You’re right. The Guardian headline is they claim to be saving football. Bollocks, they are complaining because they are shit
I always find it hilarious these protests disappear when they are winning games.
Fucking memories of goldfish unless it's about 1992 or 1999 the mard arse rag twats

The 1958 organised the biggest anti-ownership demonstration since Sir Jim Ratcliffe became co-owner when Arsenal visited Old Trafford 20 days ago, and they continued their fight seven miles away at FC United's Broadhurst Park ground on Saturday.
The Glazers' takeover was the catalyst to the foundation of FCUM in 2005 and The 1958 joined them in their stand against the ownership and current situation around Manchester United as part of the first 'United United Day' in six years.
The fan-owned club and protest group linked up at the Northern Premier League Premier Division match against Stockton Town - a show of solidarity that will be followed by another demonstration during next Sunday's Premier League derby at home to Manchester City.
Steve Crompton, spokesman for The 1958, said: 'I think probably one of the most impactful (protests) we did was the sit-in, and we will be running another one of those against City next weekend.'
The last Old Trafford sit-in was in August 2023, when thousands of fans stayed behind following a comeback win against Nottingham Forest.

The fan group are now planning a sit-in protest at next weekend's Manchester derby
A spokesperson from the group suggested around '7,000 concessions, OAP people' will not be renewing season tickets
There will be millions of eyes on next weekend's Manchester derby, which will be United's first match since season ticket price increases were announced, including large hikes for some senior supporters.
Chris Haymes of The 1958 group said: 'We're going to get people to sit in their seats
'MUST (Manchester United Supporters Trust) did a flash survey and they reckon there's going to be about 7,000 concessions, OAP people, who are not going to renew their season tickets.
'So, they're trying to price them out of their seats, so we're going to tell you to sit in your seat, stay in your seat. That's your seat that you paid for. You probably have done for last 50 or 60 years. After that game, we're going to stay in that seat.'
The pair were speaking at Broadhurst Park, where there were chants, flags and banners calling for the Glazers to leave outside the ground two hours before kick-off. Ratcliffe was also subject of some fan ire at a match that attracted a crowd of 2,357.
A couple of hundred fans were joined by more inside the ground, where The 1958 and FCUM chairman Nick Boom hosted a Q&A.
FCUM said The 1958 were the first fan group to formally contact them since their foundation and Boom believes they are 'fighting a worthy battle', including seeking to form a coalition of United groups.

What a bunch of pathetic losers these people really are. Protests? Sit-ins? Demonstrations? FFS! Virtually every club in the history of the game has had its ups and downs: scrapping for the title one season, avoiding relegation the next. Players coming and going, same with chairmen and owners etc. No club can guarantee top 3 or 4 every single season, this isn't Scotland.
It's about time these plastic day-trippers had a reality check. Other clubs have been in a similar situation before, many many times before actually, but they don't organise protests and march about with banners and posters demanding a change in management just because they're not top dogs anymore.
The reason that disgusting cub are where they are is not down to the Glazers, it's down to the players. The players that your club paid £70/80 million for and is paying them £350,000 a week to go out on the pitch and enhance their social media status. Players who would far rather endorse their training shoes than actually employ them for what they are supposed to do - ie, train with them. Same with boots, shirts, shorts etc.
Modelling kits in a flashy, digital studio somewhere, with soft lighting and luxurious backdrops: hair gel applied in copious amounts, gold bling and Rolexes adorning their well-honed and deeply tanned bodies - better than going out on the cold and wet pitch under the glaring floodlights, being scrutinised by the people who paid for your ostentatious lifestyle in the first place, having to actually do what you are handsomely paid for, isn't it?
Your club is sinking faster than a concrete slab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with both Mark (The Beast) Labbet and Cyril Smith performing a fucking tango on it. Face, it you cannot feast at the banquet with the high and mighty if you're a penniless vagrant waiting for your next PiP payment.

Watching the FA Cup Qtr Final on the Beeb and the Rag obsession is still there, might as well be renamed Rashford Villa, they can’t stop mentioning his name, despite all he’s done is wander around a lot and take one crap free kick

After watching the City FA Cup game on Hoofoot I tuned in to watch the Preston v Villa game. Rashford took responsibility for their penalty and did his ridiculous dance routine before taking the kick - I was totally pissed off that he actually scored as he looked an absolute dickhead.
