mozo Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Let's not forget that our club has a time-honoured tradition of gimping. John Atyeo famously attributed his prolific goalscoring prowess to his weekend gimping. Jimmy Lumsden would sometimes give teamtalks in full gimp suit attire. Late 90s City full back, Gerard Lavin was known in the dressing room a 'Latex Lavin', such was his penchant for tight shiny black undergarments. Good on the lads for celebrating this... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I guess they're teenagers and most of us might now admit to dressing up and looking a bit ridiculous going to City matches with our mates in our youth. In those days it was long hair, denim jacket and silk scarves tied round the wrists for me, and skinhead cuts with white butchers coats for many others - no doubt 1 or 2 of them on here who would think of themselves as respectable pensioners now. This lot look like they were just having a laugh posing for a photo and no doubt changed out of that stuff long before they got to the ground - in the 70's we didn't! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t know about the links between Italian Ultras and neo fascists, that’s not my fault, nor is it weird. Nor of course the echoes of the British Union of Fascists (the Blackshirts) under Oswald Mosley. Not all Ultras are fascists, but some are, and the look is not just a coincidence. These kids of course may well also be unaware and blindly following a fashion.

You are trying to conflate a group of young lads who are following a football fashion / fad with something completely different which is completely not there from that photo. There are ultras everywhere - all over the world and making out they are all fascist sympathisers is bullshit and you should be the one who’s embarrassed for even thinking that they would have such leanings - not them for wearing a bit of SI or CP Co.
