Personally don't think it should be a legal issue. It was in terrible taste, but it was meant as 'banter'. Obviously I don't condone it. But where does the line get drawn? Does the same apply to people doing aeroplane hands against Man U, but only if it's shared on social media?
What happens to these people after losing their jobs? Should they be exiled from having a career and need to live off the state or turn to crime?
All from doing something in very poor taste to wind some other fans up. If something is sung by a whole bunch of people in similar poor taste, they'd get away with it. And where is the line? Taking the piss out of a dead kid is pretty much the lowest it can get, but how many rungs up the poor taste ladder will get the same treatment? Who is the arbiter of what is a joke in bad taste and what is a criminal offense?
Initially the police and ultimately the courts. I think this fits the bill perfectly for criminal proceedings. As for even the suggestion it’s banter is almost as disgusting.
Pathetic that you've even suggested that my post is almost as disgusting as the act. Absolutely pathetic. I can't imagine how you get through life.
The fact you think this was and I quote “meant as banter” is enough for me to call you out on it. Take a look in the mirror pal.
Good lord. Clearly, I wrote that as in the guy doing it meant it as banter. It's not what I'd classify as banter.
Obviously you're just someone who loves to get offended and brand those that don't agree with you as disgusting, from way up there on your high horse.

You're a pillock mate.
Anyone who thinks it is in any way close to or meant as banter is the pillock. If that’s not what you meant to imply then apologies but that’s how I read it.
Section 4A of the public order act is the offence of intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress by your words or actions. Think that fits the bill pretty well with what he did.
So are the police selective about this public order offence? For years Man u fans have sung , chanted about Hillsborough. Youngsters were crushed to death, to my knowledge no ones never been arrested. If we are going to start handing out prison sentences for public order offences I hope its across the board.
This was brazen though. Unrealistic to expect the police to arrest or apprehend a few hundred arseholes but these two were signed sealed and delivered. They deserve to feel the full force of the law and of public disgust. Dreadful human beings.
Liverpool fans have always sung about Munich. I remember when we played Liverpool in the cup years ago, just after Paisley had died, our support sung songs about his death and that they would rather be "Asian" than Scouse. All support bases have scumbags, finger pointing about what has always happened doesn't help, going forward it has to be stopped.
First game of the season home to Liverpool at Selhurst park back in the eighties. We had a minute silence for Stuart Leary and through it Liverpool fans sang ‘who the fucking he’ll is he ‘ Classy scousers.
I remember that - shocking, but I wasn’t surprised, low life scummy Scouse wankers
Dejphon Chansiri unleashes astonishing call to 'negative fans' to pledge £2m in next days to 'save their club'. 'Cash flow issue' at S6. HMRC not paid. Player/staff ££ due today could go unpaid. Multi-window embargo concern.
"It's all your fault I messed up the running of the club and have my own cash flow problems but I'm giving you almost no time at all to raise £2m which won't buy you any shares but which I promise to pay back, cross my heart and hope to die. If you don't then don't criticise me, it's all your fault".
Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri says they have paid their bill with HM Revenue and Customs and will come out of a transfer embargo. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67289706

Individuals have their reasons but seeing so many empty hateful remarks here, reminds me of the idiot fans from other clubs who attacked us at times of existential crisis. Not a good look and I had hoped for better.
I agree.
I don't "hate" any fans or clubs. Obviously dont like Millwall & don't want to see them do well but "hate" ??
I agree about that but there are aspects of a club that I hate:
1. Having ’ultras’. I can’t say that I hate them as individuals, but as a collective, they belong in Marseille or Paris, not London. I hate them staining the English game.
2. Having dancing girls. They belong to USA sports, not English. If you want to see them in England go to a nightclub.
3. Using a live animal in the stadium. Is that really necessary?
4. Mixing blue and red. Traditionally in England clubs play in red OR blue. Not both.
They claim to be a big part of English football history (founded in when? 1584?) but actually they have no respect of English football traditions and my feeling for that goes beyond dislike.

Sheffield Wednesday have parted company with Xisco Muñoz, who leaves Hillsborough with immediate effect.
Xisco’s backroom staff - Miguel Muñoz, Miguel Gomila, Roberto Cuesta Roman and Antonello Brambilla - also depart the club.
Under-21s manager Neil Thompson will take the team for Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield Town in the Championship.
https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2023/october/club-statement/Wonder if the owner now saying he's not funding anything more and/or the manager going may have stopped any move.
Sheffield Wednesday have been put under a registration embargo by the English Football League because of money owed to HM Revenue and Customs.
It means Wednesday cannot register any players without prior written consent.

It's like me telling my son not to spend too much money when out shopping & then only giving him a fiver.
Fucking pointless.
