Weir moved into midfield for the last twenty minutes and looked much better there. As anyone who watched the game and who knows anything about football would surely have noticed.
Few observations regarding last night:- 1. Firstly we were ****ing immense, to a man. 2. Marco and his coaching team are ****ing geniuses. 3. Jonathon Moss is not the **** that I always thought he was. 4. Phil Jones aka bewildered looking ****wit IS the **** that I always thought he was. 5. All those plastics, Manc ****wits and the ugly Neville brothers can get to ****, we beat your team fair and square, Ibra, Pogba, Rooney et al, with at least five players that wouldn't be in our starting eleven for a league game. In short we were magnificent and you couldn't deal with us so **** the **** off! Apologies for the profanities but, even 24 hours after the game, all five statements are things that I feel strongly about, and I always get loud and mucky mouthed about things that I truly think are 100% correct.
Steve Bruce doesn't believe he can beat Manchester United, he's right, he's just little old Steve Bruce.
Brill mate. Ours was a pen. They nearly ripped Harrys shirt off and Smalling was hands on Hudds before Tom tickled Smalling. Bunch of diving divas.
The Hull Reds, ha, ****s, got kicked to **** in the bottom corner of Kempton, even big Glenn who was a legend amongst the Mancs. To be fair the Reds then were a fearsome bunch because they had thousands running with them, whereas us City fans numbered a couple of hundred on a good day. I stood my ground on Sledmere with a few dozen others that day, until the gate separating Kempton got forced, then a tactical withdrawal seemed appropriate, we legged it out the training pitch over the 12 foot wall and fence.
It was the 73 or 74 win that John Hawley got goal of season on Anglia TV, Sunderland went crazy trying to get at our fans, I got slung out and waited in station with a few other City ejectees after game, it kicked off there as well.
I missed that goal. Having had about 10 pints before the game I was getting rid of some of them at the time.
I was on Sledmere and can't recall any coming in from Kempton. Mind you as usual in those days we had all had a skilful before the game. Living in Leeds for a while LATE 60s EARLY 70s Man City, Everton and Newcastle were more fearsome on their visits there, though they didn't have quite as many. Watching what went on in Leeds and elsewhere made City games seem like a Sunday School event.
You were polite, some fans just used to piss on the terrace, thereby creating a 6 foot, steaming piss exclusion zone. Has watching football changed for the better since the 70's? Has it ****, we played Man Utd in the semi final of the League Cup, a fantasy fairytale to us in the 70's and fans are staying away using, the owners a ****, it was on Telly, it was £24, it was cold, it was Thursday, it was a school night. **** off you fickle ****s, I'm sick of hearing it. A few dozen of us pulled sickies/twagged off to get to Filbert Street on a Monday night to watch City get dumped by Fulham in a neutral ground 2nd FA Cup replay, we all had to leg it after an hour to get the last train home. That's supporting your team, not whining on that the owners an arsehole and he's upset me so I'm not going til he goes. Modern fans, I'm glad I'm old
They were repeatedly charging the big wooden gate that separated Kempton from Bunkers, when it gave way we legged it so possibly they never got on the terrace, more intent on chasing and killing us still left.
How did the Bradford game in Feb 1985 rank in the mayhem stakes? I was in Hull on holiday with my wife and had missed all the BP stuff from '66 onwards. It was the last City game I saw for over 30 years. Certainly the worst crowd violence situation I have encountered at a home match. I was in the N. Stand and it was very tasty at the N. end of the E.Stand.
I was in the Well in front of directors box which was a bit conspicuous. All spontaneity gone. We used to hire a bus and then go about filling it, rounding up people on a Friday night sometimes. Often the only bus there apart from the supporters club one. Leicester brought about 3,000 skinheads here 70/71 season we took about 100 there. I coach at Swindon for TerryNeill's first league game plus 4 of us who hitchhiked there after our coach didn't arrive at 11pm on the Friday night after a cock up by the 2 lads organising it, a couple of weeks after 34,000 at the Watney Cup game. Glad I saw football before it was sanitised and watched by customers who are spectators instead of supporters.
it was mad down north road afterwards...not many city there either...lasted bout 15 mins till ob finally restored order.
I went to that game - 4 of us went in car - Gordon M, myself and a couple of others whose names escape me - think we lost 3 1 - seem to remember it was bloody cold and starting a small fire on the terrace to keep warm
It's a piss poor reason turning your back on the team and fellow supporters because the owner is a ****, get ****ed we don't want you, go support the ballet, you fickle ****
