Glad everyone got out safe and sound, no one deserves to go to a match and not come home. I say that as a Liverpool fan.

Don't even see how the team you support is relevant to this.

Yes, I don't think one would need you qualify this
You would have to be a psychopath to think otherwise

Anyway correct decision I'm sure match will be rearranged

Wasn't the threat level raised just this week or last due to credible intelligence that an attack from NI dissidents was 'likley'... ?

Well there is a Brexit vote soon isnt there ?

Think about it a bit longer

Anyone even making the slightest insinuation that United are at fault here need to go take a long hard look at themselves.

I presume the game has to be played at some point. Would that be tomorrow?

A day less prep for us going into a cup final.

Liverpool fans have the monopoly on wishing that other team fans stay safe?

Being glad that nobody was hurt in the stadium is supposed to be more meaningful coming from a Liverpool fan? No, it's not relevant.

Try going to a River Plate Vs Boca Juniors match.

Has Kay Burley arrived at the stadium yet? You know sh*t is going down when she leaves the studio.

RobertKK

Players still in the dressing rooms.

Must bring back bad memories for Martial.

What the?

Some people would need to take a step back.

Swansea 1-1 City.

Francie Barrett

Suspect package, has Giggs been on the prowl around other people's wives? :pac:

Seriously, glad everyone is out safe.

I never said game should go ahead. 100% agree with fact its not going ahead, safety first. It could never have been played.
I just stated it gives them an advantage.

If City lose then there is hope, and everyone of those 11 that line up to take on Bournemouth can't argue that a win puts them in CL.
I'm not sure the 11 that would of played today believed a win puts them in CL. But if it becomes a '' fact'' that indeed it does, then the motivation is ten times bigger , the belief is 10 times bigger, because its a fact, a win = CL football . They can also prepare longer for game.
These are facts, I dunno how anyone can argue with it .

Weird how people have a go at me for wishing everyone was safe.

I mentioned that as a fan of a club who fans went to support their team one day and didn't come back.

What is the likelihood of this being played tomorrow behind closed doors? It would seem a sensible option.

Jayop

Anywhere else it would be hard to believe some of the comments but sadly on boards it's really not.

Pathetic posting by a few who the place would be better without.


Anyway, I really hope that it's not those dissident bellends given the alert readiness was raised during the week. Don't think I've ever heard of Republicans using a mobile phone bomb before

Strumms

Can't see why it couldn't be played tomorrow once the ground is declared safe and the device is confirmed as either a hoax, viable or maybe just some rubbish with a wire or two...

If that's how they think, no

Decisions like this are not taken lightly. The police thought it was a credible threat. Plain and simple.
Talk of utd gaining advantage or any other such nonsense is exactly that, nonsense.
Only 1 poster has stirred the shít and it should come as no surprise who it is.
When this kind of thing happens, safety is quite rightly the main concern. It apparently was a safe and orderly evacuation , quirks to the the stadium workers and officials.
Hopefully it was of course a false alarm but no one can argue it was a wrong decision. The fact that it was utd makes it 'bigger' news but it will also act as a reminder to everyone at every stadium of the need for a safety first mentality.

Safety first, we can all agree. But if this package is fake and a simply prank to delay game then its not fair.

Seriously what a pile of bollocks. ****

I just found it odd is all. Wasn't having a go, obviously you were showing respect so apologies if I appeared aggressive.

duffman13

If it's played in the next day or so it will most likely be in an empty stadium, too much security arrangements to put in place for a game tomorrow.

I really hope this turns out to be a ridiculous hoax the thought of a viable bomb in any stadium turns my stomach.

So you do argue with facts.

RobertKK

The problem for United and the FA is the fact United have the FA cup match to play on Saturday.
So it is either played tomorrow or it is played after the FA cup.

I can't understand anyone taking am issue with what you said. I said something similar in a Hillsborough thread from a United pov and got critised. Amazing what people take offense at.

It'll be half empty even if they keep the same ticketing. Might be best to do that even if it's the most surreal PL game ever played.

Would think so. As things stand it will be an important game even if City get a result.

City in another sence won't be looking nervously with an eye on OT today being no game. 1-1 at half time not the end of the world.... That score and hypothetically United say now 2-0 up at half time and that's a hell of a more nervous City side in that dressing room. Not as black and white as you foolishly continue to insist on making out...

International teams meeting up after that. Tomorrow seems to make most sense.

The Euros are going to be tense and a nightmare for the authorities.

I think sometimes people get a little blinded by the tribal stuff it's hard to see what's genuine or fake.

Everyone in my family apart from me is United and they'd head over to the games a fair bit. I guess I just think, if that was my brother or Da over there they could get caught in something like that.

This is not about football, it's about the safe evacuation of people from a potentially life threatening situation. As I said, I'm glad everyone got out safe and sound.

You love facts, if City don't qualify for the champions league it's completely there own fault, professional players and only need a draw at a weakened Swansea team.

If they can't win it I doubt there will be one player or official at city who would agree with your ludicrous assessment or will be pointing the finger at Utds "unfair advantage"

Mr.Crinklewood

Don't feed him.

It's pretty telling of his character to see what he's focusing on given the gravity of the situation. Horrible stuff.

Indeed, so I'm going to close this until there's an actual match to talk about.

This has been re-scheduled for tonight if I'm not mistaken, so thread re-opened.

Jayop

So much meh. I'd have more interest in a pre season friendly. At least there's an opportunity to learn something from that. Rest everyone for the cup final please.

Can you change the Thread title?

And 1-1 lol
