What did those people chant ?

Well done. I have to say that City have tended to be fairly lax on banning fans for this sort of thing, so hopefully this is a sign of change.

Is it offensive to ask what they were chanting?

Big Up City get those cunts banned

Classy move City. I would want my club to take the same action if the situation was reversed.

Etihad does be empty enough as it is.

That's class.

I wish clubs would take all forms of abuse seriously including racist abuse of players. Lifetime bans.

they finally get some fans and they turn out to be pricks lmao

Sports are full of trash talk but it is just a game at the end of the day. When the talk goes beyond simple insults and instead is directed at the dead or violence, it should not be tolerated.

I think City is right to ban them as it is clear these people are incapable of keeping their heads on straight and understanding the limits of this game. We have too many man children in todays age

I would love them to play one home game with no home supporters

This sport is going downhill more and more everyday

Of all the players to revel in one's death, you pick on the classiest most gentleman footballer that probably ever played in England.

Absolute tossers.

Why would they do that tho? Aside from being idiotic dumb fks like if ur English why on earth would u talk crap about england arguably greatest talent ever

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These idiots had it coming.

It was just some banter in poor taste. Doubt Sir Bobby would care. He's heard much worse.

If I had had the kind of talent and impact on a sport and a club as Bobby Charlton, I honestly think I'd be damn well pleased if said club's rivals would be cheering my death for no other reason than the fact I was a great player, 50 years after I stopped playing.

No higher praise, in my book.

I think they should be named and shamed once identified. Show these young POS the hard way that their actions do bear consequences and make them rethink if it was worth screwing up the rest of their lives now that no one will want to hire the disrespectful twats because they mocked someone who just passed.

If he gets to be a hero to some for something as inconsequential and pointless as kicking a ball around its only fair he can be a villain to some as well.

The right response is ignoring it, taking it as light banter from rivals and total strangers who didnt personally know the man and moving on.

I hope they are ready to ban 90% of the league when Fergie dies.

City fans- total scum.

Is it offensive? Who’s offended? Is it not more offensive to equate this to racism or homophobia?

the silver lining about that is that this could be a wake up call for those dumbfucks, considering they looked like teenagers or young adults

but who im kidding, prob won't change a thing

Unluckyyyyy. Stupid cunts

Good. Man won a World Cup for England, deserves respect
