Fri, 11 Jan 2008 13:53:54 +0000 http://therepublikofmancunia.com/you-expect-city-to-respect-munich-get-real/#comment-1902 Have to agree with Scott. We all remember what happened a couple of seasons a go when we tried to pay our respects to Noel Cantwell, and the delight the bitters took in singing about Bestie's passing. A mate of mine works in admin at the boo camp and he reckons that the powers that be at City are convinced that United are determined to go ahead with the minute silence as opposed to a minute's applause, as a deliberate policy to make City look bad; as the profile of the club is rising. Such thinking betrays the seismic impact Munich had on our city. And is akin to saying "Look we know Munich was the defining episode in your clubs history and one of own passed, and there can be few things worse than a group of young working class lads perishing in the manner that they did. But by choosing to celebrate, reflect and honour their memory, your trying to make us look bad. We don't trust our support to exhibit human emotions such as sadness, empathy, respect." That is their problem not ours. If their that bothered they should ban all their travelling support. Spoke to a number of match going city fans in my local, and although they stated that they will respect our commerations they were not confident other fans would. Whats more i detected a general ambivalence by them to sections of support who could dispute the minutes commeration. Akin to claiming to be "disgusted" by such actions, but secretly sniggering under their club issued scarfs. Never underestimate the depth of pure hatred the bitters have for us.

A fitting tribute would be a big win on the back of thrilling football and that's just what I expect and city vermin who disrespect silence will only fire up the team more.

If I had to play for my life and could take one man with me, it would be him." Bobby Charlton All of those who died, whether talented football players, journalists and even if they played for a rival team they were still men, they still had incredible futures ahead of them and I have to pay respect to the likes of Sir Matt Busby who carried on at Manchester United after all that had happened in 1958, then to see him and his Babes lift the European Cup is something to make anybody aim for the top, the man is an inspiration. “The only player who made me feel inferior was Duncan Edwards.

I hope it helps a lot of younger Manchester United followers soak up our history a little more and try to go out of their way to learn more. The player Bobby Charlton described as the best he'd ever seen, Duncan Edwards does deserve to be recognised amongst fans now as what would have been a very bright star in Manchester Uniteds history. The minority of Manchester City fans, to sing at any time about Munich is a disgrace. I'm looking forward to the Retro kits and what I'd like to see as a GOOD UNITED WIN!

I wonder if they will give the leaflets out next season and I wonder what attempts they have made for the last twenty years to stop them. Maybe it is alright to sing about people dying when it is 49 years ago or 51. Let the cunts sing,it helps you to remember to keep hating them.
