Outstanding, could hear you all for the majority of the game, great effort.

All game. And 10 mins after

Great support its a shame some of our players didn't rise to the occasion.

Which ones? Not sure what you lot watch or expect

Agreed the fans were loud and proud tonight

THe team hopefully appreciates the fans who generally are fantastic

Very loud and constant. Can't ask for more.

Always great at Old Trafford.

If only it would bring us 3 points.

MOTM

Pity we don't do the same at home.

Absolutely...Claret fans was all you could hear. Utd fans must all have had face masks on!

Brill support all, well done on yet again out singing them

Thanks Vegas

Very loud, too many booing the knee and singing “you let your country down”.

Great support,well done.

They did stay behind the team, which they didn’t at Newcastle

Or another way of looking at it, was too many expressed their opinion which you did not agree with.

It's embarrassing and doesn't help with our neanderthal reputation around the country.

One man's "neanderthal" is the next man's spokesman.

That's the beauty of an open , grown up , society.

Abu Hamza will be glad to have you backing him.

I've read on social media that Burnley fans were singing ‘you let your country down’ to Rashford and Sancho?

Can you imagine!? Some people actually believe they didn't! . Crazy isn't it!

I see your true colours…..

Watched on tv but we seemed to have great support throughout the game

Crazy the only two singled out were the black players. But as with your support for booing the knee, it’s the company you choose to keep that defines you.

The only two who were playing tonight that , some would say, when it came to the crunch , "let their county down" as they see it. If you choose to see it as a skin colour issue then that's your opinion. Don't fall into the trap of letting others see it as a simply "your not good enough at the highest level " issue expressing their opinion

Ask yourself this very straightforward question.

Who brought the issue of skin colour into it. You, or those singing, " you let YOUR COUNTRY
down"?

Stop and have a little think .

Have to be honest, being there, heard a few boos, nothing major, but didn't hear the singing of that?

Admittedly we left with 5 minutes to go, I don’t recall any singing at Rashford, did he come on after we left? And as for Sancho it was a fairly pathetic attempt to sing at him and didn’t particularly last long. I did think the song against Ronaldo was very funny.

You know why they sing that song, I know why they sing it. Stop (if you can) being stupid. We can all see through it, you keep defending their right to sing it, it suits you n

Oh ffs get over yourself with you ridiculous self righteous windbaggery. While I personally thought the old cliched “ you let your country down “ was cringeworthy in the extreme ,to suggest this was racism is offensive ludicrous nonsense . The crowd was a fired up boozed coked up holiday mass , also giving relentless stick to Ronaldo , calling Shaw a fat b@stard , Maguire got stick too etc etc . I was also a little suprised at the boos ,though the gesture almost seems invisible now.

You’re aware that Beckham was the first to have this nonsense widely sung about him, and comedy villian Rooney.

You didn't. Had you done so you may be fortunate to remember the grief that the following players got for "letting THEIR COUNTRY DOWN. And here's the thing. It wasn't the colour of their skin.


Stuart Pearce, England v West Germany, 1990

"My world collapsed," he wrote later. "The walk back to the centre circle was a nightmare as the first onrush of tears pricked at my eyes."

Chris Waddle, England v West Germany, 1990

Waddle later said: "There were two ways to react; basically you can do a Lord Lucan and disappear or stick your chest out and prove to everybody you're a good footballer."


David Beckham, European Championship, 2004

Beckham had long been England's penalty–taker, scoring the penalty that beat Argentina in the World Cup in Japan in 2002. But he put a penalty high over the bar in Turkey during qualifying for Euro 2004. Then he missed a penalty in the opening game against France.

Nevertheless, as captain, Beckham expected, and was expected, to step up to take the opening penalty after yet another dramatic and controversial tie. Beckham slipped as he took the kick and he skied it.

Was it because they were white?

Absolutely, and Beckham didn't deserve it either. The only thing he did wrong is that he didn't jump up and down on Simeone's head as he should have done.

I distinctly remember singing the “you let your country down” in my younger days at Stuart Pearce in the Littlewoods cup all them years ago.

How England manager Gareth Southgate paid the penalty for Euro 96 miss
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -miss.html

How Southgate paid the penalty for Euro 96 miss: England manager was abused daily, called a 'c***'

Heres the stone cold facts.

Throught the decades England players, who've , rightly or wrongly , been seen as bottling it when it came to a crucial match have been turned upon as " letting their country down "

Given the emotion that's wrapped up in an international game, particularly a final, don't be surprised if , when certain players, regardless of their skin colour, are perceived as "letting their country down" when the eyes of the nation were on them. Receive, rightly or wrongly , vitriol from certain sections on local crowds when they are playing afterwards.

With how this place is run and set up, and the wide views of the posters on it, it is always going to be 'every single thread'.

Your positive thread was going swimmingly until someone (Burnley Ace) was negative about our support.

Yes it is boring, but until it is properly managed and/or we get a separate board for all the race, politics and Brexit shite, it's going to carry on happening.

Ronaldo was the target for most of the abusive chanting.
I didn't even realise the knee was booed, but as a fan base we like to boo and wind people up, even give opposition players stick/abuse.

This is so true.

It doesn't matter if they warrant it, we'll boo and take the p1ss out of anyone and everyone. It's nothing new.

Was in hospitality tonight AF stand across from dug outs, so approx half way line, could hardly hear our support but could hear Stretford End, not impressive. Certainly didn’t pick up any of the chants referred to in earlier posts.

Feel for the attending fans, losing isn't any fun. Dan Black just tweeted we've ended 2021 with the worst points-per-game record of all 92 clubs in the four tiers of English football.

That's understandable because the team was genuinely poor at Newcastle and didn't show half the determination we saw on display in Manchester. Even then we backed em for the majority of the game at SJP. It's not half frustrating that we can be so bad against genuine relegation rivals and then so good against one of the giants.

Ah well, on to the next one. Get behind um regardless folks - it's way more fun when we do.

Watched on Amazon Prime, as the teams were in the tunnel, throughout the match and after the final whistle you could hear the Burnley fans loud and clear. Guess it depends where the cameras and microphones are.
