess room having something to eat for a few minutes a group of the lads came in, stood in a line all wearing black armbands they had made the bastards lol!
In the corner a group of plastic rags were taking the piss so I got up and confronted them. I said I would take stick off any one of them that had been to old Trafford. Silence, not one. I then said the same, the provision being any one who had actually seen united play live. Total silence. The whole mess room was watching. I said, " I follow my team everywhere and have been to old Trafford and seen united play live more times than you lot put together. I have a season ticket and I will have one next year and will still support them if we are playing in the bloody Sunday league! That's what being a football fan is about, not watching it on the box glory hunting you rag c*****s!!!" The whole mess room stood up and cheered except for these sheepish muppets who then looked like I felt inside, sick.
Dark days I hope we never suffer them again.
