What i want to know is why harry maguire's greek retrial has not happened yet.

The last postponement we heard was in october, the fourth such postponement, and the reason given this time was "because court documents had not been translated into English"
I mean, i could do that on google in about 10 seconds.

He was found guilty of assaulting police officers and then attempting to bribe them in august 2020..

Just askin', like.

The retrial was adjourned as you say for documents to be translated. At the time the judge said a new date would be set just as soon as Maguire is transferred or retires, which ever is sooner.
He acknowledged that this is mancheszyouniti' were talking about.

Just answerin'

Just found out that for their FA cup game against Brighton, they're charging away fans £55 for a ticket. What an utter disgrace.

Guessing they still do a mandatory cup scheme too which means they'll be rinsing their home fans for that too. Probably take the money put on Christmas eve just for maximum piss boiling.

Bet that wanker of an owner at Shrewsbury wished they had got United away. Could have charged £80 a ticket



Not wanting to stick up for the rags but they do have a valid point. Their game was forced to a later date for TV which meant they were without a player for a further game. If that had happened to us there would be about 50 pages of claims sky colluded with the Moroccan FA intentionally moving the game to put us at a disadvantage.

I commented on this ticket pricing issue last season, it was either these tossers or Arsenal. My opinion hasn't changed and that is the 30 quid cap on away tickets needs extending to all comps.

The Beeb said that the Rags were being treated unfairly but other clubs' Morocco players are in the same boat so it's not unfair. But regardless of fact, it was the Rags so it's GROSSLY UNFAIR!

If they were in European competition, they wouldn’t be playing Monday night, to fit in matches for European competitors at the weekend.

They should be ecstatic that they have the opportunity to play on TV yet again (extra broadcast money), and not miss out as per 10 other teams who end up generally filling the traditional nonTV 3pm Saturday kickoffs.

I think someone mentioned they aren’t not on TV till about Feb in the PL. and presumably will have loads more after that as well.

The line is always ‘this is manshestnitid, so everyone wants to see them play’ and yet it’s only when they play teams in the top 6 or so, that they get high numbers of viewers for their games - implying that people are only watching those games because of the other teams that are playing. Broadcasters still living (and in Hope) in the 90’s/00’s

The claim wasn't in relation to other Moroccans, it was in relation to every other team having their called up African players available for the past gameweek. It's an undeniably valid claim.

Shit like that has been happening to mid and lower tabled teams for years I bet. Just now it’s headlines for some reason.

They were treated exactly the same way that other clubs with Moroccan players were treated. Identical treatment, couldn't be fairer, but Rags want fair with extra knobs. Some African nations didn't follow the Moroccan line but I say 'Serve's yer fuckin' right Raggy boys for hiring Moroccans.

The survery question 'Have you ever watched Manshnited on telly ignores the notion that you were watching 'cos you were supporting the team they were playing!
 
I remember that toothy fuckpig over at their red cousins making some kind of ‘derogatory’ remarks about AFCON last time and a journalist calling him out over it. It took him by surprise and IIRC he, for once, seemed to be knocked from his arrogant stance temporarily and some mealy mouthed apology was begrudgingly forthcoming.

The rags have certainly worded their disappointment at (shock, horror) a player being called up and wanting to play for their country in such a way as not to upset anyone.

Guy at work rolled that one out yesterday, saying the had to play kids at the back! £52 mil is not an amount you spend on centre backs if they are not ready for the first team

Didn’t you read at the time of his arrival in Trafford that the rags were buying him for his "potential."

Just like Rasmus Birtles.

Taxpayers have been forced to pump £120m into billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Grangemouth chemical plant to save the site from closure.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Government said on Wednesday it would provide Sir Jim’s Ineos site with a funding package after it was left struggling with high energy bills and rising carbon taxes.

I am all abut saving jobs but the Money he has invested in the Rags makes this a disgrace that he has tax payers bailing him out
