It’s a shame that football is the most popular sport in the world. I love the game, but its a sport played by gits, watched by gits, organised by gits, sponsored by gits, and sometimes officiated by gits.
Good. Man won a World Cup for England, deserves respect
What if he didn’t win the World Cup?
What If he kicked puppies?
I think op was trying to make a point that even he didn’t win the wc, he would still deserve respect
What if he was King of England?
why? rivals are meant to trash talk and say stupid sh*t
Shame they never take this stance for the numerous times their fans have mocked the Hillsborough disaster. Obviously this is the correct course of action but it does feel like a slap in the face when nothing happens when City fans are constantly singing about Hillsborough both at the Etihad and at Anfield. The best we get is a half assed “sorry if you’re offended, if it happened” apology from Pep and that’s basically it
Tragedy chanting for years is fiiiine as long as it’s a direct rival
This should set a good standard. Football or not in general mocking the death of another human being should never be tolerated.
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.
are chant agaisnt peoples banned in pl? or only against ded peoples? or only if the chants have certain words?
Fuck em and fuck City but still I hope they find them and give them a lifetime ban
I hate two-faced people.
In their defense, City is the definition of Nouveau Riche… club legends are not something they’re familiar with, so they just don’t know how to act in relation to the concept
I agree, Sir Bobby was a legend footballer, no mess with his name/ role/ History
A first for City, who normally don’t seem to mind offensive chanting about tragic events
Is it offensive to ask what they were chanting?
Compare and contrast the reaction to “Lizzie’s in a box” here
