Trying to envisage a scenario where the home side would want to forfeit a match and struggling ?
Ridiculous analogy. It is not my taxi and I am not in control of it.
You seen suits? Almost that exact scenario happpens
Whooooooosh.
Feck sake that's brilliant, that advert is a shambles.
What a weird attitude. Surely not uniteds fault?
Fellaini AND Herrera?! ... bit defensive?
- The security firm would have been hired by United. It's United's responsibility.
Yeah it doesn't make any sense. A better analogy would be ... someone leaves a fake bomb in your taxi and another passenger finds it a week later are you partially to blame?
You're essentially saying businesses are absolved of all blame if any outsourced services go wrong. Which is just silly.
This is the most frightening aspect of it all. Surely every dam place, in this era of high alert, is thoroughly checked before letting people in. However, as I said before, the right actions were taken after discovery that is for sure.
That's ridiculous, you're either being a contrarion on purpose or you've had a leave of your senses
If you hire an electrician at home and he blows the power to the whole street is it your fault for hiring him?
At home? Not your fault.
I have no idea but I do know that this incident is unequivocally United's responsibility and no reasonable right thinking person would say otherwise. Try taking off the red tinted specs, the situation is already embarrassing enough !
It always amazes me when we see this level of incompetence on a grand stage like this.
Of course it's United's fault. They wouldn't just let an outsourced company work without supervision or management. The system failed although the reaction to this failure in terms of emptying the stadium worked very well. So....every cloud......
I've not planted many bombs but I reckon they need concealing alright
I am no United fan and obviously watched the event unfolding from hundreds kilometers away but I'm disgusted about the way the media portray it. It is as if they are disappointed that no real threat existed or nobody got hurt. They appear to lack the sensation and outrage an attack as in Paris or Belgium causes and turn it into ridiculing United. Nobody should be proud to have overlooked a suspicious item, I get that. But how the media are playing this story is really low IMO.
Absolutely. Of course it shouldn't have happened, but the immediate reaction was fantastic. On one hand, a positive is a real life drill without knowing it's a drill. On the other, you could argue it potentially makes the planning of something real slightly easier from the bad guy's point of view.
Only people who want to use this as another way to have a pop at United will call this embarasssing. Security is paramount and the system failed. Hopefully lesson learnt and all clubs will look at this and review their procedures.
The ironically named Polite Poster popping in with his entirely objective views of United once again.
If the company loaned Old trafford then yes United are responsible. If United were client of the company then no, United aren't responsible but United should have a better control of Old trafford and 4 days without checking thoroughly the stadium is strange.
