FA taking our prize money

[Sara]

Well, 75000 euros of it according to one of the Irish papers.

[RP]

About the same as we pay Cisse every week.

[Miracle@Istanbul]

We pay agents £2million a year and the rest of the payroll is nearly £100 million.

[Falconhoof]

Good job we're paying or The Franchise would have to get another grant off the national lottery. Maybe Glazer will go on incapacity benefit to help him through his ilness.

About the same as we pay Cisse every week.

 

 

So, smash up OT for £50k a week, or pay Cisse? Tough one! LOL

It sure is.

 

Bye bye Djibs.

 

 

[Sara]

Yep

[Ed the Wool]

How bad was the damage, just out of interest?

[boohog]

a snip at the price.

[Sara]

How bad was the damage, just out of interest?

 

 

Broken chair backs, graffiti, sinks and urinals ripped out, signs ripped off etc etc

 

 

The place is still usable

[Miracle@Istanbul]

Its like any insurance job, vastly inflated, the have construction crews on site already.

[AE]

I though we would be paid for our design abilities.

 

Cost of new plastic chair - £5000

Cost of new sinks - £8000

Improvments to OT - priceless

I thought the vandalism was disgusting tbh. Munich slogans, stuff about shipman. Ive heard so many people saying how great it was to smash up OT that it really makes you wonder about 'the best fans in the world'.

There's been more than enough evidence to sink that line in the past couple of months even before the semi.

[Guest Kev]

Jeez,

 

30,000 Liverpool fans, I refuse to put Scousers. Old Trafford got off lightly, let's get things into perspective. They didn't exactly treat the Anfield Road as if it was their own either.

The PC dogs will be after you

can we nail this once and for all because this best fans in the world s*** is annoying me

 

We ARE the bext supporters in the world when it comes to backing the team...no doubt

 

That has f*** all to do with trouble, munich songs, manc baiting, vandalism, ripping off services, etc etc etc etc

 

They go hand in hand....some of the same supporters who make our in ground support what it is, also take part in the shenanigans of the type that went on on SAturday

 

We (and all othe clubs) have an element who will look for trouble, esp where United are concerened,,,When you have a lrge amount of fans, there will be a larger elememnt who will want to make there mark, literally, on Old Trafford

 

Anyone who travels watching Liverpool will tell you umpteen stories of kick offs, robbing, high jinx....its part and parcel of what happens when scallies leave there comfort zone....and it has always gone on

I care more about my ravishing good looks than the mancs feelings so I'd keep my opinions to myself.

[Guest Scot]

would you tell them face to face your opinions about what happened ?

 

 

Christ...

[NWR]

....If it were 30,000 United fans at Anfield the same would happen..........

 

 

I agree. That is why I was up in arms when I found out your semi final was being played at OT.

 

It just should not be allowed. Your lot should never be let anywhere near OT when United are not there, and our lot should never be let anywhere near your ground.

 

Fecking idiots the FA are

[Guest Kev]

 

Christ...

 

I'm just fed up of people giving it large on here but when faced with the opportunity to say something to the people would keep quiet.

 

As Anny said earlier, we are the best fans in the world, but we also have our 'hooligans', the same as every club in the country from Chelsea to the depths of the non-league.

What you're saying is a little short of 'come and 'ave a go if you think you're 'ard enough'. It's rubbish. Most people aren't likely to wade into a seething mass of hoolies that's chanting Shipman songs and tearing out seats and ask them to please give over. Not surprising really is it?

 

Interesting that you're getting impatient with those who won't face down hooligans, rather than criticising the hoolies themselves. But then as you've said you enjoy the aggro.

[filopastry]

So what exactly did this achieve beyond a bit of damage that will be quickly repaired at our own expense?

Past tense, but I will not deny that it can get compulsive viewing.

 

And for the record I have stopped the Shipman song from being sung in the Stanley.

 

Maybe I didn't type clear enough.

[Earl Hafler]

So, Kev. Are you justifying what happened at OT because it doesn't matter ? People think Liverpool fans are like that anyway ?

[diaspora]

Adding to the danger of going completely off topic, there is a view of Merseyside that it not borne out by statistics. Crime in Merseyside is much lower than in Manchester and in some cases is lower than national average, yet even on Merseyside there is a high perceived threat of crime. The press, media what have you are so guilty at portraying ius in a certain light that we often believe it ourselves
