He's basically being contrary, calling out all of the journalistes who are taking part in the blackout as being virtue signallers who don't give a shit about the issues for the rest of the year. Probably a scintilla of truth there tbf

Why is it called a blackout? Seems a bit racist to me.

Sky presenter seemed more upset that the game was delayed than anything.

 

"Is this what all fans should do, then? Get matches delayed?"

 

No, maybe a campaign on Twitter which does **** all or they could write letters?

 

Whether you agree with the protest or not, it's caused disruption which it was intended to do.

United are such a shit club

Yep, people are all for faux outrage and meaningless social media campaigns but suddenly aren’t so supportive as soon as they are slightly inconvenienced.

Fair play to these fans, I wish more would take a meaningful approach and we might not all be in this mess.

2nd in the league, probable europa final and they’re protesting!!! As a fan what more do you want. Some people are never happy.

I think you're being sarcastic but either way I see both sides, these are the 'real' Man Utd fans, they're making a stand and quite rightly, the plastic Man Utd (Or top 6) fans don't care as long as their team is on TV.

 

However where I do agree and laugh along with you if you're being serious is when I heard arguably one of these plastic Man Utd fans judging by his accent, is when I listen to TalkSport and they claim their club is being "Run our into the ground". Give me a break, have a day off!

 

 

Whilst they havn't been at the echelons for a few years, they're still holding their own, they're still breaking transfers records, it makes me sick these deluded, entitled fans even dare to say they're being "run into the ground", tell Bury fans that!

 

The ironic thing is no-one agrees with this super league thing but it amazes me how these fans of the top 6 clubs are throwing their toys out the pram, do they only just realise they are part of the problem and always have been?

A very strongly worded open letter often does the trick.

What do we reckon a 6'o'clock kick off now?

Absolutely. Easy to brush things off on the internet, not quite so straightforward when thousands of fans are mobilised to make a stand.

He focused on what the Glazers have done for the club rather than the angle of the Super League plotting as if the fans are protesting at coming second to Man City this season! he had some elements of harsh reality in what he said but as usual in his role as chief antagonist / balloon burster he comes across as missing the point.

Hopefully Liverpool win and the 2 points dropped against Southampton will become a point gained on United.

This is spot on. 

 

Gesture politics work only as far as 'here's a message'. 

 

Inconvenience the owners. Make sure there is action. 

 

As much as I dislike United this is an excellent protest. Its action. Too often that's the problem with society :all mouth and no trousers.

Whilst also being wrong about their views of the Glazers. He said they weren't complaining when they were winning trophies when they had been- the Green and Gold protest has been going for over a decade, there were demonstrations in 2005 against the Glazers. I mean, a football club was even created in protest against them!

This stuff doesn't help. Focus on your own protest (which is working) not bringing down others.

 

Surprised Red Issue have gone that way. They are far better than that.

[fazzyfox]

I join them in the concerns for the future of our beloved game, their right to protest and the effective strategies involved but can they just hurry it up a bit, I don't want to miss Country File and my Sky Box is too full to record it.

We’re not. Do you really want 50+1 ownership for Leicester.
