    Did anyone else see tonight's tv programme on the Munich aircrash?
    I thought that it was excellent. It really brought to life the human tradegy, very touching and quite emotional.

    I only managed to catch the end where Bobby Charlton was struggling to come back. Anywhere I can watch the full thing?

    I watched the first hour of it but then went out so never saw the end (last 50mins). From what I saw it was emtional and well portrayed.

    The whole country was in mourning for those guys that died. The Busby Babes will never be forgotten.

    Sad to think that 53 years later they are the most hated team in the country.

    More than likely will be on iPlayer for those who missed it. It really is worth watching.

    I thought it was very good. Didn't know much about it and really opened my eyes, was quite sad.

    Busby's son has claimed it was inaccurate.

    If it isn't accurate then its a joke. I know it was a film based on a true event but i'd rather see a documentary about it which was extremely accurate. A pity that, as I didn't know much about the plane crash and thought it opened my eyes to it. Maybe not though.

    P.s. Its already on Iplayer

    Fergie doesn't exactly endear himself to anybody outside of Manchester.

    Great programme - rare that you get a prpoer prog about footy thats well made. Still hate Fergies Man Utd, but got a bit more respect for Man Utd the Club now - the media bring up Munich on anniversaries, but the club itself has always got on with job without bringing it up constantly themselves - unlike the scousers, who love to wallow in self pity.

    You'll still be able to read articles from the papers covering the accident if you do a Google search on it.

    Frank Swift the famous England and Man City goalkeeper was on the plane after being at the game to report on it. It was a very tragic story all round.

    It was a very tragic story, definitely. I'm just saying I didn't want them to make a film out of it and 'change' what happened in order to make it more appealing to an audience. Basically I'm saying that I personally would have preferred it to have been very accurate even if it was a film (a documentary would have been good too)

    Try putting it on pause for a while so it can buffer/render the film so it won't keep on pausing. Its working fine on mine so it might be that your internet connection is slow too. Try closing all the porn videos as well...that might help
