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

[A Blue]

I've heard national anthems boo'd at internationals.Has anything ever been done or said about that , or is a countries anthem not as important as that dirge ?

The photo with Splatter having money raining down on him is now used to show what he & FIFA are all about. What we need is a visual expression, too. How about waving £5, £10, £20 notes in the air during their anthem?

They cracked down on that some time ago. Of course UEFA isn't a country. It's just a set of offices filled with corrupt, incompetent scum.

I can see why fans feel anger towards Uefa about the Moscow fiasco but all this booing lark does us no favors whatsoever. Apart from the negative image that it portrays around the world, Uefa won't give a monkeys if were upset or not. They would gladly see us replaced by a Liverpool or AC Milan. I expect them to give the club a heavy fine or god forbid anything worse. If either happens I would put money on it that the owners will not be best pleased with the fans and god knows what the players will be thinking about us. If we do get off lightly I pray the fools out there will look at the big picture and take stock of what they're actually fucking doing to our club long term.

I fell off my sink when reading this.

You fucking tell em Stony. SDP's are a fine thing, my last piss of the day is usually an SDP, and if I'm lucky it turns into a shit.

Waaay too much information!!

I think some people are missing a point here. I personally virtually never boo at matches. I think I have may have booed the Biter in the Etihad match against the dippers two years ago, because he kept falling down if someone in a City shirt so much as looked at him. And that is cheating, plain and simple. And I hate a cheater, talented footballer or not.
But you cannot fine a crowd for booing. It just isn't on. The dippers, as everyone knows, booed us in the return match for daring to touch the ball (not to mention bricking a supporters' coach), after we'd had the class to show total respect for their dead. That was when I truly started to hate them. But that's between me and them (or rather, between us and them). The concept of them being fined by the FA for their filthy manners would be completely out of order, in my opinion.
The Champions League is not a company that is "owned" by UEFA officials. If people can express themselves by cheering at a match, they should also be able to express themselves by booing. I am aware that there are limits to that right to expression, and nobody, I hope, now defends racist chants, for instance. But booing is well within those limits. Otherwise, UEFA's reaction comes perilously close to saying is that this is some kind of holy ceremony, and that by booing the anthem people are committing something akin to heresy. We've moved on since the Inquisition, I think. That's the way I see it, anyway.

I can see why you chose to sneak on here in the early hours to post that shite.

Well for the last champs league group game why don't we get a sarcastic cheer or a slow clap going for the champs league anthem, see what they do then. Uefa charge city for fans making noise at a football match.

Bunch of incompetent, gravey train jumping, self serving half wits who stand a referee behind a net for 90 minutes and still can't make a right call.
