Manchester United

Sky asking former LFC players about whether they'd feel safe getting to the ground as an away side

irony alarms have just gone off on the new NASA rover on mars

If all they've done is ran onto the pitch, I'd be amazed if there were any consequences for anyone.

Forgive me as I know little about UK law but is it not literally trespassing? Breaking/entering?

technically it is a specific offence, but given how many there were and the circumstances they'll probably never charge anyone

TBF the united fans have picked the right moment to do this, against Liverpool with the world watching

I thought the Chelsea fans got a good turnout and disrupted their game resulting in Chelsea pulling out of Franchise Ball.

This United protest has been well organised and thought through.

Not a fan of either club or their fans, not by a long chalk, but credit to them for taking this on.

Yes full respect to them.
They want the owners out for what they tried to do, just when everyone thought this ESL was starting to get brushed under the carpet. Wallop!!

Sourness was ill informed in saying that Old Trafford has had money spent on the stadium that is complete rubbish , again he says they have spent money , money but not their money , they have put United in debt and took 1 billion out of the club , he is simply talking garbage and lies

It's interesting to me, at least, that Sky seem to have been consistently slow to pick up on the outrage that most fans feel about Franchise Ball.

I think they wanted the genie back in the bottle, get the new tv deal done on a (possibly) reduced number and move on from it.

I like the fact that United have rubbed sky's noses in the anger once again.

But I thought all the money United spent was money they had earned?
That's what everyone has been told for years.

 

[Seathestars]

No doubt the German Shipman with throw his hat Into the ring with stories of woe and how his team were terrified by fans misbehaving outside the stadium, fire crackers and all

All this without a hint of irony after he encouraged his own fans to welcome coaches.

 

[Zatara]

Captain of Captains "Hendo" seems to have written the script for Souness today.

Only club of the 6 who didnt protest

 

[tsubaki]

lol @ that Sky gimp claiming they had to clear up bottles etc to make it safe

Are you still at it Bitterness i think you well know the glazers have shafted United , as regards protest why are you crying about it , it was only 25 years ago when your guvnors mob threatened both swales and Francis Lee , but because that was ok i guess

Don't worry, the situation is being reviewed:
