I want to know when the media will actually report the behaviour of the rags towards those players who survived the disaster and stop pandering to the rags and their own commercial excesses.

I was eight at the time and lived near the airport. I saw those hearses pass by my house. It was not a rags disaster, at the time it was a disaster and tragedy for the whole of Manchester, blue and rag alike.

The rags treatment of those surviving players and staff disgusts me to the core. The blatant commercialisation of Munich as a marketing tool is actually beyond disgust.

Apologies for being serious in a laughing thread but needed to be sais somewhere.

Hi John. You're a little bit older than me and wondering if you remember any real commemoration prior to not too long ago?

I can't remember any real big events or talk of it, even though it was remembered, in the way it is now. This only seemed to start recently, I mean in the last 20 years. Prior to that I have no recollection.

Don't know if it's been posted anywhere else, apologies if it has, but it's going the rounds that Alexis Sanchez has been hit with a 16 month jail sentence for tax fraud ( 1 million Euros), incurred whilst he was at Barcelona.

It looks as though it's been suspended as he's offered to pay back the tax he owes by instalments (!!).

Mourinho was relieved and described him as a "humble guy"............

Even that isn't their own. Stolen from the real Red Devils. The ones that play rugby league.

So that's why we now hear of his wages as 'tax paid'.

TBH Beefers mi old mate, I believe you are correct.
I can remember the odd comment or media piece of commemoration but I think, like you, it is only in the last 20yrs or so that ot had become a big thing.
I am certainly convinced that in more recent years, it has become a huge marketing tool.
Be well pal.

Cheers buddy. Didn't think I was losing it and it just goes to show what depths they will sink.

It's ridiculous. All those people who've never even heard of it, or any of the people who died, standing there looking solemn ( as they are pressured into). Hardly any over 60. I'm almost certain that, had it been City, after 60 years we'd barely remember it all and nor would anybody else.

Rags supporters can be relentlessly hypocritical. “We’re a club with history,” “That’s not the Utd way,” “City are only where they are because of the rich owners,” we’ve all heard it before. It’s all either self-delusion or ignorance.
Yes, Munich’s not a joke, and John’s right, it affected all of Manchester, and not just because Frank Swift also lost his life. It was a shock to the whole city. And as mentioned, the treatment of ManU towards the families of the dead and of the survivors was not as honourable as it might have been, to say the least. And we’re not laughing at the Munich plane crash.
But there is certainly grim humour in their “fans” selling Munich stuff on ebay – you can see today 50th anniversary stuff as well as the gear from this week’s game. And when our club made a gesture, after last year’s bombing, wishing them success in the Europa final, it was inevitable that one response would be a sorry bunch of rags singing “Why don’t City fuck off home?” on Youtube.
They have decent fans, I’m sure (and – I have to say – one day I may meet one), but ManU does appear to have a load of absolute braindead tossers following them. You can’t bang sense into them all, so I don’t see owt wrong with just laughing at how ridiculous they are.


Good post.

I thought it was a reasonable request that could only come from a huge egotist.
He's not likely to win Manager of the Month any time soon, not with Pep about, so he has to find something to award himself with.
