Is it going to take another tragedy for the sick chants to finally end?

    This. It's otherwise inexplicable from a logical standpoint.

  2. Shows how much notice I took of the banner. Don't give them the time of day

    This will only stop when you end this childish "but they sang it first" idea, get rid of this "their chant is worse" rubbish, acknowledge that it's totally disgusting and abhorrent on both sides and agree to weed out the minority of scumbags that sing them..

    Have the balls to stand up to these morons with their pathetic chants, report them, have them thrown out. It'll never go away, such is the size of the two clubs, and you'll always have a number of imbeciles who follow your clubs. A tremendous amount of self policing needs to happen in my opinion.

  4. Vast majority agree. Problem is we're talking a small small minority of thousands and thousands of people!

    UEFA said in a statement today: "UEFA has recently been made aware of several reports concerning alleged illicit chanting on the occasion of the UEFA Europa League ties between Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC of 10 and 17 March 2016.

    "As a result, a UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector decided to investigate further and gather potential evidence.

    "The two clubs have thus been asked to provide statements relating to the alleged incidents within 10 days."

    Nobody is disagreeing with the fact that it is unacceptable for either fan base. The problem is that its being made out as if the fans are equally as bad as each other, when its simply not the case. Man Utd fans sang about Heysel/Hillsborough at regular intervals over the 2 legs and had a banner taunting Liverpool fans about being murderers in between the games. After 2 legs of abuse about Hillsborough and chairs being thrown at them in the away end at Old Trafford (didn't happen at Anfield btw), a minority of Liverpool fans responded with Munich chants toward the end of the 2nd leg. They shouldn't have done so but to claim both sides are as bad as each other is a load of crap spouted by people who know **** all of the actual situation.

    It's stretching the point to say it was a 'minority' of United fans either.

    Yeah, if it was simply a minority they wouldn't be clearly audible on the TV. The "murderer" & "The s*n was right" chants were heard loud and clear in the 2nd leg (and apparently the 1st leg). When was the last time we heard chants about Munich from a number great enough to reach the TV microphones from Liverpool fans at Anfield or otherwise? I can't think of it happening, really.
