OT EVACUATED | Device signed as having been recovered, could NOT be detected by sniffer dogs

If a 0-0 gets us back to 5th, then yeah probably easier all round to do that rather than play it in a couple of weeks.
Somehow I don't think West Ham or Southampton will agree with that. And I wouldn't blame them
 
Wonder why they wouldn't go to more effort to hide it if it's that obvious (a pipe attached to a mobile phone with wires hanging out)? Unless it was supposed to be picked up by someone and moved further in, or ditched in a rush.
I take it there's no cameras in the toilets but is there some outside? There should be both.
How do you know it wasn't hidden?
 
Just got home. Was sitting in the north west quadrant. Absolutely mental, definitely felt nervous for a while!

Good to hear you're safe. I sit there too, but didn't make it inside. Still hoping reports are bollocks and it's a (relatively) false alarm.
 
I would be very surprised if they didn't push for it to be played this week

When does the international squads meet up for the euros?
 
British Police are the best in the world, in my (admittedly limited) experience. The French, Germans and Yanks have equally well trained forces, but the Brits do it without resorting to bullying tactics every two minutes.

I studied in UK and i must admitt each encounter with police there was ok... i remeber coming back home pissed big time. They stopped asked if i needed any asstiance ...i refused as home was.just.around the corner. In Poland i would get finned.
 
Hope this just turns out to be something completely obscure , in that someone for some reason taped a phone to the pipes , maybe for a joke or something to wind up a mate

It'll be after the CL final so there's still a couple of weeks yet.

You deserve a slap from The Big Show if that's your idea of a wind-up
 
Unfortunately not...its been all too real for a number of years now.

Anyone concerned about Wembley?

Its been years since I've been to Wembley but I'm pretty sure they have proper metal detectors and the such don't though?

Good to see you're safe. On TV, everybody looked very calm.
 
Gas pipes arent exactly on show in a toilet. They're normally hidden in the ceiling.
If it's an actual attempt at killing people, which currently I find doubtful (thankfully), then it's an incredibly intricate attempt. How do they know there are gas pipes there? Really strange.
 
Unless the Manchester police has their own bomb squad, they would be military that is referred to. Alternately, the military will just be there to help block off the area or similar.

Could it be that they apprehended the suspect at the same time? and they want the pro to handle it? Military on an empty stadium is abit weird. What's the SOP on calling military on this case?

Glad you're OK fella … hope it turns out to be nothing because in this Nanny State the ramifications could be horrifying. As someone who has travelled into Central London on the Underground, daily, since around the time of the IRA Horseguards Parade and Wimpy rubbish bins bombs went off I can tell you one thing! Don't let the feckers win!
 
Saying two explosive devices now :(

Nah. Security will be a 100 times tighter now.

I think the only way it will affect the final is that the fans will probably have to turn up earlier as it may take longer to enter the stadium with checks and searches etc.

Most likely it's the bomb squad that is referred to as military.

If not, then they'll be helping the police outside to keep order.

Nothing to read into.

Yeah, I'm really hoping this is some kind of hoax designed to improve security or something. Long shot though.
