Can you imagine the dope's face when it occurred to him what was happening was his fault?!
Great bar story further down the line though.Can you imagine the dope's face when it occurred to him what was happening was his fault?!
Agreed. It was very thorough the first game after the Paris attacks but since then the pat downs are a slight tickle under the arms and away you go.How are any of us surprised by this? The supposed 'security' staff checking punters going into the ground all year are a joke. Not criticising those kids but if they are representative of the type of 'security' the club employs I'm sad to say we'd all be better off policing ourselves.
To be honest you can't pin this one on just one person. Unlike what seems to be the consensus here, I think the situation was dealt with terribly. Of course they'll evacuate when they see something suspicious, nothing about that shows special handling of the situation. What's terrible is though:The individual responsible should be dealt with by that company, i've said that repeatedly.
Except the police are already involved so they would continue investigating if the evidence did not support the "cover up". The cops would be unlikely to let a real terror attempt go.But with the training exercise story, it ends the whole thing there. No witch hunt or panic.

But they don't have to make it public. I doubt they make all their Intel public.Except the police are already involved so they would continue investigating if the evidence did not support the "cover up". The cops would be unlikely to let a real terror attempt go.
On the other hand the authorities would want to share the information with other agencies and clubs to step up awareness and security, Which then means the real story would soon be leaked.Lets just say that if today was a genuine bomb threat and they did want to cover it up, i couldn't have thought up a better story myself to end the fear and panic it could cause.
It is definitely in all parties interests to not publicise a genuine bomb threat at Old Trafford. Plus, if ISIS were behind it, for example, they wouldn't want them to get the media exposure that they would have wanted.
This isn't Intel in your example it was a real terror attack attempt.But they don't have to make it public. I doubt they make all their Intel public.
ye but it's not the clubs fault that did not take place.And? When the training exercise finished, why weren't all the devices accounted for?
He's a lucky chap. Will now get the rematch and the cup final! As for who is responsible for his appearance... look no further than Shane Bluck, formerly of this parish.Any link or a bit more context to this story about Moses?

You're talking as if they tell us everything. They may make an arrest but they don't have to say it had anything to do with today. It'd be 'man involved with several terror plots' or something along those lines, as we usually get. They could quite easily cover up today's events now if they were genuine. ISIS won't claim a failed attack, if it was them.On the other hand the authorities would want to share the information with other agencies and clubs to step up awareness and security, Which then means the real story would soon be leaked.
Then if the culprits were arrested oops there goes the story.
Or if ISIS decided to blow the story....
This is interesting. How the fook did this happen ?Can you imagine the dope's face when it occurred to him what was happening was his fault?!
That would work real well at the trial.....amazing how easy it is to poke holes in stupidity just by actually thinking.You're talking as if they tell us everything.

And the media are right, a venue like Old Trafford should be checked at least once a day. At least someone as anxious as I am, would recommend it.Certainly the media are blaming us for not finding it.
We could never keep it secret.Lets just say that if today was a genuine bomb threat and they did want to cover it up, i couldn't have thought up a better story myself to end the fear and panic it could cause.

Die Hard 6: A Philosophy of ViolenceObviously Van Gaal stopped the plot like an action movie.
He fought his way through countless terrorists and managed to defuse the device 1 second before detonation.
Die Hard: Old Trafford. Coming to a cinema near you.
The terrorists are forced to watch a Manchester United game, and promptly fall asleep.Die Hard 6: A Philosophy of Violence

I just feel sorry for the guy whose mobile phone was used for the exercise.Even though it's an external company that left it, I don't see how the club can be absolved of blame at all. It's on them to make sure the stadium is safe for entry.
The club can't be absolved of blame. I know some on here are laughing at this but as the so called 'biggest club in the world', the very least you can expect is that our owners pay to properly secure the ground. This incident today is totally unacceptable and symptomatic of a much much deeper malaise at United.Even though it's an external company that left it, I don't see how the club can be absolved of blame at all. It's on them to make sure the stadium is safe for entry.
