Off Topic CITY SHOW THEIR CLASS -AND IT IS VERY LOW

good you you

 

even still tobes, even if that is the reason for the chant, bit unprofessional and sad of city players not fans to be doing that.

All the way to North London
Just to watch the Son
Liverpool won five
City have got none
Sterling thought he'd won it
The Etihad got loud
VAR saved football
The goal was disallowed

Allez Allez Allez

nothing wrong with that chant and its a little piss take to city losing on var, but they are singing about fans getting battered ffs.

 

According to Man City the song is perfectly innocent and they sing it all the time

 

I am surprised at City fans descending to the levels of Chelsea´s!! Even more the so, the players indulging in the sing song as well.

 

Wow - the City team and staff reveal themselves to be classless parvenus, and the surprise and shock on here. Grow some, win the CL and sing songs about them. Oh, and Tobes - much as I respect you, you're turning into the Kelly Ann Conway of every/any club that Liverpool has a gripe with. I truly don't believe for one moment that you don't believe the FAN'S version is a reference to Sean Cox. That the likes of Walker are singing it after what he said on that bus about Liverpool as a city (your Liverpool too, btw) makes me believe he knows it too. Not so sure about the likes of Kompany though.

 

Back in the day on the steps of the Walker Art Galley at the homecoming after our first European Cup win Emlyn Hughes was handed the microphone, he like the other players were drunk, he started chanting "Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic", there were loads of blues in the 200k people who were in attendance and many more Evertonians on the route around the city, many wearing their club colours.

What Hughes chanted was a terrace chant that kopites sang before games, in the aftermath Hughes was slated by the media and EFC and their fans(rightly so), Hughes made a public apology and the Kop stopped singing the offending song, yet apparently a song about "victims" and "fault" sang by Everton fans is totally acceptable no matter what the perceived meaning of the lyrics by Liverpool supporters.

In 1985 before the terrible events of Heysel two elderly Middlesbrough fans were killed by the massive gates of the away end at Ayresome Park which were pushed over by Man Utd fans.
Before an FA Cup final between Man Utd and Crystal Palace a Palace fan was stabbed and then chased in front of a bus and died.
Both of those sad events are never taken into account when Utd fans sing "murderers" songs aimed at LFC.

The City song sang by players rejoicing in the injury to Salah should be investigated by the PFA, their club has denied the references to violence against Sean Cox and Hillsborough is valid, why not just apologise for any offence taken and build bridges instead of condoning it?

LFC followers have without doubt sang sick songs about Munich and rightly been slagged off for doing so, same goes for Utd fans and their Hillsborough songs, but City PLAYERS singing songs about violence to fans and injury to a fellow professional is as low as a snakes belly.

 

Who's the person at the back with the cap. Kompany? If so, he's the only player singing from the start that I can see.

Seems people at the back are singing. Tbf to Walker and the other players they don't do anything until the chants of "Allez Allez Allez" at the end and that part is more the celebration of a team that's just won a trophy. You could argue that even though they weren't singing, players like Walker could've stood up, turned around and then told them to stop but that depends on whether they knew the song, and whether they wanted to just let them be prats. But from what I can see the players didn't sing those words which suggests either they didn't know the words or didn't want to get involved.

I am disappointed by City fans as the vast majority don't do these types of songs traditionally. However, with "new money and success" some seem to be gaining an arrogance with a "don't give a fck" attitude. Bit like Chelsea, but their fans were ****s before the money, which wasn't the case with City fans in the vast majority.

Either way, the "battering on the streets" comment is inexcusable for any club member or fan to sing.

 

I don't think it's a direct reference to Cox but the fact is he was injured after our fans being attacked on the streets and even if they are referring to the game in Kiev and the violence there it is still a bit thoughtless seeing as one of our fans was subject to extreme violence and such a terrible injury.

 

Yeh this is particularly important. I just don't see why anyone would want to think up those lyrics in the first place tbh. I'm not a fcking snowflake but something has to be wrong with you to think "oh I know lets say we kick the **** out of their fans, that'll piss them off". Strange mentality.

 

If the Sean Cox thing hadn't happened it still wouldn't be very nice but it happens and you shrug it off but it did happen and you have to take this into consideration.

 

It's what you expect from (some) fans, but not from players. Violence in football is something that all clubs should routinely condemn. I would have expected the club to instruct them to apologise then it would all blow over. If they remain defiant then it will rumble on.
It doesn't really matter who is being referenced, the club should distance itself from it as a PR exercise if nothing more.

On a side-note, the Beeb has this to say (my highlight):

Who else would have been present?

 

Flight attendants

 

Yeah. They're notoriously anti-LFC and frequently lead their passengers in abusive chants, I've noticed.

 

It’s been sung since the start of the season so the Sean Cox reference is wrong as that happened after
I thought it was very shabby from the players and the victim analogy is precisely what you assume it to be which makes it much worse in my opinion
Pretty classless as you say

 

Since the Suarez case was raised (not sure by whom) let's pretend the FA charge City with misconduct under E3 - not that I'm suggesting at all that they do. Remember, there was absolutely no evidence whatsoever to charge Suarez in a criminal court - had there been, the CPS were duty bound by law to charge him regardless of the wishes of his 'victim'.

So, in the FA panel hearing - not even a quasi court, as such - it was made clear Suarez was charged under SUBJECTIVE evidence (i.e. what did Evra think he meant, not whether Suarez intended it or not), and on the balance of probabilities, with no assumption of innocence that would be afforded even in a proper civil court. In those circumstances, and using this case as a precedent, could anyone, even Tobes, Barr or Sarah Sanders, honestly believe that song doesn't refer to Sean Cox?

All that said, move on and, hopefully, give it them back on the first of June. Just stop insulting our intelligence that it's about barely reported skirmishes and Ultra ambushes in Kiev.

 

The Sean Cox thing happened AFTER Kiev? You need to think that one through again. See, this is what is wrong about this - the rush to defend City from the wailing 'victims' is making some people grasp at any straw in the wind.

 

Not sure what you're saying here about Sean Cox incident 'happened after'. After what, the start of this season? Because it didn't.

Edit: just seen above comment, was typing at the same time

 

Thought Sean Cox incident happened earlier this season ?

 

It happened a year ago (April 2018) at the SF first leg at Anfield v Roma.
