[Football] Build a Bonfire at Old Trafford

rrruss · Jan 23, 2020

Bless 'em. Have they nicked our song or did we nick it from someone in the first place?

Seems it's not going down too well though.

Only by 12 days I wouldn't worry about that, happens all the time on here.

My point was not that the song is being sung as previously reported but that they are being criticised in the press today for singing it.

It's more a veiled attack on a BBC journalist. I wonder why the Daily Mail would want to do that?

Can't stand the mail but what on earth are you on about?

Do they sing the "Hire a hitman" verse too?

Yes heard Ian Dennis lay into them last night for singing that my gosh how many times did the north stand sing about archer and bellotti...it can only be that it's unacceptable in 2020

I meant by Wozza who replied to this thread seconds before me. What am I 12 days late for?

Don't know why there is all this fuss about them singing " Build a Bonfire " , I thought all the genuine Reds had left to follow FC United ? .. maybe the new lot of disaffected fans should form another breakaway club ?

Tonight Tony Livesey on Five Live was also taking offence - “how can you sing a song about killing people”. That’s the world we live in now, alas.

United FC of Manchester? Could play in Blue and Pink.

If it means banning ‘God Save Our Queen’ which is a song with lyrics glorifying annihilating Britain’s enemies, then I am onboard with his viewpoint.

It's one journo who has questioned the chant and he happens to be a BBC journalist. Great opportunity for the mail to highlight another subtle anti-BBC message. It's not really a story.

I disagree. The bbc themselves highlighted the story. I heard a long piece on it on radio five yesterday morning. Nothing in that article criticises the journalist.

That's because it was already a news story on the back of Ian Dennis's comment and his reply to a tweet.

Classic PR tactic. To generate a story you create a crisis.

I'm sure Ian Dennis does believe that nobody should sing that song, but that alone does not make a story. I haven't seen whether The Daily Mail has run its own op ed on the song. I doubt it. Just stir that pot and let the anti-PC and anti-BBC crew do their thing.
