"A FOOTBALL player is facing disciplinary action after allegedly taunting fans by mocking the death of 23 people in an air crash.
John Lawless, aged 26, who plays for Merseyside side Marine FC, was given an official police warning at half time in a match against Unibond League rivals FC United of Manchester at Gigg Lane, Bury, on December 20.
While taking a corner at the end of the ground in which most of the 2,122 spectators were gathered, Mr Lawless was seen to wave his arms to make an aeroplane gesture in an apparent reference to the Munich air disaster in 1958.
The crash killed eight players of Manchester United - the sister club of FC United. Three Manchester United staff and eight journalists also died."
Look I hate the Mancs as much as the next Scouser, but I'll make a deal with all of them. We'll leave tragedy of Munich alone, and you leave Hillsborough out of it. Pretty much everything else is fair game, ok? Good... you tossers.
