Quite a lot missed the first goal, down to the hideous traffic, and then the daft closure of one of the spirals to accommodate 17 spaniards.scorer said:Had a guy behind us arrive 5 mins late and missthe first goal,then left 5mins early and missed the winner....... his loss.
It was too, hahahade niro said:that would destroy me. being there is being part of it, part of the joy of dancing and feeling the same intesity as mancini felt.
brilliant.

Believe it or not the players are aware of the stadium and their surroundings. It is disheartening and potentially detrimental to the team's performance to see a half empty ground when we're pushing for a late winner.
exactly when will these morons learn
Believe it or not this happens at every ground in the country. Is every plaryer disheartened?
How pompous are you to decide what is a 'valid' reason. Unless there's a 'random emergency' do we all have to stand on the car park clapping the stewards off?

Even when we were dog shit in the 3rd tier , myself and my 2 sons stayed to the end , in the vain hope that the team appreciates our support. Maybe if we are a couple of goals clear i can understand a few leaving , but a mass exodus in a champs league game with the game poised at 1-1 , is just baffling , and must be dis-heartening for the team , rant over.
How strange !!
In watching the Blues for 47 years I have NEVER heard of one complaint from any of our Players ref fans leaving early.
Its a myth that they are dis-heartened,otherwise we`d have heard someone complain.

Well ive only watched them for 45 years , so you must so much more fucking knowledgeable than me , simple fact , how can the team be encouraged to get an equaliser when the stadium is half full ,surely a packed stadium makes more noise ,and is more intimidating for the opposition Do you really think any player would complain about the supporters , they would get shit from those supporters for the rest of the season . You can just imagine a player saying" i was very disappointed with the crowd leaving early" world war 3 commences at the etihad. The only "strange" part of my comment is the fact i have to explain the bleeding obvious

But I bet you supported Roy Keane,with his quip about "the prawn buttie brigade" He didn`t give a fuck if he upset some Rag fans.
As I stated,I have NEVER heard of a whinge from a City player about fans leaving early.
In fairness some of our fucking players seemed to have left early last night !!!
Even with a half packed stadium it didn`t appear to do the players any harm as we scored in the 93rd minute,which just shoots your theory way into the sky.
