Well today put the question of worst fans to bed

[Fordyboy46]

Anyhow, we're obviously at the very forefront of the rags minds, because every song I've heard the rags singing on Wembley Way was about little old City. But but nobody cares

 

[jimharri]

I made this point in an earlier mail.

Stick to a handful of intense, slowish chants or songs to establish a collective involvement and atmosphere that everyone can contribute to.

Starting with The Poznan, that’s what happened yesterday, and it built from putting down that marker early.

The celebratory songs will naturally follow as the game and noise progresses.

I think that we’re at a point now where we have to have a ‘game plan / game management for our atmosphere and choice of chants.

We now should ‘park’ empty seats at home,City’s goin down with a billion in the bank,Edin Dzeko etc and concentrate on We’re not really here,Best team in the land,Na Na Na Na Na naa naaa,Blue Moon etc.

Quality not quantity is the way forward,we set the standard yesterday,let’s build on it.

The Poznan just before the kick off was awesome. I'd love to see a long range panning shot of it.

I wonder what goes through a person's head sometimes. You sit in your house and have a ticket to an historic cup final that your club is playing in. Hmm what to wear? I know I'll get a shirt printed with 97 not enough on the back and wear that. What a great idea, I'm sure I'll have a wonderful day if I do. I'm amazed his own fans didn't kick fuck out of him and rip it off. There again we're talking about rags so maybe not.

come on,lets be honest,a lot of them would have laughed at it and slapped him on the back.What an horrible **** he is,he deserves what he's got coming.

Was on the barrier of segregation and stewards were asking City fans for flags that had been left on the floor and passing them over to United fans to take home which I thought was particularly odd

Was thinking about starting a thread specifically about the chanting yesterday, but I see it's being dealt with adequately in this one.
When our whole end was in sync, yesterday, the noise was simply stupendous. When Gundo's first went in, my ears rang. That's never, ever happened to me before (was not at 13 May, 2012). And it does occur to me, not for the first time, that there may in fact be something wrong with the acoustics at the Etihad. I'm not saying the support is always great, but I've often noticed that even when we're singing the same song, the South Stand and East Stand are out of sync, and effectively singing over and against each other, and when you get part of the CB stand singing as well, but out of sync with the other two, you literally can't work out what's being sung sometimes. It also definitely doesn't help that we're effectively broken up by the presence of a huge away bloc, going right up to third level.
The other thing that yesterday confirmed for is that, for real mass chanting, sorry, but the songs have to remain fairly simple. The “1-2-3-4” song's great for a hundred or so supporters chanting on the concourse and in the stairwells, say (and there was a lot of that yesterday as we were leaving, and it was terrific, big noise on the stairways), but it's actually quite complicated at times.
I'm hoping for big things with the North Stand expansion. It may well improve things considerably. The noise is there — it's just waiting to be unleashed.

This exactly

 

[paulchapo]

He's used the excuse of it being about the 97 points Liverpool got when we beat them to the title. Yeah, OK like a rag would be boasting that City pipped them to the title ffs

Clever get out clause that but why would a rag celebrate that. He's lying but I can't see the cps proceeding with a prosecution here.

 

[Boney]

Was there as it happened. All calmed down and the rags got on their coach to Coventry about 5 minutes later. Police turned up just afterwards. One rag spoken to as he was trying to kick off with blues but most fans mingling well

yeah i was right next to it all seemed start with the pedo on the wing song, initially just banter. then out of nowhere it just kicked off. after the initial kicking off the utd fan with the beard, who was a right unit, took offence to a city fan. then the hand bags started just as i was leaving.

Yep, he can stick to that one then it's his word against the courts. Not sure there's a lot they can charge him for

Yes yes and thrice yes

 

[ysmsa]

Wonder if they were reversible and green n gold for future events?

Future events, ha ha ha good one ;-)

 

[ysmsa]

I'm surprised he got em to print it, unless he's done it himself

Doubt it, spelt right!

 

[Crez]

We were sent to a compound to to check for booze hidden in the hold of the coach . The Brent council Taliban Told us we had to ditch it . Next they pulled a rag coach in . For a potential flashpoint . Not sure what right they have search a coach for alcohol not being consumed in London !

 

[ysmsa]

With his name out there, any other completely innocent person who happens to have the same name (and not necessarily in the same area) needs to watch out… who can forget the attack on a paediatrician’s house/office by them not knowing the difference between that and paedophile… and the fact that it was on a brass nameplate.

As for the real named person… perhaps a short sabbatical away might save him from the chicken wreath layers.

He's called Jimmy White isn't he, ha ha ha.

 

[Segga]

Shout out to the big fella in 141 down the side yesterday. He did an unreal job of keeping an ear out for songs starting behind the goal and going early in time and getting the whole block in sync with the songs.
Great atmosphere yesterday loved it.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

You know what? He's an utter cretin. But I wouldn't wish that on him. He could literally get murdered. People lost loved ones at Hillsborough.

Oh well

yeah but now it's revealed he is a far right neo nazi party suporter then if he gets a shoeing so be it

Transport Act 1980 - Law relating to Football Excursions

The Traffic Commissioners have powers to attach conditions to public service vehicle licences

restricting the carriage of drink on football excursions. British Rail introduced a bye-law to

prohibit the carriage and consumption of drink on specified trains.

The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985

• prohibits the possession of alcohol on the way to matches on football special coaches
  and trains and makes it an offence to be drunk on them
• makes an offence of trying to enter a ground when drunk or in possession of alcohol; of
  possessing or consuming alcohol within view of the pitch during the period of the
  match; or being drunk during the period of the match
• provides the police the power to search someone reasonably suspected of committing
  an offence under the Act, and to arrest such a person: this may include searching
  coaches or trains carrying passengers to or from matches

They’ll be bragging to their half-witted mates how they stole them off City fans they beat up.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Yep, he can stick to that one then it's his word against the courts. Not sure there's a lot they can charge him for

I’ve worked for the courts. If he has a brief with an ounce of ability then he’ll be urged to plead guilty.

It appears to be the same lad but he also has previous for racially motivated arson.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

yeah but now it's revealed he is a far right neo nazi party suporter then if he gets a shoeing so be it

If he gets a good going over I certainly won't be crying. There's just nobody on the planet that I know of that I wish to be stabbed to death.
