Two minors suspended by club for offensive chanting at Brighton game | 17 year old charged by GMP (p29)

The club would have better off not responding to this; “reports” can be anything from absolutely evident to absolutely rubbish. Responding only highlights what probably was not true.

Confirmed reports would have been a different matter.

It is true. There’s a video going round social media of a few lads chanting ‘Bobby’s in a box’.

The News of Charlton’s death hadn’t broken before the Liverpool game. The silence was for Israel:Palestine.

That explains it mate, otherwise they would have been conflicted.

Replace daft with cuntish.

No idea. Might have been reported after. It was just in a discussion on the radio.

Some female City fan, older woman, said she spoke to some younger fans in the south stand about homophobic chanting to the Brighton fans. Didn't report them as they were young but has copied the club in on her tweet. Quite a few comments calling her a grass.

Sums their attitude up then.

I was hit in the early 90s for telling some one they were a dick for shouting racial abuse at an opposition player. Funnily enough, a black man also turned on him - but the dick chose to hit me.

Never be afraid to call out behaviour like that.

I stopped some knobs who were singing the ‘runway’ song on the Metrolink last season. I was the only person prepared to speak up and I am 77 years old.

Hate the Rags as much as the next man but there are some things you just shouldn’t do.

Well done, sir.

There is hating a club, and nothing wrong with that, then just being downright ignorant and disrespectful. It goes beyond rivalry.

The more who call it out, hopefully the more it dwindles out.

Looking at the photo of this child who posted on tick tock, he won’t even know who Charlton was or what he achieved in the game.

We are appearing to do a good job policing our own and we have fans who will call it out, all we need is for fans of other certain clubs to be called out by their respective clubs.

I can't believe the mentality of people singing about someone who has died from a rival club, I can't see next week going well with the minutes silence that will be held before the Derby.

Another one of the 66 boys gone is is how I see it, someone has lost their dad, grandad, brother, uncle, friend. I was genuinely gutted about it, just hope we pay the respect at the match properly.

So next Sunday will be all about Bobby Charlton, no problem with that. City fans will observe the minutes silence impeccably but I can guarantee that outside the ground the rag shit bags will be their usual vile selves. Iirc after the 50th anniversary of Munich which the City fans observed the minutes silence brilliantly, they were attacking blues after the game

Those dickheads who chanted negative things about Bobby Charlton are not welcome on this website or at the Etihad. Piss off and go and look at yourselves, fucking idiots, all of you, you just bring shame on our club, yet most genuine City Fans appreciate one of the greatest, if not, the greatest English footballer ever.

Never realised Bobby Charlton was gay?

The same type of shitbags who kept quiet for the Munich 50th anniversary will you probably keep quiet next week.

Seen two photos now of one of the supposed ‘fan’ who was singing it. As you’d expect, not a facial hair in sight. Just that pathetic sweep over hair cut they all have a hand bag type thing over his shoulder.

Apart from the bag, that sounds just like Bobby Charlton...

 

[BlueMoonday]

Odd to call out a specific age bracket. I've seen atrocious behaviour over the years from older fans. Just call out the behaviour (if it actually happened), age is irrelevant.

Shitbag?

I was outside old trafford today. There were other City fans paying respects. Credit to the young girl wearing her City shirt and scarf. I’m sure there were many more City fans there today than were singing songs in the concourse. But it’s not really worth a mention is it?

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I wasn't even aware that Charlton had died until after the game, but watching the Villa-West Ham game this afternoon, it's amazing how quickly a minute's silence for Palestine-Israel can turn into a minute's applause for Bobby Charlton
Next Sunday might be too much of a challenge for some fans of both clubs.
