Can you imagine if this was about racism? There would be bans left right and centre. Do you think bans should be issues for chants about Munich or Hillsborough?

In a word, yes. Its time football accepted that being a cunt is not banter between supporters.

It does amuse me somewhat when our fans get on their high horse about references to Munich. From when I first went to Anfield in 1965 the Munich song was sung with great fervour by the Kop on every single occasion we played Man U, so for well over 20 years before Hillsborough.
The fact that we suffered our own loss put paid to it I'm glad to say, but it doesn't undo the appalling attitude of our fans for many, many years to the Munich disaster
Just heard on the radio that the Manc supporter's trust are claiming that the chant was aimed at Suarez not Hillsborough.
Yeah right
It's the same tune that they used to sing 'you killed your own fans' too, they changed it after Suarez to the victims one but it definitely still is a reference to us, in their eyes, never accepting blame for anything such as Heysel, Suarez's guilt in their eyes and Hillsborough.
By not directly mentioning Hillsborough they can sing it and then claim innocence. I read elsewhere even the Sunday supplement journos where scathing of that defence claiming it to be a snide way to sing about it and then claim they didn't.
