I cannot tell you how much I love this story. It made my day.

Aren't they only held responsible for behaviour of fans when they are inside stadiums (including away games, not under their control). We don't even know that they are all rags, it could have been Chelsea fans :)

Possibly, and it's understandable if true. Otherwise you could have the Chelsea fan scenario, of rival fans disrupting games in order to put the host team in trouble. But on this occasion, the fans also broke in to Old Trafford. Footage (and now arrests) prove they were United fans, and footage seems to show that United's own security team actually opened the doors to let the protesters into the ground.

So United's own security were actually complicit in allowing the attack to take place and hence also culpable for the postponement.

No punishment smacks of favoritism.

What's to stop a club organising a riot or a pitch invasion to get a game called off when things are not going in their favour?

Nothing. But the competition organiser may award the points to the club not at fault for the abandonment. So it shouldn't be possible to use this as a method of nullifying a game being lost.

Note though, that as with the forced postponement, the punishments are discretionary, so it is still possible for certain clubs to get away with these things without punishment. I can't find any reference to any FA punishment having been applied to United for this year's postponement, or the fake bomb postponement back in 2016.

Just back from Tenerife and was in a restaurant having dinner with her indoors ..on the next table was a rag aged about 50 wearing his rag shirt, when in comes a lucky lucky man flogging his tat.
The rag buys a red hat covered in lights and says out loudly to his wife does it look embarrassing..
I said it's not half as embarrassing as that fucking shirt.
Their popularity must be waning as I only saw 2 rag shirts all week..

The fake bomb in the toilets was also placed by a member of the security staff

Very true, but if they are identified and are regulars at the swamp or had tickets in the home sections for the postponed game then they are rags and the club should face severe punishment. - And I thought Chelsea fans only disrupted Liverpool games.

They have history for that. 1974 springs immediately to mind.

The good thing about that was the referee had the sense to say he had blown the final whistle. Nowadays I don't suppose he would get away with it. The game would have to be replayed and behind closed doors.

The morons would still break in/be allowed in, to try and get the game abandoned, and the PL would still close their eyes, put their fingers in their ears, and sing "la la la la" and do sweet FA, sorry, PL.

Not true, The Derby was abandoned in the 85th minute and the league said the result stood.

MEN running a story about Rogers taking over from Ole as part of the Rags succession plan. When the fuck did sacking your manager become a succession plan.
City must have been a much better run club in the 90's than I remember. They seemed to have a continuous succession plan

Leaving it open-ended with a succession 'plan' allows the fickle, narrow minded fans to believe there is an end goal/product.

He took full responsibility and apologised, and as far as I can ascertain, he still has the security contact for United. This is so dodgy. Took the wrap on behalf of the club. He is rewarded with more work, they get off without punishment.

and Southampton and Birmingham would be given the appropriate points deduction

To be fair it is something that our club needs to start seriously thinking about and planning for
