City to be charged for booing Champions League jingle (anthem)

[aguero93:20]

Just hoping we don't get deducted points

I hope we do, we'll just appeal to CAS for a ridiculously over-the-top punishment.

I'm def getting tickets for Gladbach so i can BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I can not believe they are actually charging us for this! Ha, fantastic!

I didn't make last night as having just bought a new gaff I'm pretty skint. I also thought the boo'ing of the anthem by our fans had become small time and embarrassing, but you can bet your arse that I'll be digging deep to get to the monchengladbach game and boo my fucking heart out (and then obviously get right behind the team). This could give the atmosphere a real kick start that day. It'd be brilliant if something like this is what finally captures our imagination for the champions league!

I actually find this funny. They've made themselves look right tits.

I wasn't intending on attending a CL match this season...this has spurred me to do so and boo

 

[bluemc1]

This is going to be hilarious if true. How the fuck is a club supposed to police this? Fuck me, it'll only end up with fans booing in the toilets and on the spirals.

i fucking lold at that

its nearly as bad as when Hulk tried to get us done for singing songs about him

Although this is from 2013, it's there on page 13:

However, all associations and clubs are liable for the following inappropriate behaviour on the part of their supporters and may be subject to disciplinary measures and directives even if they can prove the absence of any negligence in relation to the organisation of the match: a) the invasion or attempted invasion of the field of play; b) the throwing of objects; c) the lighting of fireworks or any other objects; d) the use of laser pointers or similar electronic devices; e) the use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature; f) acts of damage; g) the disruption of national or competition anthems; h) any other lack of order or discipline observed inside or around the stadium.
It's backs to the pitch time versus Munchen Gladback for me.

Don't really see how we will be able to fight it tbh...

If the booing noise is deemed as "disruption" then we could ask EUFA what they accept as legitimate democratic protest in a stadium in the European Union..............or we just change strategy and do a silent Poznan without the jumping in all parts of the ground when the anthem is played.
FFS as if EUFA and FIFA haven't got enough to do getting their houses in order!

Are we allowed to boo nursery rhymes on sunday?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Can we stop saying "small time" to peoples deeply felt reasons for booing.
Disagree with it by all means, but these go to put downs are err small time.

I think it is really good that this has been given some attention
City fans have a massive issue that UEFA have treated our club unfairly and now every one is talking about it.

Even if they could fine the Club, Which of course they can't even European courts back freedom of speech, the fans could just protest by staying in the stands until the Anthem had finished Imagine how good that would look on TV and the amount of Press it would receive.

By blinking first UEFA have lost this battle to City and it's fans.
