Man arrested at Wembley over '97' football shirt

The FA said it condemned the action, which it said referred to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.

Doesn’t this tool even think that many of the people who died were fathers , mothers ,someone’s brother ,sister and most upsetting of all children? How would he feel if he had had lost any of the above ?
Anyone who would wear that or agree to print it are scum in my view .

 

[arctic rime]

Who the hell printed it ?

 

[maws]

He’s not going any games soon. As soon as his names released, well I fear for his job and safety to be honest.

Only lives round the corner. Felt it a good idea to have a laugh with the lads. But just No. should name and shame him.

 

[WKFWolf]

Imagine he was after some pretend Internet points or validation

Glad to see him arrested quickly and could have serious repercussions for him

 

[Macman]

Who the hell printed it ?

This is what i keep thinking too. Shame on the company/people responsible for accepting the request to make it.

He must have a brain the size of a pea. What an absolute *****.

From attention to detention hopefully.

 

[ewarwoowar]

i am probably answering my own question here but don`t these people think about what they are doing or the possible consequences?agree with all the names used for this plank and am sure many others can be thought of,should be made to explain his action as it is not big or clever but disgusting

 

[Immigration wolf]

It’s abhorrent, but I’m sure pretty much all of us when we were younger sang “the Munich song” during matches against United.
Don’t castigate, educate.

Not me. Don't bundle "all of us" into that ****.

Scary thing is that both numbers have the official premier League emblem on them... Does that mean that it was printed at an official shop, possibly either man utd or sports direct?

Generally I'm inclined to agree, but there are limits. I mean how much education do you need to know that celebrating 97 people being crushed to death is not a thing to celebrate?

I never sang anything like that. Only idiots do.

As much as we all agree the man is a fool, I thought Britain was a place where you had freedom to speak and freedom of expression? 100% agree that you have to educate but some people aren't open to be educated. Arresting them just hardens their thought process and encourages them to continue. People like this are best ignored and all that has happened now is that he has achieved the notoriety he was seeking. Wouldn't surprise me to see even more examples of this tasteless crap.

Can’t say as I’ve ever heard us sing it. Not saying it didn’t happen, just not heard it.

Used to happen in the 70's and 80's in the South Bank.

Fair enough. I was always in the Molineux street stand or later on in the north bank when we’ve played them, so that probably explains it.

Or letting it go makes others think its okay for them to do too?

No, we are not like the USA, there is not an unfettered "right" to say, write, or otherwise express what ever you like. Our freedom of expression is balanced, in law , by various protections and respect for the rights of others.

Agreed, Jos, and the problem was compounded when his brain fell out of his ear.

Absolute lowest of low life.

Nor me, never heard of it until more recently.
None of the people I used go games with did either, 60's and 70's.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

The worrying thing is he will have worn it expecting people to find it hilarious.

All stems from a callous and vacuous society where any attention at all is better than none.

I hope they make an example of him. Complete and utter idiot.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

It was a Man U shirt

It may well be one of their shirts, but I am certain that Manchester United would disassociate themselves with this idiot. How anyone could do such a thing is beyond me.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

You would have thought friends, family, people he went with, United fans at Wembley would have have told him, 'bang out of order' take it off! Perhaps they did but their pleas were ignored.

 

[sheffwolf]

I wonder if any other Man U fans called him out on it?

Birds of a feather flock together, so probably not.

James White - Member of Britain First convicted of physically assaulting a security guard in 2020 who was outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Also a convicted arsonist.

Sounds like an absolute treasure.

Could have been a kid with a Saturday job who didn’t get the relevance?

Thing is though, he has freedom of speech. He publicly put on a shirt what he wanted to say.

Freedom of speech however doesnt mean there arent consequences for what you choose to say.

I know a lot of people have already made the point, but that's because we're pretty ****ed off at the words "pretty much all of us" in your post. Never heard it sung by Wolves and would have never have contemplated singing it in the 70s / 80s / 90s/ 00s. In other words never. Don't know anyone else who would have contemplated it either. Maybe it has been sung in the past but not by "pretty much all of us."
