I’d like to know when that was first sung
Was it before hillsborough?
Must try harderAll I’ve done is point out exactly where you said people don’t know about Hillsborough. You also said it in a post further up.
My question was was it sung before hand
Because if it was then it’s been morphed into something else
Did you miss the sentence in my post that referred to Hillsborough? And where in that song does it mention a guy in a coma?
I didn't associate the "victim's" line with Hillsborough, nor the lad in the coma. All I saw was a bunch of players celebrating. If that is the connotation, I apologise.
To my knowledge Since Hillsborough and only by Everton and United up until i'd say 2008 then the rest started latching on to it. I cant remember it being sung by any of the clubs home or away who are now singing it.
Gents, this is a very emotive subject can we please agree to disagree over this one and move on. Football banter is one thing, but, this is not football banter.
Let’s be honesty Tashly,what ever you’d said you’d av been on to loser anyway. 🙄Ave been a good boy and kept out of it. 😘🤗

Team or player Bri, ie, those in an official capacity, I put all teams have kn@bhead fans.Did you miss the sentence in my post that referred to Hillsborough? And where in that song does it mention a guy in a coma?

"no team or player should be singing about other clubs, regardless of circumstances."
C'mon Paul. not "regardless of circumstances" I stood on the terraces at Ayresome Park for donkey's years singing many songs that where both humorous and gentle banter between fans. My seat at the Riverside was close to the away end and had great banter. Yes there's idiots on both sides but some of the best pints I've had have been with opposition fans, home and away. Had a great time in a pub in Liverpool a couple of seasons back with the red fans before the game. Was the only Boro fan in a pub in Sheffield last year, sat with a couple of dozen Wednesday fans. In both cases there was banter and singing. Its part and parcel of the game, and long may it continue.

Team officials, etc set the tone.
Ignorance is not an excuse!Who said they don't know it happened, you're just looking for an angle. It was nearly 30 years ago and these tragedies eventually fade from our collective memory, do you honestly believe those city players were deliberately wanting to cause offense to the families of those who died? Like i said, most wouldn't have had a clue
Seriously! You are equating a pop song to a fans chant taking the p!ss out of rivals and risking offending them.Why can't a team and its officials have a sing, e.g. Queen's "We are the champions." I disagree with you on the no singing under any circumstances. If the City players knew the connotations of victims, as has been explained for those of us who didn't know, then yes it was wrong.
For the bit about Kompany catching Salah, wrong at the time of the offence but banter in the song.
As for any other comments, I'm with Tashy. There's bits I could add but as DCB says, its too emotive a subject and is best left alone.

You are missing the point, lets agree for one moment it’s not about Hillsborough or Sean Cox.And now you're being way too sensitive!!! At least read everything I wrote AND digest it. Listen, not just hear.
You have said officials shouldn't sing songs under any circumstances, or do you just mean songs that reference things like Hillsborough or Munich? I said why can't they have, in effect, a general sing song? Are they supposed to just sit quietly drinking tea from china cups? Where have I equated a pop song with a rival's chant that would offend people? You really need to dial it back a bit Paul, as it looks like the red mist is taking over.
You will also see that I have already apologised for not realising it was about Hillsborough. Hillsborough, Munich, Bradford & Heysel should never ever be forgotten and deserves the greatest respect and deference.
But that doesn't seem to stop people not accepting the apology with the good grace it was given with. The holier than thou "is extremely ignorant" from LiverpoolPhil typifies the ignorance from some 'pool fans too. Not everyone survives on every word coming out of the Liverpool Echo.

They said in their statement it was about fans in Kiev and Kompany’s tackle.
Professional Footballers should not be singing about any fans of any team getting beat up and certainly not about one of their players injuring another.
Hundreds of other songs could of been song, not one mocking rivals.
Totally unprofessional from the Man City Staff.
