http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/15/crawley-town-manchester-united-munich-video
Quote : | "The biggest week in Crawley Town's history has begun in inauspicious circumstances after they discovered the video for their official FA Cup song ahead of Saturday's trip to Manchester United features a "fan" taunting their opponents for the Munich air disaster.
The non-league club have moved swiftly to defuse the embarrassment with their chief executive, Alan Williams, describing it as the "most upsetting thing he has ever had to deal with at the club".
Crawley have also called in the police and banned the offender for life after receiving complaints from United fans about the video accompanying the singer Mike Dobie's version of The Specials hit A Message To You Rudy, adapted to have the new title A Message To You Rooney.
Crawley posted the video on YouTube, as well as the club's website, without realising that one of the people dancing by the stage frequently makes aircraft gestures to mock the tragedy in 1958 when the plane carrying United's team crashed on the runway at Munich, killing 23 of the 44 passengers, including eight members of the team, on the way back from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade.
The video was filmed at Crawley's ground last Tuesday, two days after the 53rd anniversary of the tragedy, and the same man can also be seen simulating a plane crashing into the ground and holding up his fingers to count one, then nine, then five and eight to symbolise 1958.
"The first we knew was when we took a call from a Manchester United supporter saying it was disgusting," Williams said. "We immediately pulled it off the website and removed it from YouTube.
"We've called in the police to see if they will press charges and we have identified the idiot responsible and banned him from the club for life," Williams said. "He's not welcome here now or ever again. This should be an unbelievable week for us, playing the biggest club there is, and if anyone thinks Crawley would deliberately insult Manchester United over something so sensitive, that is what gets to me more than anything."
The song was to raise money for the club's official charity, the Chestnut Tree children's hospice. There were several takes for the video and Crawley have replaced the original one with a version that does not feature the Munich jibes. The club's information is that the man responsible is a Crystal Palace supporter.
"The people who made the video are absolutely devastated," Williams said. "I've had Mike Dobie on the phone in tears because none of us had seen it. It was intended as a charity song and we would never condone behaviour like that. We have found another take missing the idiot who was responsible."" |

The English are fucking pussies.
Yeah, it's in terrible taste, but give me a fucking break.
Banned for life? Press charges? Do they have any freedom of speech over there? Not to mention it was one guy making fun of an event that happened over 50 years ago. Wasn't their beloved prince photographed wearing a Nazi uniform at a costume party? Both of these are in bad taste, but neither should be punishable in any way, shape, or form.

It goes back pretty far. Think from 1930-present.
Name the ones you got JT so we can eliminate some.
1.Wayne Rooney (2009-10) 2. Cristiano Ronaldo (2006-07 & 2007-08) 3. 4. 5. Eric Cantona (1995-96)
(there are more but I don't want to give the # away)
Ryan Giggs
