Superstition

Do any of ye have superstitions about City?

I will only use a toothbrush with a splash of green on the handle. Otherwise i reckon it could spell the end for City.

**wiseman** · 30/04/2002, 10:53 AM

Yeah I have one
I reckon if we have a crap manager we won't win anything
and last season I was proved right

But seriously...if you have them ..get rid of them.
I am assuming you used your toothbrush last season..Didn't work did it!!!
Unless of course you didn't use the brush in which case

ALI-G OUT

I had a superstitution about a scarf I had a few years back - do remember the Cup-winning season and all those draws around Christmas in the League - well I lost the scarf shortly before the quarter-final Cup tie with Sligo Rovers and hey presto! Had to get a new one before the trip to Dalymount - one of those Red ones with "IFA" Cup Final printed on them.

I have a lucky red hat that Biscuits stole off me to wear in the Munster Senior Cup Final against Ramblers a few years back. He asked the Shed for a hat, ever since tis a lucky charm

What about �anna's hat, that thing was the devil in hat form, it was hexed.

I always drink the week before a match!

I normally have a ceremony, where I wear nothing except a pair of football boots and a feather stuck up my ass, then I slit the throat of a goat, and daub the blood on a statue of Gunther, all the while chanting "UEFA Coaching Badge, Grade A"....

[color=red]So far, it hasn't worked, much like Gunther and his coaching badge.........[/color]

yea i used to stand in the same place in the shed for 4 or 5 years running.. and i used always end up standing next to/ around the same 3 or 4 people..
but then they moved and i moved and the whole thing went a bit pear-shaped on the park..

Running on the spot for 4 or 5 years? No wonder you are so skinny

Actually, I seam to be City's lucky charm! Any home match Ive been to we have not lost, except for Shels & Bohs, + I have only been to 2 away matches where we have lost. So usually when I show up, we dont loose

I make almost all of out home matches. The only reason I dont make them is because of exams (which Im failing )

I also make most of the Pale matches.

Thats one of the problems I think, is that the Shed is full of little clusters- if we were all set to sing together, dance together and generally go fcukin mental together, it'd be better.

**James** · 01/05/2002, 12:31 PM

**** off eanna, who are you to tell me where to stand or what to join in on at a football match..
most of the muppets that stand around you at games are plain annoying to say the least...and i for one would rather watch the match then listen to some of the ****e your "cluster" / GANG comes out with..

[SIZE=1]*no offence man

So would I! I know exactly who you mean- they have to be the 2 most annoying cnuts I have ever met. No, obviously people are gonna stand with their mates, I know that, but what I mean is that you get bunches of 4 or 5 people standing together and chatting to each other, and then chants just fall flat when a muppet like me starts them- if we were a bit more organised, it would really help the athmosphere.
