Liverpool bus damaged on journey back from Etihad Stadium today

I didn't twist anything. You admit it's not a song invented by City fans. It's a United song, that got widespread condemnation from clubs, supporters groups and the league for being about Hillsborough years before anyone at City sang it.

You cannot pretend none of that happened, you can't ignore that history and decide to adopt a controversial song and suddenly decide it's about something else and then not only that, but get upset that people think you're singing a song for the reason it's in the press and controversial before you picked it up - and get angry that the club condemns it and it draws criticism from the press.

You and @Chris in London and everyone else can all keep singing it and getting angry, but the club is going to keep condemning you, the league is going to take increasingly strong action and the papers will keep calling it a Hillsborough chant as they have done since it was started back in 2012 and long before anyone to do with City sang it.
I sang it. I know what I meant when I sang it. The litany of transgressions have already been listed. I was aware it was a United song, but I wasn’t aware of it was about Hillsborough. Because it isn’t just about Hillsborough, it’s Hillsborough in relation to Heysel, (Heysel never happened).

But you insist you know exactly what was going on in the mind of thousands of City fans? Have you had your God complex long? If you can indeed read my thoughts then read this.



Got it?
 
I always thought it was an Everton song tbh.

so had a quick google and found this thread from 8 yrs ago on a toffees forum

they seem to think it's never been a hillsborough song and would'nt sing it if it was that was 2015, not sue when them or the rags started singing it first.

an interesting read for an older and different fan bases opinion on it before this season it becoming a major issue

Hmmmm, subtle difference to us then as we never sang the murderers bit.
We did sing “you’re fucking shit etc.”. Which, I think we can all agree, is as deliberately offensive a chant as is possible to imagine.

Would the game be poorer without “you’re fucking shit..”?

New on me, never knew united sing it, I sang it because their fans are winging fuckers, as is their manager, fuck all to do with Hillsborough, would never mock that in a million years.
 
Personally I’d never sing it. If people do and genuinely don’t have even a thought in their mind about connotations to certain events, then fair enough I suppose. Each to their own, it’s always a minefield when it comes to intent, be it overt or not. I’d rather just steer clear of any of it when I know it could be interpreted differently to what the intention is.

I’m content just to call them cunts.

This was a great idea, it made me go look at the Bluemoon threads from 2012.



Turns out absolutely everyone knew what it was about straight away, including a few posters who seem to have bad memories.


Anyway that's the last I'm ever going to comment on the subject.

Never sure if this means they are bad or they’ve got their pants down and have inserted their dick in a piece of shit and are fucking it ?
