Bobby Charlton on SSN

[WaltonRed]

Fair do's to him to for coming out and backing the club.

[Antynwa]

TOUT!

[Thants]

Slaphead

[escapepods]

What was he asked and what did he say?

[Red Nick]

He may be a Manc but is still s true gent of the game.

[23CARRAGOLD]

Hes invited all the miners who are stuck underground in Chile to a Manc game when they are all up and sound aswell. Said his arl fella was a miner and just wanted to get involved in helping the fellas out like.

 

I think hes been prompted on that one though. The Mancs are masters at exploiting any publicity to involve themselves and this just reeks of it to me.

[Jonny83]

It would surprise me if most Mancs genuinely wanted us to slide into oblivion. Everyone needs someone to hate.

You cynic

 

I am sure his intentions are genuine but other peoples at the club might not be.

[gkmacca]

Was Bobby worried? Bobby's worried about most things. The recession. Global warming. Malfunctioning coffee machines. Wasps. The scarcity of chicken crisps in supermarkets. Anne Widdicombe's tits....

[WaltonRed]

He just said he feels sorry for the supporter, we're a proper club, we'll be back and all that.

 

He didnt have to say it and he came across very genuine.

Just had a look for the story and theres only a Scum link and a Telegraph one. It was on Sky News yesterday like.

[Byrnie]

Fair fucks to him, a lot of our own ex players can fuck off.

[WaltonRed]

Exactly.

 

Here's a man steeped in the history of our biggest rival coming out to support us and yet some ex reds have swerved the issue at every chance.

[lifetime fan]

I'm sure manc fans would rather he spoke out against those yanks in charge of their own club.

Why? because they weren't asked by SSN to comment? Because the major media outlets didn't consider their views as newsworthy? Yes, jump on them for playing for the club, giving their all to give you pleasure and then not being your own always-available puppet. After all you've done for them!

Behave.

 

He's not on about SSN, none of them bar aldo showed for the jefferies video, none showed at the demo in town.

[Red Nick]

Lets not forget that Charlton comes from an Era of nice Mancs that included Shanks best friends Busby and Law

[the-fox]

i'd love to hear what Jack Charlton would say lol dunno why some are so hostile to Bobby though he's old school and probaly genuinely meant what he said.

[S1 LFC]

poor fuckers...couple of months trapped down a mine then have to go to watch that shower of shite. i reckon a few will say "fuck it, i'll stay down here".

[The Special One]

Even I'm worried about Ann Widdecombe's tits to be fair.

They're copying us with that. We sent down a message offering them seats an Anfield for a game of their choice.

They sent a note back up reading "Will Konchesky and Poulsen be playing?"

When we responded that they would, another note came up which read "We really better just spend time with families when we surface."

[Strontium]

I'm sure manc fans would rather he spoke out against those yanks in charge of their own club.

 

 

Don't you think that's exactly what he is doing, in a circumspect manner?

 

Sir Bobby is a board member at United, so he's hardly in a position where he can directly criticise the Glazers. But what he has done is to criticise owners of a rival football club who have behaved in pretty much exactly the same way.

 

Also he's coming from a time before the relationship between LFC and United was so poisonous, he'll remember how LFC aided United after Munich by loaning players so they could fulfil their remaining fixtures, and that Matt Busby was a former Liverpool captain.

[Jonny83]

I'm sure manc fans would rather he spoke out against those yanks in charge of their own club.

 

Could be another reason to speak out to be fair. If our Yanks win and the doomsday scenario plays out, it could set a precedent for them being utterly fucked once bacon face retires and if they have their equivalent of our 2009/10 season it could set in a similar chain of events.

I agree, but look at the criticism of Kenny not speaking out earlier.

 

That lot would feel pretty much the same way I'd imagine.
