Manchester City have issued a statement to confirm that they have banned fans who were involved in making sick chants about the late Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
Charlton passed away last week at the age of 86, and will undoubtedly be missed by so many in the game after a great career for Man Utd and England.
A minority of City supporters seemingly got involved in mocking Charlton’s death, and the club now say they’ve acted quickly to ban them from all home and away games, while the matter is also being looked at by the police.
A club statement said: “Manchester City can confirm that two minors have been identified in connection with the vile chanting heard at the Etihad Stadium. The individuals in question have subsequently been suspended from attending all home or away fixtures and their details have been shared with Greater Manchester Police, who are investigating the matter.
“Following the conclusion of Greater Manchester Police’s ongoing investigation, the individuals will be subject to the club’s official sanctions and bans process.”
Only Two I Believe If You Check Your CCTV You’ll See There Was A Lot More Than Two It’s An Absolute Disgrace These City Fans Should Be Banned For Life 🫵👎😡
Why?
If you have to ask why you are as bad as them or are you thick
Spot on
Agree
I totally agree
Two so far, but i guarantee there’s many more to come.
In all honesty there wasn’t many more singing, perhaps 6-8 idiots, they should face a lifetime ban
I take it you didn’t see the video more like 40/50 not 8
Totally agree
I’m a Liverpool fan but bobby transcends football rivalry
Awesome player for Manchester Utd and for England
RIP Sir Bobby
They are not football fans or even decent human beings, their parents must be so proud of them, name and shame them.
Utterly disrespectful i was so upset to hear of is death. And Utterly disgusted to the chants of some man City fan’s. I wonder what kind of world our children will have. It doesn’t matter what team they play for Respect cost’s nothing. So pleased to hear they are banned.
This kind of thing makes me sick, these city fans should never be able to get on another stadium of any kind in Britain again and they need to be re-educated as well I just can’t believe we still have morons such as this in our so called cultured society
Well said
I agree 💯💯💯💯 with John coyle
You can’t be serious saying a city fan has culture
This is disgusting to chant abuse at such a legend they should be banned 🚫 for life.🤬
They should be named and shamed hope there parents are proud of them got no respect and fans from different clubs will respect the loss of one of the greatest footballer in the country RIP Bobby Charlton 🙏
How can you comment such a vile thing .
How can they be banned from any football stadium if they can’t be named and shamed? They were old enough to act as they did so they should be named . Every football stadium should display the photos of the culprits so that they will be recognised by the fans if they try to get into any matches .
Well done use cctv to kick out the rest Bristol fan
What is that teaching our next generation it’s appalling this should not happen these days and so disrespectful to our legend Sir Bobby Charlton
I doubt that there was only a couple of youngsters involved l, they must have followed some other older people I’m sure they were the only ones. mJw and shame them sll
City can only ban those morons that have been identified.
Never mind City don’t want these morons. Society doesn’t want them.
They have cctv which can zoom into any area in the stadium, so for all the snowflakes and morons who think it’s ok to teach the younger generation that if they don’t play for their team then it’s ok to disrespect any other player from another team but as they say or write it’s only banter it’s still teaching them its ok to mock them
Disgusting to mock the life of anybody nevermind someone who has done so much for England these toe tags prob sit in there mums back bedroom all a day on the Xbox proper wasteman
It is disgusting behaviour.Sir Bobby helped our country to glory back in 1966,he always made time for anyone from all walks of life.These morans should be named and shamed in their in local newspaper, remember the late Brian Clough took action to do that in 1978 and to add to that name and shamed on social media.
Name and shame and I think it was more than two so they need to identify them all. Good on Manchester City doing the right thing.
What is the matter with these Scumbags they should be banned for life
To be fair if they ban more than two then their home games will have nobody in the stadium bar the away supporters! …
#cantfilltheetihad …
Old and tired.
To mock such a legend is vile and disgusting and these scumbags should be named and shamed. Their parents must be very proud of what they have dragged up.
Doesn’t matter who they are nobody should disrespect anyone who has died ,death has such a major impact on so many people, its disgusting that those fools think it’s OK to be so vile ,
I’m not a football fan but it disgusts me the way society is heading at the moment no respect for anything even the dead their parents want to hang their heads in shame but society let’s them get away with it
2 kids out of 50,000 City fans . They had no idea who Sir Bobby was or how good he was ( IMHO the greatest Englishman ever to ply the game ) . Stupidity at its greatest . They will learn . To hang draw and quarter them and include every other City fan in the headline fits the media narrative . RIP Bobby it was an absolute pleasure watching the best English player to have ever lived . P.S I’m City daft ….. Don’t believe all you read .
What else do you expect from Manchester both are has bad has the other. Sir Bobby was Iconic in more ways than just football. They should be banned for life!! From watch City simple has that but they were not the only ones! Rest in peace Sir Bobby Charlton 💔🙏 YNWA 🔴
I served in the Royal Navy, the rule was you respected your enemy no matter what, I am 77 , grew up in the golden era of supporters sharing a pie and a beer from either side, now I utterly despair , at how ok maybe a few ,do the most vile things, I never got over in around 1969 while on leave , a man claiming to be a Cockney Red, meaning a group claiming to support Man Utd, for the first time ever, rival supporters lashed out at home supporters , a girl aged nine was with her Dad ,suddenly tore off his jacket showing a Man U scarf , he scream , we. Are the cockney reds , then he punched this lovely girl right on her nose , all hell broke out, as a couple more of these scum ,started lashing out, I grabbed the girl to shield her and got her to safety , the St John helped me. I gave the police my I.D card and I left the ground never feeling more sick. Now this god what ever happen to destroy a far happier world. I grew up, in.
Thank you City from a ManU fan. I appreciate your actions.
They probably don’t even remember Sir Bobby and what he stood for.
He stood for sportsmanship, decency,respect and received global recognition for his gentlemanship on and off the football field,
These morons should never be allowed in a football ground again
Scum of the earth expect nothing less from this shower of filth 😡😡😡🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
