I agree with you, mate. Good on them today, but no excuse for any vandalism.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Idiotic post
Violence over football is pathetic. Complain about the ownership all you want, but as soon as you resort to violence that is far worse.
This is what people need to focus on.
I'm just floored that there are actually United supporters here who look at this and say "what's the point?". Fecking hell.
I'm all for it...scarves did nothing. This will no doubt be the same but it's something at least and gives some momentum towards change.
I don't think 50+1 model is good model for ManUtd. Look at Bundesliga, how it lags behind La Liga and EPL. The 50+1 model would slowly kill the league.
Ok, fair enough. I don't doubt they love the club. They are just stupid. And the people in here condoning the criminity as "the last resort" as if they are an oppressed minority, are just as stupid.
It is possible, but momentum must be built through protests.
That you can't see it and are actively arguing against this staggers me tbh.
It looks like it was overwhelmingly peaceful. Even entering the stadium, it’s peaceful and it causes delays, panic, news etc.. it’s perfect for what they wanted to achieve.
A very small minority took it too far and caused criminal damage, that is where the line should be drawn. I just don’t want the perception of this to be ‘thug united fans’
Had they done this to a goverment building they would have been shot by now.
Neville and the rest of the media has really started something that might lead to something big. I’m 100 % certain that without Neville’s rants these lot and other fans wouldn’t react anywhere close to this. People are a lot like sheeps.

Can’t wait till post counts in this thread are used to define who is red enough.
Someone was complaining that it disrupted their afternoon viewing and a few beers
That’s the problem inherent with large protests. You set your cause back if you don’t do it impeccably.
he’s the law
United generate the most money in the league, we would benefit greatly from it. City would suffer hugely.
Proud to be a united fan, as simple as that.
The latter is the worry. We need legislative reform to give fans a say in decisions relating to their club. We’ve already got right wing commentators condemning the protests and unfortunately we need the government on board to get anything done. Most in here seem to think because it made CNN the Glazers will now sell to some benevolent billionaire United fan - the government is the only way anything gets done and these images of violence are about to be spun to feck.
If we can keep this up even through next season maybe they will manage to get the Glazers out. This kind of things hurts publicity, will hurt share price and if this sort of thing happens again like delaying a game it could have an impact financially. Staying at home and writing on a forum of how much you don't want the Glazers out doesn't work and neither does the green and gold scarf thing in stadiums. This is the only way and the only hope to make things happen.
The real thugs are the ones who have stolen millions out of our club and put massive debt on it which we never had, not these fans who are doing this for the love of their club.

Because they are stupid and most don't understand basic economics or business. It's why I am sceptical of the 50+1 rule
.For all the fans here proud of what's happened today, wish I could buy you a beer!
We won a battle today. We will win the war. Glazers out!

Get out. How dare you come on here and pipe up when your club is one of the big problems here.
Well done Boys. I would have loved to be there and participate.
Lucky sod.
Fair do’s to your fans. Respect is due.
Hahaha what a bunch of fannies!
Totally support the protesters, besides not wearing masks and that one guy destroying the camera everything else was spot on.
It's as pacific as a protest can be, every offended fan by this clearly knows nothing about fighting for something and I surely think the way to solve this is posting on Twitter or something.

Ironically it’s the latter who whinge every year when we don’t sign Neymar and talk about their expected standards and ‘product’.
As far as a United vs Liverpool match goes, this match is as dead rubber as it gets.
So well done fans. Don't injure anyone though please.

Apathy is the absolute worst possible outcome. We need sustained passion, sustained debate and protest.
They don’t understand the club.
Completely agree.
Full support from me, I wish fans finally reclaim at least a bit of what was taken away from them.
Sad state of affairs when a Liverpool fan gets it better than many United fans.
That’s not what this is about.
If you thought the Tories were going to do anything on this, can I interest you in some magic beans or maybe a bridge (one previous owner)?
I'm actually happy with the protest honestly.
Even if its people breaking cameras, going into the ground, causing a scene and creating media attention like this.
The ESL showed how out of touch the owners are. They give some rote response of "oops we should have consulted fans".
The Glazers have bled the club for nearly two decades, United could get players like Mbappe, Haaland without really worrying about money if it wasn't for the Glazers, yet we struggle because of them.
We need true United fans as owners that want the team to win silverware.
Enough is enough at this stage, keep adding pressure to them and force them out.
United fans need to do this at every home game until the Glazers sell.
The Glazers wont sell without fan pressure, this needs to happen until they sell, enough is enough.
The Red Knights need to step in.

Were you there?
And violence? Protests are fine, but when you cross that line you are far worse than the Glazers.
