What has silent protest achieved?
Nah feck that, some of us just want to watch a game of football...
We will have to disagree on this. I absolutely believe that, when other options have had no effect, non-violent protest, even if illegal, can be morally justifiable. The break in is a manifestation of the utter frustration within the support. Anyway, it's our club and our property; I don't care what the Glazers say.
Dave Jones is another idiot. Apparently the fans were "storming" the pitch. Oh, won't you think of the poor groundsmen?
An excellent post
A top 4 race for both these heavyweight clubs is really a bit of an anti climax when we're at 20-19 titles, let's be honest.
It should be much more than that.
The game should start in one hour.
This is more important than you wanting to watch football.
Barry McChuckle ,54, fatally rounded after slipping on a Kebab. A official Manchester United tomato sauce sachet has been brought in for questioning.
The moral victory of this protest could well depend on if it was a camera, or just a tripod. Shit just got real
Maybe give it a couple of weeks before we decide if that’s true or not.
The stewards clearly allowed them in, and the same at carrington last week. So, the club’s employees agree with the protests.
I am in Alabama so let me know when you are good to go
This thread makes it agonizingly clear who's been to protests and demonstrations and who hasn't.
Imagine how it will be when they let us fans back in the stadium.
Why?
This is just like when they say you should move abroad just because you don’t agree with the government. Why can’t you accept that there are other fans with different opinions and they have all the right to support the same club.
Feel sorry for the guys whose evening has been spoilt by these pointless protests.
Let's hope it happens next home game as well!

Collymore giving no fecks about the twitter boycott
As a fan group, we should double down on the pundits and journos slating this protest and go after them on social media. (NO ABUSE PLEASE).
They need to be called out and told that protests have a purpose. The only 'ideal' / 'peaceful' form of protest which was remotely successful in history to my knowledge is the satyagraha movement by Gandhi. Even there, there is so much literature which says that the protests had not much to do with it but more the realisation that it costs too much to maintain control in a country as big is India.

Nothing on social media. Might hear more about it later but i wouldnt be surprised if a policeman fell off a horse.
I know it's true.
That must have taken some heavy persuasion.
A protest is about sending a message and, inevitably, some people will be pissed off by it in some way.
With this in mind, it's been very successful. What are the fans meant to do instead? Send a few nasty tweets, a couple of rounds of Kumbaya, and refuse to buy the Official Man Utd Lunch Box? As long as nobody is hurt and it doesn't turn into a full blown riot, which doesn't look to be the case here.

feck off it was a couple of flares. Have you ever watched any big game anywhere else in Europe or South America.
They are breathtakingly wimpy. If we shook the gate to Joel’s house, we could get a reaction from them.
Or shot by cops.
What violence?? Sure a corner flag was attacked but...
How is a football club in anyway lime hong kong or myanmar? The state of posters like you.
God forbid one game gets postponed. In reality it is a minor inconvenience, and it has made a huge noise.
Did you forget to change account?“We decide when you play.”
I hope the snobs who arrogantly guffawed at this last week are enjoying this now.
Its only the clubs and official football bodies
Most journos are doing it too.
OK mate. I believe you, it’s great to have a totally unbiased source on the forum. One that knows that ambulances are generally on the scene for not very good things, no less.
Keano's going in now.
You can see Gary getting excited.

Stop buying shit. Since thats the only thing the glazers understand, thats the only thing thats going to work. This has done feck all towards the goal of getting the Glazers out. Successful? Dont make me laugh.
