Stop buying shit. Since thats the only thing the glazers understand, thats the only thing thats going to work. This has done feck all towards the goal of getting the Glazers out. Successful? Dont make me laugh.A protest is about sending a message and, inevitably, some people will be pissed off by it in some way.
With this in mind, it's been very successful. What are the fans meant to do instead? Send a few nasty tweets, a couple of rounds of Kumbaya, and refuse to buy the Official Man Utd Lunch Box? As long as nobody is hurt and it doesn't turn into a full blown riot, which doesn't look to be the case here.
People are throwing stuff at journalists and police now, bottles, flares and seats from what I understand.What violence?? Sure a corner flag was attacked but...
Agreed. I would go the full boycott route: tickets, merchandise, sponsors, TV broadcasters; but I know many wouldn't be prepared to do it.A protest is about sending a message and, inevitably, some people will be pissed off by it in some way.

Who promoted this?Stupid soccer fans..burning down Manchesterland. Bet they are all antifa as well. (No not the blazers, the ones in hoodies).
What you on about? It's not about being biased. I've got friends there today on both sides of that.OK mate. I believe you, it’s great to have a totally unbiased source on the forum. One that knows that ambulances are generally on the scene for not very good things, no less.

Guilty!This thread makes it agonizingly clear who's been to protests and demonstrations and who hasn't.
Policeman was confirmed to be injured due to some violent clashes with police.What violence?? Sure a corner flag was attacked but...
It's every player and most UK sports media outlets as well.Its only the clubs and official football bodies
Negotiate a bit more brother! It's all goodI'm just pissed off the game is delayed, negotiated with the wife earlier to leave me in peace for a couple of hours while I drink a few and don't have to listen to the kids.
Feck sake.
One or two will always take it too far. You have to expect a few minor incidents when people get angry. The best thing the club can do is not push people to the point of such anger.Peacefully protest, sure, but no criminal behaviour like today. But that won't help if the same protesters take their seats at the Stretford End.

Prolly longer than that. NBC says the team bus haven't left the Lowry yet. Typically team arrives a couple hours prior.The game should start in one hour.
How?Ugh Sky are making Gary recant.

Are you related to the glazers?What a ridiculous post. These twerps on the pitch are literally breaking the law, looking like a bunch of sheep whilst at it. Leaders? Wow, none of these are leaders of anything. They are just irrational deadbeats with nothing to lose, except the ability to go to the stadium after receiving their lifetime bans tomorrow. We’ll see if it was worth it then.
I doubt it's antifa, they are a bunch of middle class idiots. They wouldn't want to be seen with plebs.Stupid soccer fans..burning down Manchesterland. Bet they are all antifa as well. (No not the blazers, the ones in hoodies).
Oh I see. As long as they're not molatovs I guess. Personally I'm not sure what a Kumbaya protest will achieve...so good luck to them.People are throwing stuff at journalists and police now, bottles, flares and seats from what I understand.
Yes, something has to be done beyond complaining on the internet. These people have my support.Completely agree.
What, more people getting hurt so we can enjoy our football more in the long run?Feel sorry for the guys whose evening has been spoilt by these pointless protests.
Let's hope it happens next home game as well!
Forgive my cynicism. Being from Bristol, when the police say they’ve been injured at protests, we tend to wait for the revised version of events before we let it sway our opinion.What you on about? It's not about being biased. I've got friends there today on both sides of that.
Not the time for your point scoring. Not in the mood.
For sure! Hoping we don't let them off the hook now, feels like this is the closest we have got to getting rid of the feckers.God forbid one game gets postponed. In reality it is a minor inconvenience, and it has made a huge noise.
One of the injured cops was shown on camera by NBC’s coverage. Large gash down his face.Were they? Source?
