Puts football in its place when these sorts of things happen.

Just hope now that it all goes well at the manchester derby with both sets of fans respecting the minutes silence!

Well said mike, was nice to see the minute of silence last night hope the city fans respect them though

i am a manchester city fan and i am going to the derby on sunday and to be honest i think there will be a few idiots hu wont shut up for a minute. i will be paying my respects on sunday but i onistly cant see everyone being quite that whole time

Well you'll see who the real football fans are inside that stadium then Bell_Boy, and I hope that anyone who does try and cause a disruption gets what's coming to them.

R.I.P to all involved.

"Any fan who breaks the silence will get a ban from all stadiums forever"

yup i heard that as well, to right IMO.

nice to see it went smoothly.

yeah except the fireworks.... were they a tribute?

I think wearing a replica of the kit worn by the busby babes was a very nice touch.
Not sure about the fireworks though? Were they not gunshots? One for every United player that died maybe?

R.I.P to all who perished in the Munich disaster

It was nice to see that both sides of the party respected the minutes silence, It was a touching tribute to the 23 people that died in the munich air disaster, As for the fireworks i wasn't to sure as to whether that was part of the tribute or it was hooligans outside the ground?. If it was a tribute it was done at the wrong time with it being a minutes SILENCE!.

Apparently it was for the chinese new year.. just bad timing then!

February 6th will forever be circled on the calendars of everyone connected with Manchester United.

On that day in 1958, the darkest day in United's history, 23 people - including eight players and three members of the club's staff - suffered fatal injuries in the Munich air crash.

Flying back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade, the team plane stopped in Germany to refuel. The first two attempts to take off from Munich airport were aborted; following a third attempt, the plane crashed.

Twenty-two of the people on board died instantly, while Duncan Edwards - one of the eight victims from the team - died 15 days later as a result of the injuries he sustained.

The tragedy is an indelible part of United's history, as is Sir Matt Busby overcoming his injuries to build another great team which won the European Cup 10 years later.

Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), David Pegg (22), Tommy Taylor (26), Geoff Bent (25), Liam Whelan (22)...

... and Duncan Edwards (21) all died, along with club secretary Walter Crickmer, trainer Tom Curry and coach Bert Whalley.

Eight journalists died - Alf Clarke, Tom Jackson, Don Davies, George Fellows, Archie Ledbrook, Eric Thompson, Henry Rose, and Frank Swift who was a former Manchester City player. Plane captain Ken Rayment perished, as did Sir Matt's friend Willie Sanitof. Travel agent Bela Miklos and passenger Tom Cable also died.

We will never forget.


I thought it woul be nice to post it on here for those who don't fully understand the seriousness of the event.
