Why man utd rags

My father - a life long Blue it's in the blood you know - at the time was manager of the Umbro sportswear factory based at 63 Union Street, Stockport. Now you can imagine my dad's reaction - like fcuk we will, they can join the queue and wait their turn just like everyone else except City. Time was ticking by and everyone except my dad was getting a bit frustrated. Then the big day came - out came the blue material for the European Cup final shirts.

It had been lying about in the factory since the place was built. Yes the scum were being turned out at Wembley dressed in Rags!

Good old dad. God I was proud of him. I couldn't wait to get to school and tell everyone! So the material was marked out and cut.

Now before anything could be sewn together the embroidering has to take place. Phone call to Head Office: "what's going on the front of these European Cup final shirts? Here's my old man doing his utmost to ridicule the Red b st rds by sending them out at Wembley dressed in rags and now they wanted him to put the City of Manchester Coat of Arms on the front.

Or do you wish to go back to the days when idiot city fans called United fans munichs and were throwing darts at each other from the anonimity of the kippax?

Back to those days? That still happens. Rowem said:. That's the whole point of this thread. It's a completely inane insult that fails to cause any offence, however City fans love it.

Can see the reaction now, " look at that, another mard arse rag seeing his arse about being called rag ". I'm interested to know what the OP think we should call united fans and why its all good fun calling city fans bitters but not to call united fans rags?

Its not suppose to cause any offence, its a term that like calling your missus the battle axe to the mates. Saliph said:. Jesus, you just don't get it do you? Its just a pet name. I'll tell you what is worth a laugh. United fans refering to city as Citeh. Now United fans come out with this but don't see the irony in it. Because you're an idiot. Dave completely misunderstood my post.

Not being rude like some people here but I don't get the thread either, what's wrong with them calling us rags? I called my City mate a City wankstain yesterday and he wasn't bothered.

Dave has a point, we aren't ever going to say "Oh City call us tosspots, we like that. It seems the thread is just 'I don't like the term rag, it's shit' which is pretty obvious Excal New Member Newbie. FFS, the OP clearly meant "worst insult" not as in "the most horrible thing you can call someone", but as it "fecking stupid insult that utterly fails to insult your target".

The former would be, for example, calling someone a child molester. The latter would be calling someone a tree molester. Excal said:. Moultz Full Member. I find it funny how they refer to OT as "The Swamp". Sky Fending off the urge. Joined Apr 12, Messages 27, Location Under the bright neon lights of sincity. If being a rags was these succesful, they can raganize me anytime. I just dislike the terms 'Munichs' fecking distasteful pricks.

Sums them cnuts up in one really. Zarlak said:. Nobody said it was meant as the most horrible thing you can call someone, I think quite possibly it's you lot who have missed the point and not us.

I don't see anything wrong with rag, neither do most people in this thread. Let them call us whatever they want, what differences does it make. As far as I knew it wasn't meant to be an insult either, just a nickname for us, like bin dippers.

That's not insulting yet we call it the scousers. Yet the OP is making a point of getting wound up by a word that fails to insult him which is not meant to insult him. Number7 Ret's Slave.
