In heaven there's supposed to be RIVERS of wine...do you really think he would be bothered about watching the match?

I don't believe there is any room for the sort of sick chanting from both sets of supporters today. Don't get me wrong, I feckin hate the Mancs, but two wrongs don't make a right and the shouts of "are you watchin' Georgie Best" were out of order. I don't want to comment on what their fans were singing, because they don't interest me - I'm proud of our fans 99% of the time, but we do let ourselves down at times like today - we should rise above it in my opinion.

Old hatreds dont go away, you should know that. And it's on both sides. If we didn't have these games, the atmosphere would be like last week.

It was different when they were managed by one of our old captains. Fierce rivalry's one thing, but Fergie introduced sheer hatred to the fixture.

The hatred was there long before that drunken t*** arrived.

Nah, that's revisionism. We've hated them far longer than that.

 

United have some cn*ts for fans, so do we. I wish we would get past polishing our halos all the time.

They let us out because they look forward to what goes on outside. Only those who go there know what we mean. You run a gauntlet every time you go there, women and kids are not immune either. The Manc coppers just stand there and let the United fans do and say what they want and as soon as we retaliate in any way shape or form, their coppers are on us like a shot.

 

Today we ran the gauntlet.

 

The Mancs in the car park just ran :D

 

Not to mention that BMW :lol:

Are you five years old? Do you have a hoody on the wrong way round? I referred to the matches I saw when Shanks and Busby were managers. That was the end of the 1960s. And so you inform me I was ('where') wrong because it was bad during the 1980s. Jaysus!

 

I didn't go to football in the sixties but I did in the seventies, once in 1977 United fans were banned from away games because of trouble at Norwich, we played Liverpool at Anfield during this time and I went on my own, I was seventeen and went in the Anny Road End, I was only met with friendliness by the scousers that I met that night...

 

And Kevin Keegan scored the only goal of the game...........:(.............

 

People were asking me about Arthur Albiston because he was standing in for Stewart Houston who broke his ankle and was to play in the FA Cup Final a couple of weeks later, we won that as well...:)...

Sorry mate but have to disagree - I remember when the Manu fans 'took' the Kop by running across the pitch - at 1.30pm on a Saturday before the big boys arrived.They ran right up to the back t*atting any youngster who got in the way. Then they let rip with a barrage of bottles and sharpened coins, one of which became embedded in my arm as I tried to protect my face. The First Aid room was like a battle field hospital full of bloodied and terrified youngsters.

 

This was 1965 and I was 12 years old. Take my word for it, the hatred was as real then as it is now.

They started it yesterday and got what they deserved. I can't abide racist chanting, and violence is obviously unacceptable, but nasty 'heritage' chants give spice to the occasion.

 

I don't care what people think, I enjoy it for what it is. Football match chanting is rarely polite, and always intimadatory, provocative and offensive. It's part of the tribalsism that makes the game what it is. If you take the nasty edge out of terrace behaviour you'll turn the game into a church service.

 

There is a line, and racism is it, but after that I largely don't give a f*ck.

No you didn't, you said "Fierce rivalry's one thing, but Fergie introduced sheer hatred to the fixture."

 

Which people have quite rightly pointed out is total b*llocks.

 

 

 

And "Fergie" ?????

 

F'ck off.
