Ik hou van de club, ze hebben een geweldige geschiedenis en spelen over het algemeen leuk voetbal, maar ik ben geen fan. In plaats daarvan is de naam een verwijzing naar de grootste Griekse held van de Trojaanse oorlog - Ajax de Meerdere.

The Constant Rabbit Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Where's Tommy? Hope he's Ok - unusual for him to miss the start of the season. I enjoy his drunken rambling posts - too many get upset with him, but I doubt if there are many more passionate City fans around. Anyone know if he's ok?

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Just to reiterate and add a bit of context. I periodically, but not necessarily often, wondered if @Dolman Block B was Arn- or a different Arn maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We met on Twitter due our mutual love (despair) of City. He rarely posts on here, is more of a Twitter man! (Although he’s Mert Brown on there) So you are ''Er Indoors?

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I started out as @redrighthand after the Nick Cave song but was never really happy with it as some thought it had NI sectarian links so I changed it to @Lanterne Rouge which is the name given to the rider placed last in the GC at the Tour De France.

ralphindevon Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I know a few on here quite well and a few like TomF and Dollymarie that I recognise but don’t know them to chat to, which is odd as I’ve known them on here and/or Twitter for years and feel I know a lot about them and have momentarily gone to chat then remembered we’ve never actually met. Then there’s the faces you know well at Ashton Gate that you’ve no idea if they’re on here or not. Perhaps we should have a day where we all wear an OTIB name badge to a game. I’m dying to find out who the bloke next to me is, all he does is moan about the tannoy system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
