Quick addition to last night's 'triumph' at the Swamp.
I was there as my wife is from Lyon and her family had flown over for the match from France...an utter shambles for the Lyon fans trying to attend
Though we we arrived at 7:00 pm we were kettle outside the Swamp..time passed and virtually no progress towards the turnstiles..apparently only two open in one gate for 3,000 fans
8pm ko came and went with L'OL fans finally losing patience
At 8:25 Utd finally opened one more gate..2 x turnstiles..cue dangerous stampede..including a dangerous crush at the 2 new turnstiles...Scum security guards clearly barely keeping control
I an fighting to hold off the crush behind me and the Rag security in front
..a young woman behind me has a panic attack..
We finally got into the Swamp at 8:40 having missed most other first half...
I could have seen that situation getting Hillsborough-worse...nasty and dangerous..with no info offered to the Lyon fans..increasing the levels of frustration and anger..
After the game as we remained kettled....a mumbled, half-hearted apology for 'delays'...
Thus was a shambles..and a potentially dangerous one at that..L'OL are bringing a complaint
UEFA need a full report before exposing Bilbao fans to the same dangerous incompetence at The Swamp...
 
Seen the rags are going to play youngsters in the PL games so they can concentrate on the Europa….can they do that as it doesn’t seem fair?

This sounds like a total shambles.
Lucky no one was injured I think.

Opening turnstiles costs money , Dom. Are you saying Scruffy Jim should risk forcing the world's greatest club into bankruptcy, just because fans want to watch a game ...?

Well it makes sense to save their senior players for the Europa... after all they've looked so convincing so far, initially being near the bottom of the League stage but qualifying for the knock out stages by the skin of their teeth then only getting this far by virtue of favourable officiating in games with the same level of football on display that you'd find in an under 10's match.
 
Bury supporter here, posted in our hour of need. At least we've got Gigg back and touch wood should go up today. Hate the reds with a passion similar to you lot, but I think this has already been decided. Sending off and penalty bordered on corrupt, United fan (one of a few I know who I respect including 2 STH's and a long time lapsed STH) who was there even said the 'challenge' for their penalty didn't look like it!. They'll win it, UEFA are desperate to have them at the top table, get your money on at 5 to 2, I have, and might have some more too. If they don't, unlikely, it's one time I'd be happy to donate to the bookies pension fund. What Radcliffe has done to log time STH's in prime seats is little short of disgraceful, so he can sell them to corporate clients. All down to money!

They've not had a dramatic win like that since Sir Alex retired

Bet that late win brought back some memories

It's Pisscan, Slur Alex (at a push) or **** on this forum.

You start using titles like "Sir" and I'm looking around for some noble Knight......... there's nothing noble about that grave dodging fucker.

There's more piss stains in the night about him than noble Knight.
 
Juventus, Inter Milan and Napoli are all interested in signing Manchester United and Norway striker Rasmus Hojlund, 22, this summer. (Caughtoffside)

I see the Ministry of Truth aka Rag PR department are at it again. Desperate attempt to mug someone off with their latest “world class” folly.
Rochdale,Carlisle and Tranmere would be more realistic.
