Maybe it is an age thing but near me at Wembley large groups of people were singing songs about - Jihadi John and Bacary Sagna and then singing we won the league with a Peado on the wing?

It was that painful and embarrassing to listen to I had to put my fingers in my ears at one stage and turned round and had to tell one dickhead to shut up.

Is it just me or is singing about having had this lowlife having once played for us not something to celebrate and is an utterly ridiculous chant?

Hope to god these both die a death very quickly.

I got stuck on the tube with a bunch singing the same songs and didn't like it.
 
I doubt we'd have sang songs about Ian Watkins had he been one of ours but the Adam Johnson song made the dark side of me laugh. It's self mocking, IMO.

It's more than a handful, but these fans are part of every club.

People say it's been going on for as long as they can remember, I remember reading a post by Gary James once and he mentioned that City fans used to greet the opposition by throwing rocks at them as they entered the pitch at Hyde Road.

Football has seemingly always attracted knob heads and always will. It's not a sign of the times, it's just a sign of the sport.

It was when they left the ground usually. Leaving via Bennett St or the Hyde are Hotel groups of fans would wait and then lob whatever they could at them.
 
Derby Day.

Where do you strat?

It's going to be very innapropriate. ;-)

Singing an offensive song, pissed up at a football match is crass but wholly excusable.

Agreeing with a song about stamping on the grave of an elderly lady whose politics you don't agree with marks you out as a moron and a fucking scumbag

I didn't write the song, just agreed with the sentiments. It was written about the demise of Thatcher when she wasn't an elderly person and was written in angst about how that woman divided Britain and caused suffering for many and ripped communities apart. Anyhow, I am no moron or scumbag, if you sang Munich songs even after a few beers that crosses the line of decency in my book. You don't have to agree with me but calling me a scumbag, ffs, get over it.
 
The vast majority of people singing about Munich weren't around when it happened, they have no connection to it so they probably don't put into context what they're singing about. The only reason we sing about it is to wind people up, because we know we'll get a reaction. There are United fans who are a similar age to myself, (early 20's) who have nothing to relate themselves to the Munich disaster other than their attachment to United, they act as if it offends them - well why? Do they feel the same way about the 96 fans who died a Hillsborough? Anyone who goes as far as to saying their 'offended' need to toughen up IMO. It's crass to sing about it, yes, but football is about the rivalry, the hostility, tribalism at it's best and worst, if you remove that you remove a significant part of the game - rightly or wrongly, but English football hasn't got where it is today by being a nice friendly sport.

When United come to the Etihad, they'll be singing 'kicking a blue' whilst wearing their cheap sports direct trackies with hoods up, throwing coins at us and so on. Yet you get the high horse brigade jumping at an opportunity to denounce our fellow blues and make us out to be the worst of a bad bunch!

Yeah, you're a **** if you sing 'Munich' whichever way you paint it.

The only people who I can understand wanting to sing it are those who are 16 and under (I did myself before I educated myself as to,what actually happened) who know no better and want to sound cool.
