wasn't on priory road so can't comment but not surprised there was minor scuffles there as it has always been a notorious place as away fans go back to coaches etc. both clubs have idiots and no doubt there will be similar incidents in the return game as we make our way back to the trains. i always think if you want to avoid it you can but sadly too many young lads want to prove how hard they are by flapping around aimlessly. sadly innocent people will get caught up in it as in the main these are bullies and will go for easy targets.

Good post.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.

lolHighly likely that she is full of shit and like all scousers born liars.
Just the same as when Chelsea fans got attacked out side Liverpool when they beat them on the Gerrard slip game. The scousers tried to make up a story that they had been disrespecting the hillsborough memorial when this evidently wasn't the case. Makes no difference what colours they are the all scousers Blue and Red have been lying since the benefits system started.
I was on the road where this happened as our coach was parked there, it was all basically verbals, a little scuffle and that was that. The police had it all sorted very quickly. The verbals carried on, some was quite funny, stereotypical stuff. They are thieves and we only here because of money stuff.
I do think we are a bit quick on here to slag our own fans, especially the young ones. Some have forgotten what it was to be young and excited it seems.
Some taking the moral high ground I know for a fact were not long ago throwing punches around themselves.

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.
Ha ha. You are not wrong! You would have thought with the stories that all the rags were murderous convicts and our fans church going pillars of the community after reading some of that post Wembley stuff.
