Hes a fecking idiot.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
That’s what I said. Take a few shovels and dig up the pitch in front of the goal, job done and no violence needed.
Fans still in the stadium
nice way to get a ban from the club
not wearing any form of cover, see his face clear as day.Quite right.
The bottom line is sing don’t sing protest don’t protest it’s unlikely to make much difference. It’s really sad but it’s true
Here, here well said sir.
Agree completely.
Well done to all the sens
Seriously.... how does that help United?
It will make a difference. It is already being reported on several media outlets and has become the main football news story. The game will almost certainly be delayed and may even be postponed or worse. If that isn't making a difference then I don't know what is.
Along with the protests all last year in the US... the storming of the Capitol... this... I have been consistently amazed at how many people doing these things aren’t taking full advantage of the fact that wearing a face covering is completely acceptable to do right now.nice way to get a ban from the club
There’s a shit tonne of people there. Bound to be some causing trouble.
Poor camera
If they were serious about protesting, they should've sat on the pitch and refused to move.
The Glazers won't care. They'll sell the club when it suits them (not any time soon) and when they do the sad reality is that we'll probably be an oil money club.

There were many balls on the pitch alreadyLucky fecker took a ball in and was shooting into the Stretford End.
There's no way this game goes ahead on time. There's still people in the ground protesting.
I think its made a difference already. The publicity is massive and shines a clear spotlight on the unhappiness with the Glazers. Its a significant protest and done with the minimal amount of damage compared to other protests and civil disobedience. Protesting is never a waste of time to those who are on the wrong end of an injustice.
Hey, there’s camera toss guy again arguing with a steward.
Wow. The same folks spamming the Glazers Out thread are now condemning the protestors. How did ya think the Glazers will leave?
Well said.
Wouldn’t hold your breath fella.Absolutely buoyed to see the fans out in such numbers. This will be impossible to ignore. Keep it up
Wonder if they will stay gathered outside and hope their chants get picked up on the match commentary
In the grand scheme of things, that might be a worth sacrificing, because it sends the world a message of what United fans think of the Glazers, and it'll be embarrassing for them.
fecking bizarre not to mask up.
This isn’t helping the team and todays game.
Exactly. The money isn't going to dry up for then anyway. Even a lot of fans who want them out aren't going to be so hardcore to protest and stop buying merch / tickets or watching them on TV.
I guess the outcome is we grand pool 3 pets.
Liverpool fans will hold a pro-Glazers protest if this game is thrown out and they get 3 points.
And how does it happen by a few hundred people breaking into the stadium to ruin the hallowed turf and take a few pictures in their 5 minutes of fame? They turned a brilliant protest with people, banners, scarves, posters and flares into a riot which will only serve to attract negativity and distract the players.
A few things needs to happen if they are to sell:
1) Bad press, and that can happen if our fans protest vehemently but peacefully OUTSIDE the stadium, and I applaud those who did. The people who went in the stadium have brought all the bad press on themselves while looking like raving lunatics. I guarantee you there will be a few stories coming out in the next few days which paint the Glazers as victims now. These people have just set all of us back a few months and protests.
2) Boycott. A complete boycott of season tickets by locals, one off tickets by overseas fans, merchandise, the gift shop and anything related to the Glazers. Plain and simply, no profits = Glazers relinquishing power.
Also, adding on to all this, what was the point of protesting at the Lowry? Seriously, how does this affect the Glazers? It just distracts and bullies Ole and the players when they are clearly as distasteful of the Glazers and their plans as all us fans.
I suspect this might be the last time he gets into OT for a long while.
This would most likely have the opposite affect and make the Glazers want to keep a hold of the club even more.
would not be surprised if the game is cancelled and United get punished.
Protest all you want but don’t break in and destroy property of the club you supposedly love.
Just makes no sense to breach the stadium whatsoever

Currently the NBC-SN on air commentators are condemning the actions of the OT stadium demonstration. That's probably not the best message to be putting out there when it's seems clear that the fans have unimpeded access to the building
After a few weeks of the media saying the footy associations and UK government would deal with the owners like the Glazers. That doesn't seem to have happened and the fans are obviously taking matters into their own hands in the absence of accountability

How is it brilliant.
It's pointless scum behaviour.
You don't bully billionaires out.
Imagine this happening in the old Veteran’s Stadium in Philly.
They literally had a jail under the fecking stadium. This would be a cop’s dream.
I can’t really move past them not knowing the difference between gold and yellow.
Point deduction, scousers in the CL next year and new Saudi owners then. Great...fecking idiots.

Exactly. Guaranteed the majority of the protesters today will be in the megastore this summer to buy the latest United shirt.
Sometimes things are more important than the game day.
