some chants, not many, but Alan Green labelling the "dispicable" chanters "mindless idiots" (predictably)

A load of Citeh fans will boo and chant, and it will go off big time afterwards,

We'll be watching on sly / dodgy praying for somebody to shout out all the abuse we would love to if we were there.

Disagree. We had this at 40th Anniversary - every Bolton fan going received a letter from our club advising of the "implications" if we ruined the silence. the away end was full of OB as well if I remember correctly

Went when Super Bobby Taylor scored, and after the match, overheard two mancs saying if Bolton fans had jeered, we would have snotted em.

Maybe somebody could slip "The Way To Amarillo" into the CD player about 30 seconds into the silence ?

A load of munich come up to us in the Queue and said we best show respect today.

 

FCUK UM MUNICH BASTARDS.

Well I'm sorry, but people died in dreadful circumstances :sorry: , if it was the other way round I think people would people would think very differently.

 

As much as I hate the scum and the b?stards that gave me a kicking at OT & Burnden way back in the seventies lets have some respect.

They lost any respect they could have had from me by even THINKING they could use an England game for a mark of respect for their club's loss.

I did show respect. i just hate the bastards.

 

The England thing really fcuks me off.

 

Makes no odds to me if they boo,cheer, or whatever.

How many times have we had any press for the Burnden disaster?

 

There's only all this shite because it's "them"; they make me sick.

I agree and you can include Bradford, Ibrox as well.

And my sentiments exactly

did`nt we lose good english players at munich,also other people loss their lifes at this disaster, people who did see their wife and children or grand children grow old.what about their respect.

They lost any respect they could have had from me by even THINKING they could use an England game for a mark of respect for their club's loss.

 

But some of those who died were England internationals so perhaps the FA wanted to remember them.

 

There's a point where club rivalries don't come into it.

if folk can't stfu for one minute its a shitty world we live in

Those individuals and their famlies left behind get all my sympathy and respect. It was a tragedy.

 

What will get no respect from me is Rudolf and his band of merry men making this a huge media event to sell more shirts, more tickets and more media rights.

Heres the latest score on the silence front LIVERPOOL 8 MAN UTD 5, and thats only this season.

If I were there I would be silent, though it is likely that some Wanderers fans wouldn't be. I would respect their right to not be silent.

 

Unfortunately "Munich" isn't about the respect of those who died, it's become a focus of a justifiable (IMO) hatred of Man Utd, indeed more correctly of the fans, although I think that the club has also played it's part.

I think there's a big difference between what happens at the game at OT that is chosen to commemorate the event, and the idea that it should have been extended to an England game. Obviously it should be marked at OT and indeed if I was there on the day I would respect it. But why on Earth would England mark it? That's what's started the fuss.

It's not enough just to say there were England internationals involved. Well let's suppose the plentiful England players that Bolton had in the late 50s had died in an ice-induced coach crash back from a winter mid-week game somewhere, would they now get their 50th anniversary marked at an England game? Would they fućk.

And to be honest I think anything more than a simple remembrance before the appropriate United game is actually an insult to families of those that died. It implies that a collective grief can be felt by people with no real idea who those in question were. Families may still mourn - but that doesn't mean a "Basingstoke Red" can jump in on the act.

Seems simple enough to me. At OT you'd respect it as a matter of simple human decency. It would still stick in my craw a little due to the paddys, Essex JCL's and Satans Basingstoke Reds being part of it but then again, England hero Bobby Charlton will be there and that's a good enough reason to show respect for me.

 

At Wembley though, completely different. Those coonts and their Argentina chants etc. should have no recognition whatsoever from our national set up. None. I would boo my b0llocks off.

You are wrong there bd, when we were there for the 40th, it was actually on the 6th Feb, you could have heard a pin drop, the Manure fans in K stand next to us even applauded the Wanderers fans for their respect. I think (Sir) Nat played a huge part in ensuring the silence when he laid a wreath on the pitch with Bobby Charlton
