I feel quite comfortable labelling someone scum if they actually think the answer to the question 'is it okay to use a song that references people dying just to get a rise out of people?' is yes.

It doesn't directly reference it, no - but you don't always have to directly something to imply meaning do you? Anyone knows that.

Every time Munich is said its said fully well knowing that a United fan will be offended. You can't deny that?

8 pages on the word "Munich"...now that is fucking embarrassing.

Q: What's got four legs and goes 'Shhhhhhhhhhhh'?

A: Rod Hulls telly.



I heard that the other day and pissed myself. Thought it was funny as fuck. I didn't realise it made me a bad person for finding it funny, as some people in this thread would have me believe.

With regards to the 'Munich' chants. Who gives a fuck, really? Aren't there more interesting topics to whinge about?

[The Man In Blue]

It's a complete disgrace to the club, ourselves and Manchester itself. Anyone defending it is the same imo. We are impeccable? Are we fuck, we're just as bad as the moronic twats who sing about Hillsborough or Leeds fans being stabbed in Istanbul.

However, free speech is a right and people can and will sing what they want so this thread is pointless.

Well I think the malice in the reference is disgraceful, as KK said, we are so removed from the event that I think it no longer holds much meaning other than to the oldest of people. Anyone who was aware at that time is now well into their late 60s and beyond. I would suspect the lionshare of those singing weren't even within a decade of being born.


Think about this, in the Jewish religion it is considered a dishonor to those that were in concentration camps to have one's body tatooed. So taboo that up until recently they were forbidden to buried in a Jewish cemetary. 60 plus year later it is pretty commonplace for both tatoos and burail in the cemetaries if tatooed.

I would never sing it, but I don't think it matters, and will get even more irrelevant and meaningless over time.

Wouldn't "Who put the ball in Stretford's net" be just as good at winding them up and have the added advantages of not making us look like fucking neanderthals?

If i was on the board, next time it is sung i would not request any tickets for one of the first away games next season, then the bunch of thick idiots who go around the country representing our club by singing songs about a crash that killed not only 23 innocent people back when football was all about supporting both manchester teams but also killed one of the greatest players in our history wouldn't be given that oppourtunity, the silly twats would stop singing it then.

Shame on everyone in this thread who doesn't find using the word disgraceful and an embarrasment on our fantastic club.

it wasnt a munich song, it was a song about yaya toure scoring the goal in the fa cup semi final. It had the word munich in it to label the gimps in the east end.

People really are getting precious over it, I actually thought it was a great tune. If you dont like it, sing a different word in its place. Job a good'n'
