There has been a lot in the media about the Munich aircrash which devastated the Manchester United football team fifty years ago. I have read several articles in the press, and there is a programme about it on tv at the moment. (BBC Scotland; I think it was on Wednesday in England).

I have found it all very affecting; it is very moving hearing people hear how they felt, listening to the stories the survivors, and the fans, too.

It is very sad - what was lost, what they could have been.

I am not a Man United fan - indeed, most weekends I hope they get beaten. (I am most confused when Arsenal play Man U, obviously). But I think I will the minutes silence tomorrow, too.

And it seems fitting that it is City that United face tomorrow; some of the most moving stories have been how City rallied round to help their rivals in the aftermath of the crash.
