Isn't it time the FA took action against clubs who come out with this type of trash.
Same old Munichs.......

I've got to say it's disgusting, I am extremely embarassed that Liverpool fans used to do the same thing, Man City should be warned to do something about it! 
That is just as bad as rascism and should be dealt with in the same way.

A couple of years ago my ten year old nephew (a City fan) called me a "Munich"...
He said that's what people call United fans...
I just sat him down and explained to him where the name comes from and how it was a quite reprehensible thing to call a United fan...
About how it was referring in a very disparaging way to a great tragedy, I've never heard him say that word since...
One nil to common sense and tolerance...
Am I wrong, or didn't Frank Swift, former great City-player, die in Münich aswell??
They all call us Munichs...
They know it annoys us.

My 7 year old nephew is a bitter and after the match he was calling us munichs and we also had to explain it to him.His grandad and maternal uncles are all blues and take him to the games so I doubt it will easily go away.
Unfortunately the rivalry within the city of Manchester is intense and if the disaster was on the other foot red mancunians would do a similar thing.
Good friendships are lost even in the playgrounds due to team loyalty,supporting your team is on the level of religion,so animosity is to be expected.
I know its not on the same par but how many on here were in the east stand singing songs about inbreeding and incest to bolton fans?

i wonder how they go home and look into the mirror after minimizing such a tragedy into simply trash talking.. it's a shame.. real shame..
Just think of Munichs as Munich S "Munich Shockers" as that is certainly what we done to Bayern Munich in the Nou Camp in 1999 as they where passing around the t-shirts with "Bayern München Champions League Sieger 1999" boy did they get a double shock, and those t-shirts dissapeared at faster than light speed.

i don't think songs about inbreeding strike the same chord as munich references, sin. . .unless of course there really are bolton fans with webbed feet and 12 fingers.
most football fans know where to draw the line between banter and outright intended offence. . .comments about tragedies such as munich and hillsborough are beyond the pale, and anyone who makes light of them is scum, quite frankly.
That's at least ten thousand liverpool fans then...
Scum.
Scum.

thanks.
more constructive comment.
It's just a shame that it took a tradegy like Hillsborough for the Scouse to stop singing their famous Munich song. Even Heysel wasn't enough for them to stop but thankfully they saw sense after the Hillsborough disaster.
