Brentford 2-2 Man City | Matchday vlog | “Tony Book’s Blue and White Army”

[@Marraboy66]

Bobby Kennedy & Tony Book , thanks lads,👏👏👏👏RIP.

[@meok292]

Tony Book, a great, a hero, a gentleman.

[@femih.428]

RIP Skip, I met Tony as a 11 year old at an awards ceremony for my junior football club in Stretford and he was such a kind man and generous with myself and my family. IMO he was one of those who made City a genuine family club and he will be missed. Very unlucky not to win a League Championship in ‘77 losing out to Liverpool. Ian, you got me with the line about Uwe’s kids being named Colin and Tony. 😢

[@SuperCityMCFC]

RIP Tony Book, thoughts and prayers with his family, City legend, lovely fella. I don't care about the match. Great vlog Cheesy 👍💙

[@Suparef]

Lovely VLOG Ian. Thank you. I felt it was a shame that peculiar substitutions and some exceptionally lackadaisical defending soured what otherwise was a good performance.

[@CARLJENYON]

Very fond memories from Skip, like a lot of older fans City v Leicester in 69 in our superb red n black striped shirts was my first cup final aged 9. When they lofted him up for Tony to sit on shoulders of I think George Heslop or Tommy Booth the smile, pride amazing unforgettable

[@billcronshaw7595]

Hi Iain. Excellent vlog again. Personally, I was happy to get a draw but disappointed about giving up a two goal lead. Always thought this would be a tough fixture. Main news today of course is about Tony Book - a great man. I met him a couple of times - what a star!

[@CARLJENYON]

RIP SKIP AND THANKS FOR MAKING MY CHILDHOOD A GREAT TIME AS A CITY FAN. 😢😢😢😢

[@John-c1n9t]

Tony joined City from Plymouth Argyle in 66 a lovely bloke great player and adopted City and Manchester rest well Skip. "Tony Books Blue + White Army"

[@johnwalters4792]

Tony Book legend

[@Willster389]

Great Vlog Ian. RIP Tony Book. Uwe Rosler is pure class - loved hearing from him. City are nearly back and Stones and Dias fit we would have won that. It's great to be a blue. Thoughts with Tony Book's family. 💙💙💙

[@blueheart2020]

RIP Tony Book, what a Captain, a real Captain, a great full back and untouchable as an incredible servant to our Manchester City. Around 50 to 60 years as player, manager and ambassador if I'm not mistaken, WOW! Certainly since 1966 anyway. As for the match I thought we looked better. The issues is defence when up against the fast break and especially with a well drilled and hard working team like Brentford. Thomas Frank is doing a great job. On to the next one. Thanks Ian and all the fans singing on behalf of Skip. 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

[@ceostreams]

tony book's blue white army !! 🩵

[@Animalchin48]

The moment he took Kovacic off and put Gundo on the game changed. Kovacic was great tonight and pressed and harried Brentford and we lost that when Gundo came on.

[@Mancunianblue]

Did we watch the same game? Kovacic,Out of his depth and no impact on the game at all.

[@robfielding100]

Tony Book played into his 40’s I believe. A true blue and a real gentleman

[@iankirk9781]

Thanks for a great vlog , sorry to hear the bad news about Tony Book , a real City legend . Condolences to his family . The young guy at the start predicted the score , well done to him . Cheers safe trip home and City will be back to their best soon , we played better tonight . 💙

[@Melbourne_Manc]

Some game, Brentford are a great side, fair play to them. I thought we played really well but we are still too easy to hit on the break. Can't fault the performance. RIP Tony Book

[@GavinOnTheGoTV]

RIP Tony. I met him once at the services on the way to Wembley in 2011 for the FA Cup Semi final against United. Such a lovely man and full of optimism. He even posed for a photo with me.

[@djstabilo100]

Brentford had the better xg so don't see how these fans are saying city dominated. 21 shots from city 18 from brentford. Fair point tbh

[@DavidCatteau]

A True Gentleman.. RIP... KTF...

[@david6532]

omg pep does it again how many times is he going to change a winning team when we are in front, he has cost us 12 points doing so.

[@davidcollins1323]

Good game of football overall but 2-0 up with 10mins to go just manage it out , don’t go all out for another goal , lock it up and win the game

[@brokenthecityfanshearrt]

City are back. Pep if ain't broke don't fix it.

[@PeterJackson-o4o]

R I P Skip , i met Tony a few times , lovely man , we will sadly miss him .

[@colinjohnrudd]

RIP Tony..... what a team he captained, all Englishmen as well!. Great days, sadly past.

[@christophersharpe4322]

A true City legend, RIP skip.

[@bolanmark]

Good all round performance but shame we made 2 silly mistakes. Sorry to say but Gundo brings nothing to the table anymore but would like to see him as assistant manager next year. KDB back to his best and never stopped running. RIP Tony and condolences to his family. He was a legend.

[@terrypearson6632]

Thanks Ian

[@darrenbarlow5759]

Despite the disappointing result, it's the best we've played in several games. Thankfully, we have some defenders incoming and getting healthy. We desperately need a defensive midfielder. Why not Douglas Luiz? Onwards and upwards

[@manclarks4558]

Brilliant vlog as ever Ian, just catching up now I'm layed up with norovirus 😢 Was very sad to hear about Tony Book (skip) I have a ticket some where from the last ever game at Maine Road signed by Tony. May he RIP legend 💙 The result 2 points dropped gutted but I'm not going to criticise Pep and the team after what they've achieved over the past 7 seasons, I'm just keeping calm and carrying on backing them. Win, lose, draw as ever it's great to be a Blue 💙

[@stevenlowe6198]

Great Vlog Ian and tremendous tribute to Tony Book 😢🩵 A brilliant game throughout and lots of positives tonight …… unfortunately we bailed again at the 80 minute mark …. Not clinical enough up front ….. and not sure if Pep got the subs right tonight 😅 fans were absolute on it from start to finish 👊👊👊 a point is ok and onto Ipswich ….. looking forward to my next trip over next week and to see 4 games …. Greetings from Germany CTID 🩵

[@stevehynes1508]

True blue True grit rest in peace 😢

[@Shapter123]

Hope the lad who predicted 2-2 got on

[@omarios6621]

Pep is the reason why we draw why take off foden ? Gundo should NEVER COME ON HIS TIME IS UP.

[@iggigrinner]

Thanks

[@rayvinloony2322]

If Akanji had any vocal aggression in him, we could have won this. Lacking strong leadership in centre half position.

[@stevenlees8488]

How many more times are we going to crumble in the last 10 minutes of games feyenoord,utd and again tonight would of taken a point before the game but this is 2 points thrown away in a fight for a top four place so annoying

[@brokenthecityfanshearrt]

Pep making crazy subs.

[@davidclarke6718]

That was one of our better performances we looked like city of old. We just need to get back defending with more purposes.

[@jakeblues5854]

Great game for the neutral,,,,,,,,carp game for city

[@alistairnewton8898]

Tony Book Blue Blood RIP .

[@thedean4431]

need more height and strength and pace all over the pitch

[@agung8788]

🌹

[@onthekippaxsince75]

Played some good stuff, but still the same worrying issues in midfield and at the back. To be fair Ian, Brentford deserved something out of the game, but it’s hugely disappointing again to concede those points when in a strong winning position with 8 minutes left. Great tribute to the legend that is Tony Book. RIP Skip.

[@geoffwalmsley3066]

Why bring cart horse Gundo on? He's so slow now, sad to watch, Game was won then Gundo comes on,with the speed they were breaking on us,why would you bring on your slowest player?.

[@alanwhitney3263]

Needed O'Reilly with energy if anyone

[@azaanhm]

idk but subbing Gundo in ruined it, Gundo isn't him anymore

[@alanwhitney3263]

Sad news about Tony and Bobby 😢

[@martin7955]

Rip tony brooks ,as for the game city played ok as soon as it went 2 one I knew we needed a third look a draw we move on have to beat Ipswich won't ne easy but have to

[@VerikoNatmeladze]

City!!!

[@des7741]

All the chances get him some glasses

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

PSG will absolutely pump us.

[@stjohnjohnno5542]

sav my motm

[@alanwhitney3263]

Tbf if could've been 5 all but poor game management from City

[@Youknowwhatimsayinnn]

Ake and akanji, so poor and inconsistent thankfully we signed some new cb’s

[@AngelHernandez-nf4kg]

Akanji! Not ake. Akanji is never in the right position to defend. He’s always close bye but not close enumeration

[@michellemaggs75]

Ake was immense😮

[@Youknowwhatimsayinnn]

@@michellemaggs75 yea only the first goal they scored was ake fault awful marking

[@MarkRyan-zp7us]

​@Youknowwhatimsayinnn Yes he should have stopped it definitely.

[@shaunfogarty6038]

Bottle jobs 😤

[@RoseberrySt74]

Shot ourselves in the foot when we were home & dry. . .

[@TH4MBRM]

Not one manc accent 🤣

[@danspiller4978]

Not a regular visitor to the city then?

[@Kalamero]

Great vlog Ian, Very sad about Skip, lots of great words about a proper Blue.... Re last night it certainly felt like 2 points dropped.....I'm hoping we get these signings ASAP to bolster our defence....🩵⚽️🇧🇼

[@tomhickson8313]

Still wasteful in attack but no complaints enjoyed the game Brentford deserved the point RIP.tony book and Bobby Kennedy 🩵🩵🩵
