FA Cup semi final

1 minute silence at the start of the LFC V MCITY cut short due to chants from Man City supporters.

This match was watched around the World.

Well done if you were at the match and chanted, you have shown the World what a shit fan base you have.

Why do they do this?

97 people died going to a game, men,women and children and they cant put football aside for 1min.

I know there are City fans on fab, can you explain why you or your fans do that?

The tv cameras should have screened the fans that were chanting.

Personally, I think that there are far too many football "fans" in general who are disrespectful, aggressive, and down right tribal in their behaviour. I find it incredible that people are willing to take children into that environment.

Comparing a smashed coach to 97 dead women,men and children crushed to death watching a football game.

The events at Hillsborough has made football grounds safer for everyone and has shown what Govt and police corruption and media can do.

Well done you for explaining why they were chanting during a 1min silence. It was because of a smashed up coach.

I’m with an argument that they need to stop doing this unless they have confidence that it in the interest of both teams, ie remember ace day etc.

United have their own disaster that they hold a silence for that is/was often disturbed, eso from Liverpool fans so you can see how passionate I might be just as much as you are about this.

Your right op, it’s a disgrace when it’s about loss of life for 1minute and not a game of football.

Shame on those that try to disrupt peace in the world

I agree.

Dont get that in other sport.

Rugby,cricket,tennis fans etc all sit together.

I see some of these fans with their kids swearing and fighting etc, what kind of parent are you?

Well done the City fans for saving Klopp the bother of writing a motivational speech to the team.

There's banter. And there's disrespectful cuntish behaviour.

And no, it doesn't compare to vandalising a coach.

Thanks. I agree, any fans that disrupt a min silence should be ejected from the stadium and have their season ticket taken away whatever club you support.

Clubs are not doing enough.

We respect the min silence for the Munich disaster every year as it was more than about football.

Silence is the norm for respecting those who passed. At events like the Cenataph is apt and appropriate.

At a sports arena, football in particular, maybe applause should be the new norm.

I'm in agreement. Behaviour like that is deplorable, whatever the club, whatever the ground.

Here the talk is specifically about yesterday's game though.

I think football in general ( not all admittedly) portrays a disrespectful message

It’s players are at times a disgrace

They get paid far far too much

The fans at times come across as aggressive thugs

Whilst it may happen in other sports too, football is prolific for showing appalling behaviour amongst it players and fans

yes you are correct it’s about yesterday but the op on another thread had a go at city fans and labels them as toxic etc etc I thought that it was a sweeping statement to tar them all with the same brush so I pointed out that the behaviour of Liverpool fans isn’t exceptional and they didn’t like it and I was by no means comparing a loss of life to a few coaches getting bricked but it seems that’s how they took it

I’ll never take my boy to a football game again after the euros last year.

I go to Twickenham all the time and have never seen anything like I saw at Wembley. And it wasn’t the final I was at.

I’ll have to wait for the boy to age a few more years so he can protect me!!

I agree,

The UCL match between City and AM on tv the other day was awful to watch.

What AM did had no place in football and I hope there are sanctions and penalties to them.

I come into contact with more city fans and Liverpool fans than any other, so if we were all clever enough to figure out why, with my location it would be easy to have a biased view on who is worse, these are not the ‘worst fans’ I could reel off examples of bad form during ‘minute silences’. The op is right, it’s disgraceful and put City in the spotlight because of a few. You can’t justify it in anyway because’others have done it, so you can see why they might have!’

*this is the last I’m saying on this.

I also agree above, football fans as a whole are the worst type of sports fan. Its rare in other sports. I don’t know why.

I get you.

It's also why I say "some supporters".

My own team has some vile pricks in the stands too.

Unfortunately every team has them.

Their behaviour often has a galvanising effect on the opposition, as I suspect it did in yesterday's game.

I don't see why they can't see how it helps the opposition and just STFU.

I have loved football all my life.. but I'm not a fan of going to games.. I have seen grown adults acting disgustingly in front of kids, even their own.

However.. T and I love going to the women's football matches.. everyone sits together, there's a little bit of good natured banter.. but everyone is respectful of each other.. such a difference. I would highly recommend you go. Support football without arsehole "fans" without cheating players that act like they've just been shot if tackled.. it's an altogether more enjoyable occasion..

Cannot wait for the Women's FA Cup final.. even if my team doesn't make it.

There are pointless gestures and then there is paying respect to 97 people, football fans, who lost their life. I'm sure even the most moronic of football "fans" can understand that sometimes showing respect to other humans is a good thing to do.

The fact we have to replace a minutes silence with a minutes noise because we can't trust our fans enough speaks volumes.

I remember doing a minute's silence for Remembrance Day in primary school - most kids did manage it. The fact that adults can't is mind boggling.

Football also teaches deception watch the fake fouls and see the message that gives out.

Luckily for me I hate football so don’t have to tolerate that shit.

They are all as bad as each other. Not football fans just scumbags. I’ve been at United Liverpool matches in similar circumstances where they have chanted Munich 58. Disgusting. Any of it.

Stop with the football hate. Tribalism or not, psychology research has shown it is a great tool to help men with their mental health and that is a great thing given the current climate.

Keep on topic and stop being dicks.

I watched with a City fan (I'm an LFC fan) and he agreed what happened was disrespectful and disgusting

If these people cannot respect the memory of any disaster of people - that's what it's about at the end of the day, regardless of who they support - then those people should not attend.

As others have said, it's embarrassing being a football fan when other sports are so inclusive regardless of your affiliation

Any minute silence is a tragic loss of human life. Respect it

I agree 100%

Clubs and supporters need to do more and call out these idiots whatever team they follow and ban them.

When The City Lfc game finished last week there was some City fans gesturing over to lfc fans as if they had their face pushed up against fences and laughing ...it was all over twitter and reported to Man City and the Police but it still happens, these were men,woman and children mocking Hillsborough. They knew they were filmed and didnt care.

Sometimes humans can be inhumane.

Regardless of rights or wrongs and you can argue bad behaviour from all teams 'fan' base, however people who do this are not fans by any stretch, they are thugs looking for excuses to behave like a cunt.

If they were fans they wouldn't disgrace their club like this...

How peanut brained do you have to be to chant over a 1min silence in front of kids and think "Thats taught them"

"FA Cup semi final

1 minute silence at the start of the LFC V MCITY cut short due to chants from Man City supporters.

This match was watched around the World.

Well done if you were at the match and chanted, you have shown the World what a shit fan base you have.

Why do they do this?

97 people died going to a game, men,women and children and they cant put football aside for 1min.

I know there are City fans on fab, can you explain why you or your fans do that?

The tv cameras should have screened the fans that were chanting.

Him.

"

Again, following on from the semi final thread, the vast majority of City fans from around the world would have respected the minutes silence.

It was a small minority that spoiled the event.

But you cannot condemn the rest of the fan base with sweeping statements.

To do so you would have to look at the behaviour of all fans, including Liverpool, and their recent and past behaviour.

Attacking the City's players bus, singing songs about the Munich disaster at Man Utd games.

So, please don't throw stones in glass houses.

All teams have their ‘bad bunch’ who have disrespect for others. Thankfully they are a small element within the grounds and do not represent most fans.

Isn't it this sort of accusation that fuels the anger of the other? I doubt if it's helpful to blame an entire fan base for the behaviour of a few that, in all likelihood, disgusted the majority of them. I doubt if they are able to explain it any more than you can.

I don't watch football but I doubt if any affiliation of any sort is blameless. There are rogues amongst us, whatever our affiliations.

Or some of us do actually reflect (yes, during the Munich silence, I think of those poor people - as a LFC supporter)

Why should the idiotic amongst us reflect what we should or shouldn't do. Isn't stamping it out, starting with highlighting it, as in this thread, the better option.

It's hardly an empty gesture. It's very emotional for many people and is for the exact reason of showing respect. Let's not lose that ever just because some idiots decide they think being respectful for such a short time is impossible

Exactly, that is what I mean by them not being fans, if they were they wouldn't disrespect their team or the fans

Never see this shit in Rugby, one of my sons best friends plays for Scotland and has done so in the Nations. My boy goes to watch the matches when they play at home (Murrayfield) and is always welcomed by the Scottish team and fans...never had hassle.

Just not sure why grown adults have to act like knobheads

I find the whole concept of grown adults dragging their knuckles around the terraces faces screwed up in anger screaming and gesturing at each other very puzzling. Just enjoy the football.

And the need for the smaller elements to have a scrap afterwards is incredibly silly when you look at it. The justifications for such are laughable.

Too many supporters indulge in “whataboutery” and seem to think it’s some kind of contest to claim one set of fans are more disrespectful than the next!

As a Liverpool fan I’m rightly ashamed of all the occasions our own supporters have sung about Munich or smashed up opposition teams coaches. Equally though, I find it disgusting when other teams supporters can’t observe a minutes silence or resort to singing about people needing to use food banks all in the name of “banter”.

Sing about Gerrard slipping all you want, sing about things we haven’t won or moments in our history (on the pitch) all you want but disrespecting the dead is low and you quite clearly are just pond life

The food bank thing and the feed the scousers chants have always baffled me. It’s disgusting thing to chat about anyway but especially when one of their own players has been so vocal about trying to prevent child poverty and how it impacted his childhood.

Football, like all team based competitive sports, is at its extreme the most toxic tribal bullshit of them all. It being the most popular and has fans far and wide in all walks of life accomplishes this. The tribal nature of it turns things hostile quite quickly - especially among those they get fuelled up on multiple substances before watching a match.

It is embarrassing to see people act in such a way, regardless of the team they support. I know of somebody who will remain calm to all insults thrown about him and those he knows, but you say a bad thing about his team (Everton)... The man has done jail time for his reactions.

Moments such as this bring out the worst of the worst in the name of trying to stick it to the other team. And no fan base is above doing such things, and always there to attempt to take the morale high ground when it's an attempt against their team/moments.

I not sure if I agree or not with replacing it with applause, because there is no calling out their behaviour. Trying to drown them out in the noise is just sweeping it under the rug like it's not happening.

I guess maybe, if they are unable to be heard their attempt at what they think is "banter" falls flat, but that's not really combating their attitude to begin with.

Anyone with an allegiance to any club abusing a disaster isn’t a football fan just a mindless idiot. They just use football as an excuse for their behaviour and need banning from all football grounds. Loved the tribute to Ronaldo at last nights match from both sets of fans. That’s how it should be.
