    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

    It was just some banter in poor taste. Doubt Sir Bobby would care. He’s heard much worse.

      Truly. Who cares what some drunk kids chanted? They did one round and it died off because they realized people didn’t join in. They can do what they want as a club I guess, but I’m sure worse is said in the stands.

      I suppose we can call down to your house and sing that song about someone close to you has passed away!! It’s just for the laugh!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It’s a shame that football is the most popular sport in the world. I love the game, but its a sport played by gits, watched by gits, organised by gits, sponsored by gits, and sometimes officiated by gits.

      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.

      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?

    the silver lining about that is that this could be a wake up call for those dumbfucks, considering they looked like teenagers or young adults

    but who im kidding, prob won’t change a thing
