Whats this all about then? Spitting?

Just seen some Everton slag on Facebook write that City were singing about the Paris attacks before the game?????

Can anyone enlighten me on this please? If that is untrue, what would even go through someone's head to spread such bile over social media.


Theres a really wank song about Sagna that references the Paris attacks/Jihadi John
 
It's amazing how things get blown out of proportion!
I walked past that little scene in the video just as it was starting and it reminded me of boisterous children in the school yard. Pretend fighting, sort of jumping on the spot, arms outstretched shouting 'come on then' while a couple your mates theatrically hold you back. Absolutely ridiculous.
It was City fans, well more like fucking idiots to be fair, who were 'starting' it and the Everton bloke it seemed to be aimed at looked a bit embarrassed for these lads and not one bit intimidated.
All a bit silly and pathetic really. What really pisses me off though is some equally stupid scousers will probably end up chinning some random City fan in the return as some kind of twisted revenge.
 
never saw any trouble at all and was chatting to city fan in the grapes at 2am. in fairness thousands of either supporters in the opposition city will always have the potential for trouble. looking forward to the second leg and an afternoon/evening on the ale in manchester
Enjoy it mate, should be a top day out for all you scouse so and so's!

Meh, its just an example of how easily influenced people are by social media and clickbait news articles which are written purely for the ad revenue.

As we've established from many eyewitnesses, it was playground handbags and I've seen far worse at a children's creche.
 
Despite walking up that road and seeing nothing, I'd bet my house that the "City fans spat on a woman" line is a classic, common-or-garden British lunge for the moral high ground.

The incident will have started with some singing/verbals and escalated into a bit of handbags. Somebody might have spat, or thrown the contents of a can or something, and of course what your standard Brit does is this: think of the worse-case-scenario for moral outrage, and leap at it. So if a woman, or kids, were in the vicinity, and they will have been, point them out and say "There's a woman here!" and act all outraged. Then the story is simply and quickly spun to "City fans were spitting on women".

Moral Highgrounding. The English Disease. After people have spun it and repeated it, they generally start to believe it, too. The other week I went for a piss at half time in the top tier bogs in the Colin Bell Stand. Usually loads of people stand down the spirals having a fag. The club have obviously had enough because they'd put temporary barriers up, manned by stewards. Some bloke was absolutely gobbing off to these stewards "What if there's a fire? This is illegal! What if there's a mass evacuation? Get the manager here now!" and all this. He just wanted his fucking half time fag, but he'd immediately and instinctively adopted the moral high ground and wasn't budging from it. Everyone's at it to try to get their own way.
 
To be fair our tune was a little different when United spat on and attacked women and children after the league cup game. Now I have no idea if either are true but we shouldn't be so quick to judge and call 'all scousers born liars' when the majority of us have no idea what went on.
