Who's equating what now? Is Diddums sad the game got postponed and ruined his Sunday?
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
At least he didn't gob on them this year.
It's used to criminal to be a homosexual.
The law isnt always right. And following some laws In some situations isnt always the right thing to do.
It's a question of morality more than anything else trespassing into old Trafford and onto the pitch and the few bits of minor vandalism are all criminal acts, but have they hurt anyone? No,have they got the point across? Yes,Got exposure for the protest? yes, is the protest fair and just? Yes. Then morally it's all good and really that's all that matters.
The law and morality dont always go hand In hand.
Of course, but I was reflecting upon the use of civil disobedience as a tactic. Many protests have broken the law, but they haven't always been violent.
Also, what is the expectation here? That they sell the club, to whom? Give up the rights to control the club to the fans? What is the proposed solution?
I understand in principle we would be better off with owners who aren’t focused on milking the club but it doesn’t really seem like we have that option now. There’s no group/person who has been proposing to buy us out anyway. I’d definitely not want us to be owned by Saudis.

I'm just pissed off the game is delayed, negotiated with the wife earlier to leave me in peace for a couple of hours while I drink a few and don't have to listen to the kids.
Feck sake.
Feck sake.
NBC coverage showing some handbags breaking out / that had broken out between protestors and police outside the stadium.
This looks like good intentions ruined by drunk idiots. They're only really punishing the players and coaches this way, plus the global fan base if we get a point deduction. Football fans being football fans.
Peter Schmeichel is a member of MUST? He is just talking on German Sky.
Souness says this because he's thinking in terms of United being a top six club. We are the most famous club in the world, and traditionally have been the richest club in Britain, and some years the world.
The ground is falling into disrepair, and we embarrass ourselves every year trying to sign players below the selling value. It is the world's biggest club owned by people who cannot afford to own it.
Why would you have to negotiate that?
Thinking of you x
Davros scored, btw. Set up by Jake.
pathetic. You have no clue how any of your rights were achieved.
Great post. Some people just don’t get it.
fecking Glazers man!
Looks like the protesters are being disbanded now, suspect the game will go ahead
It is having the desired impact

The whole club, including the owners, players and staff are impacted.
Also, the Glaziers were in charge when every single player and coach signed their contracts at Man United. They're not the cause of the Glaziers actions but they're most certainly complicit and enable it.
match needs to finish by 9pm! If not I’m turning over to watch Line of Duty.
Well, they lost control pretty quickly it seems. Why would this make the Glazers even think about leaving?
Not sure what exactly what you're saying here, but the way you said they are 200 drunken idiots was abit unfair was it not?
That type of comment confirmed to me that you are talking out your arse.
Hope a delayed kick off won't mean a clash with Line of Duty
I sense we may get a clash with line of duty! I hope not can't we kick off at 6 or something
This has been a peaceful protest with the absolute minimum of damage done.
The idea its a bunch of drunken louts smashing property up is ludicrous. As far as peaceful protests go so far its been almost exemplary.

It will 100% go ahead
you’d think the relevant course of action would be a few games behind closed doors. No problemo.
Then what are you doing here
Get a new wife. Problem solved.
Sod's law mate. I dare say a few of us were looking forward to a double header with the Tottenham game too.
Probably a 18:30 kick off
They dispersed once already today then came back. They won’t play unless they can guarantee they won’t breach again.
Exactly, this all adds pressure on the government this is deeply important to the country. Rather than let it fizzle out after the SL was no threat anymore
Oh I'm so sorry that I dislike rioting and criminality like any normal person would.
Bit more than handbags
Hopefully it was just the Sky cameras that got wrecked. We've suffered through much worse from aggressive away fans lets be honest
ps does your wife know enough about football to know how long a game is?
If it starts at 6, you can legitimately say it's "still on" by 730
I keep seeing people bemoaning drunken louts, but I haven’t been watching much of the coverage… exaggerations then?
