Rovers critics of City should sing a different tune

[Leisure]

Interesting article from the MEN -

Opposition chants questioning the loyalty of Manchester City fans are just nonsense, argues Mike Keegan.
It's inevitable, I suppose. Human nature dictates that in a row you always go for someone's weak point. But what do you do when, say, you're a fan of a team playing City and you cannot find one?
You can't start chanting about how useless they are, the keeper's not dodgy (anymore) and the manager's not getting sacked in the morning.
So what do you do?
It would appear that you come up with some nonsense that ignores the facts.
I've heard it from supporters of several clubs, including Newcastle United and most recently Blackburn Rovers.
'Where were you when you were ****?'they accuse.
It is not a new chant and in many cases it is justified. Nobody (outside a commercial department) likes a glory hunter. But it is not justified when aimed at supporters of City ,especially from those two.

Lower attendences equals proper fans and a better and louder atmosphere. Ewood is a much better place without the plastics. You now have loads of plastics, with more to come if Man United don't improve.

So in short, come back when you have something of interest to post, you boring

Just two points Dan.

1, You've actually fallen into the trap of the article and are proving what he says is correct, even though it is a silly article.

2, Leisure is a Claret.

I can't bring myself to take enough interest in him Stan to work out who he supports.

I wouldn't say I've fallen into a trap. I think the article is completely pointless, and totally ignores the most important point, that most chants are simply banter, so it looks like the boring chunt that wrote it has something to say.

As Leisure chose to copy and paste it it when there's already a link to it anyway on the board, makes him just as boring a chunt as as the boring chunt that wrote it in the 1st place. Plus I'm annoyed at missing today's game due to my rear brake pad going on me when I set off. So I'm somewhat pre-menstrual right now!

I wondered what you were doing on here Dan.

I was going to call you a plastic fan.

[DanRrr]

I am Stan. I'll get the brake pad done if we go up at the end of the season

Poor articles with little substance, that try to make an issue out of something that ignore more relevant facts and use incomparable data to back up the 'point' of the author often do.

A bit like Jordan Lund's 'What size foot does your *******s take?' then... the accurate literacy of a BRFC casual smashing his way through Burnley on numerous occasions in the 70's and 80's with the allied Celtic/Rovers lot and tens of thousands of Rovers fans, proud of his internationally famous and immensely well supported football club. Written by Jordan, born 1991.

I've no idea, having not come across this literary masterpiece you refer to. But it sounds like this book may serve a purpose of being of sociological, anthropological and psychological interest. That MEN article however, is sim
