OT EVACUATED | Device signed as having been recovered, could NOT be detected by sniffer dogs

[MDFC Manager]

Doesn't even matter if this is played.

 

[Klopper76]

If there's any doubts about safety then it's the right move. I've never seen something like this happen before.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Woah

 

[MrMarcello]

Shit! FS1 commentator just said a device (I presume in the package) was found.

 

[NK86]

So what will happen now? Will the match be replayed?

 

[Stookie]

Must have found something in the package.

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

This reflects the season, total shambles on and off the pitch.

Calling the game off is probably the best idea.

 

[The Taurean]

Oh wow. Hope nothing untoward happens and folks are safe.

 

[bosnian_red]

What the feck

 

[Loon]

Better movement and organisation from the crowd leaving than seen on the pitch in some time.

 

[Amadaeus]

Oh my god, it is happening!!

 

[Aporkalypse]

If there's any doubts about safety then it's the right move. I've never seen something like this happen before.

Absolutely. It's the fans leaving that I'm worried about now.

 

[Varun]

Jesus.

 

[Livewire1974]

Look on the bright side, we dont have to tolerate LVG at OT any longer.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Wow. Hope it's just a precaution and nothing more. Right call if there's even a slight doubt though so well done to the Old Trafford security team.

 

[Someone]

Glad security was on top of this.

 

[Stookie]

Swansea have a perfectly good goal disallowed.

 

[Raw]

This is mental. Well done to those who found the package before anything happened.

 

[bleedred]

ABANDONED according to BBC

 

[Cheesy]

This reflects the season, total shambles on and off the pitch.

How is the match being abandoned due to safety concerns a shambles? Safest option to take.

 

[BringNaniBack]

Swansea have a perfectly good goal disallowed.

Yep. Not a good day for United at all so far is it.

 

[Judge Red]

Can we just forfeit the match and give Bournemouth the three points? Playing it now would be the ultimate humiliation.

Alternatively, the pointless rearranged match would be the send off LVG deserves.

 

[All 3 United]

The away fans couldn't have travelled further, Bournemouth.

Safety first obviously.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Apparently the package was just van Gaals balls.

 

[#07]

You can't take risks on people's security. If there is a suspect package on site then the game cannot be played until its found.

I feel sorry for all the fans who have travelled to see the game today. The Manchester lads should be okay. Our fans from further afield won't be getting their cash back for making the trip though. Never mind the lot from the seaside.

 

[golden_blunder]

Probably some fecking idiot has done something stupid

 

[Livewire1974]

Means the package they found must be a bomb.

Feel for the Bournemouth fans, but safety needs to take priority.

If City win can we just give Bournemouth the points and be done with the season!

 

[Sigma]

Hopefully everyone is safe.

 

[Hammerfell]

@Stookie There's a thread for that.

 

[littlepeasoup]

How is the match being abandoned due to safety concerns a shambles? Safest option to take.

For sure.

 

[royboy16]

Was it fans that found the package ?

Feel sorry for the travelling fans but safety first.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

[BringNaniBack]

Our new signings must be thinking twice about why they signed for us now. The team bus battered last week, now I suspicious package found at our ground. Not good at all.

This reflects the season, total shambles on and off the pitch.

It's actually impressive how you've managed to turn a fecking bomb threat into a moan about the club...

 

[Cina]

This reflects the season, total shambles on and off the pitch.

Yeah feck sake how dare they put the safety of 75,000 people ahead of a game of football. Fecking amateurs.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Probably some fecking idiot has done something stupid

Most of our team this season

 

[peridigm]

Feel for the Bournemouth fans, but safety needs to take priority.

Excellent idea.
