Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Strange post, they’re not all thugs and they are fans. It has done something, it’s headline news and being seen all over the world and there’s probably more to come. The Glazers want to quietly move on, your attitude of it’s all pointless let’s just accept it is their idea of a fan.
They were monitoring the situation
What? That a man who resembles Eric is holding a sign? I'd say it's not that farfetched.

I do mate.
Had an amazing day today with a bunch of mates getting the biggest game in English football called off.
You have a little moan on the Internet fella.
To everyone that was at Old Trafford today - I love you all!
Except Keith, you know what you did...

Love handles on that
Think they vastly under estimated how many people would turn up and did not deploy enough security staff and police. Which is good in a way as it shows how many people are angry.
Maybe the few who resorted to violence were fifth columnists put there by ...the Glazers?
"land of the free"
Actually thought it was him. Wouldn't be the first time he's rocked the homeless look.
This is poetry
It’s not important, he has the same name and this is enough
exactly. It would have been just another protest. Now from financial times to bloomberg, every business platform is reporting this.
Exactly.

What a proud day to be a United fan.

That's awful! He was explaining it all very well! Awful
But I do think Taylor was agreeing and saying , he can't really comment because as American he does not have this type of relationships with teams.
He's a criminal deserving jail time.
Guess that is the risk. Plus if a £4 bill club goes to the stock market it will be run like any company for profit maximisation, but there will of course be a difference when there are many different owners compared to one. No easy ways out unfortunately.
Reading beyond the headline - very proud day indeed. Thanks for sharing the article.
Don't be ridiculous!
The majority of the violence seems to have occurred when the police engaged the protesters and attempted to disperse them, unsurprisingly there was a little bit of kickback from the protesters but nothing to write home about. It will be made out to be some sort of mass violence but it really was a storm in a teacup.
I'm not condoning the violence but you have to ask why did the police actually engage the protesters? For what reason? The game was almost certainly going to be called off, why didnt they just call the game off and allow the protest to disperse naturally once the protesters had got what they wanted all along.
Sounds like someone didnt do a risk assessment, and decided to put the officers and protesters in harm's way for absolutely zero gains.

He's had a busy day. Poor lad needs a drink.
It was a proud day. I've been going home and away for 20 years. I cant think of many better.
But you focus on that one incident mate.
Good man!
I'm skeptical of Police claims of injury.
Only last month during protests in Bristol the Police lied about several officers having injuries such as broken rips - it was reported widely then quietly days later the Police admitted no Police suffered injuries. It's a PR war.

It proper kicked off with them when they decided to move everyone on for no apparent reason. Can definetly see an injury or two occurring, got pretty lively.
Don't be ridicules, you really think this will get the club sold.
Agree with the protest 10000% dont agree with this !

Fair play to him, he might well have seen the situation getting bad and decided letting them in was the best way.
Either way, I dont think he will be in a job after this pic is seen.
