Bit pathetic.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
I wasn't aware. I'm not on social media etc and very rarely watch TV. I got a text at 11 this morning from MUST, which was the first I heard.
The MUST have been unwilling to go against the Glazers for years. The supporters do not "need" anyone telling them what they should or should not do.
Well done, hope the message is heard.
Also hope the match isn't cancelled or delayed, i'm mentally prepared to watch United-Liverpool today.

The game won’t be called off, maybe delayed kick off.
Hopefully going back outside to the where the buses come and block that tunnel
By looking at some posts without checking vods, at first i thought OT is burning or something.
Yes, because those are literally the only two choices.
Disruption and attention with no impact on the game is ideal.
The protests would definitely be getting more attention were it not for the social media boycott though.

Jesus, not the corner flags!
Can’t see a repeat of this on the 12th.
Regardless it’ll be unsettling for them and the intended victims will be thousands of miles away probably in bed. Affecting the team shouldn’t be an afterthought for the protesters.
Here is the current (bare bones) BBC article right now:

I agree with the motive for the protest, but I don’t agree with breaking into the stadium and running on the pitch. How will the players feel with this happening. Soreness will have his two penne the worth.
Poor from Ole this, not good enough preparation for the game. I hope we have reserve corner flags.
Great stuff from all involved. Would be nice if there was some protest done at the Glazer’s residence. It just feels like they are so far away from these events that they won’t care.
They've left now.
For the 3 or 4 people on here moaning about this, shame on you. You would probably have been happy to see fans send a fax. Even bigger shame if you are living in the vicinity and don't go but just want to moan. These owners are parasites and enough is enough. We want our club back #GlazersOut
Who gives a toss what someone like Souness thinks? All forms of peaceful protest are justified in this fight.

To be fair to NBC here in the US, they were quick to mention the green and gold campaign and that this has been a long going issue since the Glazers bought the team.

Boy, that de-escalated quickly.
Too damn right it can!This never stops being funny, and can be applied to literally anything that happens, whether in football or outside of it
Welp, looks like that's no corner flags for today.
It would have been a nice image if someone had managed to plant a banner in the center circle before everyone left.

Fax machine is broken remember
The way sky have "protest against club's owners' attempt to join super league" written on breaking news when the fans have said it's about Glazer ownership 
Souness is at OT so I'm sure he would've been happy to do it
Glad they got in and was heard and protested.
Just a shame the idiots who smashed up the camera and stole a corner flag.
hopefully the game still goes ahead!

He must have picked the penne up in Sampdoria
If I knew this was happening I wouldn't have went out last night. I am so jealous of them lot getting on the fecking pitch. I've never ever been on it. What an absolute privilege.
Wow
Just got home from the shops and seen the news....absolutely crazy.

Utterly pathetic behavior, shades of angry republicans entering Congress. If we needed proof why governments around the world imposed strict rules during the pandemic, look at Liverpool, Glasgow and Manchester after each episode over the last year. It’s just football, there are other ways to make a point, this is just people needing to break the law.
OT was as well defended as our Capitol.
Email from I received from MUST yesterday
Fan protests are planned outside Old Trafford at 2pm on Sundayahead of the Liverpool match.
We feel it is important that there is a good turnout to maintain momentum so hope MUST members will be well represented. If you cannot attend, but know someone who can, you might want to give them a nudge
A few points to bear in mind if you are attending - just our observations:
1. Meeting at 2pm on the forecourt in front of Megastore
2. Please wear a mask, maintain social distance
3. A peaceful and lawful protest is helpful - any aggro is likely to backfire on us
4. We do not want to do anything that impacts on our team and please respect club staff too
5. If you'd like to pickup protest cards etc they will be available from MUST HQ (18 SMBW) from 12pm
