Its cute at the moment but it could become quite annoying very quickly. They are a pain in the ******* arse on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 I posted at the time of the signing that I didn’t see why it was a problem we would have supporters from Sudan. It got quite boring after the fist few team selections and comments of ‘where’s Eisa?’ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 When old man Robbo used to work for City we had legions of Polish fans. The stamp album I had as a kid was full of Polski stamps sent by fans from there asking for City souvenirs and programmes. This was before Jaki played for us and I guess we'd just been "adopted" by kids from over there. Sad to see they didn't stick with us during the wilderness years (or did they - any Polish fans on Otib?) Nonetheless, I am glad to see and hear from City's foreign fans, be they the Swedish contingent, our Dutch friends or the Romanian chap who occasionally pops up here. Sudanese fans are welcome, but as they've grown up in a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, they are likely to have been slightly brainwashed into hostility to LBGT issues. (FWIW @TomF only two or three of those disaproving Twitterati reacting to your post look like they might have Sudanese names - and even that isn't nailed on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
