It's definitely a case of one rule for United and one rule for City when it comes to policing derbies, whether that be keeping the visiting supporters locked in or wading in with the batons on innocent supporters who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Whoever decided to let United fans out after they had just scored a 93rd minute winner has an awful lot to answer for.
If you have commented on here Withington, have you ever actually complained to the GMP themselves? I have sent an email to them this morning asking just why the police didn't keep the United fans in the ground until the City fans had dispersed, exactly as they did for the CC semi at OT. I also told them that the officer in charge should be held responsible. It is one thing coming on here complaining but that doesn't bring the wider issue to the attention of the powers that be. If you are unsure where to email: complaints@gmp.police.uk

I wish you the best of luck. However, I doubt whether you will get any firm action, other than an ackowledgment of your complaint and a promise that they will take your concerns on board.
Fighting crime, protecting people? Bollocks!

Sorry mate but if you hit somebody purely because of what football team they support than you're a prick. (Not meaning you, just meaning in general).Blue Smarties said:What's the difference in a pub fight to a football fight?

You are the person who the behaviour you want to complain about was directed towards.
You were ‘adversely affected’ by the behaviour you want to complain about. This means that whether the behaviour was towards you or not, it had some sort of bad effect on you. You might have been distressed or inconvenienced by it, you might have suffered some sort of loss or damage because of it or you might have been put in danger.
You witnessed the behaviour that you want to complain about (this usually means you were an eyewitness, and not for example that you saw it on TV).
General complaints wont be looked at,you NEED the numbers of the officers & video off camera phones along with witnesses if possible.Complaints about the overall policies and procedures of a police force, as well as other issues relating to quality of service or operational decisions, do not fall within the remit of the IPCC. Such complaints should be made to the police force concerned.
