For me, this and the Hillsborough and Heysel stuff, as well as the recent chants mocking the death of the Cardiff striker are all off-limits. I'm not sure what it is about sports fans that clouds their judgement and has them embarassing themsleves with insidious and wholly inappropriate chants about tragedies. In any other walk of life, hearing a grown man or woman sing about someone's death because the latter happened to play for a rival team, would make someone cringe and question your IQ. Unfortunately, it's relatively common in football, for some reason.

It's not only unfunny, but also plain stupid. I hope that these types of situations and the racism situations are eradicated. These aren't the types of fans we need in football, in my opinion.

Yes bang on. There is absolutely no need to use human tragedies in chants and songs, personally, I hated
it when it was prevalent in the past, particularly the sickening 'Munichs' one, Manchester City had a very respected
ex Goalkeeper killed in that disaster, although I'd feel exactly the same if this weren't the case.

Which fans mock Heysel and who is it directed at? Sure I’ve heard stuff about Munich and Hillsborough but not Heysel.
 
Maybe old news and I've missed it but Talkshite reporting that the desperate promo material for next year's rags season tickets features OGS prominently. A good omen I would suggest.
