Full time Devils

Bobbins is proper old school United.
I love talking football to fellas like him in the pubs of Salford and Manchester, we may disagree on a lot but the passion and insight is definitely there.

Tate however seems to be an arrogant self publicist who I would cross the road to avoid. Chalk and Cheese them two.

Bobbins will be of an age that can remember bad times and doesn't want them back and knows how long it can take to recover. The others are spitting their dummies out and want a quick fix, when we might be past that.

It might not matter who manages us if the club is being run by imbeciles.
 
Bobbins is saying exactly what match a lot of goers have been saying this since last season. A few good games, and finishing 4th masked a really bad season. This season is only a continuation of last, only worse as the philosophy starts to get ingrained.

There is no quick fix. Matters not we get the best coaches in the world. This mess will take a time to unravel.

I was actually talking about the two lads that run that heap of shite and how they got caught out trying to extort fans

It was just Howson doing that wasn't it? McKola wasn't involved I don't think (if you're referring to him). I could be wrong though. :nervous:
 
Anyone ever watch this? God its shite. I tapped out on it last year, but decided to give it another go with the start of the new season. But I'm done. McKola seems like a good egg, but there's this unnatural vibe about the whole channel from everyone else. Steven Howson is still on it, which doesnt help. His shouty fat man act is tiresome. More preferable from pretending he's Tony O'Neill and ripping foreign fans off I suppose.

Its a shame really. RedCafe proves there are enough mad bastard United fans around to really get an entertaining channel going. But there's more preferable fan channels out there than ours.

Although I would love to see Bobbins and Claude together.
 
Nope still not going to watch that fecking channel as long as that idiot Howson is around. Their content is boring anyway.

I watch Arsenalfantv for the giggles though.
 
I tried it, but meh. The only decent thing about FTD though is that it's easy to catch up with pre and post match pressers.

Aye that's the only thing worth watching but I have the man utd app so I can see the presser there and other content as well.
 
It's part of a network of fan YouTube channels, along with BlueMoonRising and a Real & Barca channel, from Fremantle Media... So I'm always a bit wary of how genuine it is, and when you look at their vids, it's far too polished to be anything but that. The Utd channels on YT in general, are pretty shit and I reckon if the caf ever decided to set one up, it would be a great niche to tap into.

Copa90, RedMenTV & ArsenalFanTV are quality banter in different ways, but those above are horrid and corny.
 
I think The United Stand and FullTimeDevils are underrated on here, you should give it a try.

 
Channel officially closed today.


United Stand is the only other big United fan channel that remains which is a shame as it's a channel based on outrage that has no qualms about ridiculing the club and fans if it benefits them à la Arsenal Fan TV.

Not that I really care much, but curious as to why they are gone?

Presenters went on to other things. I think one of them now works for MUTV, the other is a presenter for ITV (Love Island I believe?). Stephen Howson has his own personal channel and opened a new fan channel called Stretford Paddock and Adam has his own channel as well.

Think they found it hard to replace the presenters and the views weren't coming in anymore.

Seems like they all did pretty well then.

Personally I stopped watching years ago and I'm not sure why. I think I just got bored of their content.

Yeah it was probably that. I think there was a lot of filler too. Usually the transfer stuff which is 98% false when it comes to United.

I've never watched The United Stand. Only AFTV for me :D
 
I hope most of them still pop up on Stretford Paddock instead but yeah two of them now work for the club (must be the dream for anyone who starts a fan channel)

I've stopped watching all fan tube channels. They are just full of hyped up people trying to make a name for themselves. The content is basically just fans opinions. You get to listen to peoples opinions on the radio, on TV, on red cafe, at work and up the pub.
 
Seen rumours that they've been bought out and are rebranding. The coming days will see how true that is.
 
There's real potential in the YouTube space for a top notch channel on Manchester United discussion/debates, as the ones I've seen really aren't that good. For example the gaming channels at least the better ones , are just so much better put together. The United/other football ones just seem more amateur in comparison
 
I've been following them for years! Sad to see this happen, but knowing how hard it is to maintain a youtube channel, it's understandable.

In their case, probably Adam or Howson has better revenue stream by doing their own thing rather than sharing it with Fulltimedevils.

It has been good times, thank you FTD.

Each one of the members have their own channel now.Adammckola, StephenHowson and Statmandave channels. And Statmandave sometimes does YouTube videos for MUTV.

Fulltimedevils was a good channel that I used to watch. But the end of the channel was seen coming as the quantity of posts decreased drastically over tha last few months.

Now only UnitedStand is there. But I don't like the channel that much when compared to Fulltimedevils. UnitedStand does the same content again and again. Day 1 it will be like Sancho is a confirmed signing for us, Day 2 it is we are not in for Sancho and Day 3 Sancho will be signed for 100m. But you can watch Unitedstand at times when they bring in some reliable journalist or players like Troy Deeney.

"Rantsnbants" finally was kicked off from the United Stand, so now I can fully enjoy it without having second thoughts, Flex is a quality presenter and I like a lot of the fans that pop on it often, even though Goldbridge is a bit of a twat at times.

FTD got very stale and unoriginal for the last year and a bit. They were great and the start, Adam is a top guy and I still follow his things from time to time. I was always a bit put off from Howson, due to all these stories how he allegedly used to trick foreign fans into paying ludicrous amounts of money, so that he can provide them with "unique fan experience" or something along those lines.
 
Wasnt Howson that guy that was selling tours to Manchester United fans coming from abroad? All in all, not a big loss, recent year or two they barely left thier room/studio.
 
FTD got a new producer about a year back. Think the writing was on the wall for a while. They weren't bringing out as much content and clearly relied on fan cams at the end. If your hoping a podcast with Andy Tate is going to save your channel, you are in bother. It was amazing a few years ago. When Ian and Sam Homewood were the presenters, real variety in the content. Had good people on like Doc Joshy and Webby too, it's sad because I watched it nearly everyday and enjoyed it. I even bumped in to people at games from fan cams in the pub at OT, sad. Just got flat and was run by Adam and Howson at the end.

The United stand is prolific with video output, doesn't mean it's good. I think it's a shit version of AFTV and embarrassing for the club most of the time. They run down the players and shout just as much as AFTV in fan cams. The one thing about FTD is that they had fans of all ages and never made it like that. Except for Andy Tate rival fans wouldn't flock to laugh at the meltdown.
 
Goldbridge killed the media channel. Great victory for him. Was fed up of Full Time Devils propaganda. They got what they deserved. Happy for Flex and Goldbridge.
