Had to read it twice… was a hard day in work
Hmm. The glass must have been glazed.

They mentioned it once about 20 minutes ago.Sky not showing anything about the protest yet (unless I missed it)
True, but as I said before, it's about appeal for other fans who want to join a protest too. The biggest and most successful protests are the ones where everyone is in agreement with what is being said and feels represented. Personally idk if it was just a few individuals or a large group regarding the "gonna die" chant but things like this can very literally drive people away from joining your protest, so I'm just saying it's best to be careful if you want to play your cards right. Call them scum, leeches, rats, focus on all the money they've removed from the club, the downward trend since they took over, and you'll find people who didn't even know about the protest might start joining in.We want rid of the glazers is a pretty straightforward message. Individuals acting the bolox or otherwise wont change the message
Guy from Manchester Evening News says it is huge and goes a long way back.
It is. Seeing Sky and MUTV (as expected) appear to ignoring it.What a turnout! Great stuff!
It's always like that. A minority have some bad chants and some tend to be violent. Most important thing is it doesn't spill over the majority.I wouldn't call it a failure, the point is to send out a message and the message is being heard. Just be careful of the message you send if you want to grow your protest base.
Still feel a GreenAndGoldCafe wouldn't be terrible for occasions like this
Agreed.I think if you have that many people protesting its clearly an issue for the club. The nature of the protest should be completely irrelevant.

Get real dude. No one who's been to a football match in their lives gives a solitary feck about a chant. Good luck finding a football supporter who thinks the glazers are good owners or the club wouldn't be better off without them.

You get unsavoury chants from every fanbase, a lot you hear during games on the TV, they never apologise about them, but if you hear the manager swear they do.Get real dude.

I guess I'm a sad loser based on this post, so I'll bite with a reply: If you are wanting advice on which chants to use for the next protest, my advice would start with "Avoid death threats, racism, xenophobia. Stick to the facts. Truths hurt more than insults."
There are so many ways you can have a protest without alienating people from your cause. You want people to join in, not walk away. If I were in Manchester and there were a Glazers Out protest going on, I'd probably consider joining in for sure because I agree with their cause. But if the chants went like this, I'd walk away. I'm not going to compromise my own principles for the sake of mob mentality.
It's really not a deriding of the reason you're protesting or the cause for which you fight. It's constructive criticism because we want the protest to do well.
Nah. Teams are already there and there won’t be pitch invasionsWil they get the match called off I wonder
They literally just talked about it?They're trying to hard to ignore it
Guy from Manchester Evening News says it is huge and goes a long way back.
Yeah Sky really glossing over it.They're trying to hard to ignore it
oh ffs. i’ve lost count of the times i’ve told him to stop tweeting about me.
Yeah, this is really true, which is why I emphasised that I don't know how many people were doing this. I fully back the protest itself, just not the chant.It's always like that. A minority have some bad chants and some tend to be violent. Most important thing is it doesn't spill over the majority.
I don't think anyone thinks they're good owners and that much you are correct in that we all agree on. That's why I think a protest will do better if it avoids this kinda thing. I'm all for the protest. Just not all for the chant. And for what it's worth, I don't agree with any football chant that calls for racism, xenophobia, homophobia, religious commentary, sexism - or death. Most people will suffer through it, I know I'm not going to walk out of a stadium because of a chant, but I won't join in and I won't march in a direction with them. It's just about broadening the appeal of a protest in the hope of making it an even bigger one. If that's not the intent, or if they think they will get more support going down this route, I will hold my hands up and say hey, I can only speak for my own opinion.Get real dude.

Sky are so pathetic
Nah, last year the players couldn't get to the ground and there was a covid breach. This year even if they swarm the pitch they'll just delay kick offWil they get the match called off I wonder
oh ffs. i’ve lost count of the times i’ve told him to stop tweeting about me.
Yeah Sky really glossing over it.
oh ffs. i’ve lost count of the times i’ve told him to stop tweeting about me.
That’s a given any day of the weekSky are so pathetic
Diddums
oh ffs. i’ve lost count of the times i’ve told him to stop tweeting about me.
There are a lot of Glazer bots here.
My advice to Reds is to put them on ignore.
