>A statement on Twitter from Greater Manchester Police read: "Bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion at Old Trafford on what is described as (an) incredibly lifelike explosive device.

A hoax or are police releasing disinformation to protect a multi-billion pound industry?
>>67611036
How or why would disinformation "protect" football?
Surely if it was a real bomb the police had found, it would send out the message of "if you try to bomb a football match we will fool you"
>>67611036
>Implying it wasn't LvG desperately trying to postpone his inevitable sacking once their season finally ends.
He'll do it again next week lads
>>67611429
"Thousands of people nearly just died, but we caught it just in time" sounds a lot worse than "lol just a hoax"
>>67611487
the perfect LvG plan: might look like the real thing, is incredibly boring to watch, never ever delivers
>>67611554
I thought it was ramadan? someone is acting haram
>>67611554
Why? Surely it sounds a lot better if they successfully foiled a legitimate bomb plot and saved the lives of thousands?
"It was a hoax" erodes public trust in the police, they'll think "fucking cunts don't even know what they're doing". If it was a real bomb they'll think "fucking crickey, respect to the police, they just saved our fucking lives"
And also what message does it send to terrorists. If they successfully foiled a legitimate threat then it sends the message "we will fuck you in the ass if you try this, look, we stopped you, we will stop you every time". If we just say "er it was a hoax" and they obviously know it was a real bomb, they'll just think we're fucking pussies because we don't even admit to our own people that it's a real bomb.

If you hadn't noticed, the European police and media's #1 priority now is protecting the reputation of Muslims.
>>67611487
>yfw they do it every week and united never play a match again
>>67612466
Why? For what purpose exactly?
Isn't it the police's job to protect the people of this country? Yes, that is what their job is.
Why don't you fuck off back to plebbit with your left wing garbage opinions?
probably really just not viable. no one in britain is smart enough to create a fully functioning explosive.
>>67612466
>Muslims
What evidence is there that they are involved?
>be yuropoor
>go to game
>get blown up
>"muh atmosphere"

>my celly telly walkie and talkie falls put of my pocket

Aww yeah. In murrica we got real bombs as sporting events. Stay mad eurocucks

Old Trafford was full of United fans
TUESDAY 8PM
MATCH BACK ON
>>67613621
Hope we just play a bunch of kids desu (more than usual), no need to risk anyone for the final in this meaningless game
Something like:
Depay - Rashford - Januzaj
----- Pereira ----- Weir
--------- Schneiderlin
CBJ - Blind - Fosu-Mensah - Varela
-------------- De Gea
>>67613698
>Januzaj and Pereira playing
Anyway, 4th place is definitely gone?
>>67613269
kek
So how are yanited fans feeling about thursday night footy ? Its another dent on their rep to attract players being out of CL. Hope a proper bomb can take down the club soon enough or Munich 2.0
>>67613935
Unless Utd win 19-0, yep.
Utd can finish 5th or 6th. 5th would put Utd through to the EL group stages, 6th would require a qualifier. But FA Cup winners get to the EL group stages anyway.
>>67612899
Bomb
turns out it was just a device left behind from a training exercise by an external company
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36297390
>A suspicious item discovered at Old Trafford on Sunday was a training device, police have confirmed.
>The Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was called off after a suspect package was found shortly before kick-off and a controlled explosion carried out.
>Police said the item had "accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise".
top kek
that is one fucking expensive mistake
>a training device
KEK
What a joke of a club
>>67612626
>Isn't it the police's job to protect the people of this country?
Surely you can't be this naive
>>67612899
Besides the IRA and Germany, who else has a history of bombing Britain?
>>67615737
Sounds like bullshit.
I'm near certain this would have been the IRA.
It's in Manchester, it appears a couple of days after the threat level rose, and nobody's dead shouting allahu akbar
>>67619000
Boston put their entire city on lockdown because they thought some Lite-Brites promoting the Aqua Teen movie resembled explosives. It's stupid but this shit happens.
>>67621023
I don't doubt that these things happen, but I think this is cover.
Admittedly it's not based on evidence.
>>67616680
Joke of a "security" company actually
They couldn't even keep track of their fake devices how than they be trusted to track real bombs
>>67621237
how can*
>>67612899
>>67616827
>implying the IRA aren't staunch Liverpool fans
Old Toilet would be the ideal target. They already bombed some place in Manchester 20 years ago.

They're Muslims.
