In their defense, City is the definition of Nouveau Riche… club legends are not something they’re familiar with, so they just don’t know how to act in relation to the concept
Is it offensive to ask what they were chanting?
A first for City, who normally don’t seem to mind offensive chanting about tragic events
why? rivals are meant to trash talk and say stupid sh*t
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
Actually the most casual fanbase in all of football.
No one gives a fuck about City or the 15 fans they had pre-2008.
This should set a good standard. Football or not in general mocking the death of another human being should never be tolerated.
Lol, people itt are baying for the banning and censorship of fans for wrongspeak. We can’t seem to decide if we want to live in an Orwellian or Demolition Man inspired dystopia.
are chant agaisnt peoples banned in pl? or only against ded peoples? or only if the chants have certain words?
Fuck em and fuck City but still I hope they find them and give them a lifetime ban
Good. Man won a World Cup for England, deserves respect
What if he didn’t win the World Cup?
What If he kicked puppies?
What if he was King of England?
Didn’t some set of fans do the same when the queen died? Not sure what happened to those folks
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.
But nothing on Hillsborough chanting or mocking Sean Cox. Classic city.
I would love them to play one home game with no home supporters
