[AliboyFC]

Big protest happening at Old Trafford. Somehow managed to get on the pitch.

Kick off at 4-30 delayed. Both teams still at their hotels. Possible postponement.

I think it will go ahead. The police are clearing away the fans at the moment.

Protesting at the wages their players are on?

Yes, they're really upset that the rest of the world calls them windows.

The problem is - who do they want to replace the Glazers?

There aren't many people with a spare £3 billion - and very few of those who do will not be ruthless businessmen who went to the same school as the Glazers.

Noone's going to buy the club then let the fans run it. They'll buy the club and expect a financial return - just like the Glazers do.

All football clubs should be wary of owners who buy the club as an investment - there's no way back.

And I hope Hibs haven't already gone too far down this road.

Any violence or vandalism is deplorable, but, as a United fan, I full support the protests, even breaking into the stadium, as a form of direct action. The United fans have tried protests at games etc, some even formed a new club, but the Glazers still hold them in such contempt that they thought they could get away with the breakaway Super League. What do you do when faced with that?

Let's remember Mercer and his proposed merger. All non-violent protest is morally justifiable, in my opinion. You don't just lie down and die. These parasitic owners are actively trying to kill the game, not just their own clubs, for their own enrichment.

Makes no sense.
The baw was burst as soon as loads of money came into the game in England.
That caused business men and investors to prick up their ears and they bought all the big clubs like the team formerly known as Manchester United.

All that can happen now is the Glazers sell to other blood suckers of a similar ilk so the protest is 20 years too late.
The fans were asleep at the wheel when all this started and now both they and the club they supported are just a massive big cash cow for their players, owners and investors to exploit to the max. Manchester United died a long time ago.

It does make sense. United fans have been stridently anti-Glazer for fifteen years, but what do the American billionaires care, provided they are making money? Some fans even set up FC United, others have campaigned tirelessly to get the Glazers out. Give us the solution then....

It's easy for you to pronounce the death of another club, but what would you do, if it was Hibs? What would you have been prepared to do to stop Wallace Mercer?

Supposing our new American owner was just like the Glazers, what would you do? He isn't a Hibs fan. Are Hibs now dead?

Match off.

Game has been postponed

Surely Liverpool will be awarded the points.

A price worth paying. I hope they get every home game abandoned until the Glazers are forced out.

Not sure I follow this logic. Firstly, there were widespread fan protests when the Glazers took over, the whole 'green and gold' thing.

Secondly, even for fans who didn't protest back then, so what? Are you saying you get one chance and that's it? You can't change your mind about whether protest is necessary, or have your mind changed by events? It's pretty obviously that the issues with the Glazers have been crystallised by the super league stuff. That's often how these things go - there's a long-running, low-level dissatisfaction, but it needs something more major to create critical mass for a protest.

If that had been a smaller clubs fans that stopped a game going ahead they’d award the away team a 3-0 victory.

[The Modfather]

I reckon it’s probably a dangerous precedent that’s been set today in getting the game called off. While I agree with what they’re protesting, I wonder if it will happen again when you look at situations like Hearts fans and Budge, or us under Petrie etc.

You're probably right.

I’m sure tomorrow’s back pages will lead with the headline:

“...Relatively peaceful protests at Old Trafford...”

Oh wait...

I think the difference between the others, and hibs is petrie didn't own hibs. 😉

Blackpool fans protesting against their owners at the time invaded the pitch at half time and refused to move back in 2015, game was abandoned and never replayed (was last game of the season). Points weren't awarded to Huddersfield and no real action taken against Blackpool.

The United Liverppol game will be played on a new date.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Sky, and Dave Jones are furious that these ex players aren't lambasting the "yobs" - the only one getting close to criticising the fans is Souness

Gary Neville is every football fan over this Super League nonsense
