Some years ago I left the away end at the swamp and saw Bert of Bert Trautmans Helmet fame stood outside selling his fanzine so I went and had a talk. We were soon confronted by the rag shits gobbing off. I remember one loud mouth yelling at me daring me to sing 'my Munich song now'. I replied that Iwould never stoop that low especially as Frank Swift had also died in that tradgedy. His reply ? 'Who the fuck was Frank Swift'.

Hmmmmmmmmm. It was a disaster in 1958, it was a money making exercise from about 1985 onwards.

Just a pity that at the swamp on Saturday the banner that was unveiled, which I suppose was Club funded, showed images of the eight players that died, with the adage, we will remember them. I thought 22 persons died?

Only 8 count.................

Let’s just show respect with dignity instead of trying to make political gain.......we should be above that.

On Twitter, one said: "Making money from memorabilia about a tragedy where people lost lives, I would say yes it's is disrespectful."

I'll just leave that there.

Im glad the league realised it was a bad idea to schedule the derby for Munich weekend. Our impeccability, both on and off the pitch, ruined their day.

The win helped a bit, too.

so the idea isn't reprehensible just the sell on ? How on earth do the educate fans in Kuala Lumpur and Oslo without access to this stuff?

There are literally hundreds on eBay at present, type in flowers for Manchester and there they are, all up for the highest bidder. One person started their auction at £999.00 so just to get him/her excited I bid on it knowing I could retract later. I messaged them and asked if there was a buy it now price as I really had to have it. They replied they'll let it run to auction end as expecting around 3 grand. I then retracted my bid and messaged the person asking if they're ok profiting from their tragic past including deaths of many and they replied they didnt give a toss as they made their living as an undertaker anyway so it's normal and it was so long ago what happened. Nice fans them lot.

Do any of our financial experts have a view on if the US market meltdown will affect the trafford rags?

They might struggle to raise as much from potential sponsors of the Munich disaster?

Fans making money from memrobillia commemorating a tragedy. Now I wonder where they got that idea from?
