Should I even be at OT?
So as someone who has spent many Saturdays at Gigg Lane watching FCUM in protest against the Glazer takeover should I even be at OT? Well no money from my wallet made it to Glazers so my conscience is clear on that front. I also spent most of the game singing my favourite anti-Glazer songs, along with the majority of the Stretford end (I also got to watch Wayne Rooney in scoring form, but that's just a bonus). Where is my protest best heard? As much as I'd like to think FC Utd is a viable form of protest (it is), is it a realistic vehicle for change at OT? Probably not anymore.
It was interesting to see the stewards on the lookout for anti-Glazer banners. They got a bit of verbal but manged it when it was just the odd person. They had no chance after a goal, fans on their feet already, when a big green and gold protest flag was flung out next to a Glazer out banner.
Have a look on twitter using LUHG hashtag. Hopefully this type of protest makes MOTD (although it can't today) and other media that FC Utd rarely reach.

"The ultimate sanction is to hit the owners where it hurts, with a boycott of matches. But it is hard to stage a strike against your club and one hand will always be tied behind your back in such a civil war. Yet the editors of Red Issue, the United fanzine for which I write, point out that there are already empty seats and executive boxes at many matches, and believe it would be possible to push the Glazers over the edge, even if it meant taking the team down with them.

Their latest issue argues for “an acceptance of short-term pain for long-term gain” because to prosper in the future, “the club has to get rid of these leeches”. The question is, how many fans hate the Glazers — or Gillett and Hicks, or Mike Ashley, or whoever — sufficiently to stop loving their clubs for long enough?"

Sloppy goal. I don't really want to talk about it. At least FCUM makes the score ticker. Even though we don't work for Sky. Or pay Glazer.
