Not one bit mate. When you think of the shit they have managed to airbrush from their history, this is nothing. Disappointed at the cockroaches in the media though.

If you can show me where I've said they're blameless I'll buy you a pint. My point is merely that it's not entirely the rags fault, and that the security company placing the bombs are clearly not without blame here. I've no idea how someone can refute this but obviously we all love a good rag bash.
Absolutely, but whether he has the luxury or not in this case is surely irrelevant. Fact is he did. Or I guess more accurately, a perfectly believable explanation of events says he did.
Hopefully they'll get dragged over coals and rightfully so, but so will the security company, rightly so.
Neither would I, but we all know he was probably the cheapest security company Ed found in the yellow pages. Doesn't excuse his behavior and I have not anywhere said the rags are blameless. This is still just coming down to basic human error. Security personnel aren't elevated above this fact unfortunately. On the contrary you could no doubt find endless articles online detailing security fuck ups.
Look.....people can get complacent on drills because they may have done them hundreds of times before...but you still have to do them and do them right or there is hell to play and I know.Why? The whole point of a drill is you do them so in the event of the real thing you know exactly what to do,especially when dealing with the public who will be probably panicking and looking to you for help and guidance.
When you say basic human error trust me you cannot get more basic than taking thirteen devices to a public location and going home with twelve,that isn't just basic it is the behaviour of someone with the IQ of an amoeba!

Rubbish. You do the same thing day in day out and it matters not a fucking jot how important it is, you'll get complacent, because you know you've done it faultless for days and days on end. This comes down to nothing more than simple human nature. As it appears, correct me if I'm wrong, he's not subject to oversight, he's the top of the chain - One single bloke? It's not a fucking joint spec ops/Mi5 exercise.
Now two scenarios are possible in the days between his seminar and the game. 1) He doesn't have another job on that week, so he doesn't notice he's still a pipe bomb short. 2) He does, and either he still doesn't notice, because at the next job he's still not using his entire assortment of bombs, or he does notice, and what? He just doesn't bother ringing the club to get it back? Why the fuck would he do that?
If this is all so outlandish what is the actual explanation? Because all I've seen so far is how the club and company statements are clearly bollocks and there is something more sinister afoot, yet no-one seems able to tell me what that is.
Covering their f*cking backs and trying to do a damage limitation exercise - how difficult is it for you to grasp that ?

If only their surveillance staff operated with as much ruthless efficiency as their pr machine we wouldn't be having this conversation.Not one bit mate. When you think of the shit they have managed to airbrush from their history, this is nothing. Disappointed at the cockroaches in the media though.

Because the dogs have been trained to sniff for explosives.This one had none whatsoever and was for staff purposes (humans) to find as part of their training.
So it was a game of hunt the bomb and the cunts couldn't find the item when it was hung up on a bog door?

Their PR machine wouldn't be anywhere near as effective if the slugs in the media had any balls.

Crocodiles and plover birds, mate.Their PR machine wouldn't be anywhere near as effective if the slugs in the media had any balls.
Another odd one is at what time was the device found and the stadium start to be evacuated? I am sure it was about 15 minutes before kick off time and by that time the gates must have been open allowing people in for around two hours.So in all that time no one else used that toilet or spotted the device??? Incredible that!
