Is this a bit? The players know they are not the target or in any danger.
Apparently a decoy bus.
How’s it scary hahaha
Yeah that's definitely the best case scenario to me.
Are you vouching for everyone in that crowd?
I don't know but the poster I replied to keeps banging on about a mob of thousands forcing people off a bus and scaring them which hasn't happened at all
Is it Laura Kuenssberg?I don't know but the poster I replied to keeps banging on about a mob of thousands forcing people off a bus and scaring them which hasn't happened at all
Calm down there, Thatcher.
The players aren't targeted obviously but in a hostile environment like a large protest (which is fine), sometimes it doesn't take a lot for things to escalate, escalate to a point where I'd be worried if I was a rival player surrounded by this group. The tweet seems like it was exaggerating anyway, which was what I was against.
Sky news are useless.
Only reporting now that the bus which was stopped and claiming the team were on it.

Side by side coverage of the protest with the Villa game on NBC here in the States.
Ole's slashed your wheel
How does it feel

Yeah the tweet seems to have exaggerated it anyway. My point was I disagree with fans stopping the opposition team bus and deflating the tires, like it made it sound at first. Didn't happen so different story. But my point was that it's a fine line and it doesn't take much for things to escalate in these types of environments.
It's not their fault obviously. But if our players our at the Stadium it's a hard argument.
They'll make it anyway so it's all moot.
Last time it was the club's own fault for underpreparing for.
I'm with the protesters though. Within their rights to disrupt (within the law) until we are heard. Glazers are scum plain and simple.
Can't believe that people who are supporting protests do appreciate the way it's being handled by the fans.
They're doing this against the team, not the club.

That'll get them the views! No point saying otherwise, for now.
Think it was different as last time I think it was just a protest that nobody expected becoming this big and nobody expected it to get go the point to cancel the game. This being done with the intention to cancel it makes a bit different and I wouldn't be surprised if we just get a loss or some point deduction if it doesn't go ahead, but anyway, as you say it should be fine.
If you disrupt the day-to-day operations of the club, you are disrupting the club. I agree that we need to get behind the team and support them but this is the biggest fixture of any football calendar. There's no better opportunity to get coverage of displeasure of the owners.
So are people hoping to get this postponed again?
I see Maude Flanders has joined the thread.
Is there anyway the Liverpool squad and staff travelled into the stadium with our team? That would have made the most sense to me.
You have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette buddy.
At what point does it become a law and order thing rather than something United are responsible for? We should be responsible for securing Old trafford and any private property around it that we own, we can't really prevent supporters with cars stopping a Liverpool bus in the middle of the city.
Our players all made their own way from home around lunchtime to avoid getting delayed apparently.
Remember, they decide when the club plays.
Don’t speak about things you clearly know nothing about. It was intended by plenty last time. Obviously not everyone at the protest, but it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing. People went to that protest with the intention of stopping the game.
No me. I buy my eggs shelled.
Not unless they were in the backseats of the cars underneath a blanket.
Yeah still sounds like good craicI don't know but the poster I replied to keeps banging on about a mob of thousands forcing people off a bus and scaring them which hasn't happened at all
We have so many idiots and brainless thugs calling themselves United fans. If it carries on then United should be made to either play away from Old Trafford all season or play in empty stadiums even when fans are allowed back.
Its just embarrassing
Its just embarrassing
They really couldn't care less all the idiots protesting are doing is hurting the players
What a brilliant turn out for a midweek. Well done to all involved
Nonsense.
A minority maybe. The vast majority simply care and where probably apart of the 2005 protests and 2010.
People here pretending there is little reason for this are naïve.
Be a great result against the glazers, fingers crossed.
What are you talking about? I mean the club/officials didn't think it was going to be anything more than a protest like what happened at other clubs. The Premier League didn't expect it to escalate to the point where the match is stopped. Now at least they know the intention is to stop the match, which is much different and why there would likely be an actual punishment now.
You seriously think the club couldn't care less about it?
I disagree, the owners will be uneasy from these sorts of demonstrations. They're losing sponsors right now, and things like this aren't going to help their cause.
So negative.
What if the end result of these protests finally rid us of the leeches running our club?
