Well, they certainly won't be crowned champions today.Let's see what Liverpool fans will do. I have zero hopes for City though

Steve Austin would be perfectI've never really like him, think they could get a better presenter.
Exactly and everyone knows this. No one wants criminal damage or anyone to get hurt, United fans as a collective just want the Glazers gone.A small number at any protest will always be there just to do what they want, whether it’s vandalism, violence or something else.
The majority here today made their point. Well done you. Name and shame the dickheads fighting and jumping on cars
Yeah, to be honest it sounds like its getting ugly which is worrying, and isn't going to achieve anything good.It's still kicking off by the way. Away from the cameras.
Sky will be pissed as this was a big money spinner with advertisersIt's obvious sky don't agree with the sentiment, and they're having to cut the broadcast because of that.
Where is that happening?It's still kicking off by the way. Away from the cameras.
Lowry and in the surrounding areasWhere is that happening?
Brilliant speech in fairness.
Are we sure this is footage from today?
Promote this guy.Direct action is the only way things have changed in the last century. That or having a large well funded militia and support through opaque offshore NGOs. I'd settle for either option to remove the glazers from our club.
I doubt it. We may have lost any prospect of us playing Fulham in front of fans though. We have to expect some form of punishment.I wonder will they try and get it played at a neutral ground tomorrow?
Well played to him. This is far bigger than club rivalry; it's even bigger than football; it's about how global capitalism operates and devours everything, destroying communities for the enrichment of a small group of ruthless, amoral plutocrats.Fecking well done Carra!
Sky presenter trying to get Him and Neville condem fans on the pitch and Carra defending them!
Great to see it!
3 days before is no problem.it's an awful precedent: what if we were at 2-2?
Fans have nothing to do with them owning the club. There were protests when we were in CL finals and winning the league every other yearI applaud the peaceful elements of the protest but do not forget that 90% of them and you are complicit in the footing the Glazers have. The slogan was green and gold until we're solid right? How long ago was that? And what happened, they bought your silence with success and because they had Ferguson on side. I'd love to hear his thoughts on their ownership model.
???? That's not what happened. There was a peaceful protest, and a single entity did something stupid.Yes, throwing beer bottles at the police is how you protest ownership of football club. Some of you people need to get a grip. Its a f*cking game.
As an Indian I'm sick and tired of hearing this nonsense that somehow we magically got our independence non violently. FOR CHANGING ANY STATUS QUO, YOU NEED FORCEFUL ACTION.Do you have any idea about how India got its freedom or is Gandhi the only name you know about and you parroted it off?
Because it was fine when the future of him and his employer were threatened. That's (temporarily) over, so Sky can revert back to being part of the problem.Souness doing a hatchet job on those protesting at United and elsewhere.
wind up???I don't understand how some people seem to condone any action so long as there is a "reason" behind it. I bet most of those people in the protest don't even care about Manutd; they just care about causing trouble. It is weird how people fall for this.
How does harassing people in their cars, vandalising property, breaking and entering, injuring police officers, throwing bottles, firing flares give these people a leg to stand on? I know people take firing fireworks and flares as a bit of a joke, but if they hit someone, it can cause severe burning. People are supporting scum to get rid of owners of a football club.
Put it into a bit of perspective: people are supporting violence and crime for the sake of football. Madness.
Graeme Souness made it sound like the storming of the beaches at Normandy.Are we sure this is footage from today?
I've seen no mention of it on Sky and both Gary and Carragher said from what they saw the protest was peaceful.
Surely, they would have mentioned this?
The Lowry was cleared of protesters hours ago???The ones at the Lowry are still allowing the players and the coaches to leave.
as always so many rules for protestors. If the precondition of every protest was that no unfortunately or I'll advised even occur then we'd pretty much have to do away with protests and a voice for the public. This is the problem with how people see protests. You poke people, strip them of their rights and treat them like garbage and then want them to protest in a way that's convenient to you (not you) , or better yet, not at all. Violence must condemned of course but at the same time the protest and anger of fans just be understood.The so called fans should protest at the Glazers' office/where they live in the UK, but not at the stadium. It only hurts the club. They should target the owners.
Probably had a lot more viewers watching just to see what's going on.Sky will be pissed as this was a big money spinner with advertisers
A lot were not even wearing masks, so you would think a lot could be easily picked out.Anyone throwing a flare or any object like bottles or beer cans should be banned for life.
Keep it peaceful.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane on Sky Sports: "I’m disappointed the game is off. We all are.
"United fans have had enough. They’re doing this because they love the club. It’s not just the last few weeks and the Super League, it's been building for years. They’ve thought enough is enough. It’s a huge statement for the game to be called off.
"This has been the build-up of the last few years. The leadership of the club hasn’t been good enough. When they look at the owners they think it's all about making money. I believe the United fans are doing this because they love the cub.
"People might not agree but sometimes you have to put a marker down for people to notice. This will go all over the world. Hopefully the owners see the fans are deadly serious.
"There's more to come, this is just the start from Man Utd fans, I guarantee you."
But there lies the issue with “Defund the police” - only the extreme far left are the ones saying get rid of all police but that’s what the media and fake news on social media pushes what the movement supossedlyFeck off with this shit. I hate this kind of attitude. There's always bad apples in every walk of life (see today's pitch invasion), but the police for all the faults that people that sympathise with your post might spout, they risk their well-being to keep the rest of us safe. Of course, sometimes the wrong person will get prosecuted or worse, but there's no smoke without fire. The police should be applauded for all the shit they take, and if you find them at your door they're likely there for a reason 99.9% of the time.
The biggest barrier to arranging fixtures is arranging policing. Virtually zero chance Greater Manchester Police have any interest in roll-calling the number of police required to have this game go ahead tomorrow at 24 hours’ notice.3 days before is no problem.
Surely you understand Mon to Thur is no different to Sat to Tue, or Sun to Wed?
The most they have is 3 options
Option 3 I think has no chance. Option 2 disrupts a 3rd team. Option 1 makes most sense as the players can just stay in their hotel another day and go again.
- Play it tomorrow (easiest choice)
- Move it to the saturday we have free, but Liverpool have another fixture, by moving that fixture to this midweek
- Squeeze one of our games on a day, and shoehorn it in 2 days before hand, compromising all 3 games
Yep. Collective Action gets the goods.Direct action is the only way things have changed in the last century. That or having a large well funded militia and support through opaque offshore NGOs. I'd settle for either option to remove the glazers from our club.
Theyre very angry about this on bluemoonBeautiful the way this has ruined a potential bank holiday title celebrating piss up for the berties. Well played all. Well played.
