What has been the response from the 'decent' rags?

[Asa's left peg]

Its all very very quiet. My two rag (by marriage) sisters (is judas'ess a word?) and nephews are uncontactable) we were born and brought up near Claremont Road) My two brothers and other sister (married to a Leeds fan) who live abroad - want to come home to really enjoy it!
My only consolations at not being able to rip into them is that one of them is married to a scouser who is, as we speak making her life a misery, and my old man will have stopped turning in his grave and will be laughing himself silly with his old mates in the Lord Lion in the sky!
Life is good - finally.

That's classic

Having family as big united fans...

They are not even proper fans. You wont be suprised to hear they have never been to a game. Just ignore them if they try to talk football. Suppose I'm lucky that I married into another massive City family - they are all basking in the glory at work and home.

You've got seven rag brothers?? Bloody hell Eccles Blue take a bow kidda. Thats a lot of peer pressure to overcome when you were a kid! True blue mate.

What bugs me though is that they are all younger than me!!! Why did they not follow me instead of our Dad??

True mate. I did the opposite and followed by older brother rather than my dad.
Both used to take me to O/T and Maine Road when I was a nipper trying to convert me haha A battle for my soul. Never felt right at O/T even as a little kid though I do have an horrendous early memory of once cheering a Bryan Robson goal. Was going to take that admission to the grave but fuck it I'll share. Was a good goal to be honest and I was only 7.

You should indeed have taken that admission to the grave, and age is no excuse, so I trust you have a loaded pistol to hand, as the shame must be unbearable. Only joking, forty strokes of self flagellation with a barbed wire flail will suffice ;)

My brother supports that lot, he got married the week before the derby so as a nice gesture I got them both yoonited shirts with ‘Just Married’ on the back. They then went off to Mexico for their honeymoon. They arose early in their 5* Mexican suite and put on their nice new shirts ready to watch the match and then ordered room service. What followed was 93 minutes of football humiliation and for my brother to probably then console himself with another 2 minutes of humiliation.

I work with a fair few rags, only one of them ever gives it out tho, so he was the only one I gave it back to. First conversation I only managed to get two jokes in before he cut short the conversation, but in fairness, next conversation I got a stream of like 10 jokes in, some of which he laughed at and repeated to the guy with him, he said fair play, you deserved it. They aren't all bad, just nearly all bad....!

6 blues and 2 reds set out together for the match...few scoops together in the Lime bar..usual banter before hand... and fair play they turned up after wards and I bought them both a pint...it all went well until one of them said they would bite the ear off the next blue to say hard luck!

My nephew decided to get married again on Sunday at 3.oclock so i managed to watch the game in hotel bar up until we were winning 2.0. As soon as the service was done i rushed back to bar to see the score was 1.6 , had to ask the bar staff to double check for me. Went back to the wedding party outside hotel grounds where the groom asked me the score and when i told him he told me to Fuck off , oh i forgot to say he's a rag. My young son who's 9 watched the game with his grandad who is also a rag and who also told my son to fuck off after my lad had finished jumping all over him. Have watched match of the day 3 times with my boy so far and still can't get this silly grin of my face. Being a southern City fan for 42 years now and being surrounded by all these little rags has been hard but god are me and my son enjoying it now.
