Bannofan Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Those weren't protestors that broke in the stadium and messed the pitch up, nicking corner flags..they were just anti social , boozed and coked up idiots . Not sure what the hell Man Utd security were doing, not paying or requesting a police presence today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I am not sure what this will actually achieve. It will be chip paper in a fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you get some idiots who go too far, but the message and reason behind the protest is a valid one imo. Souness going on about some idiot lobbing a flare etc. The same peace loving bloke who stuck a Galatasary flag in the middle of the Fenerbache pitch? Loves a bit of incitement does old Souey.

Did you manage to give out any Covid jabs while you were at it? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you’d get the exact reaction doing it on a non match day. Imagine if thousands of Man Utd fans charged the ground on a random Monday morning, it would be news out of nowhere and hit home harder No, it really wouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please accept my apologies, I just saw some youths with cans in their hands stumbling around the Old Trafford pitch, and made a ridiculous assumption. On second thoughts I'm sure they were dedicated Manchester United fans simply wanting to make a peaceful protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Tbf, the whole nation would be delighted if a protest could get Spuds v Dem Blades called off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The authorities should be relieved that crowds aren’t currently allowed into stadia. That could have been very messy inside & out with 75,000 attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The right to protest , be it stationary or on a march, is extremely important in a democracy. I absolutely hate it when the right wing clowns on here talk about ' scruffy students' & ' the unwashed ' ..as if they are the only people who attend these things. I'm also frustrated with the hanger ons on these occasions, those who simply go to cause trouble and destroy property, or to attack the emergency services. The pitch invaders with cans in their hands have given idiotic dinasaurs lije Graham Souness a reason to be dismissive of a serious issue, and to ignore the vocal but largely peaceful protestors outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think they had torched the stadium to the ground. I doubt billionaires 3,000 miles away will take much notice of people just standing outside. You have to make things uncomfortable for them. If that protest today went too far in your opinion then fans in this country are screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Little confused by the ‘Gazprom in’ line here. Almost as if a bigger financial backer, however dubious, would be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
