Rival fans giving each other grief is one thing, but mocking the tragic loss of life is something all football supporters should stand against.
There were appalling chants from both sets of fans in Manchester United's Europa League tie against Liverpool, with this banner on the M602 only making matters worse before Thursday's second leg. https://twitter.com/BBCNWT/status/710528587003273216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw But one thing we didn't expect to see during the fiercely-contested clash at Old Trafford is a Liverpool youth player seemingly tweeting a reference to the 1958 Munich disaster in which 23 people died. Jordan Williams, who has also appeared for Wales Under-21s, deactivated his account after claiming the following tweet was sent by someone who hacked his Twitter. https://twitter.com/amybethjones/status/710619969667649536 "My Twitter has been hacked, I would never put anything like that to offend anyone, sorry about this," wrote Williams. Liverpool are now looking into the distasteful episode, which has cast a cloud over their progression to the quarter-finals.Explore more on these topics:
