I didn't go on Sunday but i've been to most away games this season and in the majority of them, i've heard a Munich reference at some point in the day. It's usually just 1 or 2 pissed up idiots, who are usually, but not exclusively, barely old enough to drink and it more often than not just gets drowned out by something else fairly quickly but it's a fairly regular thing in my experience. The thing is, most of those that sing these songs and use the Munich word do so purely as a derogatory term for United, i don't think most of them even think about what they are actually saying, and do it just because they've picked up on it over the years from the older generation, you'll probably find them use the word gay in a negative manner too. They don't really mean it, but it's something they've become accustomed to and are ultimately going to pass on to the next generation.That's not me offering an excuse for our fans by the way, but i think a lot of them just need to realise what they are actually singing about when they choose to join in. Bans need to be handed out for anybody that can be identified in that video,
Again, Not to in any way excuse our fans, but i've heard there was a good few united fans singing a song about Foe dying as well? I've heard that song at derby matches in the past but it's never mentioned anywhere. it feels like i can't really say this, especially not to a united fan but in my eyes United fans are too precious regarding the Munich stuff, It's a moronic thing to do, yes, and people should be punished for it but it in reality has no real impact on the united fans. Most of them weren't born when it happened, they've no recollection of it and they've no links to it other than it happened to the club they watch on tv every week so why do they choose to be so outraged by it? They should just pity the sad few individuals that sing it and ignore it.
