Is it too much to ask for the pundits not to sniff like that into their mic?
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.The We decide when you play banner sort of makes sense now.
Hard to believe he's so clueless.Souness doesn’t get it, nobody wants to hear from him.
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 M6Tweet

While I fully understand the sentiment, how exactly do you think that the government is going to bring in the 51% ownership?Does anyone think the Glaziers actually care?
I mean under the law it is actually their club, they could strip us down and sell us off if they wanted to.
We need the government to bring in 50 + 1, the problem is clubs like City won't want this and will counter-protest.
Clearly you've never been to one straight after the school run....surely an arrestable offence. Collymore has more decency than that
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.NBC quickly turning into Fox News. Awful commentary and completely glossing over why this is happening.
Fully agreed, they're nothing but thugs that are doing things like that.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.
No idea, force through legislation?While I fully understand the sentiment, how exactly do you think that the government is going to bring in the 51% ownership?
The only embarrassing thing here is your nonsense about protecting the image of the company owned by the Glazers.I'm literally laughing at all those people who think that invading Old Trafford and showing vandalism on live TV is something that will make Glazers sell the club.
You're embarrassing the club we all love, you're devastating the ground you "love".
Two hundred drunken idiots have just made Glazers sell the club? Are you serious?
They've embarrassed the club, that's it.
Yeah, they're going too far now.Tweet

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.They should have brought a lawnmower and carved glazersout on the pitch
I'm afraid....Somebody stole a corner flag.
I see what you did there...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.
A dinosaur and a bias/blinkered dinosaur. Kernob.Souness again , seriously Sky ..
Agree with my fellow Bristolian. You and I know that what is reported about the police very often gets revised.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.
Can't believe they weren't all wearing masks for this reason at least, hope they use them next timeThe 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.
Why did you quote it again“We decide when you play.”
I hope the snobs who arrogantly guffawed at this last week are enjoying this now.
The protest were much bigger in 2010 but maybe you weren’t paying much attention as your club was busy with spending oil money.Protesting is very important, as is visibility of protests. However, I don't believe United fans would be going to the lengths of attempting to prevent the game happening if they were within 5 points of City right now - which was entirely possible this season. I'm not suggesting that lack of success is the reason for the protest, but that possibility of league success this season would have changed the form of it.
That - plus the potential danger it created for club staff, stewards and broadcasters (innocent bystanders who did the safe thing and didn't resist) - is why forcibly entering the stadium on a match day during a pandemic was too far in my opinion. The idiotic behaviour of the minority of those who did enter the stadium also undermines the protest. The media is already more focussed on fan protests than it has been in a long time.
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.While I fully understand the sentiment, how exactly do you think that the government is going to bring in the 51% ownership?
I think they dont give a feck, because youll still keep buying their shite.What do you think the sponsors who give the Glazers lots of money think of this?
Indeed.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.
the staff need showing footage from Father Ted to see how to protect the corner flagsIf 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.
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.The glazers will hate every second of this. Big spotlight now on these cretins. Well done to all who protested today.
well perhaps then on we would never lose a game againI hope the protests happen at all the remaining home games. If they can't get into the stadium, then at least outside it.
