Throwing the placards on the pitch

[ultimateharold]

To be fair, let's say x amount of people were throwing them.
Then the tannoy, it was more like 5% of x after the announcement.

Only because they'd thrown it all by then. Given an endless supply of paper I imagine they'd still be there throwing it at any planes that flew over.

Disagree, ever played a Playstation game and got bored of it?

Even the worst video game is more interesting than 'frowing papah innit'

was funny.

don't like it, go support macc town or some other two-bit family club.

hope the ones moaning are the ones who got a paper concorde stabbed in the back of their heads.

The throwing at each other was - they did something similar with beer trays at Old Trafford - cricket not the shit hole - and it looked great and wa just harmless fun.

Surely you can see that UEFA will not consider throwing objects - they won't see it as just harmless paper balls - at a player who is taking a corner and an official as harmless fun. You know what they're like especially with English clubs - we'll be lucky not to get a fine or possibly more.

That's my point though, people get bored of everything. Especially something as mundane as throwing paper! Personally I didn't see the need to throw paper to entertain myself, the match entertained me enough. But this thread is an overreaction, it's a nothing thing. It's something that would be forgotten about by tomorrow, barring the existence of this thread prohibiting that.

A fine likely

that was very immature thing, I thought it doesn't happen on English pitches anymore

 

[SouthStandStander]

i must admit. using the free elastic band to make a mini catapult with my fingers was genius. proper A-Team stuff. :)

 

[robsta]

Yeah UEFA will do us for fans throwing pieces of paper whilst ignoring Bayern fans getting stabbed in Naples.

If you want the people who threw paper tonight banned then you'll be banning hundreds and including all ages. I know it's not right, particularly with the Villarreal players taking corners but come on it was paper. Everyone across Europe gets way with setting off flares and all sorts.

 

[malg]

Throwing it at each other before kick off was pretty funny. Throwing it at a Villarreal player taking a corner is stupid. Oh, and it wasn't just a few, there was a lot being thrown at him. Tits.....and City may well think that if this is what happens when they give us one full end and have a party atmosphere, then it's something they don't need.

 

[Cassius Clayson]

congratulations on missing the point

a bit of paper was thrown so fu*king what ? last year everyone thought the tickertape was a great idea

congratulations on being told you've missed the point but continuing to miss the point regardless

HAHAHAHA!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Wasnt there tonight, but against Napoli there was these mesh nettings up behind the goal, werent they there tonight?

 

[citysince88]

Disgusting, I mean it was raining those paper balls could of got soggy and I'm sure some on here will agree that the damage a soggy paper ball can do is horrific.

 

[tonygt123]

Well done for making us look like cunts.

I guess some people thought it was piss funny

correct - arseholes, was pissing me off no end

Get a fucking life knobhead

They weren't, and I know because so many of our shots flew into the South Stand.

Stop getting torn up over a bit of paper being thrown people. Too mulch is being made from this issue when its run of mill stuff at football stadiums across the country. I did notice people crumpling after the announcement but it was plane sailing after the goal.

On a serious note calling throwing paper 'Anti Social Behaviour' after what was experienced in the city center earlier this year is a bit of an over exaggerated statement. asbos for throwing paper bloody nanny state rubbish you all buy into.

The stewards and showsec deserve a bit more than paper throwing at them, and they didn't help the situation by goading the fans at half time and that's exactly what some were doing around 108, 109, 110. Stewards need to sit down, shut up and observe, thats it. Only intervene if necessary. That or expect half the 1st tier to turn on you fast, its already happening.

 

[city51]

Braindead twats that's all

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Have we become this serious and emotional? I was having a right laugh when it was happening, its a piece of paper ffs. At the time we were potentially out of Europe but I still managed to get a good chuckle from it. Back to the good ole days it was, with blow up bananas and masks.

For what its worth I thought last year with the air horn at opposition corners needs to come back.

 

[Freestyler]

i think it started just to launch them at showsec and the photographers.

unfortunately we have a childish bunch who also found it amusing to throw it at players.

one actually clipped aguero as he warmed up.

Uefa dont take action for things outside the stadium, stabbings can happen in a City without being related to the football game.

I think Uefa will try and take actions to stop objects, (whether paper, coins, bottles or whatever?), being thrown on the pitch which may effect the game which they are trying to control.

What was really stupid tonight IMO was the fans who ignored the warnings coming from the ref over the loudspeakers at half time. There seemed to be an increase in the number of things thrown on the pitch rather than at the stewards. I genuinely wondered if they were actually City fans or just yobs looking to cause the most trouble.

A spuds mate of mine watching it turned to me and tutted... "act like you've been there before". Cheeky twat! had a point though, it was pretty pathetic.

 

[Santiago Street]

It's a sad indictment of the gentrification of football that a few youngsters having a laugh throwing PAPER BALLS around merits a censorious p.a. announcement

Pathetic.
