Lol, people itt are baying for the banning and censorship of fans for wrongspeak. We can’t seem to decide if we want to live in an Orwellian or Demolition Man inspired dystopia.
Actually the most casual fanbase in all of football.
No one gives a fuck about City or the 15 fans they had pre-2008.
Is it offensive to ask what they were chanting?
Asking a question ain’t offensive mate 👏🏾
Shows what you know about Reddit.
DONWVOteD
Yeah I know most of the time u get downvoted for asking questions🤣, but that doesn’t mean its offensive
“Bobbys in a box”
Idiots
I find myself cringing a bit about how shit that is, agreeing with you that they're idiots, but thinking it's absolute overkill to ban people for it.
They have the right to exclude people for behaviour they don't want, it's a private stadium owned by a private company, but it's a bit OTT to me.
A temperary ban would be fair imo, permanently banning is a bit harsh

Classy move City. I would want my club to take the same action if the situation was reversed.
And so it should be, Franny Lee died the other week (with sadly much less fanfare it seems) and I'd be angry hearing United fans singing songs about his death
This is what baffles me about these twats
We just had Lee pass away and we'd be gutted if we saw united fans mocking that, so how these bellends got the gall to do it about bobby is beyond me
i might be wrong but isnt there a song about wanting the Glazers dead??
American Manchester United fan calling his rival team classy. This hits all the bingo spots
I feel like the existence of Hillsborough and Munich chants create something that cuts through our rivalry, we share that utter hatred for them. Which makes it additionally awful when the worst fans do it to each other.

they finally get some fans and they turn out to be pricks lmao
I would love them to play one home game with no home supporters
Why would they do that tho? Aside from being idiotic dumb fks like if ur English why on earth would u talk crap about england arguably greatest talent ever
soft
Depressing comment
It's one of the most heartless things to celebrate a person's death, especially for a petty things like sport rivalry. We don't live in medieval time anymore. Wake the fuck up.
its just a chant, yeah its bad taste but a stadium ban for that seems over the top to me
Agree, the punishment is soft.
Sir Bobby has more history than your entire club, get the fuck outta here lol
Fuck off with that, those arseholes obviously deserve a ban for mocking the death of one of England's greatest ever footballers. Are you one of those who's been banned?
Well done. I have to say that City have tended to be fairly lax on banning fans for this sort of thing, so hopefully this is a sign of change.

Unluckyyyyy. Stupid cunts
Big Up City get those cunts banned
Etihad does be empty enough as it is.
Of all the players to revel in one's death, you pick on the classiest most gentleman footballer that probably ever played in England.
Absolute tossers.
as if these clowns know that. they only know shit from YT
Never forget that Man City players and staff sang about Liverpool fans being "battered in the streets".
https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/outrage-man-city-players-filmed-16275920
The song was written shortly after Liverpool fan Sean Cox suffered life-altering injuries after being attacked in Rome. When confronted with this fact, what was City's defence? They weren't singing about Sean Cox, but rather they were singing about Liverpool fans being attacked by masked hooligans in Madrid (!)
So not only is the club built on financial doping, they've got a loooong history of being utterly classless. This horrible chant about Sir Bobby is just the most recent episode.

I mean, they have no idea of what happened prior to 2010, so I can understand they have no idea who he is.

That's class.
This sport is going downhill more and more everyday
I wish clubs would take all forms of abuse seriously including racist abuse of players. Lifetime bans.
Sports are full of trash talk but it is just a game at the end of the day. When the talk goes beyond simple insults and instead is directed at the dead or violence, it should not be tolerated.
I think City is right to ban them as it is clear these people are incapable of keeping their heads on straight and understanding the limits of this game. We have too many man children in todays age
Yeah I'm watching the Beckham docu with my girlfriend and she was like "why are they so mad at him" after he got sent off against Argentina and I was like "football fan culture is the most toxic out there".
I've been attending games since I was 5 (in multiple different countries) and fans everywhere are toxic, racist, insulting, provoking, violent.
I love football but the toxicity has been getting worse and worse and its now all over social media as well. That's my rant.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These idiots had it coming.
It was just some banter in poor taste. Doubt Sir Bobby would care. He's heard much worse.
I suppose we can call down to your house and sing that song about someone close to you has passed away!! It's just for the laugh!!

I think they should be named and shamed once identified. Show these young POS the hard way that their actions do bear consequences and make them rethink if it was worth screwing up the rest of their lives now that no one will want to hire the disrespectful twats because they mocked someone who just passed.
Lol mate. Have you ever heard of virtue signalling?
People actually got offended by that?
If I had had the kind of talent and impact on a sport and a club as Bobby Charlton, I honestly think I'd be damn well pleased if said club's rivals would be cheering my death for no other reason than the fact I was a great player, 50 years after I stopped playing.
No higher praise, in my book.
If he gets to be a hero to some for something as inconsequential and pointless as kicking a ball around its only fair he can be a villain to some as well.
The right response is ignoring it, taking it as light banter from rivals and total strangers who didnt personally know the man and moving on.
I hope they are ready to ban 90% of the league when Fergie dies.
the silver lining about that is that this could be a wake up call for those dumbfucks, considering they looked like teenagers or young adults
but who im kidding, prob won't change a thing
And why should they change? Who have they hurt?
Is it offensive? Who’s offended? Is it not more offensive to equate this to racism or homophobia?
