Wish I could watch this

Can you watch it on iPlayer later?

They've actually been really good in it Scott.

"Duncan's alright though, Duncan's not dead?"

That makes me sant to cry Kyro, and I'm not even watching.

Not really been watching it, but whenever I look at them, I think of Cook being a dickhead, and Tennant in his Tardis.

I would hate to be the Football league guy.. knowing that your decision not to reschedule the Wolves game effectively killed them

The Flowers of Manchester

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Eight great football stalwarts conceded victory,
Eight men will never play again who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade,
This great United family, all masters of their trade,
The pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,
Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.

The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
There was slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose,
It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.
And eight of the team were killed as the blazing wreckage burned.

Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side.
And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,
Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,
They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the snow.

Big Duncan he went too, with an injury to his brain,
And Ireland's brave Jack Blanchflower will never play again,
The great Matt Busby lay there, the father of his team
Three long months passed by before he saw his team again.

The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,
and one of them Big Swifty, who we will ne'er forget,
the finest English 'keeper that ever graced the net.

Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great,
its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.
Eight men will never play again, who met destruction there,
the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester.

Being read out the names of your dead teammates while you're in teh hospital bed... horrible.

I thought that too The guy who played Cook has done alright though.

But I still can't take David Tennant seriously.

Forgot this was on tonight.

Can't believe Cook from Skins is in this, thought he was a prat who is impossible to take seriously. Is he any good in this?

Why does football has some sad moments like Hillsbourgh, Munich Air Crash, Ibrox, so sad.

R.I.P

Just listening to him speak is so sad, cause you know what's going to happen.

Jack O'Connell, Derby fan

God, football was so much different back then.

/Obvious.

"it doesn't matter who the players are. it's about the club"

So bloody sad.

just watched it beginning was pretty crap but last hour of it was really good.
city fans chant munich but they lost their keeper in the crash

I dont think City fans are that bad for chanting Munich, there always seems to be a bit of repect for things like that

Does that actually make any sense at all?

When they had a game against Man City on the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster what were the fans like, I can't remember. I think they were respectful but I could be wrong.

Yeah, all the fans were brilliant that day- shame the team wasn't.

City fans shouldn't be chanting about it though, mo one should. Just like some of ours with Hillsbrough... it's disgusting.

Typical Irish.
