what are you tqalking about become cool again? anyone will tell you munich chanting is not used as much as it use its quite mild now

It's 1 word people calme down, atmoshpere was good rto

Perhaps it's just me, 80's early 90's it was common place then seemed to die out apart from a rogue chant here or there then last few years seems to have come back and loudly it may be just one word but one word that could cost people the right to follow the team

Are you sure that's a bad thing? These people that think Mun**h is just a word and don't understand what it really is, are you sure they'd be truly missed?

It clicked today that there is fuck all to be done about munich songs. It's just to widespread and the Tevez munich song has stuck already. everywhere in the ground and pubs it was sung. Shame as not only is it cringeworthy, there is far better songs out there.

Still nothing will take the smile of my face for tonight.

Hope one day I manage to experience an Away game, having watched city at home for many years I have never been on an away game, usually told that there is always trouble when we are away from home and family refuse to join me.

How old are you? I've been going a few years now and I'm 16. You only really get get trouble if you go looking for it.

Anyway, was class today except the odd munich chant, my friends and I didn't sing the last part of the Tevez chant.

Great day, spoilt by nowt; unless peole are saying they heard the obsenity that is the "runway chant". If not i don't share the view that use of the word MUNike is a catastrophe. It's gets boring, but aint shameful etc etc. That's because it's not mocking the dead, it's mocking the red shite franchise that has been disrespecting the dead for 50 years.

Just an observation:

From where I was stood everyone around me who sung during the game also sung M*nich.

Now this brings up the question, are the posters who are moaning non singers (in which case don't moan if you don't take part) or are you really secret M*nich singers who like to take the high ground away from the match?


There's no right/wrong in this topic. Like it or not it'll always be here as away from the ground it tends to be spotty kids using it but inside that's not the case.

unfortunately I can't find a single word to agree with here; "if you dont sing, don't complain?" what utter horse shit.

I'm in 111 so it's safe to safe I take part, I dont sing the Munich lines however, personal preference, call it moral high ground if youfeel it justifies acting and sounding likea cock end.

There's far more fans that don't sing regularly than do, we have no more right to the image of city fans than they; were not "bigger blues" because we sing and dance and generally create an atmosphere

there is absolutely no valid excuse for using the term, if you understand it's reference and it's conotation then theres really no leg to stand on. I find it embarassing people trying to state otherwise.

It's an ignorant few tainting the masses.

Was a great day

 

[BlueMooner87]

the thing for me is we have better ammo against the rags with tevez than to sing munichI sang with he hates fergie but it was pointless, as I said there are too many scrotes that couldnt give a fuck about disrespecting the dead

You're wasting your breathe. They don't want to understand. They read "A Modest Proposal" or a Pope satire and don't get them either. Edumaction failure.

Remember though, they are clever.

Munich is a very thorny subject. The majority of Blues I know who use the word, use it in the sense of them being the whore of Babylon and prostituting that disaster to their advantage. It is, after all, what started their club on the road to Megastore, branded, trademarked richness.

Even the banner unfurled at the swamp before the 50th anniversary derby by the Yooni'id bigwigs was respectful enough to have omitted Busby's name from the verse of the Yooni'id Calypso they printed up there and even more respectfully included their sponsor's, AIG, logo. Don't even get me started on the treatment meted to the families of the survivors.

I do not condone the use of the word as I feel it cheapens us. However, in light of the above, I fully understand the use of it in the context of referring to them as what they are.

Whilst most rational supporters understand, no matter what context, it mocks the fallen (may they rest in peace), I personally do not feel the City fans that use it are openly thinking "hahahah, your players died and stuff Frank Swift".

I still think there needs to be a lot of education among the fan base in order to eradicate it, as at the end of the day, it is neither big nor clever to use it and as a poster has already stated, there is plenty more to have a pop at them over without resorting to below the belt tactics.

However it is going to take a lot of time and perseverance to change things. Openly slating City fans on an on-line forum, to be fair, changes nothing. One needs to be far more constructive to provoke thought, debate and ultimately (hopefully!) change.
