I've just called in at Clarkes , shoe shop by the way and not Frank's, and behind me at the counter is a fellah wearing a top with a Rag crest. I couldn't resist! Not very good last night, I sez, Oh, the anguish, the despondency and sheer bewilderment were too much to verbalise anything sensible, but the woman on the other side of the counter womanning the till sez she's a season ticket holder at that place, and the two of them have a conversation about how useless Lumpaku is and how they both have little time for FakeRon these days. When there was a break in the general bile for all things Raggy, I said that I wouldn't mention how my team got on. Oh, yer one of those stupid blues, are yer, she sez. Not so stupid these days, I say!!

We are turning into United fans by the second.

No no no.....we are just giving back a little bit of what we had to endure during our thirty five years in the wilderness. Trust me this is mild to what those fuckers gave us. At least we haven't started a club approved countdown clock banner yet.

That is an example of arrogant gobshite behaviour though, we claim we are nothing like them yet starting to behave like them. Do it with mates but don't turn into a wanker on the streets wanting to talk football and take the piss out of random people. Nothing worse when I was growing up, i'd have my City stuff on proud as punch and you'd always get sad United fans who you don't know with shitty comments. Let them dwell in their own misery, fair play to the guy for showing colours, them twats tend to hide after a loss.

I get your point Tom and being a bit older these days I have mellowed a bit so tend to just enjoy our success and great football and gloat on their misery in private. The thing is we suffered so much shit from these tossers over the years I also fully endorse any Blue's that want to give it them large, they deserve it.

I am the same, I couldn't give a toss about them anymore and barely even look out for their scores. My mates who support them aren't bad for Utd fans and even when they were good they wasn't your usual know it all gobshite, it is probably why I feel the way I do now. My point mainly being giving it large to a random person on the street, someone decent enough to show colours after a defeat and someone for all the guy knew could be a decent red who didn't lord it over City the last decades. Maybe he did and he deserved it but for me it is United behaviour. Two wrongs don't make a right, we claim we are classy fans. Turning into arrogant gobshites isn't classy.

Deary me, as a 53 year I've taken plenty of crap over the years off their fans. Have you forgotten how we were referred to as ickle citeh, the banner, the not in my life time, the noisey neighbours comments and all the other crap they spouted. The decades of piss taking yet you pontificate over other people's behaviour towards them. If you don't agree then fine but don't constantly pull blues over it and accuse them of behaving like rags. Take a day off.
All part of life's kaliedescope of colour.

It is behaving like a rag though. You are basically saying they have done it to us so we can do it to them? So that is behaving like them is it not? I'm just happy with the misery they are getting watching their team and the manager they have. That's enough for me, I'm not interested in having a pop at a stranger who's just out and about shopping

Ask any of your rag mates they will tell you it was just banter. I say that's all I am doing just banter
 
I was watching the game in a local bar student bar with my daughter last night.

Half the place had our game on, the other half theirs. Rag's fans outnumbered us around 70/30, but we were making more noise. The cheer that went up when they conceded was great. Some young lad in a Rag shirt sat nearby put his hoodie back on soon after and covered up the sh*t shirt he was wearing.

They can dish it out as the saying goes.......

Each to their own, as I've said people are justifying it saying it is ok because they done it to us. Makes us the same level as them that's all. Have a laugh with your mates, take the piss. Don't let them forget, I just find it weird and a bit shit doing it to a random person that's all.

Either way I am sure we are all in agreement that we can all enjoy their downfall together.

It's not behaving like a rag. It's behaving like a fan.
It's behaving like a friendly person having a bit of a giggle with a person during the course of the day.
In short, it's perfectly acceptable behaviour.
It really, really is.
And it's certainly not arrogance or gloating.

I'm far from the "it's PC gone mad" gang, jumping on everything, everywhere, these days but, mate... lighten up, for Jaysus sakes. What's the point of it if we can't have a laugh and a slag about it?

Tom you're missing my point. Which is each to their own.
I'm not one to ram it down a rags throat how shit they are but I also don't need to chastise fellow blues when they choose to.
 
Never been anything wrong with banter and piss take between fans. Any fans. The banner thing was different because it was approved by the club. Didn't mind the United lot taking the piss, don't mind City fans doing it now. It's football, not a discussion on ethics.
