Because many people have invested so much of their time and energy into being the number 1 Rag hating Blue. And they need to express it on here at every opportunity. It's like opening a vent. Take that away and they end up watching Bake off, or kicking the cat.
I work in Manchester with match going blues, (some of them are on here) and have done all of my working career. I have never heard them utter much of the distasteful stuff that is sometimes posted on here. I would say that 90% of City fans are sound, and a small minority drag them down. I can see that Ric and the Mods are trying to stimulate some form of a conversation on here, but it's always diminished by the few, while the many good posters on here fade into the shadows or log off. Shame.
Very good post.
I have read many interesting and sensible posts from both City and United fans on the forums. Sadly I have also seen the utter rubbish and pathetic digs at each other written by both sides.
To Ric and the Mods....is it now time for two United threads (I say with a smile on my face).....a United thread for sensible comments and discussion and a United thread for all the distasteful stuff mentioned by 'shallyman' above.
I suppose that this is not possible but at least I gave it a try.....haha!!!.
