What did those people chant ?
Good. Man won a World Cup for England, deserves respect
Fuck em and fuck City but still I hope they find them and give them a lifetime ban
Well done. I have to say that City have tended to be fairly lax on banning fans for this sort of thing, so hopefully this is a sign of change.
Probably want to make a strong statement now with the game coming up to deter any incidents then when it’ll be higher profile.
In fairness to them, it would be very awkward if they tried to ban their own players and staff from the Ethiad
soft
Fuck off with that, those arseholes obviously deserve a ban for mocking the death of one of England’s greatest ever footballers. Are you one of those who’s been banned?
It’s one of the most heartless things to celebrate a person’s death, especially for a petty things like sport rivalry. We don’t live in medieval time anymore. Wake the fuck up.
its just a chant, yeah its bad taste but a stadium ban for that seems over the top to me
Agree, the punishment is soft.
Sir Bobby has more history than your entire club, get the fuck outta here lol
Depressing comment
Is it offensive to ask what they were chanting?
“Bobbys in a box”
Idiots
I find myself cringing a bit about how shit that is, agreeing with you that they’re idiots, but thinking it’s absolute overkill to ban people for it.
They have the right to exclude people for behaviour they don’t want, it’s a private stadium owned by a private company, but it’s a bit OTT to me.
Ban is the perfect response.
Where do you draw the line as a club? What do you let people get away with saying until the hammer goes down?
Bobby is a national treasure & chants like this are vile. Its a terrible look for the club & better to keep these sorts of hateful fans away.
A temperary ban would be fair imo, permanently banning is a bit harsh
That’s so tame and people are going to get banned for that??
classless
Asking a question ain’t offensive mate 👏🏾
Shows what you know about Reddit.
DONWVOteD
Yeah I know most of the time u get downvoted for asking questions🤣, but that doesn’t mean its offensive
Unluckyyyyy. Stupid cunts
I know its a different culture, but banning someone for insulting a dead man doesn’t make any sense here lol. Are the football chants respectful over there? I know people here will say that we are racists, which is true for all of our countries, but at least we are not constantly solemn.

If you’d rather be racist than “solemn”, I don’t know what to tell you.
If I had had the kind of talent and impact on a sport and a club as Bobby Charlton, I honestly think I’d be damn well pleased if said club’s rivals would be cheering my death for no other reason than the fact I was a great player, 50 years after I stopped playing.
No higher praise, in my book.
Shame they never take this stance for the numerous times their fans have mocked the Hillsborough disaster. Obviously this is the correct course of action but it does feel like a slap in the face when nothing happens when City fans are constantly singing about Hillsborough both at the Etihad and at Anfield. The best we get is a half assed “sorry if you’re offended, if it happened” apology from Pep and that’s basically it
Tragedy chanting for years is fiiiine as long as it’s a direct rival
I think they should be named and shamed once identified. Show these young POS the hard way that their actions do bear consequences and make them rethink if it was worth screwing up the rest of their lives now that no one will want to hire the disrespectful twats because they mocked someone who just passed.
Lol mate. Have you ever heard of virtue signalling?
If they ban the 10 fans or so that we saw in that video, the etihad will be empty every PL game
If he gets to be a hero to some for something as inconsequential and pointless as kicking a ball around its only fair he can be a villain to some as well.
The right response is ignoring it, taking it as light banter from rivals and total strangers who didnt personally know the man and moving on.
I hope they are ready to ban 90% of the league when Fergie dies.
And people are supporting this?!!?!
Plastic clubs and internet fans lol
Is it offensive? Who’s offended? Is it not more offensive to equate this to racism or homophobia?
