We'll get points docked
OT EVACUATED | Device signed as having been recovered, could NOT be detected by sniffer dogs
- Thread starter Badunk
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
We deserve to.
Fergie would've checked those toilets himself. In fact, I reckon LVG had a shit in one of the stalls and walked right past it.
"Erm, Dave, did you plant 9 or 10 fake bombs?"
"... How many have you collected boss?"
"9 so far"
"Sounds about right... lets go with that"
Or... Maybe Woodward and LVG were just trying to find someone who is even worse at their job then they are?
"And that how I ended up as a dog groomer."
Or on a constant loop, and pump them full of drugs to keep them awake.
Nah that seems a bit too cruel even for terrorists, would be more humane to just send them to Guantanamo.
I wonder how empty the stadium will be. I for sure am not waking up in the wee hours of the morning for this meaningless game.

Good, means we can avoid the Europa league.
We will?
It honestly wouldn't surprise me the way this season has panned out
I'm sorry but in retrospect the fact we brought in the military for a controlled explosion because of a forgotten decoy that has been left for FOUR days, finally noticed by some bloke taking a piss is just

Can't believe how negative everyone is being. It's 19 goals, not 2 million

This is a big feck up by the security company, the club can only blamed for the fact that it's been there since Tuesday, but then again i'm not sure how often do they do security checks anyway.
In the spirit of the club let's not terminate our contract with them, it's better to evaluate when it's over.

How can a security company be so stupid? Planting fake bombs then forgetting the removal part
£3m mistake

Pretty funny really.
This is interesting. How the fook did this happen ?
How many fake bombs do we have ?
Five.
How many did we put out ?
Six .
Aahhhh. feck it it's fake anyway.
I am pretty sure that under the procedures for dealing with a suspected bomb the "send picture of device to everyone" is not high on the list of things to do. Plus you are assuming that it would be an obvious fake, which considering the bomb disposal unit did a controlled detonation as a safety precaution we can guess it might not have been an obvious test device.
You are assuming that it was widely known where the test bombs were hidden , when it was just a likely the opposite was true.

Don't remember when this happened

Can someone sum up the last few pages for me?
As I understand, we planted it ourselves?

Nah, it was an external company I think. As far as I can see, all we did was let the clowns have run of Old Trafford and then fail to find the fake bomb they left behind for four days. Which is bad but not quite as bad as us planting our own fake bombs and then forgetting about them.
Amateurs.
Did Fergie run the security team too? It's like the whole club has become a farce since he left.
We have turned into a circus. So ridiculous.
Not sure how the security company forgot about this device and I'm not sure how we miss it doing a pre-match sweep. Very amateurish and negligent. Good job all around from the security/police & stewards.
With the match being on Tuesday at 8pm, I would rest anyone that is going to start vs Palace.
Rest them all.

Varela, Mensah, Jones, CBJ
Pereira, Schneiderlin, Herrera
Mata, Memphis, Young

So amidst all the shit that happened today, not one person that was part of the security training didn't come forward and say it was a prop from the training and may have been left behind? A nobody from the grounds staff can put two and two together? Someone's job is going to be on the line. Hope the company has insurance.
So the security team fecked up, so what? I say we only sack them once it's impossible to reach top four.
I know a steward at OT and he says that the stadium is check completely before anybody is let in , that includes the loos.
They will know who the steward is that missed it, but to be fair, would he be looking for something like that ?
I have worked security for a long time and when checks are done you look for something unusual, but even so I am not sure I would of found it

Thanks god, Mourinho is going to bring his own security team. These Dutch dudes that LVG hired do not know shit.
It wouldn't matter if they did. You don't just drop protocol because someone says "oh that's one of our decoys". When you have 80,000 people to think of you go for the safest route.
Imagine being the guy that says "well it did look like one of ours, and Dave from Delta 7 said it probably was".
Perhaps the people involved in the training were not shown the device today? You act like everyone should have known it was a dummy device right from the start, Which is an assumption that you have no idea is true.
A lot is going to depend on where it was and was it somewhere the stewards were trained to check.
Well, they are commentators located in England at the matches. These commentators were at the Swansea/City match. And they're English.
Shambles is a good word but these 'calamities' are adding up and what should have been the easisest run in has turned into a catastrophe. There is no sign of anyone taking a grip like Gill or Fergie of old when we almost drifted off the path. Sponsors don't see calamities as fate or chance but a sign of how well the club is being managed. A good side rides its luck and generates its fate as Fergie so often proved. This series of calamities points to too many chiefs, not enough good people in the areas that matter, and sloppy admin. The football has also rapidly declined from boring to ineffective rubbish. The squad could be described as a shambles because we have no indication of when the rebuilding and building will be completed. There is no leadership on the field and no leadership from OT. All the while LVG is telling us our expectations are too high, which in itself has become almost a curse to everyone's morale. I had thought last week were eerily looking like 1970, now I fear we're drifting towards 1971-72. These are dangerous times, and this kind of sloppy complacency can turn an entire club upside down.
People are aware that we contract our security out to a firm called CES?
Criticising United for this error is a bit ridiculous, the club is as much a victim of this incompetence as Bournemouth.

It's a bit worrying the device went undetected until after the stadium filled up. Be interesting to know how long it went unnoticed.

I wonder if the home fans would prefer if the club adds 2m to that and sacks LVG instead
