England play Switzerland on Feb 6th at Wembley, 50 years to the day since the Munich air disaster.

 

There are already plans in place to honor the victims. Will it be a dignified minutes' silence? I doubt it.

 

More like going overboard on a grand scale. Fawning over a club whose fans prefer to fly the flag of foreign countries than our own, and have nothing but contempt for the three lions.

 

Do they deserve the sympathy of the nation?

80,000 people paying their respects would make their 'argentina' and 'you can stuff your england up your arse' chants look pretty stupid.

 

not to mention the croatia flag.

totally agree with you,

 

feb 6th will always be happy munich day in the fester household,

Cynical ploy by the FA to try and fill Wembley for a meaningless friendly.

Aren't Argentina or the Republic Of Ireland playing games that night? More appropriate if they do it there. Turns my stomach when I hear the scum singing the name of a foreign country who we fought a war with not long ago. Filth.

Thats the whole point though, the more that people get wound up by it the more they'll sing it.

I had plans to go with the lads from work. I have cancelled. Unless they will honour all players and fans who have died in the past 60+ years.

 

I for ONE say to Manure..... Remember YOUR players in YOUR ground on YOUR time.

F?ck that Feb 6th is a day of glee, no sombre silence here. F?ck off to Buenos Aires or wherever they prefer if they want to honour their dead! Did England do anything on 9th March 1996?

Celebrate my 34th birthday?

 

But seriously, mourn in your own stadium.

spot on, fook all to do with the england national team.

Man u are becoming as bad as the scousers, in mourning in every feckin season, I also see that the manchester derby a retro commemoration shirt is too be worn, just another cynical money making ploy.

I agree that they shouldn't do it at an England match at Wembley, JUST FOR MANCHESTER UNITED. I think they should honour the victims of all football tragedies of English teams, by reading the names of the disasters maybe.

 

I think its stupid to honour the victims of one football tragedy that happened to a Northern team, and have it in the middle of London..

 

If ManU want to do that, they should do it at Old Trafford, where theres more chance of a silent minute.

They taking a risk trying to do this it at an England match anyway give the anti utd feeling by the vast majority of proper England fans??

f**king arseholes . the most anti english club in the world and we are falling over ourselves for them ...BOLLOCKS

Sorry but I can't let this go..... What can we do to stop this? Surely the anti-Manu feeling must be strong enough to get the FA to see sense (well maybe not... they employed Mclaran)

 

I mean for the sake of Eve....... It was an accident which could have been prevented had the pilot not gone for "3rd time lucky". 23 people people lost their lives and that is tragic. Nuff said.

 

But WHY WHY WHY overshadow what will be a new era in English football with a club mourning their dead. Let them remember their dead but not at all costs.

 

Or why not say "First England game at home every year there will be a minutes silence in memory of players and supporters who have lost their lives following their career and their dreams"

 

AAAARRRRRRrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and we `re bother

They are risking a very humiliating situation. Depending on who is in the ground, there may well be a lot of noise during this.

 

Of course, it was an exceptional tradgedy, but any worse than Burnden disaster, Hillsborough etc.

 

You can't do one for everything that has happened, as you have said, OWN club in Own ground.

 

Nothing is worse than having about 10 minute silences per season for players of other clubs.

Maybe someone should start one of those petitions on the Prime Ministers website;

If we spread the word to other clubs to drum up support and hopefully one of the national newspapers would get wind of it???

Your petition reads:

 

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'Not have a

minute's silence at the England v Switzerland International

match on 06.02.08'

 

It will only serve to highlight how much Man Utd are detested,

as many fans will not observe the silence.

 

In addition, their fans are anti-England and so should not have

the privelige of a minutes silence.

So, basically, those who determine these matters are your typical munichcockneys. Another reason to vote them out next time. Vermin.

100% agreed

I think it'd be great to have a minute silence. If only because I know it won't be observed and will send a message to the Argentina loving whores that they are the most hated club in England. I look forward to watching it all from the comfort of my armchair.

I do think a few of you need to remove your heads from your arseholes.

7 of the 8 players who died were English and most had represented England.

Frank Swift 1 of 8 journalists who died represented England as a goalkeeper 19 times and captained his country.
