Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
He's quoting the quote incase you don't see the quote.Why did you quote it again
Nah he’d probably have been distracted by the smell of cheese.
I'm such a shite gambler
Violence, property damage and injuring people is never right but come on man, massively inflating the impact of those idiots in those videos is pathetic. If you want to see something closer to the hyperbole being pushed just take a quick peek at the Mayday protests in Germany
Any point he's trying to make is diluted by how distasteful he's being in the circumstances.
It’s a historic rule, it prevented the teams being bought up like they have here.
Now even if the government implemented this legislation, fans specifically of the bigger clubs don’t have the billions needed to by 51% of a club. So implementing it retrospectively just isn’t possible
The vast, vast majority want the protests to be done in the right way. It's a matter of ensuring that happens: no violence or intimidation. The principle is correct, we need to ensure the methods match that.
Great then, you can start the anti merch protest
50%+1 vote. No ownership, just voting rights.
Im starting to think there are lots of fans in here who watch US Fox News and use that as their baseline.....
It won't. It's one of the downsides at every protest, you atract a small group of people who will go out and cause a bit of trouble.
You know why the alt-right hate "cancel culture"? Because it works. Letting advertisers know you're boycotting their products, withdrawing contribution of money directly from the product itself by not buying shirts or other merch. Don't buy tickets and attend the games. Using rivers to watch games instead of paying for sky and bt sports packages, and tell them exactly why you're cancelling.
When you see the Glazers selling off X amount of shares that don't have voting power, they can do that because of the financial status of the club.

no way. Even in Germany, many are calling for getting rid of this law. It made the Bundesliga lack of competition and quality compared to EPL and La Liga. We don't want EPL turning into something like Bayernliga right?
With any hope this is a 9pm kick off and past Dan James' bed time.
The first tweet was a full hour before this car harrasment started.
No one is condoning these idiots harrassing randomers after the protest.
Not skipping Line of Duty to watch our shite
That isn't good.
You triggered me for half a second there haha

Nasty, and the dickheads stopping cars on the roads nearby are annoying.
All that said my solidarity is with the majority of protesters who have been peaceful.
That's awful. Is he a steward, camera-man?
What is your point in making a reference to the nationality of the poster? Does that discredit their argument in any way you would like to share with us?
The guy has a point. Do you really think the Glazers are bricking it as a result of this protest thinking they've got to sell up now?

This game will be played to the letter of the law fella! the letter!
Since when has telling the truth been distasteful.
There was a well documented rave during the lockdown not long ago close to Bristol where the police claimed a large number of their officers were injured. Only for the so called large number of officers to be revised down to just the odd few.
I can tell you, you wouldn't get into Downing St without a tank or at least a bazooka - and there weren't meant to be any fans near the ground, given Covid - so there should have been a hint something was up
Security I think.
That's fecked up. I get the anger at the Glazers but common don't let it out on the poor security guy who is just doing his job.
Not good.
They love the club, they wouldn't do this!
I've heard that we shouldn't be talking about all the people who gathered there on the pitch as if they were idiots, because of one idiot doing something.
Well, one idiot with a corner flag, the other idiot with a tripod, some idiots throwing bottles at police, another idiot doing this to that guy.
That's a nice anti-Glazer protest, then!
Total support to everyone who went to the pitch.
Against modern football.
Against modern football.
Few things that warrant mentioning:
- It wasn't a camera, it was a tripod.
- It was a remarkably peaceful protest, considering the number of people involved and how emotive the subject is.
- The "private property" that was trespassed upon, was built for, and funded by, the same fans that entered it. The "owners" haven't stepped foot in the place in years.
- The Glazers will be gone one day, so will the manager and the players, Sky Sports, Chevrolet, Adidas and Nissan Noodles. The fans, their children and their grandchildren will still be there. We are the club - not them.
He was using his nationality to use an analogy that he could relate with. Nowt wrong with that.
Most likely none of this will work. The Glazers (like the other billionaire owners of English clubs), are in their ivory towers and probable laughing at the demostration. Demostrations are meaningless. Possibly the only thing that will work is if their gravy train is somehow negatively affected.
Maybe so. Let’s say the Capitol then
