No covid breach it seems.
Tannoy at OT just announced that operations were returning to normal.

Have the teams left the hotel yet?
what by breaking and entering , trespassing, criminal damage , assault on Police, throwing flares around, you think this is right ??
I totally agree with the protest outside, but not with what else has happened, the Glaziers wont care , they wont care if we have point deducted.
This wont send a message to anybody , other than some United fans have crossed a line.
Ah, you just misunderstood. Your first response was anecdotal: the India reference. My point was if you want anecdotes, you can look at India just a few months before where mass protests didn’t lead to superspreader events, or the more notable US protests.
I wasn’t suggesting using anecdotal evidence was a good idea. You should look at the studies into superspreader events. The vast majority of them are not remotely similar to this. They have a lot of people, sure, but almost everything else about the context is different.
You’re attributing your belief to Fauci. He hasn’t said conditions like this are likely super spreader events. He assessed the evidence from last year and came to a much tamer assessment. Like going to the restaurant, it is a risk factor. All contact is. Elevating this above that no longer fits the evidence.
Nope
Those are not peaceful protests.

Ah, I'm just catching up on this after being out this afternoon. I hope there are no serious injuries; as well as the obvious welfare of the officers doing their jobs causing physical harm to people does the cause no good.
Oh for sure. There is that concern. If anything, I only hope we all get vaccinated asap and life can go on. Protest all you want then. Now, when we are almost at the end of the tunnel, let's not get complacent. Just a few more months, if anything.
Personally, I think it makes more sense to protest for gov legislation on 50+1 than this. This stopping matches protest instead becomes a war of attrition and I have doubts enough fans have more longevity than the Glazers. And there may not even be a club left at the end of it.

I wonder if half the reason for them taking so long to decide if we play or not is because of who we are playing, increasing the potential for violence to develop rather than if it were say West Brom...
Came in here genuinely wondering if the same dozen or so posters would be bitching and moaning about our first half, blissfully unaware that the game hadn’t started yet.
I wish I was as ambivalent. These feckers are doing my head in, trying to be big time Charlies belittling the most passionate of fans.
Pretty clear this game ain't taking place today
5 minutes until half time, reckon there'll be a fair bit added on though...

Breaking and entering? What was broken to gain entry? As I understand it the gates were open.
Trespassing... meh. In the circumstance I have no issue with those who were peacefully protesting inside the ground. Throwing bottles at police is really stupid and dangerous and the kid I saw do it should be arrested. I don't support damaging the ground or endangering anybody. But that's what happens when large groups get angry, some people will take it too far in the heat of the moment.
The club should not let such anger build to this level. The owners are responsible just as much as the kid throwing bottles.
Annoyed? Good. That's what protests should do, jolt the people on the fence to take a position, fall on one side or the other.
Henderson hasn’t had a thing to do yet
Cones on the pitch at OT, would suggest the game is going ahead?
Any explanation by Ole about Cavani?
Phelan has arrived at least.
Well I dont want to hear a single complaint from our fans that our matches are boring!
Pogba's been invisible so far.

Settled down with some beers ready to rock and roll because of bank holiday Monday only to find the afternoon spoiled by a bunch of cnuts.
Proper parked bus tactics by both teams so far. Hate to see it in a game like this.
No VAR controversy in this half yet.
First half performances haven't been great this season. This is the worst first half these have had. Non existant in all areas of the pitch, terrible stuff. Just a good job the Liverpool forwards haven't shown up yet. Could be in real trouble otherwise.
Not a shot on target so far.
People got carried away with the Roma match.

Make a fecking sub Ole. It’s just not working.
Ffs I read some of the comments and panicked. Thought I was missing the game
Hopefully a 2nd half will be better.
If the match does go ahead today, it is going to be real tough for United – and the odds available on the betting exchanges reflect that. It’s a must win game for a Liverpool side who have had a week off, versus a United side for whom the game is likely fairly inconsequential and who are coming off a big high from the match on Thursday. It’s difficult to fake intensity.
Keane is saying on Sky we are Grelish and Kane +1 more away from challenging City.
Not sure Kane is the answer but I agree Grelish would do well here.

If this still goes ahead, I hope we fecking smash them just to see Souness blow his lid.
The owners are the issue, not the stewards or Police. Saying the club caused people to get angry? How so? The owners and Ed are not the club.
Not sure how you can justify a coward throwing bottles over the head of other fans in the direction of the police as being anyone else’s fault other than their own. Just moronic behaviour.
