It's like 'points of view' has taken over the world.
We used to just laugh at the old fuddy duddy that could be arsed putting pen to paper because he saw a bra strap on songs of praise. Now they tweet it, get 10 thousand likes and before you know it Alan Titmarsh is cancelled. Services him right for having a comedy name, the ****.

Surprise surprise! (in a Cilla Black accent).

I did say it in Cilla’s accent:)

So does that cover Utd fans singing these lines in their chants about us?

- Why don't City f### off home
- Build a bonfire, put the City in the middle and burn the f###ing lot
- You're gonna die, cut them down from head to toe etc
- We kill any bastards That get in our way;
- Burn, destroy, wreck and kill, United fans f###ing will,
- With hammers and hatchets, stanley knives and spanners,We'll show the City b*stards how to fight (How to fight).

It's perplexing that chanting "Bobby's in a box" can be deemed such a serious offence by comparison, yet any City fan leaving the South stand into that passage (a small part of the away end does) are subjected to these chants in their faces at every derby at their place?

Perhaps a few blues should film it tomorrow, when they leave, post it on social media, and demand their fans are banned?

Or should we just accept that two children are demonised and criminalised in this way?

Do they really still sing a school children song that we were singing in the 60’s? We used to sing put the teachers in the middle…. Mind you, does it rank as bad as the nursery song they still sing, Nick, nack paddy wack?

It really tickles me when old ladies get his name wrong and call him that:)

I think it's worse than that, they're actually offended on behalf of other people that may not be offended directly themselves.

Wasn’t that what came out with the whole Bernardo farce ..

When it comes to social justice, they're the arbiters of absolute truth.

I think our security staff hate City fans with a passion

“Security” staff are just min wage lackeys who do as they’re told by our much vaunted board.

All Soriano and Khaldoon care about is revenue. They’ve ascertained that Henry and Henrietta types spend more money than your average match going oik and they’ve come to the correct conclusion that Henry and Henrietta and their piano playing offspring don’t like being in the proximity of yobs engaging in “antisocial” behaviour.

And so piece by piece such behaviour is slowly being eradicated much to the detriment of anybody young or anybody young at heart who knows that many of their most fun moments at games involved some harmless fun which is now deemed to be “antisocial” behaviour by the ubiquitous woke snowflakes.

That Faustian pact we made where we traded fun for unparalleled success becomes harder and harder to be happy about with each passing year. Is dominating English football and having incredible highs like QPR and beating the rags in a cup final enough to offset the sense of frustration and abandonment that we as blues get now that we don’t feel part of the city family and don’t feel loved or valued anymore ?

You’ll make your own mind up but every time something like this happens we love City a little bit less and that’s no way to feel the day before a derby.

People are far too easily offended these days. It’s actually pathetic.

Fuck off you ****. ;)

Great post mate, and we obviously don't like upsetting other fanbases as well hence no scouser being identified for that incident far worse than a nasty chant, which could've resulted in a death. I'm with you, our club absolutely stinks at times

‘Ordinary’ bad language doesn’t bother me. Obviously homophobia and racist language does and luckily I’ve very rarely heard it home or away here or abroad.
Maybe it’s my face (ok my age!!) but a lot of the time when people know I’ve heard ‘ordinary’ bad language they say ‘Sorry Eccles’ or EB. I ALWAYS respond by saying ‘Don’t apologise, as long as you don’t expect or try to make me swear I don’t mind’.
And I really don’t mind at matches because that’s where we let off steam. :-) if you met me in the street or in a social situation you would think I was a quiet, inoffensive old lady. But listen to me yell ‘ get your hands off our player you stupid so and so’ or ‘Get back in your technical area you Pep wanna be’ and you probably need to wear muffling headphones!!

Football is where I let off steam the same as any football fan!! I only offend ears with noise not ‘bad/poor’ language. *lol*
So why would I be offended when others are letting off steam if they are only swearing?
It’s FOOTBALL and I’m watching THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Sorry if I offend anyone. :-) :-)
