How many people are at all interested in the anniversary of the Munich disaster? It happened when I was about a year old so its relevance to me from a memory perspective is zero, however reading this weekends papers, I have felt quite chiked about it. maybe I am just an old softie, but I would not be unhappy for a minutes silence, far more appropriate than for some we have stood for in the past. I don't think that there are any plans for this and I am not advocating it. What does anyone else think about it.

This is how some people think about it
Yes it's true that Man U became the huge fan based club partly because of it but it was still a terrible thing.
Lets not forget that Duncan Edwards who died of his injuries 15 days after the crash, is considered by those who played with him like Bobby Charlton as the greatest player he ever played with. What would England fortunes have been if he had survived.
Lets also not forget that Frank Swift ex Man City, one of the greatest 'keepers this country ever produced and who kept Sam Bartram out of the England team died in the crash.
Can we imagine how we would feel if it happened to our team?
It's fitting to mark the 50th anniversary with a tribute.
And for the dickhead fans across the country who sing the "who's that lying on the runway" song they should be ashamedof themselves.
Nation on film
I don't know too much about it, but it is very sad, and I'm sure should it happen again in this day and age to any team in the top flight it would be tragic and not something to be made light of.
As an aside, that wheels on the bus song is horrible.
But I just don't trust the provinical northern monkeys who go to England games
Yes, they are rivals. They SHOULD sing songs about each other, maybe slating thier fans, their style of football most thing are pretty acceptable. I don't see however how any human being can take pleasure in laughing/singing about another persons death.
it doesnt matter who it is, the loss of a life is a horrible thing, all those people who dies have families, a little respect isnt much to ask.
Unfortunately a few idiots sung that at Scunny.
I really don't like that song, I do think there is a boundary to the stuff you should sing
I'm not going to, it's my personal moral boundary, you sing what you like
there was more things we should be trying our hardest as fans to get rid of some of the fith that was sung on saturday was way way over the top way worse than that.
o dear o dear that naughty naughty George Costa song im writing to every Millwall fan and saying sory. Done six 3 more to do.
and as for the i take little jimmy to footie and i dont like the swearing do you really think kids dont swear at school ?
My little un hears every word however he also knows that i wont tolerate him saying it .
i do feel that some people should take in to account their surroundings before they say what they say
some of the stuff sat was wrong and as an adult i did not enjoy hearing it i do feel that when it gets that bad as a group of people we need to have a word and get it reigned in a tad,
as for breaking seats what point did that prove or what did it achieve???
all on camera the OB was filming from the min it started just brings heat on all taht was there and i am sure no one would have wanted a tug up there long way home and all that
There are laws in this land and what is being sung is obscene and illegal. The boundaries keep being pushed and I for one would wish that the Club in conjuction with the Police and the Stewards (home and away) extract the people responsible and ensure they are charged.
Just because you are in a crowd of 1000 or 25000 doesnt give you the right to use these obscenities.
Football fans always have and always will sing rude songs. They have taunted fans and players alike.
But that is different to the utter filth that some people think they can come out with.
I think the OB would have lifted him outside alot easier and would be surprised if they didnt.
maybe there should be more fan intervention and policing of ourselves i know that in the past it is what happened even if it is just to keep the OB away from our selves i reckon that there was proberly a few already holding what you need to bring to Alans party and if i was one of those i wouldnt want the OB on top of me or my group.
As for getting involved on the things that are said as a confrontation for not seeing eye to eye i reckon all that would achieve is in fighting and that just gets you nicked as well as them
So its Valley F Road

boring
on the obscene part
there was sieg heil seig heil
and you wouldnt have done it if i was black
Personally I have never liked the collective 'whose the w*nker in black'. Disrespectful. When was that first sung I guess. I dont remember it as a kid. Its crept it and now its accepted as a standard.
Your mothers got syphilis wasnt the most intelligent of chants either. My mother wasnt at Scunthorpe. Nor was my wife or daughter. Thankfully.
Charlton has a proud reputation for developing as a family club and getting more youngsters and women coming to the matches. Yes its always been a mans game and a working mans game at that where there is a chance to vent your spleen. I do that and yes I swear.
But a small minority seem to want to take it to its most crude and obscene.
