Is it too much to ask for the pundits not to sniff like that into their mic?
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
The trouble is, everyone of those protesters will be banned from OT for life after this incident, so it's unlikely the protests will continue, at least on this scale anyway. The police will be a lot more prepared for the next home game too.
I was sympathetic to the protesters’ cause but Bill O'Rei…Souness there changed my mind 
Hard to believe he's so clueless.
The glazers will hate every second of this. Big spotlight now on these cretins. Well done to all who protested today.
This was only recent, and yet people see to have forgotten about it. It never ceases to amaze me how much some / a lot of people want to live in a police state.
Hopefully the driver went straight on the M6
While I fully understand the sentiment, how exactly do you think that the government is going to bring in the 51% ownership?
I hope the protests happen at all the remaining home games. If they can't get into the stadium, then at least outside it.
So, how is terrorising and harassing people in their cars going to get the Glazers out of the club? People will say it is peaceful, but would you find it funny if a large group of people surrounded your car and started shouting stuff at you? I bet people wouldn't find it funny it that situation. You don't know what they would do; you don't know them.
It is typical trouble makers who are claiming their trouble-making has a meaning.

Clearly you've never been to one straight after the school run....
Not really, but still a fan of yours... Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Fully agreed, they're nothing but thugs that are doing things like that.
The only embarrassing thing here is your nonsense about protecting the image of the company owned by the Glazers.
This is about damaging their asset, even if the collateral damage will be short-term damage and even some points docked for us as a football club.
Seeing as you are from Poland, I wonder if you think your government is entitled to do what they've been doing in curbing your freedoms recently. And do you think your compatriots should have stayed at home and hastaged their way to protesting against your government. Were you embarrased then as well?
Joke of a post.
Yeah, they're going too far now.
You just quoted yourself then.
I don’t follow...

Need to just call it off now! There’s no way they’ll get the game clashing with the line of duty season finale

Surely posted already but worth repeating anyway, if so.
If some of the staff were in cahoots with the organizers and the latter knew they were going to get in, it really would have been great to have pulled off a 'big'/'positive' visual that would get the message across to completely uninvolved people who might see it in the media.
I'm afraid....
...I'm afraid they got all four.
I see what you did there...
A dinosaur and a bias/blinkered dinosaur. Kernob.
Media suggesting play it tomorrow ..... a bank holiday where fans/protestors will likely be back, possibly in more numbers and possibly after a drink or eight.
Agree with my fellow Bristolian. You and I know that what is reported about the police very often gets revised.
The argument that the Glazers "have put money into the club" is moot when the proof is there. No money has been invested. It has been taken out the club and the Glazers only release a percentage of the generated revenue for the squad investment. Thats not conjecture, thats fact. Its in every financial release.
Any money that has been used for squad improvement has been wasted regardless as they had an investment banker in charge who openly admitted to Andy Mitten in an interview that they have been getting it wrong for years

Can't believe they weren't all wearing masks for this reason at least, hope they use them next time
“We decide when you play.”
I hope the snobs who arrogantly guffawed at this last week are enjoying this now.
Why did you quote it again The protest were much bigger in 2010 but maybe you weren’t paying much attention as your club was busy with spending oil money.
Considering the current ownership model of majority of PL clubs you are probably looking at government having to put together £50bn or so to buy out the clubs in the first place. Correct me if I’m wrong but vast majority of clubs in the top two divisions are already private owned.
The match will 100% be postponed now surely?
I think they dont give a feck, because youll still keep buying their shite.
Indeed.
the staff need showing footage from Father Ted to see how to protect the corner flags
Exactly, and that's the whole point. They have left United fans feeling there is no other option now but direct action. It would be great if this kind of protest could become a thing at every home game from now on. Build on this momentum and really put the squeeze on the Glazers. With this and the Super League shambles, we have them under pressure; let's keep it up.
well perhaps then on we would never lose a game again
A minority have gone too far but that is sadly almost inevitable, especially when feelings are running high. Anyone who caused any harm or damage should be punished.
I can’t remember any other incident in the Premier League where such disruption to a game has been caused or such hostility has been shown to the owners. Utd fans should be pleased to see this not worried about the game or if it will impact transfer targets.
