Keano's going in now.
You can see Gary getting excited.

A protest is about sending a message and, inevitably, some people will be pissed off by it in some way.
With this in mind, it's been very successful. What are the fans meant to do instead? Send a few nasty tweets, a couple of rounds of Kumbaya, and refuse to buy the Official Man Utd Lunch Box? As long as nobody is hurt and it doesn't turn into a full blown riot, which doesn't look to be the case here.
People are throwing stuff at journalists and police now, bottles, flares and seats from what I understand.What violence?? Sure a corner flag was attacked but...
Agreed. I would go the full boycott route: tickets, merchandise, sponsors, TV broadcasters; but I know many wouldn't be prepared to do it.A protest is about sending a message and, inevitably, some people will be pissed off by it in some way.

Stupid soccer fans..burning down Manchesterland. Bet they are all antifa as well. (No not the blazers, the ones in hoodies).
OK mate. I believe you, it’s great to have a totally unbiased source on the forum. One that knows that ambulances are generally on the scene for not very good things, no less.

Guilty!This thread makes it agonizingly clear who's been to protests and demonstrations and who hasn't.

Its only the clubs and official football bodies
I'm just pissed off the game is delayed, negotiated with the wife earlier to leave me in peace for a couple of hours while I drink a few and don't have to listen to the kids.
Feck sake.
Peacefully protest, sure, but no criminal behaviour like today. But that won't help if the same protesters take their seats at the Stretford End.
Prolly longer than that. NBC says the team bus haven't left the Lowry yet. Typically team arrives a couple hours prior.The game should start in one hour.
Ugh Sky are making Gary recant.
Are you related to the glazers?What a ridiculous post. These twerps on the pitch are literally breaking the law, looking like a bunch of sheep whilst at it. Leaders? Wow, none of these are leaders of anything. They are just irrational deadbeats with nothing to lose, except the ability to go to the stadium after receiving their lifetime bans tomorrow. We’ll see if it was worth it then.
I doubt it's antifa, they are a bunch of middle class idiots. They wouldn't want to be seen with plebs.Stupid soccer fans..burning down Manchesterland. Bet they are all antifa as well. (No not the blazers, the ones in hoodies).

Yes, something has to be done beyond complaining on the internet. These people have my support.Completely agree.
What, more people getting hurt so we can enjoy our football more in the long run?Feel sorry for the guys whose evening has been spoilt by these pointless protests.
Let's hope it happens next home game as well!
What you on about? It's not about being biased. I've got friends there today on both sides of that.
Not the time for your point scoring. Not in the mood.
For sure! Hoping we don't let them off the hook now, feels like this is the closest we have got to getting rid of the feckers.God forbid one game gets postponed. In reality it is a minor inconvenience, and it has made a huge noise.
One of the injured cops was shown on camera by NBC’s coverage. Large gash down his face.Were they? Source?
