Perhaps their sanction can match the punishment LFC handed out to the lovable Kopites who sang Lizzy In a Box last year.

I'm not sure we should be judging ourselves by their lack of standards

Tbf that daft rag also managed to be the lead story day after that, though they were happy to distract from getting dicked at Wembley by City and being powerless to stop the Treble.

I know it made the news but not a back page spread across 3 nationals.

I understand what you are saying but I would prefer it if we expected and held our fans to a higher level of common decency than what lfc do.

That club and their fans are a clearly a law unto themselves and that is why they are pretty much disliked by the fans of all other clubs.

I'm not suggesting we descend to their level but it would be nice if, just occasionally, as a fanbase we felt the club had our backs.

Instead of kissing the English football establishment's arse at every possible opportunity, City could take a more balanced approach and give our fans the benefit of the doubt every now and then.

At the very least in an instance like this they could try and minimise the PR damage.

couldn't hear them in 119 but then the south stand was pretty quiet most of the game

Yeah as I said, I’d imagine many in the south stand didn’t hear it, or possibly didn’t even know what was being sung.

The song in the stand I had never heard before - ‘xxx in a box’. I don’t know if someone made that up on the spot or if it’s been sung before. I only knew what they were saying, because someone told me. I can’t even remember the tune to it now, but it sounded like the tune to another song.

The other song on social media was the one that’s been sung about Ferguson in the past. Celtic also sing that song to Rangers and I’d imagine others sing it to.

The media are desperate to besmirch our club and they grab every single opportunity , remember criticism of our club is click bait for the red 'istree clubs, a headline stating "City's dispicable fans" is manna from heaven £££££££ , and it will continue whilst we are the best football club and the dominant force in English football.
If the Barcodes ever get near our achievements the spotlight will be on them as well , the Rags and Dippers are now also rans but the media have to do everything to keep them relevant ..............its all about the money.

Forgive me if already posted, I could find anything in search. Although I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it if not.

Maybe we don't want to spread his vile shit for him

I thought the oddball would be posting his vitriol towards us.

As a sidenote I've just witnessed a first on sky sports news. They've just shown a minutes silence in the pressroom at utd.

Fuck.
Me.

They were youths about six or seven.of them ! Complete idiots but a life ban !!! Hope the City CCTV is the same used at Anfield and by Merseyside Police then as they couldn't find an elephant in a phone box ! For me a years ban at most the shit you heard chanting at away grounds up and down the country is far worse than this also I noticed Bobby's death was made public just as the Anfield derby ended despite him dying much earlier that can't have been a coincidence !
