You're an American, disconnected from this. Both sets of fans have elements that mock Hillsborough and Munich - both are wrong. But Hillsborough is something that very deeply affected an entire city, is recent, and the people that died were supporters, neighbours and family. It's not just something that happened on TV to us.
Second, it has nothing to do with the FA. European football is governed by UEFA, an entirely seperate organization.

You're right..I don't know why I put FA..just mark that half of the post a mental lapse
I know that Hillsborough is sacred.. I was just on a piss rant.. It doesn't matter what my nationality is.. doesn't mean I'm as disconnected as you think.. either way.. I shouldn't have brought that here. I was just getting tired of the scousers over on the United boards registering and then making horrible comments about the Munich disaster. Some of the things they said had nothing to do with the match Saturday. It was callous and crude.. and given the chance to go back and look..I was at that level when I posted that. So I offer my full apology. It's one of those things a person says that really isn't meant but is completely stupid either way. I know that some fans give shit about the Hillsborough and the Munich disaster.. I just wish some of them would start showing some class.
But anyway.. sorry to open a wound; and again.. don't think I'm actually that disconnected just because I'm American. I have an awful lot of family in the UK
.. you also probably think I'm some glory hunting foreign fan.. this is not even close to the truth. I'll wear that crest no matter what happens.
So again.. apologies for the Hillsborough remark.
