City to lay a wreath at scene of Munich air crash today.

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I'm sure it will be turned by the press into somthing tasteless on the clubs part.

Not if we forsake the notion of red roses - I once had a variety called, let me think . . . . . oh yeah, Bluemoon! Lovely specimen.

IMPECCABLE

Just out of curiosity, how did they treat the families of the victims?

Anyway, nice gesture from the club. I remember a few years back, we played Liverpool at Eastlands, on the aniversary of Hillsbrough, and the clubs flags were put at halfmast, and Barton laid down a wreath infront of the Liverpool fans.

'Dirty munich bastard' aimed at phil neville at the weekend?

I wouldnt lay a log there

Glad to hear it. We get enough bad press as it is without idiots going around shitting on the Munich memorial.

Haha class.

Hilarious.

Ssssh. So it just me who think it should be put to bed now? Its been 50 years. Clearly a publicity stunt anyway

No it is not just you

I would not make jokes about it or intentionaly disrespect any dead from any incident - but I do think that this event is going on and on.

There have been countless tragedies over the years that had far more impact than this incident that are simply forgotten over time so why perpetuate this one

The only thing that I am aware of the scum actively doing in response to this tregedy is to exploit the incident for self-serving reasons whilst acting in a manner totally lacking in class to the families of the dead.

So why are we doing something to bring the subject up again?

Are we going to lay wreaths in Naples in recognition of the WWII bombing, or wreaths on the beaches of Normandy should we ever play Caen, or other tragedies wherevever we go?

There will be many occasions in the future when it would be appropriate to show a mark of respect but for me this particular incident - tragic as it was at the time - is not of a magnitude that warrants the attention it gets - and we should not add to the manner in which it has been abused to glorify a football club

It will continue to be brought up and be present in the press for as long as a section of our fans use it in reference to United fans, particularly in match-day songs.
