think there was reports that cameras have been damaged, shouldnt stop the game going ahead as dont need cameras to play football but Im sure Sky will throw their toys out of the pram to have it postponed.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Protest has to be disruptive. Learn some history before claiming idiocy for any posts other than your own.
Missing the point completely.Yeah I'm sure the Glazer's are quaking in their boots and will sell the club straight away tomorrow
No. We’re just adults who realise it will split the fanbase, destroy media goodwill, ruin political momentum once the inevitable stories of property damage/violence get publicised, be detrimental to the players and will force Ole to condemn the protests - dividing fans even more. It’s now no longer an anti-glazer and pro reform in football message which everyone would unite behind - it’s now anti-glazer AND anti-team. And it happens every fecking time. Rinse. Repeat. The media will come out strongly against it and the glazers will rub their cocks in glee.
I hope it gets delayed by about an hour. The misses pulled a blinder and booked us into our first post-lockdown pub meal at 4 without consulting me. So if some of you could nip down there and drag this out for a bit longer that would be great, thanks.
If this was a one off protest then fine, the impact on the game wouldn't matter and the disruption of a cancelled game could be justified.
If this is going to be the first part of a sustained wave of protests though (which is what is needed to have any impact on the Glazers) then the match being cancelled will immediately see support for the protesters start being sapped, which is self-defeating.
The best outcome here is for the game to go ahead and for subsequent protests to occur with large support from the broader fanbase.

Get Delia out there with 'Let's be havin you'.
- Nobody is hurt
- No significant damage to any property
- It’s all over the news who have interrupted their regular scheduling to show this.
job done if you ask me.
Yeah there’s a few knobs there smirking with cameras out etc but you get knobs during all protests. Saw it in the summer, saw it at the Everard vigil.

liverpool fans that have infiltrated the protests to give united a bad name. just like the democratic protesters at capitol hill.
Horses on scene now.
Police gone to get there’s now!

Totally agree.
So many gimps in here
It’s no wonder governments and big companies can walk all over people constantly
Could this crowd not have considered typing "Glazers out" online for 16 years instead?
Well done to the protesters. Let's have more of this.
What message has this put across exactly?
Who is protesting the team or the players?
The fans are the club. Managers, players, owners, broadcasters come and go and they all get paid by us and our support of the club. We paid for the stadium, we pay for the corner flags, we pay for the cameras - if we want to protest the pricks who stole our club then we can and should. This idea that we should be quiet and meek in case we upset the players is ridiculous - how are they in any way more of the club than we are? This has nothing to do with them and I'd imagine every one of them knows that.
I'm on my way!
Will someone tell me how is this protesting against Glazer and not embarrassing our club?
Hopefully it's peaceful and their voices are heard. Is there any plans for a 'march' or something in Manchester? Maybe thousands of people doing that would be a good, loud voice for change?
Who knows...I hope everyone is safe today.

Crisis actors.
I understand the protest but why today? If you're a United supporter, why you'd want to give your biggest rivals free points when they are so close to missing out on the CL. Could have done against Fulham if it's really necessary.
Why are they throwing garbage and litter on the pitch? That's in poor form.
Class. Well done all involved.
Why are fans arguing amongst themselves? Blame the Glazers!
I see vandalism on the pitch of the stadium they love, you see protesting against the owners.
Okay then.
You keep telling me to learn some history.
Like this is going to be a Rosa Parks moment.
Calm down.
Who cares. Top 4 is pretty much secure. Bigger fish to fry than one fixture.
Got a tenner on Davros for first goal
Making the pigeons gay with their fares.
You are more worried about hurting Liverpool than the damage the Glazers have done during their ownership........
Big game means more attention I suppose. Though the social media boycott this weekend hinders that somewhat.
If the game gets called off it's a hell of a statement
Can't believe they're been slated. At least they're having a go. They've done a great job and made a statement... But but the Glazers won't care blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Davros must start upfront more regularly ?
Vs Liverpool is a much bigger stage than vs Fulham.
I guess the fans doing this think it's more important than whatever happens to Liverpool.
Well said
Good stuff, you'll always get a few idiots go too far because they are there for their moment in the sun rather than for genuine reasons.
Few real try-hards in this thread though. @red4ever 79 taking the mantle pathetically trying to shame any United fan who lives within 1,000 miles and isn't there give it a rest fella!
