Protest planned ahead of the Liverpool game

We want rid of the glazers is a pretty straightforward message. Individuals acting the bolox or otherwise wont change the message
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.
 
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.
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.
 
Mentioned/shown on Sky now. Hoping they show and discuss more as they closer

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. Everyone is in agreement

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.
 
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.

Most protest movements need a militant arm to get action taken though. We can’t really force the owners to sell but we can make them unwelcome and make them wonder if it’s worth the hassle.

Certainly it wouldn’t do any harm to have the Glazers personally hassled on a daily basis.

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.

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.
 
We don’t care about the protest what we really want is the camera rotating 360 degrees around Neville and Carragher :lol:
 


As I said, mob mentality and drunk football fans don't mix.
