Parents are big Duran Duran fans maybe?

I wanted to quote about five posts to say great story.
My daughter tries to rib me by saying she's changing teams, but then will ask me for a new City shirt. As soon as the Nike boycott ends my dear, I tell her. :-)

How old is the kid. Could be early signs of rebelling.
There's a kid in my young lads class who follows City, even though his Dad is a Rag fan. Supported them from a very early age too. (He's 13 now)
I always regarded him as a very bright lad with a great future ahead of him.
My young fella, was about 7 years old when he decided, after being given out to by me and suffering some punishment that I can't remember, that in protest he would start to follow 'Man Utd.' as it was the only threat he could think of.
I calmly said to him that, that was perfectly al-right. He was free to make up his own mind and could support anyone he wanted.
I then added that he would have to leave home though and I would make up a bag for him and some sandwiches to send him on his way.
He got as far as the garden gate and waited for a while. He then came in and said he had changed his mind.

When the Mong gave up As Jack was a blue now despite Stuart Pearce's best attempts to scramble his mind. I diary noted. When said Mong was 50 I bought him a cheap of the market in Spain City shirt, Wannabee printed on the back, I presented it to him in front of the whole family and his rag mates, fucker was close to tears with rage. Older brother speechless. He threw it at me and well made a rag of himself. I have had it framed for his 60th.
Good present. I'm quite excited to hear how he takes it. Is it soon?

When we were kids me, my brother, my mum, and my dad all had season tickets in the kippax. I'd like my brother and his kid and me and my kids to all go watching City in the future and if anything is done to try and change that I'll be fuming!

I suppose I should've named my kids "Bed" and "Couch".

How do you think Van Morrison got his name?
branny wrote:I actually owned a rag shirt at one pount during my less affluent student days. It was around 1987 and whilst at college i worked part time at Tesco and was probably clearing £25 for £16 hrs work which was received and pretty much spent on the Saturday night.
I started having a kick about with some of the lads i worked with. The numbers grew and so did the competitive nature of the games and a bout of shirt pulling ended up with the sleeve hanging off a decent Adidas t- shirt. I was also without a,oroper pair of boots. Bollox to this i thought and as funds were low i headed to the local sports shop in search of a bargain. First thing i clocked as i walked in was a huge rail of blue rag 1985 shirts for a fiver. Bought one as i wasn't arsed what happened to it and of course being a,blue i was rightly targeted for much abuse at the next kickabout. The following week i went to Cheetham hill market and got me self a City shirt minus sponsor for £8 and a pair of boots but the rag shirt episode rates as one of my biggest fuck ups.
