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

All the trolls are Ric's bot accounts mate and it's how he manages to scoff more than just Ritz crackers on the yacht.

Fair play if you're serious - I can understand and empathise with the points you've made.

But I couldn't imagine City playing and not caring about the result. Or hearing we've bagged and not wanting to see it.

It's like a religion, not something you can just tune out of. IMO

If I said goodbye to City I may as well be dead. Fight the bastards. If it’s getting to you come off blue moon. Fuck Sky and BT off get IPTV with the sound off when we play. It will pass.Remember the club say that they are confident I believe them. Now is the time to get behind the lads

Why let the bastards win?

You have valid points but have too much time served to be hounded away by fanboys and in a game we are still winning, despite their best efforts.

You will feel better for stop reading shit about the Club and watching Sky.

Without City I would feel empty, I look forward to seeing them too much.

OP no way you wont keep an eye on it at least u big tart:) im startin to feel younger with the battle again but know what you mean elder

As my old teacher used to say "Don't let the bastards grind you down"

My old teacher used to say 'Now pull your shorts up, and dont you breathe a word of this to anyone'

Your saying is probably more apt now I come to think of it.

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.

I am with you a lot of the way, but won't give up on city. Sky tv is getting binned though.

That’s what it’s like but bloody hell the joy has been squeezed out of the game.

This is exactly what they want. They have been dragging our name through the mud on a daily basis for years because they are scared shitless that the kids will grow up to be Blues.

They want us to fuck off.

 

[Barcon]

They want us to fuck off.

That'll be the charges against us. The rest of the mud slinging won't make us fuck off but it might stop a few rats jumping ship.
