Cheers, Dave. Long time ago when I was teaching, I was rebuked by the school secretary (after I had been rather graphically telling her what I thought of one or two of my class). "Just remember", she said, "that each of them is some mother's little darling." Likewise, as we feel about City, other fans feel about their club. It should be possible to empathise with them rather than gloat at their misfortunes or envy their successes. Football hatred is truly hateful.
I doth my cap to you Sir! Eventhough we are regional rivals at least the majority of us recognise and revel in friendly rivalry!
OK, firstly,Carra, don't start the chuffing bipolar thing again, we already had world war III about that kind of insensitive nonsense. Now then. Mr Wellyphant. I grew up in the shadow of Portman Road also. But there is virtually nothing remaining of the club I grew up supporting. A few years ago I would never have posted something like that but times have changed.
Nah, be careful what you wish for and think back to those dark black and white days between '78 and '81 Dave. How many binners did you here calling for parity between our two clubs then ? Keep 'em down with the dead men that's what I say (Sorry Warky, no offence )
Agree with this. These are our local rivals, NOT our mates, the further down they go the better!!! Remember the sympathy we got when we were getting relegated.........NO? Correct, there wasn't any was there!! Warky, JWM, Welly, LancsYorks.....(sorry dozed off there) hampssomewhere!!! As football supporters you do have my sympathy, but as Binners you don't!!!!! Anyone know where Jim Magilton is?????????
I'm glad to see that you finally admit it! I'm one of the lucky ones being a supporter during the Bobby Robson era and witnessing some great moments too numerous to mention! I feel sorry for this generation having to witness the slow death of my once great football club but if we go down or whatever else happens, I have seen the very best of times and these memories will live with me forever! It's a shame you boys will never witness your team winning any major silverware.
It is perfectly possible to be rivals without nastiness. Why is it thought that football allegiances justify and excuse opinions, attitudes and behaviour that would not be tolerated for a moment in any other sphere? The fact that it is reciprocal doesn't make it any the more acceptable.
