Football Mess

[imhotep]

A bit late to post this
But, does anyone agree with me about the terrible mess strewn around everywhere after the Rangers match the other evening,that the offenders dropping their litter throughout the city, should clear it up themselves?
I reckon there should have been more bins provided for this inevitable happening.
Perhaps,they would have still just dropped their litter where they were.
There was certainly no need to go around attacking people.

No sorry, I dont agree that they should clear it up themselves. That would involve them sticking around even longer.

Just let the scum clear off back to the hovels they obviously came from ASAP.

I dont think bins would have helped the situaion imhotep.
And because of the trouble, Manchester council arnt going to show Wednesday match on the big screens.Bloody shame if you ask me.

if you scroll down you will see the earlier thread where i mentioned in passing that the mess they left was more than a bit of litter, it was human excrement and urine and they didn't care where they left it either

I agree with hau kola, I doubt there`d be any trouble showing the game on Wednesday

It`s unlikely Man utd fans are gonna be on the p!ss from 8am anyway

It was bad planning allowing 100,000 ticketless fans to travel down to watch a game where they had fook all chance of winning

[imhotep]

Sorry dot.hawkes,I must have missed your thread.
Oh yes,I forgot about the other mess they left behind.

Yes,you do have a point there BOO.
They should go back to where they came from....

No,perhaps bins wouldn't have helped after all.

But,I sure you all agree that they shouldn't have attacked people just because they lost, especially the police who were trying to protect the innocent ones and keep the violence at bay .

[hau kola]

But the trouble started before they lost. It was alcohol, pure and simple.When the big screen failed, im afraid that was it.

[B00]

It was the booze, the very booze they were all drinking from 7am onwards.

[imhotep]

Okay, noknowledge!

How about giving you three stars then?
What do you think?

[ELVIS68]

Rumour has it the council pulled the plug on the screens because of the overcrowding incase Rangers scored

Just goes to show how much they know about Rangers scoring outside the Scottish Premier League

[imhotep]

I gave you 3 stars as you seem to be quite a friendly kind of person.
So,what sort of stuff are you into then?
I'm into quite a few things actually.
How about egyptology to start?That's how I got my name of course.
Or,how about sci-fi stuff?

[imhotep]

Oh,the response above is for <noknowledge
by the way!!

[imhotep]

Yeah, good point there ELVIS!!

If we`re getting into what we`re into imhotep then for me its Native American history hence my name:-))))

I heard that rumour about the big screen being pulled too as there were so many more people than expected so they wanted to get them out of town to the velodrome, I guess so the fans were dispersed and more controlled.

I don't suppose they thought it'd kick off a riot.

There were people out on the streets drinking when I was walking to work at 7am and apparantly Tesco got slammed for having bulk packs of cheap beer at the entrance from early, heard they got threatened with licence removal if they didn't shift it.

By mid afternoon there were a lot of extremely drunk people, we let most of the staff go early as they'd had to stop some of the trams and roads had to be shut and traffic was mad. They said they felt very intimidated trying to get home.

To be honest it was a relief for them to go after the events of that evening. Maybe Rangers should be shamed into footing some of the bill for the clearup.

I'm not a football fan but am disappointed it means local people suffer and now can't watch their team on the big screen now and it'll be another excuse for the council not to let us have a New Year do etc...
