Well perhaps the song should be changed to "39 dead at Heysel, but it wasn't your fault". Then there's no ambiguity.

I think that would be a perfect response, no confusion and people can say yeah it's about Heysel. See how they respond.

Fucking nonce.

Might work to the chorus of three lions ?

Lads can we please stop posting about Heysel. I have Italian family who knew people injured there and it’s getting a bit much

They are, as a football club and supporters unable to accept blame for their actions.

I’m sure there’s a song in there somewhere…

This is the same MP who was kicking off about the lack of respect for the minute's silence at the Community Shield. Thing is, he didn't bother to ask about the background.

Liverpool FC were asked about this by the FA prior to the game and said they didn't want it. They'd had one at the appropriate time and didn't see the need for another. But the FA ignored them and decided they were going to do it anyway. However neither club were told there was actually going to be a minute's silence. The phrase used was "a moment of reflection" but the fans weren't informed of this until just before it took place and, as so often happens, many carried on singing and talking, completely unaware of the silence.

I wasn't there and people who were said it wasn't clear what happened with our fans. I'm not going to defend anyone who deliberately and knowingly disrupted it, but the overwhelming majority, if not all, didn't do that. But I will say that their ill-mannered booing of the National Anthem, and Prince William, shows that, with them, respect only works one way.

City thought they were doing the right thing by immediately apologising but it was the wrong thing in hindsight. First of all it ratcheted up the tension between the fans at Wembley by releasing that while the game was in progress. Second, City should have said they'd review the incident first, rather than effectively saying our fans were guilty. I offered to contact him, to discuss this but City said they'd already done so, so I didn't bother.

They should also have briefed the media about the FA's ham-fisted handling of this, and mentioned that in any public statement. It was poor PR from the club but it was just after Vicky Kloss left and maybe, despite the stick she got from some, her sure hand was missing.
