Damn, extremely terrible news 
Manchester Arena Bombing 22.05.17

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
A foyer is typically inside a building. So in that sense it is similar to some previous attacks elsewhere: a soft target just beyond the point at which security checks intensify.
Manchester is the only English city I have been in but I have been surprised by how little security and checking there is in the city. This was clearly completely out of the blue
I'd stick to GMP
He was asking about the tweet referring to a potential gunman at the hospital which has been debunked.
Her FB post will have been what caused the investigation, hopefully she gets charged for spreading lies and wasting their time on a night where people's lives have actually been taken. Pathetic.
Deleted my comment, I was incorrect.
Good post Van. Emotions run high when this shit happens though, we should all count to ten and be patient I think.
Totally. In this climate doing this could cause more people to die.
So sad, hope everyone on here and their families come through OK
Aye I've seen that. I said to Billy that it was nothing thankfully. Just some fecking idiot on Facebook.
No worries. It seemed legit.
Exactly! They should throw the book at her, I get some people posting unconfirmed reports unintentionally but to actively make something like that up is seriously messed up, probably even worse than the writer making jokes.
Think the guy who made a racist joke when Fabrice Muamba had his incident got in trouble so this girl should find herself in the same situation.
I just can't even imagine what the families are feeling. Looking at my little girl right now makes me want to cry. The other part of me wants to absolutely fecking destroy the cnut that did this.
Some heartbreaking tweets on Twitter with people posting photos of people still missing
Yeah, I understand. I'm watching the Sky News Youtube stream and they mentioned that news was getting to the US before the UK(They sounded surprised to me). Though they also mention that nothing has been confirmed.
Bah. Why would anyone target Manchester of all places. Pricks.
Let's not hound the girl who is likely the cause behind the police search at Oldham. For all we know, she could be a young girl who got the false info from some other person at the scene and panicked. Unlikely, but like with everything, it's just advisable to wait before throwing around judgements/allegations.
This is a foyer for the entire building rather than just the arena. Its outside, and anyone could get in.
Sorry but thats bollocks. Management and officials across city center know its no secret, manchester has been on sever terrorist alert for about 5 years now. Security is tight. Whether or not people were being checked tonight is a different subject, but the foyer where this bomb went off is a public space, not the arena. Fake news and all that.
Just woke up to this. Absolutely sickening. No messages from family and friends yet.
The 'discussions' are useless...the transfer rumor thread is more fruitful.
- all Muslims are evil
- small minority are evil
- their faith is violent
- Islam isn't violent
- immigration is to blame
- western meddling in muslim countries is to blame
- Muslims need to do more
- Muslims are the most common target of Muslim terrorists
- where are the moderate Muslims
- no such thing as moderate Muslims and ISIS are following the Quran to the letter
That's it. That's what gets 'discussed' everytime a islamist attacks or kills innocents by all 'sides'.
I have no problem with people raging, venting and lashing out...I actually think it's more useful than 'frank and unafraid discussions'.

Edit: didn't mean to embed that tweet. I want only to link it.
Loads of fakes as well. Sick fecking people. Anything for a like or mention.
There is loads of CCTV.
This is so sickening.
I fear those casuality figures will only get higher.
That tends to be how the news drips through on these stories.
Heartening to see the support being offered on twitter within the city.

I'm not usually a paranoid man, but the Champions League final next month in Cardiff is kinda scaring me, clearly this shit is doing its job...
So sorry for the families of the 19 who have been taken away from them, and also the people there who will carry this with them for life, no one deserves to experience this, it's a fecked up world unfortunately.
RIP.
I will of course defer to those with local knowledge, as i have none of the arena myself (only OT and Bridgewater Hall).
I dont know what to say . Rip to all these angels. I'm sorry guys. I hope every cafite is safe and well. Strength and love to all manchester.
No worries bud.
Was the same fear before Euro 2016 in France. Don't give in to it.
Blowing up a teenybopper concert is a new low. No doubt it was viewed as a low security risk.
No child should go to a concert and not come home. Not going to lie all these attacks put me off going to big public events. Always some fecking clown with an ideology that wants to fecking kill people. Such horrible news for the families, can't even imagine saying goodbye to a Son, Daughter or friend and not seeing them return.
Strangest form of narcissism I've come across!
It's sad but, even though Manchester is my home too, it's not affecting me as much as someone who's lived their entire life in said city should. I guess the fact that these acts of violence happen so often has kind of numbed me to the shock. Of course, the fact that there's been 19 (I believe) casualties is sickening and my condolences go to the families.
Hope you get news soon mate.
I've had texts to say people are okay. Jeez I'm fed up of these brainwashed evil losers.
maybe they chose this date as it's the Lee Rigby anniversary
My daughter has tickets to a big concert next month. No fecking way is she going. Ill buy the tickets from her.
And R.I.P. to the lives lost in this. Senseless violence!
Yeah good post. You're probably right, but fruitless or not, I think he makes a decent point about at least being frank. Even if it's a pointless debate.
@Man of Steel - cheers man.
People posting fake missing photos for likes as you wrote on your post?
Wigan A&E put on alert.
