Always wondered what happened to this channel, interesting that it stopped, it's strange that such a big club doesn't have a channel really.

They did. It just dead. United Stand is an actual fan channel.. not run by the media.

Goldbridge killed the media channel. Great victory for him. Was fed up of Full Time Devils propaganda. They got what they deserved. Happy for Flex and Goldbridge.
Flex and Goldbridge produce clickbait, sensationalist nonsense. FTD was flat for ages and it's no surprise, doesn't mean the United Stand have good content. Goldbridge is a meme seeked out by rival fans, it's just a smaller AFTV and equally embarrassing.

I liked FTD at the start when it had the 2 guys, but when Adam Mckola took over I stopped watching it as I found him unbearable, I don't mind Goldberg he is a nice dude, very underrated here, apparently if you don't talk all positive about the club then you should be hated for some reason.

I would totally love a redcafe channel, especially if @Damien is involved you'd know it'd be good.

Youtube is all about clickbait, it's their job and they have to do anything for the views so that's ok for me, they have a lot of good content.

Nothing the United Stand do has ever come close to the quality that Sam and Ian's show had for FTD. I have to say Mark has definitely improved over the last few weeks though. He used to come across as horribly bitter and entitled (almost like those LUHG types) before but he's definitely taken a more positive approach during the lockdown and beyond.

United stand is not that much smaller than aftv. I love the United stand yes Goldbridge is cheesy but that makes it entertaining for me. I do not want a serious or boring presenter.

Sam and Ian were top notch but they were out since 2015 I think?

Depends what you like I suppose. I found them as in United Stand and FTD as very left and right wing. FTD started on the left side but once United Stand grew it’s like the only way they could compete was to go completely the other way and try win moral high ground battles. Obviously it failed. As football is mainly for the common folk.

I didn’t like Goldbridge at first but his videos are funny and he’s for everyone.

Yeah Sam started doing more TV gigs around that time and then he joined United/MUTV. Ian went off to do comedy full time.

They were by far the best United fan channel. Genuine fans on there unlike United Stand. Stretford Paddock is the next best thing.

United Stand is fake as feck. No actual fans on there just a bunch of personalities that have popped up after seeing AFTV's success. You can't convince me that Rants guy is an actual United fan. He knows feck all about the club. He claimed the other week Fergie retired because of Mourinho. Mourinho wasn't even at Chelsea when he retired. :lol:

Seen some of their stuff was alright.

Agree re: Goldbridge, he's a plonker, but every so often he comes out with perfect Partridge-esque prose that utterly breaks me.

They all do their own thing. From podcast to youtube channels and other projects. I have seen one of them on MUTV and other football related shows. it is normal to be dead, once everyone goes their own way and treats it as a side project.

In your closet, in your head!
Goldbridge is a prick. I remember once when Fellaini scored for us, Goldbridge mocked him for celebrating. "Oh look at him celebrating as if he contributed something. I'm not giving him any credit, he doesn't deserve any credit."

Another time he refused to celebrate when Rooney scored for us, because it was Rooney.

That alone makes Full Time Devils a far more bearable channel for me.

I read somewhere that the guy who runs the channel and appears in most of the videos is a Forest fan posing as a United fan to financially exploit the club's larger fan base, and his name isn't really "Mark Goldbridge". Not sure if it's true, though. To figure out whether he's authentic or not, I'd have to actually watch his videos, which I can't do because he's far too painfully cringey for me to tolerate.

More info coming soon


Guessing by the times these videos go live they're merging with Stretford Paddock

I don't like Howson, very stuck up, and I don't like Mckola either

He’s a tw&t.. the only reason why people liked FTD was because... well people know.
He's got an account on here btw
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks of him as a tw*t!!

His twitter a/c is like a football version of Trumps. Tweets like a spoiled child basically and anyone who disagrees with him is roundly abused, twitter is a toxic hell hole anyway.

Flex used to call Rashford Rashford.
United Stand is a bunch of reactionary idiots who shit on players after every bad result. I don't know how you can watch this shit.

Idiot Goldbridge is not even a MU fan.

Not a fan of Goldbridge, looks like he's filming from his mums spareroom
Isn’t he married with kids?

"Rantsnbants" finally was kicked off from the United Stand, so now I can fully enjoy it without having second thoughts, Flex is a quality presenter and I like a lot of the fans that pop on it often, even though Goldbridge is a bit of a twat at times
Apparently Rants was kicked off for saying Goldbridge only rates Shaw because he’s white :lol:

He was charging people £50 to go to the pub.
Honestly, can't knock the hustle. Its not like Howson forced them to hand over cash.

If people really want a Man Utd tour of Manchester its not hard: Spend an afternoon on google. You can put a tour route together yourself without much fuss. If you choose to pay someone that's your call. I wouldn't personally. If you do though, you can only blame yourself if you're not happy with what you get.

In terms of FTD it was a good thing. Especially back in the dark days of Moyes, FTD was the first place I saw anyone say 'this man isn't up to it.' It was refreshing. We were all pretending everything was okay cos Fergie said so and then boom, Andy Tate kicked the doors off. I think for that reason I followed them. Never really signed on to the other United YouTube channels. It was a good run but everything has its time, right?

I'm just glad we're getting more United Hour pods these days. That'll fill the gap nicely. ;)

FTD was good once upon a time but turned a bit stale so I unsubscribed. Enjoy Stretford Paddock and United Stand although the latter edges it for me.

Not sure where all the hate comes from it's clear that this is just another form of entertainment, if you don't like it don't watch it.

Personally enjoy the match previews and reviews the most, I avoid the transfer stuff because it's speculative clickbait for the most part.

Not hugely surprising. I haven't paid attention for a while but it seems when the more likeable ones like Ian and Sam left, they lacked variety in their content and started on the slippery slope.

Howson was always too stuck up to make it work with him as the main man running the channel and they didn't have enough characters to counter balance the irritating ones. It does feel like there's a void to be filled somewhere because the United Stand one is genuinely unwatchable.
