Can't post the link from my tablet, but read last night a United fan died after being assaulted by a couple of City fans in town following a row over football. Nobody been caught yet according to the report, (which was in last nights MEN). A father of 4. Absolutely fucking shit, that.
RIP that man, and let's hope the shit heads who ran off after decking him get caught.
That. Over football. *shakes head*

tayally agree.

whoever has done this is a disgrace.
whoever you are stay away from city. we dont want you.

i think its pretty obvious that nobody could expect the guy to die but football isn't even worth a single punch, fight or whatever.

the bloke who died was a red and a proper decent bloke, his son is best pals with my nephew (9 yrs old) that lovely kid has lost his dad to a stupid row.....tragic, rip pal, hope the "city fan" gets his justice
lived at the end of our kids road in Monton

Terribly tragic.

I hate them as much as anybody, but as has already been said, it's only a game and no one should ever lose their life over football.

R. I. P.

How do I start a new thread, because what I'm about to say deserves a thread of it's own, basically I believe Sir Alex Ferguson should be stripped of his knighthood.

Let me explain, I just read a small piece in my paper - where Nicky Butt claims SaF made him pull out of England friendlies. There was no attempt to say injury was to blame, he was just told: "You have an England friendly coming up, and you're not going". Now I'm not saying England would have won something between '92 and '04 (when Butt was a player), but it would surely have helped the manager build a team, without this type of sh1t going on behind the scenes. Sir Bobby Charlton I get, Sir Geoff Hurst ditto, but why the f*ck is there a SIR Alex Ferguson???

P.S. If Scotland vote 'Yes' next week, can we deport him?

P.P.S. I actually came online to put this on Rag Cafe, but they have banned me, yet again: serious sense of humour issues over there.

I heard from a very reliable journalist years ago that Neil Webb was dropped and sold when he contacted England to tell them he was fit, after being withdrawn from the squad by ferguson.

I'm guessing that your journalist friend never actually saw Neil Webb play for United. If he had, he'd know that the real story is how in fuck's name Webb was even in the England squad.
You haven't sussed out that it is PRECISELY the reason he played for the Rags that he got into the England squad?

Me and a friend were talking about the number of players who, had they not played for the Rags, would get anywhere near the England squad. Just a few names to start with - feel free to add more.

Bill Foulkes
Mike Duxbury
Brian Greenhoff
Stuart Pearson
Webb
Mike Phelan (called up the day he signed for them)
Phil Chuckle
Tom (Zidane) Cleverley
Phil Jones
Zaha
Smalling
Wellbeck
etc ad nauseam

Just a VERY small selection of the many who have gone on to (ahem) distinguished England careers, with the media fawning over them because of this. And, of course, when players of clubs (such as City, in paticular, James Milner) are mentioned, it is usually in a derisive manner.

I will also never forget the comments of Billy Bingham, the former Norn Iron manager, who said of Sammy McIlroy "If he's good enough to play for M...... U...... , he's good enough to play for NI".

Says it all, really.

Don't forget Alex Stepney who astonishingly won caps in an era that included Banks, Bonetti, Westof and Shilton.




PS: for what it's worth, I'd like to add my name to the condemnation of the killing of that Utd lad too.

I always thought Neil Webb was a really good player.

The case for the Prosecution against every other over hyped piece of crap United player listed "rests" with a smug, knowing grin.

That utter piece of shite; Pearson was given more caps than Joe Royle and the king of all geordies put together.
 
Just had a look on ragcafe for the first time in weeks. I haven't seen them this animated since "why always me"
They are furious about home grown Uefa ruling. Its a joy to read.

it is quite predicable how the ill informed can jump onto a badly written article and animation always follows...
 
I've just read on Eurosport that the new Stan Laurel is out for up to a month with a hamstring injury.

That should improve the rags' chances of winning a few games!

tbh he has been their only decent defender so far. I guess they have two new ones (Rojo, Blind) who can play there now though.

But that doesn't explain the greatest British manager ever, Cloughie, not receiving ones he was well-known for his socialist principles and openly supported the miners in their strikes in both the 1970s and 1980s.

In my view, there's only one reason why Busby and GPC were knighted and none of the others was; the club they managed.

Alistair Cambell got bacon face his knighthood. He's a close friend of the gpc.

I stand corrected. Campbell's also a fucking rag isn't he?

Either way, the twat didn't deserve it.

Campbells a Burnley fan.
