Funny I thought the point of this forum was to discuss all things City where the only common factor is our love for the club - wasn't aware that it is actually a little clique where only the chosen will be engaged with and if your not one of "us" then we don't give a f*ck.
The nonsense in response to my OP is breathtaking. A thug threateaned to batter me and apparently:-
- I must have deserved it? Lots of amateur Sherlock Holmes providing this insight without any evidence - thanks for that.
- I deserved it anyway for being a "southerner" (which isn't true - b&b Manc) - which is unbelievable.
- Being criticised for writing to the club - so I should have risked my career and a criminal record by fighting with this guy? Perhaps I was acting like a grown up?
- Being criticised for asking the guy why he was having a go at me and others saying I must have said something to rile him. Guess what I hadn't a clue and wasn't going to shut up just because some thug "asked" me to.
I've had a couple of messages of support which I'm grateful for (including a guy who saw it close up and was gobsmacked at the behaviour of the guy swinging at me attempting to hit me) but I find the general gist of the responses depressing and a sad reflection on this board.
I guess I'll take my opinions elsewhere in future if this is the standard of support here for a lifelong passionate blue.
You say that this is a forum where opinions can be aired, and quite rightly so, but are flouncing out because we didn't all offer our support. Hmmm
If it's an unprovoked attack, then nobody would condone that, but the way you described it sounds like many incidents that happen occasionally at the match. But your desire to stop this guy watching City is a cunt's trick. What if it worked out this other bloke had also complained and you were banned from going to the game? You wouldn't be so thrilled then. Stop being a sneaky snitch and simply write it off as "just one of them"
