Why I'm giving up on football, City and Bluemoon

I would say part of this is because of the constant scrutiny the club always seems to be under,it becomes draining and you end thinking no not again,but this is precisely what they want fans/supporters to become totally fed up with it all and start moving away from the club,other factors like VAR and the incompetent/biased refs also push you over the edge towards giving it up..The game has changed now for the worst and it will only go further that way..I will still be backing the club regardless whatever happens with the premier league witchhunt,but one thing is guaranteed if we do win through it will only be a short while before something else crops up to try and stop us ..

So this is my last post. 55 years after my first match seeing City. 10 years a season ticket holder 1985 to 1995 until work and family took me too far away. I was there in 2012 and was there for that Tuart goal. Been to many but not all recent cup finals.
I have been vocal about VAR, CAS and FFP.
So, today I have decided I have fallen out of love with this game, the trolls on this forum and the corruption hiding in plain sight both financial and governance. Refereeing and game manipulation and arguing the toss with morons and hypocrites.
My passion has faded with each passing year of vested interest interference, press compliance and journalistic spite.
And, yes, VAR has killed my excitement. Thank God we didn't have to wait for it in 2012. A moment that will never be repeated again in football history.
In truth, this has been coming for a while. I will sign off and find a new passion. City are not to blame. I watched football for the fun and passion. I now know more about global politics, financial compliance and sports governance than I do about our own under 18s. Something has gone drastically wrong with the game.
Our own forum has also become raggish and dipperish, misogynistic and trolled by posters who don't even support the club... And then the fans who love certain players rather than the club. Yes I'm old and I won't be missed but I already feel better letting go. Good luck fighting the good but ultimately doomed battle.
Thanks City for the best and worst times of my life but life is too short.

That’s what they want

I might go back to being a Chelsea fan, or I might check the season ticket prices at Newcastle

Yep
agree with a lot of that ,but,
my 15 year old has balls
and when i told him he'd be out the fucking
door if he chose them or went astray,
he knew i meant it

his reaction to all of this " fuck them dad "

CTID doesn't come cheap.
 
I fully get the feeling and I have not read every response but add the cost, the stupid kick off times, champions league supporters filming everything that moves, the shit we get on social media, VAR, shit refs, pundits who do fuck all research and pluck what they have read on twitter as there expert opinion and it makes you think.

Then I remember the moments and not even the big ones recent games beating the dippers, Spurs, Aresenal and it’s still worth it.

Stop being a fanny wipe
 
Doesn't feel right to make an analogy about the war which is of course a much more serious matter, but just like Russia wants the West to tire and turn their backs on Ukraine eventually, the establishment wants us to tire and stop supporting City. I have almost lost faith myself and it's been going on since the first season with VAR, but doesn't feel right to stop now. I'm sure justice will prevail and City will come out on top of this.
