Alright I don't agree with doing everything they can to block the match from going ahead a 2nd time. Vandalizing the Liverpool bus? At that point you get the players fearing for their safety. That's past the point of a normal protest and just trying to cancel the game now.

Hopefully Klopp brought a few Snicker bars with him. He could be stuck for a while.

2 decoy Liverpool coaches and the United squad already within the stadium. How exciting. :lol:

If that Liverpool bus isn't a decoy and the team are making their way to the ground by a fleet of helicopters, the people in charge lack imagination.
Genuinely, if they thought the team bus was the most inconspicuous way to smuggle the team in I'm amazed.

Surely, at a minimum, they could at least have hired a blacked out one that doesn't have 'Liverpool' plastered across it.

Is it still a peaceful protest if we puncture the team bus? Genuine question :lol:

Protests are meant to be inconvenient so we're looking at a fine line here. It's vandalism so certainly illegal, in the strictest sense.

Yes it's a stupid point. This is targeting the players and staff, not the owners. It's wrong.
They’ve let the air down on the tyres. The players aren’t even in the coach, or anywhere near it. Protests are supposed to be an inconvenience. Why do you think strikes happen when people aren’t happy with working conditions?

Please relax :lol:

Yeah. It's not good to target actual players whether they Utd or Liverpool players. After all they are just humans doing a job.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we have to play without fans for the last two matches behind closed doors.

Whether its stupid is debateable, its effective. Standing around holding hands singing Glazers out doesnt do anything
It's effectiveness is also debatable, as I don't think the Glazers will sell regardless nor is there anyone realistic who can afford us unless we go down the Saudi route which is even worse.

Do you know how to get rid of the protestors? Offer them a job; they would run for the hills.
