Can't help thinking we're going backwards in regards to supporter behaviour. Or is it just getting reported more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It's getting better and being reported more. There were thousands at games 30-40 years ago making racist chants. And I think the 'Munich' and 'murderers' chants have been happening for years. Probably since straight after 1985 for the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew exactly what they were doing. The explanation that it was just part of our regular repertoire was disingenuous and hollow. It got more used in that one game than I'd seen for months before it combined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t at that game but I remember we used to do it quite a lot at games following the Kaiserslautern tie. Always assumed that it got misunderstood by the man united supporters that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always assumed that it got misunderstood by the man united supporters that night It was used occasionally after the Kaiserslautern game as I recall. But my impression at Old Trafford is that it was very much being done 'at' the home supporters in a way it normally wasn't with the arms out wide and all that. Of course, it was at least a bit more subtle than another chant we had at the time which was much more specific, but for reasons of taste I won't quote it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always assumed that it got misunderstood by the man united supporters that night I was there too and I think it was somewhere in between. Our fans sang the dambusters theme regularly around that time (some with accompanying plane actions) and did so again in this game. The difference here being, on realising how much it irritated the Man U fans it was then sung much more than usual. I don't think it was initially sung with the intention of referring to Munich. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and knew nothing of Munich tbh (aged 16), but… I’m sure some did. scariest night if my life being an away fan. Everyone getting assaulted by the mancs, cars and coaches having their windows put through, police telling us to hide but not in pubs etc. Didn’t someone then drop concrete on a united car from a bridge on the Stockbridge bypass for the return leg?

Mighty Quinn Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I didn't like the racist and other singing coming out of the New York stadium after the Rotherham game, not because I live in Rotherham but because I have kids and grandkids and I'm not a racist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
