Lol, yeah, i would have been the same ... moving the Haaland shirts in front of the Messi ones.Having just returned from holiday in Spain , the majority of shirts on sale were old Messi tops and Haaland city shirts. Saw very few tops being worn of any clubs but spotted 3 or 4 from City - not a single united top. Youngest lad wore his top a fair amount and not a peep although he is a big lad. Did have an ongoing battle in local shop ensuring the Haaland tops were in front of the Messi ones and trying to explain to the missus why its not a sign of immaturity but a matter of principle.
Thailand ? my mrs is Thai and I'v been many many times and never had any shit, its split 45% rag 45 % scousers and 10 % the rest over there imho. All my inlaws go quiet when I'm there cos they know how important City is to me andOnly place I sensed a little bit of awkwardness was in Thailand - reckon that was some Thaksin-related baggage.
Don't disagree mate - like I say it was just the odd funny look and since it was around the time Thaksin was being jailed so I just put two and two and together (and may have got five)Thailand ? my mrs is Thai and I'v been many many times and never had any shit, its split 45% rag 45 % scousers and 10 % the rest over there imho.

The Thais are non confrontational by their very nature and culture.
that odd funny look,was maybe a silent nod of approval and support,they may have been Issan,thaksins heartland,Don't disagree mate - like I say it was just the odd funny look and since it was around the time Thaksin was being jailed so I just put two and two and together (and may have got five)
I was in Phuket that time but with so many Issan people travelling for work you might well be right. Not as familiar as you to the country but been to Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Samet over the years and loved it.that odd funny look,was maybe a silent nod of approval and support,they may have been Issan,thaksins heartland,

Ok,its always tickled me when they do get the courage to say owt to you ,when they notice your City top,and sayI was in Phuket that time but with so many Issan people travelling for work you might well be right.
