craig 5,199 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Will we need another OF summit seeing as someone was sent off ? Or will we just ignore it ? Will we just accept that these things happen ? Will anyone have the balls to point out that it was somewhat of a timid match with few powderkeg moments... and that this transpired when LENNON was nowhere near the action ? lowest common denominator in every incident that has happened between the two teams this season.... yep, the one guy who wasnt allowed near the action today - and unsurprisingly we didnt see too many ugly moments. Didnt think so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just goes to show, the summit obviously worked. There were arrests inside and outside the ground but you'll get that at all OF games, even the tedious ones. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I always think that headlines such as "33 arrests around the ground" are useless without some sort of comparison of what the average at a large football derby is. After all, 33 sounds amazingly few when fifty to sixty thousand people get together with some kind of tribal rivalry. I'd like to know how many there are in a Manchester derby... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Nineteen arrests after Manchester United and City derby Police maintained a high profile for the match Continue reading the main story Related Stories Increased policing for derby game Nineteen people were arrested during the Manchester United and Manchester City derby match, police have said. Sixteen people were arrested on suspicion of a variety of offences including drunkenness, public order and ticket touting. Three people were arrested on suspicion of throwing an object on the pitch, criminal damage and possession of drugs. But the force thanked fans for their overall good behaviour. United won 2-1, including a goal scored by an overhead kick from Wayne Rooney. Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Neil Wain said: "This was a tense and exciting game and it is being discussed for all of the right reasons. "We are once again grateful to the vast majority of law-abiding fans from both sides for their patience." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 There were seven more arrests the following week using cctv footage which makes 26 in total. Not far off the 33 at the OF match but if you compare arrests without silly sing song stuff then I think they may be worse. Funny how the BBC play up the "overall good behaviour"... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
