Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
It has nothing to do with not being a real supporter or from Manchester or whatever, it has to do with having a completely shit opinion.
Obviously you can think what you want, but it makes you look completely out of touch with how much damage they have done to the club and will continue to do unless drastic aciton like this is taken.
Will it work? No idea, but it's sure as feck worth a try.
Are people still going to condone this now? It's gotten well out of hand.
Jesus man, your principles could not be any more wrongly placed.
Where does the Sky money come from do you think?
I do know breaking in is a crime - peaceful civil disobedience sometimes requires breaking the law. You do know that, right? You've heard of things like the civil rights protests in America, the suffragettes here and the anti-apartheid protests in South Africa? I'm not saying this is anything like as important, but civil disobedience does sometimes mean breaking the law.
If the game is cancelled it doesn't matter looking at the bigger picture. Get the cnuts at the helm out. If you are worried about corner flags, etc. - the fans aren't hurting anyone, if they want to show their anger on the pitch, so be it.
Good, then we keep doing it.
This club means more to us than it does to them. As soon as its not profitable, they'll run off with their tails between their legs.
Introduce money to anything and the vultures will come to skim off the top. Same with this country to be honest, but not wanting to get into that.

For this to have any real effect, fans have to do this for each and every home match for a consistent period of time to sustain momentum – all the while fending off the elements who would undermine the message with violence and vandalism.
He must have felt a bit vulnerable stood there on the sidelines with 100s of United fans rampaging around.
Mostly peaceful, but it only takes the odd 1-2 nutjobs doing something silly. Like the camera smasher.
Too far.Mother of God.
Peaceful protest!
Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, they've gone too far.
Hope a delayed kick off won't mean a clash with Line of Duty
So drunken louts destroying property is the answer??
Exactly I seriously doubt the Glazers saw this or watch any match to be honest.
It's just brainless thuggery that achieved nothing
Breaking in is now a peaceful crime? Good lord
And trying to compare it to Apartheid? False equivalence doesn't even begin to describe how bad your argument is.
Pretty much this. This has been going on for many many years.
This. As soon as Gary came on i was hoping he would rinse him. Souness was a disgrace there
Imagine equating human rights with football supporting rights.
Jesus.
This is the understatement of the century.
Unfortunately the only ones getting affected by such an act though is the team and management staff who are blameless in the glazers actions
Proud to be a Red today, great work everyone at the protest. Emotional watching some of that footage.
Roy’s right we’re footballing people we want to watch the game, it doesn’t take anything away from you as a supporter...
I know it's a different era, but if United lose points, or were even relegated, the support wouldn't wane imo - mainly because of the manner of mid table/relegation - it wouldn't be down to poor football but to fan passion.
To be honest, I expected a lot worse. Thankfully the couple people lunging at security and smashing cameras up, seem to have been a couple only. The organisers on this have to insist on this being doing peacefully.
Good on you for being a real supporter.
Hard to be critical of them to be fair, you’ve put up with these owners for a long time now... doubt the game will go ahead now, hopefully it’s rescheduled because I wouldn’t want three points this way.
Feels like a monumental season in fans getting their game back, the actual football has felt like a secondary thing for a bit now.

It's why it's annoying Sourness has been very ignorant and can't understand that the money we spend each year is club money not Glazer money.
Has anyone got a link to a video of the comments Souness has made?
Not the point. If the Glazers ignore, fine. But the Government have the power to change the law so ownership structures of clubs change to ensure fans have the ultimate say in the boardroom ensuring they are consulted and moves like their attempt to form a European Super League with others doesnt happen.
If the Glazers wont listen the authorities in this country will.
The Glazers only apologised because the Liverpool owners did. And their fake 'we want to communicate' is just that. Fake.
Clubs have to be protected from abusive owners.
Has it?
"Most of the capital used by Glazer to purchase Manchester United came in the form of loans, the majority of which were secured against the club's assets, incurring interest payments of over £60 million per annum"
That's well out of hand.
Agree with this. I just think going too far today will hinder the sustainability of and support for the protests. And they do need to be sustained.
I remember when we were relegated in the 70s, that season in Div 2 back then was epic, the stadium was full every home game.
He's not even in the starting line up. Your best bet is that the match is abandoned and you get your money back.
I wonder if the fa would dock us points or if they'd join us against the glazers
If one is not being violent, of course it's a form of peaceful protest. Blocking traffic for an environmental protest is against the law, but it's peaceful. Not all acts of breaking the law are violent.Breaking in is now a peaceful crime? Good lord
And trying to compare it to Apartheid? False equivalence doesn't even begin to describe how bad your argument is.
And I went out of my way to say I'm not comparing these protests to those, but the principle of civil disobedience stands. Don't twist my words, as I was explicit in that.
Yes. It was peaceful. Good protest as Carragher and Neville are saying.
Sorry what exactly has offended you in those images? Horses?
