And some who just wanted to kick off with the bizzies and run on the pitch and be knobheads.
and by some, you mean all. At least, just get out of the house and have a little piss up and a song or two. Obviously, an understandable desire for damn near everybody everywhere these days.
The romantics seem unable to separate the turmoil in football from the actions of these revelers and seem compelled to assign highbrow and noble motives to the participants and see it as a good first step in a larger process.
Well im a realist and i assign low brow and simple motives to the participants, ie the strong desire to neck down a few cans, have a song and a dance and in the process mess with our competitive chances and city's coronation.
There wasn't even a hint of super league involved and the Glazers are a 17 year old problem that at best served as a pretext for calling a party.
i'll say it for about that 5th time, if all or many of the supporters groups get together and do completely peaceful mixed group actions all at the same time, that will be the thing the romantics are dreaming of. This particular thing was was not that. This particular thing was fierce rival fans on the lash taking the piss right out of us specifically and really hurting our competitive chances big time, scott free so far.
The handful that went way too far are almost inevitable in any crowd of drinkers so i can see why people might try and excuse "the few" but it doesn't follow that the rest of them all had some great noble purpose of any kind. they are just slightly more stable partyiers and i doubt a long term state of football fleeting thought was fleeted amongst the entire lot of them, unless you count the joel glazers gonna die songs.
Just because a slightly more coherent supporters group sobered up the next day and released a statement saying it was all for the love of the game and please consider our reform proposals .....well, be romantic if you wish but im staying real. total horseshit, that.
