Yeah, people don't want change, to be honest. It's obvious. They just want to moan on the internet about it.So many gimps in here
It’s no wonder governments and big companies can walk all over people constantly
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Spot on.
Neville's been in the stadium since before 12pm as they were broadcasting Super Sunday from inside the ground at 1pm
Could do with getting Fergie out with a megaphone to diffuse the situation. The only one who these protesters might listen to.
Absolutely.So many gimps in here

Ffs Muhammad and Jake midfield again
Exactly, makes me laugh seeing these peaceful comments. People are incredibly naive to think that.
Nipped out for a steak bake
This makes no sense. That’s exactly what they are doing.
Depends if the goons who have broken in have taken "concerned protest" to criminal damage levels on the pitch etc.
A riot? Really? A few fans ran into the stadium and one bloke threw a camera over. They are trying to make a statement. As I said standing outside before games singing ‘Glazers out’ is going to achieve nothing. It did nothing in 2005 and 2010. The next course of action is to damage United’s brand in the short term for long term gain. Whether that’s bad publicity or stopping matches being played. Something has to grab the media attention on this.
Realistically we need government intervention to ensure clubs have a 51% fan share but they are unlikely to do anything. As far as I understand it has to be discussed in parliament now because of a petition. I doubt government will want to get involved though.
Not again MuhJake midfield, for fecks sake.
In Georgia now.
I’ve had many of the Glazers as guests before in my restaurant when I lived in the Tampa Bay area. They are absolute *****.
That’s why I’m trying to roust @MrMarcello up to get to Harbour Island to kick down Joel’s front gate.
MM’s rght around the corner.
And how do you protest against the Glazers without doing this?
I’m sure that the vast majority of supporters are well-intentioned and protesting on behalf of United
Smashing cameras and vandalism is not a protest mate. Just really poor behaviour and what happens at these kinds of alcohol fuelled protests.
This kind of thing won’t get the Glazers out. It just hurts the team and makes the fan base look like a right bunch of idiots. Once the alcohol kicks in it just becomes ugly drunken rage. Completely pointless.
Its 2:30am where I am, I get up in the middle of the night to watch these games. If the game gets called off it wont be a waste of sleep time for me, I wont lament the game being called off or even points docked or any of those scenarios. I will be cheering on the protestors who have made some massive noise with a low damage peaceful protest. Well done lads. Its not just winning trophies that makes it great being a Utd fan, its also knowing the fan base is full of people who care.
Yeah or we get docked points and miss out on top 4. Or they end up doing the same thing when we are in the title race next year. Only people they are hurting by doing this are the players.
Yeah I'm sure the Glazer's are quaking in their boots and will sell the club straight away tomorrow
"Stand by your owners" is probably not what the protesters want to hear right now.
Wanting the Glazers out is something that we can all agree on, but is there even an interested buyer out there that can afford the club? If not, all the protests in the world aren't going to do any good
Good man.
No, but civil disobedience is sometimes required, provided it's peaceful. All reform movements have employed civil disobedience: the non-violent breaking of the law. What other options might make the Glazers listen? Nothing else has worked. I suggested a total boycott, but it seems most fans think it wouldn't work, sadly.
I don't, but that's how it will be publicised.
That guy throwing the camera...why the hell wouldn’t he wear a mask. Or any of them that broke into OT. Even if you’re Red Issue and don’t believe Covid is real, surely you’d want to hide your face.
It's amazing how you think this will not affect the glazers.Owners who never show up to matches aren't going to be arsed by this anyway.
It's the staff, the players and everyone else who is, and they're the ones who have done nothing wrong.
It's amazing how many of you suddenly think trespassing is an ok thing to do
It's not pretty but it certainly has captured the attention of the tabloids and it isn't just a one off protest. This could build huge momentum.
The glazers may well be drinking pina coladas in miami as we speak but to say they won't be arsed by this is a bit daft isn't it?
What a day to have a football media Twitter blackout.

Good lads. This is the stuff that needs to happen its the only way it'll get covered in the media.
There's some right melts in this thread.

This is good. At worst we will get a warning. No chance they make us forfeit or dock points on one incident.
And the press garnered is invaluable

Ehh, do these guys know that the FA will make a real meal out of it? Cavani, a three-match ban incoming.
There is stuff broken, damaged and now reports of fighting. This is not peaceful. That bit was lost when they illegally entered the stadium.
Bang on! People criticising it say at home posting hashtags on twitter then criticise real protests.
Gutted I couldn’t be there, family birthday that I couldn‘t get out of.
Can’t believe anyway can actually be against the protest though, really proud of the supporters there today.

0/11 GUESSING THE TEAM LINE UP
I guess they want to show they are not ashamed of doing this.
Obviously trained antifa agents.

I support the protesters, even if some private property is destroyed (the Glazers can compensate) or if the team is docked 3 points. Disruption is necessary.
Anyone saying the protest is a bad idea or there idiots should automatically be banned from this forum,
Glazers out
