Protest at Old Trafford

[0le]

Anyone who doesn’t condone the fan protests in the midst of a global pandemic, causing the game to be delayed, possibly cancelled, criminal damage to occur, trespassing and embarrassing the club is a Glazer-supporting millennial wallflower snowflake armchair fan who has never set foot in Manchester.

Care to comment instead about why you generalised the actions of a minority to discuss all of the protestors?

 

[Raees]

Some on here Moaning and hoping the game doesn’t get called off - pathetic!!

This is what needs to happen.

Their Sunday roast has been ruined.

This just about sums this thread up in a nutshell.

Daniel James?

Didn't see anyone's shins get blasted.

Looks like Tony V's trademark leg twitch and turning circle to get onto his right foot.

 

[Cpt Negative]

They'll punish the fans for protesting in part following the ESL?

Makes no sense really.

Yes. That’s exactly what I think.

we all know it’s about money, theyll be hundreds of TV companies around not happy that this going won’t be going ahead at the scheduled time

 

[Sandikan]

Would love to know who let these fans in. Someone's clearly done a bit of an insider job here.

 

[Random Task]

Well people will go home

I don't think any of them plan to go home until the game has been officially cancelled - at least not willingly anyway.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Imagine we have to forfeit the game and Liverpool make a late run to get top 4.

If it is a deciding factor in putting the club up for sale, that would be an irrelevant detail.

Gazza has just turned up with a roast chicken and a fishing rod. Be over in no time.

 

[MrMarcello]

He’s got a nice waterfront house on the island. Surprised he’s not in Lutz behind a gate.

Just looked up his house on Harbor Island, it's gated. https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/joel-glazers-house/view/google/

There is always risk. You take a risk getting up in the morning, crossing the street... or sticking your face in a fan.

 

[VP89]

Also why are the protesting trying to stop the team bus leaving Lowry hotel, this ain't ideal preparation for our squad before such a big game.

For a lot of the fans protesting this is more than just the game or this season. Even next season for that matter. Its a matter of getting the identity of the club back.

This is a working man's club and some have reached an irreversible tolerance now where they will act on pure emotion to make themselves heard.

3 free points to Liverpool might help them get into the CL next season. They can always thank Uniteds fans later.

You are more concerned with Liverpool than the damage the Glazers have done to us.

 

[ReddBalls]

Glazers being discussed on the Norwegian broadcaster now. I'll take a guess that's what they're talking about on every other broadcaster in the world to explain why the game is delayed.

 

[sullydnl]

Can't get my head around those being so arsed about the game getting delayed/called off. Do you not understand this would be a huge win for Glazers out? It would hit them where it hurts.

One protest won't do anything. It needs to be sustained protests.

All getting the game cancelled will do is ensure that subsequent protests are undermined by much more negative coverage, opposition from within the fanbase and heavy anti-protest measures.

And the people who thought the suspension was a great statement and were criticising other fans for not being supportive of it will be the first to complain when their subsequent protests aren't effective and start petering out.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Let's hope the Premier League do the sensible thing and dock Liverpool points.

 

[ChrisNelson]

Are you for real?

In not wanting to see pictures broadcast around the world of our own fans breaking in to the stadium?

I’m amazed by the casual reaction of so many to this, if it had been any other team it would been widely condemned on here.

Peaceful outside the ground sure, but breaching OT and going on the pitch and attempting to get up the tunnel... if you think that’s acceptable I suggest a wobble or two of the head maybe in order.

Yes that's why I just said to postpone it! That's my point.

prawn sandwiches.

I was thinking sleeping gas, but prawn sandwiches would probably be the more diplomatic approach.

[Relevated]

Someone said van de beek is pissed because the fans have had more time on the Old Trafford pitch than he has.

 

[bdecuc]

We need to do this at the next home game. And the next. And the next.

I want Liverpool out of the CL. That is an important thing. I also want the Glazers out (more important) and have respect for protesting - but not the invasion of the pitch.

Harsh

 

[DomesticTadpole]

They have Keano's support and Carra and Red Nev's.

 

[Mindhunter]

I dont think you understand the whole point of protesting.
Convenience and being agreeable arent key components.

This is exactly why it is the right occasion. A lot of people attracted to that game, Sunday afternoon, Manchester.
This is the way to do the protest.

On the contrary, doing it against our biggest rivals is exactly when it should be on, maximum exposure.

Unless they can do this every week for the rest of the season and the season beyond this means nothing. Fair play to them if they can do it.

Else, the Glazer's won't even bat an eyelid. What this achieves is that the players get ruffled before an important match and fear for their safety.

Appropriate username for this post.

Great post.

It won't be postponed, will just be an evening kick off now.

 

[The Mitcher]

So people would rather Liverpool get the three points, damaging our league position in the vain hope that it leads to a Glazer sale. Stupidity.

 

[Red Royal]

It won't be postponed, will just be an evening kick off now.

Looks a bit calmer now. So yeah hopefully can go on.

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

Few individuals? There's several hundred clowns on our pitch judging by the photos. Get them off, arrest them for trespassing/vandalism, I don't care. Then kick-off. End this charade.

What chance do we have when our fans are talking like this? What would YOU do to protest against the Glazers? Nothing done for the past fifteen years has made them flinch.

 

[Drainy]

Legacy fans fighting back

 

[MrMarcello]

Good'un!

BREAKING NEWS: Donny van de Beek has requested a transfer citing, "Johnno from Stockport has seen more time on the pitch than me."

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Souness bringing up how much the lovely Glazers have given our managers to spend.

 

[Momochiru]

This is so dumb, it will achieve nothing - the Glazers don't care about protests. The only result will be to wipe out all the positivity around the team after Roma and put negative thoughts in Pogba's and Cavani's minds, so they won't extend.

The only way to force the Glazers out is to pressure the politicians to legislate 50+1, no other protest will be successful. These protesters should go to London and do this in front of the parliament, not Lowry...

 

[jderbyshire]

Souness talking bollocks.

EDIT: They were protesting in 2010 when we were "top dogs"

 

[charlenefan]

Souness talking net spend under the Glazers, talk about completely missing the point

 

[diarm]

I believe that tripod wasn't Glazers'.

It's vandalism, too.

No. It was Sky Sports - a major broadcast partner who are in a position to pressure the Glazers into selling. You want to laugh at and belittle efforts of fans as non effective, but you also want to criticise fans for targeting the very organisations who can be effective.

Easy to see who you're rooting for in all this.

 

[mu4c_20le]

This is so dumb, it will achieve nothing -

It already achieved something though. Everyones talking about it, including you.
