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

What part of 'employee' do you not comprehend? It makes no difference if it's a separate company or Old Trafford staff. If we chose to employ them to do our security, we're responsible for the fake bombs they leave laying around.
:lol: you clearly don't know what an employee is and yet you're trying to be condescending to him ffs
 
Great gesture by the club to refund everybody. 3m is no matter to be sniffed at. No doubt they feel as bad as anybody this has happened.
 
Ok.

My two shekels worth.

Someone fecked up and it all looks a bit daft for those concerned. Take it on the chin. What was the other alternative ? The worst ? Exactly .
Yep.
who's this complete bellend?
"Journalist" for the MEN. Wanted us to be fined for turning late to West Ham.
 
It's kind of funny to think they were training to find this exact bomb in this exact place and after their training it went unnoticed for 4 days.

They obviously didn't use "Allah Akbar!" during the training for genuine authenticity. :rolleyes:
 
Personally think a lot of positives can be taken from today.

The stewards and police had a genuine practice in how to deal with this type of situation, and I'd say they handled it very well.

Can't disagree with this. The two things must be separated. 1) How it got there and how it wasn't spotted, which is where something clearly went wrong. 2) The actions upon discovery which should and must be commended.
 
The only embarrassing thing is you lot trying to use this to push your fecking agendas :lol:
 
It's very worrying that something like this was allowed to happen.

At least we now know our security isn't up to scratch and it didn't taken a terrible tragedy to work it out.

On a lighter note I'd imagine attendance on Tuesday will be terrible which, if any more hints are needed, will show Woodward that the fans want Van Gaal out.
 
Easy mistake to make, IMO.

Yep and clubs will no doubt review how regularly and rigorously they sweep their stadiums between games.
 
So is your post.

Hardly. Late for Tottenham, didn't beat the crowds for West Ham and planted our own bomb.

The West Ham one is borderline but at the end of the day we should have arrived at 4pm the night before and slept in the dressing room to be safe.

It is true if you wish to be technical - employing a contractor has a different tax and liability status from employing an individual - but they're still employees in the broader sense of the term. And the employer is equally responsible for their actions. The big difference is that the club can sue the company for compensation.
 
On one hand you have to laugh at the Naked Gun level farce this has been and be grateful that it didn't turn out to be something sinister, but the fact it went unnoticed for 4 days is worrying.

Easy mistake to make, IMO.

:lol:
 
I think for once though this is an actual embarrassment. Somewhere, someone connected to this club has massively fecked up. It may not have been one of the names in the spotlight but it still makes us a laughing stock. We had to evacuate an entire stadium and postpone a game ffs.
 
You are right mate, there was a chance that supporters were in danger, and the game was postponed because of that. Correct decision, if a suspected bomb is found then there is no alternative but to call the game off. The safety of the people at the match is paramount and I am happy to see that is how it was treated by the club. No Embarrassment, a suspected bomb has to be taken seriously.

Don't think we had any choice in any of the above. From what I could tell, pretty much every move was being ordered by the police.

That planted our own bomb has just tickled me more than it should.
 
Depends where it was. Presumably if they were using it with sniffer dogs it wouldn't be in plain sight, though not completely hidden.

It was one of our fans that spotted it though right?

I think the sniffer dogs were there just to identify any other bombs that may have been in the area.
Knowing United theyll probably give the security firm another year because they dont want to be seen as a sacking club

:lol:
 
The reaction will be brilliant when we lose out on a player in the summer because we wouldn't pay an extra £3m.
I suspect a certain private security firm & their public liability insurers will be about £3m lighter, it won't be coming from the clubs budget.
