The Positives

[theres only one carlito]

Like the abomination that is VAR and the joy it has ripped from a goal scored, not to mention the helping hand it’s given many a team against us. I see no positive in watching City knowing any victory can retrospectively be taken away. It’s like one massive long VAR call, again to help out opponents. Fukin done with it. They have taken any passion I had for the game and my team and trampled all over it with the press pack hyenas dancing around the remains. The game is bent and that’s the truth. I get no joy out of a competition that’s rigged.

Hard to see how this week's news could possibly lead to an upturn in our form on the pitch

Siege mentality

 

[Lavinda Past]

Elite / PL football is utter shite. Rotten, stinking, and riddled with greed to the core.

Football is dead. Has been since 1992.

I, and many others, have for years been hanging on to the names and histories of wonderful, local football clubs, believing that, as fans, we may actually still mean something to those clubs. Believing that we were still a valued part of our club.

But we're not. We're just replaceable customers, little puppets taking up seats that owners would much prefer to be filled by customers who spend more money every week, and are happy to throw money away on three or four replica kits and countless 'souvenirs' every season.

Football isn't fun any more. Multi millionaires diving around, feigning injury, moaning at match officials, and generally setting poor examples for increasingly gullible, celebrity influenced children and youths.

The passion has gone. The fire has gone. The atmosphere left years ago. Football is a very pale imitation of the game I grew up with.

Killed by TV, gambling and excessive greed.

Siege mentality

I actually find that very amusing.

Do you honestly for one minute believe that the multi millionaire players genuinely care as much about the club as the fans?

They're not going to worry about charges etc. They're here for the money. If City get relegated or even fail to qualify for the CL, the big names will be off in seconds. It's a job for them.

Passion and rebellion is for fans. Don't be fooled into thinking players, club officials and owners have the same mentality.

Siege mentality in the stands is all well and good, but if it isn't replicated on the pitch, it's no more than a bit of noise.

To be fair, the Dippers buy into it now and again. Bet yeah, relying on our lot to feed off the fans at best.

Football is still fun, it's all the rest of the shit that isn't. Don't let the opposition take away your love for the game of football and for City. In the most part i feel the real fans of other teams know we are being stitched up, don't take note of the media and opposition fans on social media. We all need our big boy pants more than ever, fans, players and management team.

The bias is the problem with TV, if we continue to be successful and ourfanbase grows we can expect more of our players to represent us on the media sphere and the media bias to switch to a more positive spin on things.

I do agree with you about the cartel influence and betting syndicates/ corruption. The LOTG and VAR in its current mode is unacceptable, referee standards are staggeringly poor to the point it seems stage managed.

It wasn't meant to be amusing, I'm hearing too many people saying they are giving up, if you love something you fight for it!

Some fans love City more than others, as will be the same with the players.

What's certain though, if you give in you've already given the scum clubs a victory

STAND FREE!

No doubt it is just a job to many, but not to all.
KdB screaming “Yes, yes, yes” as
he came off the pitch at the end of the Villa game;
Sergio in his retirement speech, his voice cracking, “Everybody knows how I feel about City”; guys like Buzzer and Skip still here after 50 years; Mike Doyle who loved City with a passion; Jack with the boy suffering from cerebral
palsy ; and many more.
Not everyone is a heartless automaton.

I think it's really sweet that you believe that players love the club.

I'm not saying any of them are heartless, just that they are very unlikely to 'love' the club. Certainly not as a supporter would. Men like Mike Doyle are a thing of the past, and even he preferred a game of golf over a City match in his retirement years.

I think it’s really shit that you are so cynical.
