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

Platini may be [insert insulting adjective as you see fit] but I suspect that he's considerably more savvy than most UEFA officials. He probably received barmy official match reports after every round of matches but was able to intercept most of them and prevent his dozy officials from acting upon them.

It wasn't including in the initial match report. Otherwise they would have had to tell City at the post match debriefing. Someone at UEFA decided to put it in later.

What interests me is why they've chosen to do this now. We're all saying they're stupid and have committed a major PR blunder but have they? Or rather, they have but is there some ulterior motive?

We booed much, much louder at the Bayern Munich game last season. That surely got noticed as it was both sets of fans booing but nothing from UEFA. It was pretty loud at the Juve game and apparently it was loudly booed in Moenchengladbach. Yet still nothing but it was far less noticeable on Wednesday night. I could barely hear it from where I was in 236 but the match delegate reported it although he didn't mention it in his post-match briefing. That suggests his reporting of it was an afterthought, possibly at the urging of UEFA. So they must have had a reason to do that.

I think back to Adebayor's taunting of the Arsenal fans after he scored. The club were told at the time that he'd been cautioned for unsporting conduct. But that meant the FA couldn't then issue a retrospective charge, as the referee had dealt with it. So Clattenburg amended his report retrospectively to say he booked Ade for time-wasting (although it's quite possible no one has ever got back to their own half after scoring quicker than he did, even when Dzeko equialised against QPR). Therefore the FA could now charge him.

So what are UEFA up to?

This might seem daft to us 'the normal people' but I honestly think they are trying to deflect the shit being thrown at them. They live in some bubble, another world where they think they're untouchable to us little people that line their bastard pockets. Because of the love for football worldwide it has gone to their fucking heads. They are no different than any bastard government bar the fact they can't divide us. Which will be their downfall 'eventually'. I hope they all get raped in the showers the pieces of shit!

The tunes shit as well. I wouldn't play it to my worst enemy in a coma.
 
Bring whistles.screechers and anything that'll make a high pitched noise to Gladbach & let's make the protest din of all dins.

This 'event'will get huge,world wide media coverage. Let's make sure they never forget it

CTID & whistle.
 
Saw someone on Facebook suggesting that we should all turn our back at the Anthem too.

Like that idea.

Is that a fact? Well, you could blow me down with a feather. Doesn't change my opinion, one bit. I still think it's shite. And I speak as someone who's always, since a kid, loved the Music for the Royal Fireworks. Just goes to show that even great artists can write junk on their off days…

Tbf it's been cut down to just a few bars. There's an awesome guitar solo just prior to that but Radio One refused to play it.

Isn't this 'court of law' bollocks a moot point though?

It's essentially a private competition

Can they not do what the fuck they like?

No they can't. Just like they can't just kick us out of the competition.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was already talked about though.
