What a stupid banner ffs.

I agree mate i cringed when i saw it.

[Shaggy]

Yeah the banner could've been thought out a bit better. Obvious to whom its referring but South Yorkshire people were always gonna get uppity about it with it being so ambiguous on the face of it.

It should have been South Yorkshire Police Lies Exposed Justice for the 96

We shouldn't be throwing the term murderers about full stop.

Didn't the banner say, "South Yorkshire Police, Mass Murderers" or am I thinking of a different one?

From another forum

My brother came in from Manchester around just before 3pm, and the tram was full of match going Mancs. He'd been at one of the legends tours in Liverpool and had bags with the badge on. A decent sized group started singing Hillsborough songs at him. Pure scum.

From the BBC

Apparently, there were some unsavoury chants at Old Trafford today from Manchester United supporters against Liverpool fans. United have commented on the matter, saying "the manager has made the clubs position very clear on this matter, its now up to the fans to respect that."

Man Utd 'deplore' fans' anti-Liverpool chanting

By Ben Smith
BBC Sport at Old Trafford

Manchester United have condemned a series of tasteless chants heard during the 4-0 victory over Wigan on Saturday.

A minority of supporters disregarded pleas for decency and calm from manager Sir Alex Ferguson on Friday by taunting Liverpool supporters in the early minutes of the match at Old Trafford.

United released a statement after the match in response to the incidents.
"The club deplore it. The manager has made the club's position very clear on this matter," a statement read.

"It is now up to the fans to respect that."

Ferguson takes his team to Anfield next weekend for the first Liverpool home game since the findings of an independent panel investigating the Hillsborough disaster were published this week.

Liverpool supporters were cleared of blame over the deaths of 96 people in 1989 with the panel laying the blame with South Yorkshire Police.

United supporters took to social media networks after the match to play down the significance of the songs, claiming that while they had been aimed at Liverpool, they related only to fallout from the Luis Suarez-Patrice Evra race row last season.

However, with the timing of the chants, the issue is particularly sensitive. The chant, which includes the words "It's never your fault, it's never your fault, always the victims, it's never your fault," was heard from a section of fans in the Stretford End early in the match.

On Friday, Ferguson said he hoped both sets of supporters would "draw a line in the sand" in their heated rivalry, which has also seen some Liverpool fans mock United over the deaths of eight players in the 1958 Munich air crash.

"I think what will happen for that Liverpool game, I think there is such a focus on it at the moment, fans will be on their best behaviour," Ferguson said.

"I think it's a moment for those two great clubs to show why they're two great clubs. I don't anticipate any problems."
