I got home at 10.40 last night after sitting in traffic getting home. If I'd took my lads to the match, that would be waaaaay past their bed time. So what I'm saying is, I can sort of come to terms with it on night matches. Weekend games when its during the day though, no excuses.
When I went to the Carling Cup game, I sat in traffic on Ashton New Road for 40 mins, then on the M6 there were delays due to the inordinate amount of road works. Then the M1was down to one lane in parts - more delays. M25 - same. i got home at 4am the next morning after that game, but it doesn't stop me staying til the end. I'm no martyr, but I support my team.
if you're more interested in getting your balti wrap 5 mins before half time, can't drag yourself out of the pub to get in your seat to cheer your team when they run out, or leave 10 mins before the end to get home early, f*** off and watch the scum. we don't need your like at City.
Was that the last time you went to a game?
Edit, sorry I dont mean that in a twattish way, but you point out one game which was the biggest game in probably 20odd years, yet dont seem to have mentioned last night or Everton. Like I said to Xavi, if you dont go every week I can understand you wanting to stay to the end and be one of the last out of the ground or whatever, but when you go week in week out and have kids to get home, or up early for work, City is NOT my priority. I owe city and their players fuck all.
On the traffic point also - even for weekend matches I can see why people with kids would scarper early. Have you ever been sat in a car with 2 kids going nowhere for 40 minutes?
bollocks to all this pussy faggoting around everyone apolagising because a shitfan got a bit shirty. IF YOU LEAVE EARLY THEN YOU ARE A SHIT FAN. None of these cunts will be wanting to miss the traffic in 2 years time when were playing barca in the CL so they can fuck off with there faggy excuses because it Wigan. Most of these people wouldn't of even bothered if it was on sky they only turned up because they haven't got espn.
You will find that if people want to leave early once a game is finished, then they will leave early regardless of whether it is Barcelona or Burnley, and regardless of whether you think they are a shit fan - it happens at every football ground in the world, and has been happening for the 25 years I have been going to football matches - FACT. I agree it winds me up people leaving early when the game is not over in close games or where the side has totally pulled their tripe out and deserve the plaudits, but each to their own pal.
Why the fuck do you believe it makes you a better fan than someone else because you choose to stay to the end, thats a personal choice based on a personal circumstance. The person who deserved the ovation got it in front of a full ground. The rest of them hardly deserved fucking paying let alone my adulation.
However, being the one who thought people should drive dozens or hundreds of miles in the snow to keep the united game on against police advice, clearly you dont give a fuck about anyone's opinions or situation other than your own, so perhaps replying is a waste of time.
