>A statement on Twitter from Greater Manchester Police read: "Bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion at Old Trafford on what is described as (an) incredibly lifelike explosive device.
How or why would disinformation "protect" football?
Surely if it was a real bomb the police had found, it would send out the message of "if you try to bomb a football match we will fool you"

>Implying it wasn't LvG desperately trying to postpone his inevitable sacking once their season finally ends. He'll do it again next week lads
Jaxon Martinez
"Thousands of people nearly just died, but we caught it just in time" sounds a lot worse than "lol just a hoax"
Bentley Jackson
the perfect LvG plan: might look like the real thing, is incredibly boring to watch, never ever delivers
Nathan Morris
I thought it was ramadan? someone is acting haram
Adam Gonzalez
Why? Surely it sounds a lot better if they successfully foiled a legitimate bomb plot and saved the lives of thousands?
"It was a hoax" erodes public trust in the police, they'll think "fucking cunts don't even know what they're doing". If it was a real bomb they'll think "fucking crickey, respect to the police, they just saved our fucking lives"
And also what message does it send to terrorists. If they successfully foiled a legitimate threat then it sends the message "we will fuck you in the ass if you try this, look, we stopped you, we will stop you every time". If we just say "er it was a hoax" and they obviously know it was a real bomb, they'll just think we're fucking pussies because we don't even admit to our own people that it's a real bomb.

If you hadn't noticed, the European police and media's #1 priority now is protecting the reputation of Muslims.
Noah Smith
>yfw they do it every week and united never play a match again
Nathan Wright
Why? For what purpose exactly?
Isn't it the police's job to protect the people of this country? Yes, that is what their job is.
Why don't you fuck off back to plebbit with your left wing garbage opinions?
Ethan Sanders
probably really just not viable. no one in britain is smart enough to create a fully functioning explosive.

Hope we just play a bunch of kids desu (more than usual), no need to risk anyone for the final in this meaningless game
>Januzaj and Pereira playing Anyway, 4th place is definitely gone?
Nicholas Morgan
kek
So how are yanited fans feeling about thursday night footy ? Its another dent on their rep to attract players being out of CL. Hope a proper bomb can take down the club soon enough or Munich 2.0
Joshua Hall
Unless Utd win 19-0, yep.
Utd can finish 5th or 6th. 5th would put Utd through to the EL group stages, 6th would require a qualifier. But FA Cup winners get to the EL group stages anyway.

turns out it was just a device left behind from a training exercise by an external company
>A suspicious item discovered at Old Trafford on Sunday was a training device, police have confirmed.
>The Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was called off after a suspect package was found shortly before kick-off and a controlled explosion carried out.
>Police said the item had "accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise".

that is one fucking expensive mistake

Besides the IRA and Germany, who else has a history of bombing Britain?
Daniel Baker
Sounds like bullshit.
Ethan Scott
I'm near certain this would have been the IRA. It's in Manchester, it appears a couple of days after the threat level rose, and nobody's dead shouting allahu akbar
Wyatt Murphy
Boston put their entire city on lockdown because they thought some Lite-Brites promoting the Aqua Teen movie resembled explosives. It's stupid but this shit happens.
Jason James
I don't doubt that these things happen, but I think this is cover.
Admittedly it's not based on evidence.
Henry Nelson
Joke of a "security" company actually They couldn't even keep track of their fake devices how than they be trusted to track real bombs
Anthony White
how can*

Old Toilet would be the ideal target. They already bombed some place in Manchester 20 years ago.
