FC United of Manchester

[Baj]

Congrats! Just watched a great game versus rochdale, United went 2-0 up, rochdale brought it back to 2-2, and in the 94th minute, united pounced on a complete defensive **** up, almost last kick of the game, 3-2

 

One step close to Man Utd v FC United of Man

Amazing - just watched it too.

 

Magic of the Cup!!!

Damnit, what channel was it on? Were their fans very vocal?

 

Would love to get them down here in the next round.

[RonManager]

Justin had it on.

 

They literally never stopped singing and comprised over half of a 7k crowd.

[saint_bert]

Fantastic.

 

First steps towards fans reclaiming back their clubs.

 

Wish them all the best.

I saw it on Viasat Football on Swedish tele, but it was also on ESPN

[jawillwill]

I don't care how good the result was, it's still a stupid name for a football club.

[JRM]

To the tune of the sex pistols 'I am an anarchist'

 

I am a fc fan

And I am mancunian

I know.what I want and i know how to get it

Cause I, want to kill, glazer and sky

 

 

 

Quite ironic they had their game moved for tv when they are campaigning against sky. I agree with their 'against modern football principles, but would rather see afc Wimbledon do well

Do they have a Mancs only policy?

 

Long may they succeed, but I'd be interested to know why that bloke wants us in the next round, still bitter about his Grandad's tales of Bobby stokes offside goal perhaps?

[SET]

Erm id guess because the two biggest sides possible would be Saints and Sheff Wed.....................And i for one would prefer a visit to Hampshire than Sheffield

[hamster]

WHAT... we're bigger than Brighton? When did this happen? ;-)

 

Not sure why they would want to get knocked out quite so soon when they could draw a minnow and keep the dream of playing at their spiritual home, OT, alive a bit longer.

Playing mufc would tear the club apart

[for_heaven's_Saint]

There was an article in the metro (I think) today about how they debated refusing to play on tv. There

was a quote along the lines ofif we'd have got Southampton away, we'd have made the decision te other way', presumably

because playing us would have made themas much money as ESPN paid. Which was apparantly around £67,000.

Club would refuse to move kick off times down here, due to the impact it would have on fans having to travel on a Friday night on the whim of a TV company.

 

Rochdale is only 3 miles from Manchester

[wild-saint]

full respect to them. I agree the game has been taken over by the money men and to a degree ruined.

[SET]

game is being replayed on ESPN at 10:30am

[saint_bert]

Am I right in hearing that they had flares etc in the stand?

[ChrisPY]

They'd hate to play Man Utd. They don't go to Old Trafford because they don't want to give a single penny to the Yanks. If they play them it'll be TV money and half the ticket sales in the Glazier's pockets.
