Was discussed on TalkSport earlier that some trouble on the steps by the coaches after the game. Police moved in and pulled a few away

The atmosphere after the game wasn't helped by swathes of coked up/pissed up Mancs being absolute classless bell-ends after the game. With advancing years and wisdom this is usually laughed off - but when they're right in your face (not great for Covid) and crashing into all and sundry while singing "You've seen the Champions now **** Off home!" the filters start to get a bit jumbled. Found myself for the first time in years telling a few to **** off and fully expecting a negative response. Very fortunately, they just stumbled on.

Can almost hear PPF getting the tissues ready.

I'd love it if he real name was Russell. Unfortunately it begins with an S.

Man.City fans complaining on Blue Moon forum that several fights broke out amongst their fans as well. They are putting it down to cocaine rage...

Really? I heard that soon after a 'sniff' one becomes too wrapped up in one's imagined magnificence to stoop to sometheing as petty as rage.

Maybe they cut it with cat flea powder up on the streets of Miles Platting and Ancoats. That or they have underlying mental health issues, like the goons at the Millwall cup final :shrug:

Been on Bluemoon, the Man City fans forum, and a lot of posts on just that. Lots of incidents of City on City in the South Stand and in the concourse. Of course I blame the bracing sea air and the lapping of the waves - they just can’t handle it those poor Northern wretches.

That's the most 'bagged up' crowd I've seen at The Amex. We arrived at Falmer about 2, and there were loads marching around having a good sing-song carrying bottles and evidently already quite 'on it'.

Brighton factually.....
I was in the Dorset at midday as were some City fans, who were ok to be honest with the little interaction I had with them, but by 3:30 when I left they were still there, the wife stayed on with some friends and told me the city fans were still in the pub at 5 and most drifted off in taxis to the ground, two stayed in the pub and carried on drinking and were still there when she left at 8.

I don’t mind City to be honest, I have a bit of a soft spot as it was my first away game, and moved to Rusholme when city still played at Maine Road for a few years, most of the older ones have a good sense of humour and hate United.

Having said that I did see their youth, in Islington one Saturday hunting Arsenal fans, they were a bit tasty, and had definitely been on the Ol marching powder.

I’d sing that to them if things were different

Are you sure you didn't copy/paste that from a Das Reich (PPF) post?

:lolol:

Talking of Das Reich, he won't have been involved in any fisticuffs, this weekend, (unless he was punching Albion socialists) because by his own admission he was drooling over Citeh's 'young govenors'. :facepalm:

The club are usually quick to put out a statement and let everyone know they're working with Sussex police. Unless I've missed it, I don't think they have so couldn't have been too much bother

PSG supporters aren’t these days permitted to travel to the Marseille away game (yesterday), due to threats to life!

Didn't realise how serious their hatred of each was until we had a group of PSG lads join up with the English in Marseille for the Euros. They had come down from Paris specifically to fight Marseille fans who would attack us..

Exactly - don't understand the under reporting of issues in France. Even then Marseille fans were on the pitch trying to attack Messi. Marseille were already on a suspended punishment for behind closed doors games.

As someone out there for the Euros in 2016, not exactly a place I'd rush back to in a football context

Genuinely had no idea Paris v Marseille was such a big derby.

(from the Wiki entry)

Like all major rivalries, it has a historical, cultural and social importance that makes it more than just a football match. People in France see it as a battle between the two largest cities in France: Paris against Marseille, capital against province, north against south, the hub of political power against the working class and the aristocracy's club against the people's club
