ever get that feeling of déjà vu?
Ha....Jesus
It's going to bombGuys...I know this won't be popular, but hear me out, as I'm going to say what everyone is secretly thinking...
How's this going to affect the share price?
A mistake has been made in the process and nobody is fully yet sure how it happened. But using this incident to feed it into the wider narrative of Manchester United incompetence is tiresome already. We may have been using this company for years. What's important is that the club dealt with what was (at the time) a very real security risk and did so safely and effectively.Thank God we have you around to defend the reputation of the club huh this place is getting RAWK lite
You're telling me no United staff were involved in this activity and no United staff managed the grounds in between the events?
You know what external means?The embarrassment stems from the fact that the club's own employees planted the fake bomb by accident. If you think that's not embarrassing, you must have skin like a rhino
What part of "external company" can you not comprehend?The embarrassment stems from the fact that the club's own employees planted the fake bomb by accident. If you think that's not embarrassing, you must have skin like a rhino
On the other hand would anyone at the club know immediately that the device in question was left behind by the security firm? You are assuming that someone must have known all along it was a device left behind but since it was left by mistake .....During all the confusion and investigations when the package was found, surely someone within Old Trafford must have been aware of such a drill taking place mid-week and would have let someone know "Hang on a minute. That's from the security drill from Wednesday. Just lob it in the bin". The amount of media coverage it was getting, if someone was involved in that drill midweek but wasn't at Old Trafford today, one phone call would have cleared it up.
Would nobody have thought it was a bit of an unbelievable coincidence that staff at Old Trafford were doing bomb security drills on Wednesday, and then A MOTHERfeckING BOMB appears on the next nearest match day?
Come off it.
haha I'm sure Ed is thinking the same thing.Guys...I know this won't be popular, but hear me out, as I'm going to say what everyone is secretly thinking...

Be reasonable Rado. Ignore the trash posts. You cannot seriously believe that this in no way reflects badly on the club, in some way at least.You know what external means?
I don't think anyone has any details yet.Was this a company hired by the club to run a drill or a company that requested doing a training drill using OT?
Are you still figuring out how we're going to get fined? The FA will have a field day, I'm sure...Didn't realise stating potential reproccusions was juvenile.
I don't think anyone is debating that? The actions upon finding it are perfectly reasonable and correct. I think the issue centres around before the whole incident and why it was there.It's completely understandable to evacuate the stadium when a device specifically designed to look like a bomb is found an hour before kickoff on matchday. Security event a few days before hand or not.
It will reflect badly on our club even if it was the security firm. Thats just the way it is. When it did happen, we did act as we should do.I don't think anyone thinks a bomb scare is a laughing stock situation. But the negligence of how it was there reflects pretty badly on whoever is liable whether that's the club and the security company or just one of them.
External company using OT.Was this a company hired by the club to run a drill or a company that requested doing a training drill using OT?
Exactly. Even if you're 99% sure what it is you can't take the risk.It's completely understandable to evacuate the stadium when a device specifically designed to look like a bomb is found an hour before kickoff on matchday. Security event a few days before hand or not.
It's a bad sign that there were seemingly no (or at least insufficient) checks between then and now, but if an external firm failed to keep track of their equipment then that's their dumb fecking fault.Be reasonable Rado. Ignore the trash posts. You cannot seriously believe that this in no way reflects badly on the club, in some way at least.
And no one will or at least should question the actions upon it being found. But regardless of all the people who may say that I'm just using this to be juvenile and slam the club for anything I can find, I categorically believe that it reflects badly on us.It will reflect badly on our club even if it was the security firm. Thats just the way it is. When it did happen, we did act as we should do.
Don't think anyone thinks it isn't understandable.It's completely understandable to evacuate the stadium when a device specifically designed to look like a bomb is found an hour before kickoff on matchday. Security event a few days before hand or not.
Sounds like a regular day on the caf.What the feck is wrong with people today? The forum has been unbearable. So many needless insults flying around and people jumping the gun.

What part of 'employee' do you not comprehend? It makes no difference if it's a separate company or Old Trafford staff. If we chose to employ them to do our security, we're responsible for the fake bombs they leave laying around.What part of "external company" can you not comprehend?
I think the top fact alone is enough to be concerned. Concerned that any company has blanket and unsupervised access to our stadium. Concerned that there are no checks (at least apparently) before games. Stating that that is embarrassing for the club isn't an overreaction in my view. If you disagree, by all means go ahead.It's a bad sign that there were seemingly no (or at least insufficient) checks between then and now, but if an external firm failed to keep track of their equipment then that's their dumb fecking fault.
The club handled the situation perfectly well and have been lauded by the police for their response, but the feckwads on here are too busy being embarrassed and thinking they know everything.
I can understand why you say that and accept that, but I am already seeing post on Facebook and Sky say how the club is badly run and how did it not get spotted for 4 day, we did it on purpose, in the eyes of non United fans,that is how they are thinking about United.Have a word with yourself.
Indeed, its a shambles though, embarrassing, disgraceful, blah blah feckin blah.The great thing was that it was a mistake by a external company and not left by some terroris nutjob.
If the latter happened it would have been much worse. I don't want the events happening in Paris the last 12 months appearing in the UK. Now thankfully we can have a laugh at this situation.
Of course, it's the theme du jour.So, let me guess, people are blaming LVG & Woodward for this somehow?
