As a Catholic myself coming from a completely catholic background ( housing estate,school,etc ) during my early days as a city supporter ( 1967-68 season ) most of the kids of my age were celtic supporters closely followed by rag bastards,i cant ever remember teams being supportrd for religious reasons ( except of course celtic,rangers ) as far as the filth supporters that i knew off , the big reason for their support was that drunken **** best followed by their dads passing on the Munich disaster story.In the 70's the fuckers pretty much kept their lice infested heads down,but as jim states during their successful years this place was hell on earth for city fans.You had to be made of strong stuff to be a blue in ragland in the bad old days,but when the good days returned by god it was and remains so sweet.I work in a building with 500 people and i am the only city fan in it,that will give you some idea how infested we are with scum sucking cunts over here,but hear this......i know of only one other city fan within 20 miles of me,the both of us over the last few seasons have been to dozens and dozens of games including cup finals at Wembley,but not one scum sucker in that filth infested building that i work in has EVER been to a game at old toilet."Your honour i rest my case for the prosecution"
