united fans

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Lot of people in this thread have lowered themselves to their level already. Least the United fans have the bottle to do it in public rather than sit behind their desk making insensitive comments.

Have you noticed there not wearing there colours.Shitbags ha.

Sorry but this is nearly as offensive as any song I've ever heard.

Did you really call people shit bags then highlight spelling mistakes on the internet?

Really?

Really?

Once again the bloody quoting of other posts fails the foe button.

How this particular poster ever was awarded legend status is the biggest mystery of all on what is normally a deserved award. Sadly not this time though - can we fix the foe button so that any quoted posts of foes cannot be seen?

Would be appreciated.

Really?

Are you comparing highlighting spelling errors to making fun of human death? Really? Really?

Legend my arse.

This did make me laugh :D

Take it up with the people who run the site, ultimately it's their decision you have the issue with.

No I'm saying the word shitbag comes to mind when people play spell check on the Internet. I don't even dislike you, but it's a tad stuck up for my liking.

The Munich/Istanbul debate is not something I can be arsed jumping into right now.

[Arjan Van Schotte]

anyway, forget the munich debate. the songs last night were imho well out of order, and if it'd kicked off whose fault would it have been? lets see if they merit more than a fleeting mention in the reports.

Without a doubt the stupidest statement I have ever read on this
forum. You sir/madam are an utter
fool.

[john@staustell]

I believe some West Brom fans made a similar effort at Swansea on Saturday, after the deaths of the miners.

Whoever these peope support - mindless 80s-style morons.

I can't find any mention of these songs anywhere in today's press so it must be ok for them to mock the dead.

This from the BBC...

The only black spot of the night from Manchester United, in fact, was the chanting by their supporters of songs referencing the night in Istanbul when two Leeds fans were killed in violent scenes - chants that did neither themselves nor their club any credit whatsoever.

How damning of the BBC! Such harsh adjectives used!

Credit to the Telegraph and Mark Ogden for this (although he seems to forget it was a game between two "un*t*ds"):

"The bitter rivalry between the football flag-bearers of Yorkshire and Lancashire has laid dormant on this side of the Pennines since Manchester United’s last visit in Oct 2003, yet the hostility is part pantomime, part poison, in equal measure, accompanied by a soundtrack of police sirens and the whir of helicopter blades.

Although the kick-off time printed on the tickets was 7.45pm, the theatre began 90 minutes earlier as the coach carrying Sir Alex Ferguson’s players snaked its way to the players’ entrance via a back entrance into the stadium.

The security cordon provided by yellow-coated stewards enabled the United squad to disembark in some kind of car park de-militarised zone — neutral turf only penetrated by the invective hurled from beyond the barriers.

The baying mob then melted away, giggling schoolkids ready to re-tell the tale of how they taunted Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen and the rest of the Ferguson’s loathed United players.

That was the pantomime. The poison came from later, once the 3,000 United supporters accommodated in the Elland Road Stand injected the spite and venom that has stained this fixture for almost half a century.

Ferguson referred to Elland Road’s 'hostility’ following his team’s 3-0 victory, while Leeds manager Simon Grayson suspected that 'maybe one or two of my players got carried away with the occasion.’

“We have got to learn from tonight,” Grayson added. “We want to be playing Manchester United on a regular basis, but there was a big gulf in this game.”

Fixture 109 of the Leeds-Manchester United rivalry went the way of form, the Premier League champions coasting past their Championship hosts, yet this was more about renewing the rivalry off the pitch than on it.

Few can explain the bitterness and enmity between the supporters of two of English football’s most famous and celebrated clubs.

Traditional Lancs-Yorks hostility, the War of the Roses, Manchester’s cotton trade killing off the woollen mills of Leeds, Mancunian swagger versus Leeds bluntness.

Whatever the source of antipathy, it generated an ugly overspill at Elland Road.

A banner among the United fans which read 'Istanbul’ was akin to a matador waving a red flag at an angry bull, a direct reference to the fatal stabbings of two Leeds supporters prior to a Uefa Cup tie against Galatasaray in Turkey in Apr 2000.

Sporadic chants referring to the Istanbul deaths, laced with a full repertoire of Eric Cantona songs, came from the away end, seemingly goading the home supporters into an airing of the Munich chants which have blighted this fixture over the years.

Munich was not on the agenda for the Leeds fans, however, beyond those who chose to mimic an airplane with waving arms.

Leeds passion was saved for chairman Ken Bates, who would have been left in no as to where the majority within Elland Road want him to go — back to Chelsea seemed to be censored suggestion.

With a full-scale security operation being undertaken by West Yorkshire Police, who had designated this game as a Category C fixture — the highest grading — plans to snuff out any violence were clearly well-drilled.

One former United player, at Elland Road through media commitments, admitted to refusing to secure a ticket for his grandson to watch the game — 'I’m not having him coming here to watch United,’ he admitted.

Memories of Eric Cantona being fined £1,000 for spitting at a Leeds supporter on his return to Elland Road in a United shirt in Feb 93 and Leeds midfielder Alan Smith earning an FA ban for throwing a bottle back onto the crowd during United’s last visit in Oct 2003 highlight the nonsense which takes place when these two clubs meet.

Imaginative abuse, if a touch close to the bone, levelled at Giggs by the home supporters, the chants of 'Scum’ and United fans choosing to watch the game with inflatable sheep on their heads — that’s all part of the pantomime.

But this fixture has now endured a dark side for so long that the acceptable parameters of football rivalry no longer apply."

Ok, so when they stop mentioing Hillsborough, Istanbul and Foe then we can stop using the M word?

Why? How about we just stop using the M word and they can fuck off? The last thing I want is for anyone to have anything negative to say about our impeccable behavior as we stoop to their pond scum level.

If this was any other club severe action would be taken for their fans behaviour especially since it was less than two weeks ago THEY were inciting Napoli fans to come and tear us a new one!

There are certain clubs I don't like and love to beat THEY are at the top of that list but violence has no place at a football ground. Stoke fans have a reputation for causing trouble but they were gracious in defeat after the F.A. Cup final. Napoli suprisingly didn't kick-off when they perhaps begrudged dropping two points away from home, and they have a serious record of causing and finishing trouble with fans & Italian police.

The authorities have to realise, and pull their finger out where THEY are concerned, that trouble even during emotional fixtures can be avoided if you don't allow morons like THEM to incite it.

Prime example would be a couple of home derbies back Mr G.N*v*lle celebrated a winner for THEM. Instead of running to the away end like the rest of the squad he ran down the length of the Colin Bell stand, in front of the corner and South Stand then not to the away fans but back into the pitch all the time gesturing and spitting at all City fans, WHY to incite trouble on the final whistle which was blown a couple of minutes later.

Maybe I'm rambling over nothing? Maybe I was just brought up differently to THEM?
