The Yaya Toure 'Munich' song

There are shades of grey here in my opinion.

I call my scummer-supporting mates such things as 'muneboy' when we're having a laugh, but I wouldn't do an aeroplane gesture at a Manchester derby. The Tevez song doesn't offend me and nor does this Yaya song.

This thread is just descending into the same old 'here's the fence, pick a side' debate over the use of the term 'Munich', which is well-worn ground.

And in no way is it comparable to players receiving racist abuse from the stands. That is a ludicrous suggestion.

I'm one of those who's not arsed either way about the term Munichs

As much as the do gooders might want it to go away it never will..it's ingrained into the fans as much as wearing sky blue I'm afraid

I should imagine the older fans who remember the crash are more horrified about it than my generation and younger

To a lot of blues it's just a word to anger our rivals..it has been disassociated with people losing lives and is now just used as a derogotary word.

Sad but true

And I can sort of understand..if someone was taking the piss out of people who lost their lives in the battle of waterloo..or that german airship disaster..would you be so quick to judge?

People lose their lives everyday..what people decide to make of it is their choice

I'm sure nobody that uses the term Munich wishes anyone dead or rejoices in the plane crash..it's transcended that now

FFS, it damages our club.

Why can't the thick fuckers who sing this stuff realise this? Are they really that fucking dim?

Exactly. Arjen's suggestions are perfectly fine. Why can't they be used?
