All I'm saying is Darmian had the place all to himself a few days ago...

OT EVACUATED | Device signed as having been recovered, could NOT be detected by sniffer dogs
- Thread starter Badunk
- Start date
Is there any aspect of our club that's functioning properly? This is unbelievable.
I hope someone ends up compensating the Bournemouth fans.

Screw the recovery, play fringe and reserve players, no starters.Take the fine from the FA,the Cup final is more important than this meaningless game. You would have to be mental to play any of the first team so close to a cup final, it would be just giving Palace an advantage.
I didn't want to say this at the the time, but knowing now it was all down to some dumb idiot not doing his job properly, they've done us a favor. We can play the kids on Tuesday and our key players all get a nice long rest.
I think that security firm better brace itself for being sued by United.
FFS I will just pretend that it was the real bomb but authorities don't want us to know that so they came up with this story to keep people calm.
WHAT !!! so now the blame is to the club !! FFS this place gets worse.
I suppose the obvious takeaway from the story is that between Wednesday and Sunday there are no - or at least insufficient - sweeps of the ground. That'll change, you'd imagine.
Oh wow...
Why did it take so long for the external company to let it be known it was their device??

This is bizarre
Piccadilly Gardens and nearby buildings got evacuated a couple of years back because a device was found that turned out to be a laptop in a bag. Better safe than sorry.
Not helped by Luckhurst making it look like it was a security drill from the club
Sorry but I disagree with this completely. Yes some of the posts here are childish but it's naive to think it has feck all to do with the club. There must have been oversight and if not there should have been. Maybe some are but I'm not just using this as a tool to slam the club. But I categorically disagree with the notion that something of this scale can be ignored regardless of whether it is just negligence by someone. I've already said the fall out may be on the club or just the security firm, the answer to which I don't know as I don't have the details. But there will definitely be fallout.
It would explain why the device looked convincing. I wonder of anyone can sue the security company over this. Could be a big week in court for some lawyers there.
I'm taking a postivie spin on things. It proved to be a real life training for those involved in dealing with a bomb. Though it was all from someone ballsing it up, seemed to be dealt with well, which is reassuring.
Yep, much better to believe it was a real bomb and peoples lives were at risk as long as it doesn't risk embarrassing the club. Have a word ffs
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?
This could be very costly, big refunds to come for travel and accommodation
We know how to evacuate, thats a positive.
To be honest if the club employs an incompetent security firm that leaves fake bombs laying around, I would blame them too. They're responsible for their employees and contractors.
Whoever attached that prop a few days ago is probably shitting themselves at this very moment.
This is all over Sky News now.
FFS why did somebody from the security firm not pick up a phone and tell them what it was.
This is a fecking joke.

This is like something from Brasseye.
But were OT staff involved in the training? If not, why was such training held at Old Trafford? Would it not be for OT staff to know what to do when a bomb is found?
Really?
You expect them to take that risk with 76000 people? The club did absolutely the right thing, yes, if they were aware they were doing this kind of training exercise they would have been fairly confident it wasn't going to be harmful, but they have a duty of care to inform the police and then the police will have taken the course of action that was taken today. "Just lob it in the bin". Wow
They most likely used this company 100 times before and something has gone wrong today.
It is embarrassing. But the club isn't entirely at fault.
The perfect end to this season.
OLD TRAFFORD LIVES!!!
I have been on one of these sort of things and when I did it , every piece of equipment was counted before and after to stop something like this happening.
Somebody is in deep shit and the Security Company is going to suffer for this big time in court I suspect.
But but but we are an embarrassment...Yep, much better to believe it was a real bomb and peoples lives were at risk as long as it doesn't risk embarrassing the club. Have a word ffs
I know a steward that worked today and he know nothing about the drill.
How has a fake bomb been sat in the toilets and not picked up by anyone before fans started filling the stadium 4 days later.
Agreed.
It had been there for 4 days prior to the game and nobody found it, which is a bit shocking.
Someone has dropped a massive bollock it seems.
At least the club acted sensibly though. Large event, lots of people all cleared without incident. Could have been real, wasn't and nobody got hurt. The systems work, so that's good.
Most of all, nobody intended to do this, which had to be a positive.

FFS once again United are the laughing stock of Football , Worldwide.
Have a word with yourself, will ya.
You are right mate, there was a chance that supporters were in danger, and the game was postponed because of that. Correct decision, if a suspected bomb is found then there is no alternative but to call the game off. The safety of the people at the match is paramount and I am happy to see that is how it was treated by the club. No Embarrassment, a suspected bomb has to be taken seriously.
