Throwing the placards on the pitch

[mcfc1632]

I have the utmost respect for our club and our owners, I didn't throw paper myself as I was on the other side of the South Stand, but I'm sure our owners will get over a little fine! To be honest, bar the last minute winner, that was the most entertaining part of the game. The fact that we are being fined anyway beggars belief, seeing as Napoli fans can go around stabbing people and not have to worry about getting their club in the shit!

I'll say it again, get over it, it doesn't affect you does it?

I'm sure our owner will get over a little fine? Chelsea got caned for £85k for chucking shit. Now while £85k is like 10p to me to these guys it's not that fucking long ago that was the most we could afford for a fucking player.

It's indicative of the attitude that we don't give a fuck about our owner having to pay "little fines" so "we" can have a fucking right good laugh.

That's by the by. I'm more pissed off that even after two fucking announcements, pleading with them to stop. They didn't. Give a fuck.

As for Napoli...as I posed in another thread I'm sure you've read as it's about the same shit...

They don't go round stabbing people in the ground. Just like we wouldnt be in the shit with UEFA if our new "a4 firm" had been chucking it about in Piccadilly Gardens.

This isn't about us getting treated worse than Napoli, it's about us getting in mither for moronic fucking actions of people who get a massively disproportionate laugh out of nursery school shit and don't give a fuck when asked not to do it. Just like they don't give a fuck when they are asked / told not to do other shit.

My fucking three year old stops when she's told. Did they think the club were fucking joking with them when they said at HT the ref was going to report it to UEFA or did they not give a shit?
I wonder which.

Well said - the bit I have highlighted is key!! - What do UeFA do???

Are they suppposed to send a delegation to review the tickness of the paper? maybe weigh it or check the edges for to see if they are of a keeness that might cause paper cuts

Of course not - they will do what is their policy and treat is as throwing missiles - the club warned the fans twice - they were not ambiguous they were clear that the club will get into trouble and the FUCKWITS could not give a fuck

I mean it is not as if our owner, our management etc have gone out of their way recently to do things that deserve some respect and restraint from fans is it

Also - people (rightly IMO) get pissed off at all the early leavers and how that detracts from the atmosphere - well for a while there when we were a goal down in the CL and could really do with a 12th man these fuckwits were more interested in throwing paper - and then of course being macho babies the competition had to lead to 'lets see who can get it onto the pitch!!' - fuckwits

Was the first announcement in the half time break.

I didn't hear it, and would imagine half of the crowd in the concourses and spirals didn't either.

I was surprised it took them so long to make an announcement in the 80 something minute.

Was just before the players came out second half. It said the referee had informed the club if the throwing of objects onto the pitch did not cease he would report it to UEFA and the Club would face sanctions.

The ground was fairly full at the time.

The inititial throwing of the paper balls amongst the crowd was fine. But once they were being thrown at the officials and Villareal players it must have been obvious that it would lead to trouble. The fact that some fans continued even after two warnings suggest unfortunately that some of have our fans suffer from severe learning difficulties.

From the picture someone posted on here it looked pretty naff anyway. There isn't a club out there that can compete with what City have to offer pre-match, so why do we need to piss about with pieces of bloody paper, who are we trying to impress.

40 plus pages on and this post sums up what exactly the problem is.

It was funny at first when everyone started throwing them around the ground but when that Villareal player got pelted and i saw a few head towards the official that stands on the goal line, you never know in Europe they could easily of given us a point penalty or god knows what.

Someone behind me summed it up when they said "they need to stop doing that we'll get fined or sommat" then some knobhead piped up and said "the club shouldn't of give them it should they of then."

As if grown men need telling not to throw bits of paper at other people, even the kids enjoyed the show at the start and then they were wondering why people were throwing bits of paper around... KIDS!

 

[york away to this!]

few years ago at a test match at old trafford, towards the end of a sunny and boozy day there was a kind of "throw newspapers up in the air" mexican wave thing that was running round and round the ground - huge piles or paper going up in the air, fookin hilarious and they had to stop the game and tell everyone to stop being so childish.....

next time......

No point continuing this thread - waste of time and energy. If you need to explain to people why throwing stuff (paper, card, whatever) on the pitch after being repeatedly asked not to is a bad idea, you are wasting your breath. They are just not going to get it - ever. This sort of 'knowing your rights but not your responsibilities' is evident in nobheads everywhere, even in blues unfortunately. You can tie yourself up in knots frustrated that they cannot see common sense and the consequences if their idiotic behaviour. At the end of the day you just need to accept that some people are just not very bright. I just hope the club identifies them and bans them. They embarrass me and embarrass Manchester City.
