    the silver lining about that is that this could be a wake up call for those dumbfucks, considering they looked like teenagers or young adults

    Lol, people itt are baying for the banning and censorship of fans for wrongspeak. We can’t seem to decide if we want to live in an Orwellian or Demolition Man inspired dystopia.

    Actually the most casual fanbase in all of football.

    No one gives a fuck about City or the 15 fans they had pre-2008.

    Classy move City. I would want my club to take the same action if the situation was reversed.

      I feel like the existence of Hillsborough and Munich chants create something that cuts through our rivalry, we share that utter hatred for them. Which makes it additionally awful when the worst fans do it to each other.

        The thing about Munich chants by City fans is it reveals how stupid and ignorant they are, because Frank Swift, who was covering the game for the News of the World, died in the crash.

        That’s Frank Swift, who played his entire professional career for Manchester City as a goalkeeper, won the FA Cup in 1934 and the League in 1937, and won 19 caps for England.

        So you’re joking about the death of one of the very best players in the history of your club. Stupid.

          “Even” if he would be worst athlete the world has ever seen, don´t joke about their death or mock or be gleeful. Pull that shit with the likes of Prince Andrew, not someone who´s worst crime was playing football.

      And so it should be, Franny Lee died the other week (with sadly much less fanfare it seems) and I’d be angry hearing United fans singing songs about his death

        This is what baffles me about these twats

        We just had Lee pass away and we’d be gutted if we saw united fans mocking that, so how these bellends got the gall to do it about bobby is beyond me

      It’s one of the most heartless things to celebrate a person’s death, especially for a petty things like sport rivalry. We don’t live in medieval time anymore. Wake the fuck up.

      Fuck off with that, those arseholes obviously deserve a ban for mocking the death of one of England’s greatest ever footballers. Are you one of those who’s been banned?

    Well done. I have to say that City have tended to be fairly lax on banning fans for this sort of thing, so hopefully this is a sign of change.

      In fairness to them, it would be very awkward if they tried to ban their own players and staff from the Ethiad

      Probably want to make a strong statement now with the game coming up to deter any incidents then when it’ll be higher profile.
