Given I only get to the ground about ten minutes before kick-off, I missed the opportunity to buy the latest edition of Red Issue which went on sale today. Why? Because the GMP, without receiving a single complaint, deemed the picture on the back page “potentially offensive” so went about confiscating it and threatening the sellers with arrest.
Ch Supt Mark Roberts said anyone found selling the fanzine or displaying the image faces prosecution. He said: “Shortly before kick-off we were made aware that a Manchester United supporters’ fanzine being sold outside Old Trafford featured a potentially offensive image. Officers are now seizing the fanzines and in consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service we will take appropriate action against anyone either found selling this particular fanzine or provocatively displaying the image in public.”
Fans were refused entry in to the game if they didn’t hand over their copy of the fanzine. It is interesting to note that within this edition they had been critical of the GMP, which surely was completely coincidental and obviously had nothing to do with this complete overreaction.
You can still buy the ‘banned’ copy online. The UK, Ireland/Europe, and the rest of the world.

Link doesn’t work
Funny, but maybe a bit strong. Doesn’t excuse seizing them, which surely they could be sued for in depriving Red Issue sales revenue?
Ireland/Europe link doesn’t work
Yet again the Stasis, formally known as the police, pigs, plod etc… strike. Does anyone remember when this shit hole used to have free speech and free expression? it’s clearly a joke, just like the police force.
So are GMP going to give the fans back the money they spent buying Red Issue today then? Complete overreaction.
Speaking to racistpool TV after the game,roy Evans could barely hide his frustration with the performance:”Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs must have thought it was their birthdays today; they were never put under any pressure from the Liverpool midfield whatsoever. Scholes must have thought ‘this is just a practice match for me’ – no one laid a glove on him. I know you can’t tackle these days but no one got anywhere near him”.
fuck you racist cunt rat boy
The Suarez handshake incident wasn’t that bad, its been blown out of proportion. On south America not shaking hands is a compliment and his grandfather also had hands.

I didn’t get one myself but did have a cheeky giggle when the lads stood next to me outside pointing to the back cover of one they had and were laughing. Harsh in this case I suppose, but then red issue always takes the piss to the limits. Loved it when Evra got before the stretty end after the final whistle. Suarez, despicable racist cunt.
It’s never your fault, it’s never your fault, ALWAYS the victim, it’s never your fault.
Pricks.
Fuck me England becoming a police state,that shouldn’t be allowed
Andy Kong
I was still in Platts. Quality.
Still say the saurez shirts Liverpool players wore at Wigan were far worse.
Gutted I didn’t find the bloke selling the Evra face masks… I really wanted one!
“Potentially offensive”
You could say the same thing about almost anything in existence. For example:
I could find the Beatles song “She Loves You” offensive because I am a gay man and it assumes that all men are attracted to women.
I could find the Teletubbies offensive because there is no blue one and I am a blue person.
I could find the Smurfs offensive because they are all blue and blue people have been negatively stereotyped.
Also the word Liverpool is offensive to me.
I am part of a religion that forbids any mention of it, a religion that many millions of people around the world also follow.
When will the authorities take us seriously?
The word Liverpool is deeply offensive to me and other Manchester United believers, it should be totally banned.
I wise man once said pigs wear blue.
By those standards, wearing a Liverpool #7 shirt should be considered a crime! But then again, anyone supporting the racist cunt is not intelligent enough to be considered a criminal mind.
Nice to know my tax contributions are going towards fighting…. what are the GMP fighting again?
Potentially offensive? Is that why far right groups with links to violence are allowed to march past Piccadilly Station whenever they want? Gotta love the police, they actually wonder why they’re disliked, not trusted and/or hated.
How about catching some paedophiles????
You know what you are…
I see the Stasi are still going strong. Freedom…..don’t make me LAUGH. It’s just an illusion.
Sellers should have stood their ground; police don’t determine what is offensive and what is not; society does that through the legislature; fight this mancs – or you’ll be walking up to O.T. at gunpoint in a couple of years! (like the Shamrock Rovers supporters did against the Israeli side Bnei Yahuda 2 years ago). http://info-wars.org/2010/08/12/mossad-guns-in-tallaght/
(and if there’s any dumb “police officers” logged-on, when the New World Order’s finished with you they’re going to make you redundant and steal your pension; that’s why someone as dumb as you was selected to wear a uniform in the first place).
upsetting that they are allowed and can do such things but glad they did. if the stretford end was packed full of united fans wearing KKK masks it would only make us look as classless as suarez and liverpool
@eddietheRed – thats crazy! If their players are in that much “danger” STAY THE FUCK HOME!
@manci yanki – thats actually a good point to be fair, as the United crowd wearing masks would be the image making the news, not Evra skipping with joy past Suarez. I’d still like to see the police fight proper crime and not threaten established fanzine sellers with arrest for sod all. Perhaps if the FA and the media dealt more firmly with LFC our supporters wouldn’t feel the need to take matters into their own hands.
@Paul Parker
We were at home! And the important point Paul is that it’s our home; nobody else’s; not Bnei Yahuda’s home and certainly not the home of Mossad; if you want to know who controls your country I suggest you google the name “Roth$child” into your search engine and observe the horrible shit that spews forth.
Try reading up on the link I posted (if it’s not already censored in your country). If you want to understand the meaning of the word “crazy” you need only look into a mirror!
*if THEIR players are in that much “danger” THEY should stay at home.
*occupied territories.
Ha! Sorry Paul Parker,
I’m swallowing a bit of humble pie here; pardon my idiocy; I guess i got so caught up in beating Loserpool today I got carried away and forgot my manners – apologies, etc..
wtf anybody know of a way to buy this in the states? would love to have a memo of how big a cunt that scouse suarez is.
Manki yanky. We would have to have exceedinly small faces to wear those masks considering Red Issue is about six inch by four inch!
“Its never your fault , its ne ever your fault , always the victim, its never your fault”.
Welbeck and Evans were superb yesterday.
How very dare Pat have the temerity to celebrate in front on the stretty. Abu cunts.
Bought mine already!
Paul Parker,you’re despicable!!!Don’t bring that Palestinian/Israeli bullshit here,go feed the starving African children who really need aid.I guess it was the same during the munich olympics.Fuck u and ur stupid politics!!!This site isn’t for that bullshit you dumb ass.
As for Eddie,pls quit that who controls your country crap.Everyone knows that oil controls policies and politics and guess who has the oil?This is not a political site,you guys owe Scott an apology for this political crap you just posted.Talk about united and not about the mossad,mi5,cia,God,Allah or any rubbish that tickles your fancy.
I hate Suarez and the klanfield crowd… but those masks are utterly tasteless and I think that those responsable are a disgrace to united fans all around, we are far better than the scousers, there is no need to sink to their level.
want to hear the latest!
The Klansmen are trying now to say that the ANGLE of Evra’s hand shows HE WAS NOT GOING to shake Sorearse’s hand and only put his hand up when Sorearse withdrew his hand
I mean what else the fucking angle?
Klu Klux Kenny classic on Sky. How dare anyone BLAME my bitch Sorearse for anything that happened at OT today?
Right Klu Klux Kenny then who was to blame? Nelson Mandela? the Pope?
@andykong
Hahaha! Thanks for making me laugh.
“Potentially offensive?” WTF is that? A slight whiff of ‘police state’ to the whole affair.

@Udhala – you what? Im not responsible for what others type! I bet you’re upset because I typed two words huh? **occupied territories**
WELL THEY ARE FUCKING OCCUPIED
I live in England, and if the Germans decided to invade later today and march me from my home at gun point, guess what? I’d fight them on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields, in the streets, in the hills, and I’d never fucking surrender – SELF DETERMINATION is my right as a human being you fucking fascist – now go fuck yourself!
Finally, here is some degree of fair play from the Daily Mail:

now this? for god sake when will it stop,
I don’t see what Shamrock Rovers fans’ experience when armed Israeli security guards protected an Israeli team in Ireland two years ago has to do with Red Issue, United, Suarez or anything else associated with this site. My suspicion is that it’s been introduced to slip in a bit of anti-Israeli stuff leading to more sinister anti-semitic material, in line with previous far-right posts seen here in the past, including Holocaust denial. None of this has any place here, and it’s the kind of thing that increasingly deters me from coming onto RoM, which is very sad, for me if for no-one else. And before anyone says it, I am not an uncritical supporter of Israel, nor someone who seeks to silence legitimate criticisms of their government.
Just to be clear on one other point, I think the Red Issue KKK jibe was actually very funny, and it’s absurd that the police in Manchester seized copies.I’d like to know on what legal basis they did so. I hope they have handed the magazines back or will pay for them.
Arabs in north Africa(occupied),Turks in Cyprus(occupied),Americans in America(occupied),Americans in Texas(occupied),in fact most people living where they are now don’t belong there so quit with your anti-Israel bullshit and concentrate on United which is why this site was created.Take your bloody politics elsewhere!!!
Udhala
Today you shout: “concentrate on United which is why this site was created.Take your bloody politics elsewhere!!!”
Yet it is you that is seen to be diverting the thread off-topic. You have a history of that.
On the http://therepublikofmancunia.com/old-trafford-wont-see-any-world-cup-games-in-2018/ thread you entered the discussion on the award of the World Cup to Qatar with “There would be problems if Israel qualify for the 2022WC. Berlin olympics would be childs play.” in a blatant attempt to discuss Israel. Now you are at it again. I think you have posted on 10 threads, and had half-a-dozen blazing rows. Each time, a man showing reason behaves unreasonably.
You seem quite intelligent, yet your behaviour is detrimental to your aims.
Reply politely, a trait you have failed thus far to exhibit.
Smart Alex,I can assure you that you are lying concerning me changing the topic.Pls show me this history you speak about otherwise I’ll say you are a liar.
The discussion on that day concerned the award of the world cup to Qatar which we all said was due to FIFA corruption and I pointed out a real problem.As for your attack on me,I never brought up the occupation and I don’t see you calling Eddie to order.
You might hate Israel but this is definitely not the forum for it,and that is simply what I pointed out.
Udhala
Please stop talking about Israel and falsely accusing people of hate.
It is only you that keeps straying from the topic.
I have already linked a previous comment of yours. Enough is enough.
You are a boring topic. Enough has been said.
Smart Alex,you are also a boring topic.Seems as though you like to come across as all knowing so I ask you.What has the Israeli mossad got to do with manchester united and what is united’s business with occupation?
Stop trying to defend your friend and indirectly insulting me.The last time I commented on this forum was to ask you guys to sheathe your swords and concentrate on United,and it involved you too.Quit trying to run people off thus forum,it ain’t yours and it ain’t a political forum.
Udhala
Please stop talking about Israel on RoM. You have a one-track mind, and it’s not United.
You have been repeatedly asked to drop that topic.
You are wrong about this forum. It is a second home to many of us. You are a transient wum.
Smart Alex,you’re a little fool who feels he knows it all.I never brought up the issue,someone else did and since he’s apparently your buddy you don’t want to tackle him.As for the insults,you’re a very little man.Home to us,you mean people who talk about occupation or what?Your stupidity makes you blind to what Eddie n Paul said right?
Get off my case you twerp,never mentioned your name initially and have no issue with you dumb ass.
Udhala
Your unpleasant demeanor is unwarranted, unattractive and unnecessary.
Your issues are rendered irrelevant by your obvious enmity.
You are spoiling for a fight. You are, by any definition, a wind-up merchant.
A nasty little wum.
Desist, if you truly have no issue.
Udhala
I post many carefully constructed comments on United each day, and regularly update factual information and news for RoM’s community of United fans.
You post once a month, usually about Israel and usually argumentative.
You claim that people want to run you out of here. Perhaps it’s connected.
Smart Alex,you might post everyday but I read everyday and only post when I feel something is bang out of order.I don’t feel the need to make friends cos I have enough outside the cyber world.I never had any issue with you,you prick so get off my back.Besides,what kinda crazy person goes back to the archives???The world cup thingy was so last year,you’re really one sick puppy.
Smart Alex
I think you fit the description of someone who’s spoiling for a fight due to your eagerness to get involved in what obviously doesn’t concern you and in which your name was never mentioned or any referral to you made.
I think you’re a despicable person who has his only friends in the cyber world.I really have no time for a crazy like you,cos while you’re here the world is going on.
I think you hate Jews so any defense of them brings out your true colours,well live with it cos they are in the world to stay.
I’ll keep reading as usual and only comment when people bring up political issues that have nothing to do with united or the topic being discussed,while you keep on doing whatever it is that you do.Prick!!!
Udhala
Yet another abusive contribution from you, intended to belittle and upset.
Wind-up merchant.
You say you “only post when I feel something is bang out of order”
As you bring nothing but complaint, your moans fall on deaf ears, unsure of your validity.
You also asked me to go back to the archives. It takes 1 second, yet you consider me “a crazy person … and a sick puppy” for clicking my mouse 3 times, researching a site known for it’s comprehensive news coverage in the comments section. You should try research, it’s very easy on the Internet. Actually, it is not the action of a crazy man.
That would be you. By your own admission, you only contribute to complain.
Let anybody say anything back, and you become abusive.
You claim victimization, and disappear instead of adding something good while you’re here.
You then return a month later and repeat the cycle.
Repeating failed methods is insanity, according to Albert. I wouldn’t know.
You do.
Smart Alex,
You obviously have a Jewish hate complex,well I don’t.So I see it as my duty as a human being to call anyone that talks against them to order.Go to the appropriate forum and show your anti-semitism.I wonder what concerns the magazine issue of Suarez with the occupation and instead of you doing the same you attack me for pointing it out.It obviously means you support what they said being a Jew hater yourself.
I’ll continue pointing such things out and you can resort to your usual diatribe,it won’t affect me one way or the other.Have fun,Jew hater.
Udhala
You lie abominably when you claim that I have any form of complex with regard to Israel, or any other land, culture, religion or even species.
That it is obvious to you while absolutely non-existent is a testimony to your one-eyed zealotry.
You are the only one with an agenda here.
Lying about me can hardly further any fair cause of yours, so what is your agenda?
So far you have attacked Paul Parker, Giles Oakley and me. This rings a bell.
Smart Alex,
I overestimated your intelligence,Giles Oakley comments was concerning the tone of Parker and Eddie’s posts and not mine.Get it straight for once in your life!!!!
I have no business with you as you contribute nothing to my standard of living or my views and your staunch support of the anti-Israel views of Paul and Eddie shows you to be one of them.So there is no lie there.Or did you do a King Kenny and not see what they posted?
Udhala
I never said or implied what Giles Oakley comment was concerning. That straw man fails.
On review, it still appears to me that Giles Oakley likely spoke at 18:03 because of eddieTheRed’s comments. His suspicion was that “it’s been introduced to slip in a bit of anti-Israeli stuff”. You commented next, 45 minutes later. You listed some territories, then said “… quit with your anti-Israel bullshit and concentrate on United which is why this site was created.Take your bloody politics elsewhere!!”
It certainly still seems obvious that you were telling Giles to quit bullshitting about anti-Israel comments. It is you that failed to get it straight, I am only an observer of that exchange. Best you learn to express clearly if you really were replying to some other comment.
I have shown zero support for Eddie or Paul. You again lie with malicious intent.
Paul did not express anti-Israel views. It is you that keeps mentioning Israel.
This is a United forum. All you ever do is complain about Israel.
Enough already.
Smart Alex,
Like I said once again,I have overestimated your intelligence.I replied Parker who said stuff about occupation and not Giles Oakley.Stop behaving like Kenny and see it clearly.
Udhala
You seem drunk now, and unable to converse. Sober up.
Smart Alex,
That’s now going personal.It’s enough,you’ve made your point and I’ve made mine.You obviously don’t see things my way and I won’t see things your way so let it rest.
Udhala
What has ‘personal’ got do with alcohol? You are the only one who has been personal.
You have repeatedly lied about me. You have falsely accused me of beliefs that I simply do not have, and have never in any way indicated. You continually tar me with lies about my views on Israel. I have no views on Israel. I live in Africa, and have only met one Israeli, a traveling artist. I have not been to the Middle East or the Far East or the States, and don’t expect to. Every word you have declared about my views on Israel is a heinous lie.
You are a disgrace, and you set your own agenda back each time you post.
Smart Alex,
You’re the one who is a disgrace,who likes inserting himself in what does not concern him.Are you Eddie or Parker’s lawyer or just someone that sticks his nose in what doesn’t concern him.And as for calling you an anti-Israaeli person,it’s obvious because of the way you lept to the defense of someone that made an anti-Israel comment in a matter that you have absolutely no business with.
It’s obvious you’re trying your damn best to hide your Jewish hate otherwise you would have told Parker that such words have no place on this forum.By association you are one of them,regardless of what you say.I make bold to call you an anti-semite and a dangerous one at that because you can disguise it so beautifully.
When you tell Parker and Eddie that their statements are unwarranted the same way Giles Oakley told them,then and only then would I say you are not one.You my United supporting friend are a Jew hater.
Udhala
You lie, and lie and lie.
I have not defended Paul or Eddie.
I am not anti-semitic.
You’ve done more damage to Israel on this thread than any other poster in the last 3 years.
You repeatedly declare people anti-semitic when they aren’t and have shown no sign of it.
You falsely accuse as a self-defense, and thereby allow any ant-Semitic that does post absolute freedom from being identified, for people are sick of all your false accusations.
You are a despicable false-accusing liar.
No heaven for you, despicable liar. Repent or you will surely rot in hell.
Smart Alex,
You my friend are the liar.What brought your involvement in this if it wasn’t to defend Paul and Eddie after I had called them out on using the word occupation and involving the Israeli team who came to Ireland with military escorts?
My friend,you are a clever Jew hater.I stand by that claim because if you weren’t,you would have cautioned them on the words they used(the way Giles Oakley did) and probably chastised me for using harsh words(it’s called not taking sides)but due to your blind Jew hate,you had to attack only my humble self and protect your Jew hating friend’s.
It’s okay,even Jew haters love United cos it transcends all these.Keep up the Jew hate man,like I said “your type are the worst cos you’re so good at hiding it”.
Udhala
You bandy about terrible slurs like “Jew hater” and “anti-Semitic”
You spell ‘Semitic’ incorrectly nearly every time. You are not Jewish.
It is you that is filled with hate.
Your endless lies are very upsetting. You are a wum.
You are only on RoM to make trouble. You are a lying wind-up merchant.
My involvement has been limited to discussing your record of trouble-making on RoM.
I was dismayed by your rude response to Giles fair comment on “anti-Israeli stuff”
You challenged his view, responding to his concern with: “quit with your anti-Israel bullshit and concentrate on United which is why this site was created.Take your bloody politics elsewhere!!”
I remembered that you have done this before, and after simple research found that you occasionally post on RoM, and it’s almost always about Israel, not about United.
I confronted you, and you admitted that you only post to complain.
You are a wind-up merchant who adds nothing to RoM.
A nasty, lying wum.
Smart Alex,
I did not miss the spelling man,you are an anti-semite.Go check the spelling man.You keep trying to tie my words to Oakley and I keep telling you it was addressed to Parker and Eddie but since you’ve been found out,you’ve refused to come to terms with that fact.
Your hatred shows in your stubborn refusal to acknowledge that Paul and Eddie are wrong.You my friend are a lying piece of crap.
Udhala – that you have lying pieces of crap for friends says much about you.
I am not your friend. Not while you behave so badly.
You falsely and randomly accuse people of hating Jews.
This makes you appear paranoid, and makes their suffering seem false.
You damage their reputation and credibility with your false accusations and lies.
The worst part of this, is that you only do it as a wind-up.
False accusations do not help Israel.
Of course, that was never your objective.
Smart Alex,
You’re still here?Keep up the hate bro.Calling you friend doesn’t make you my friend cos I don’t make cyber friends lest they turn out to be despicable people like you.
Carry on doing what you know how to do best,have fun.
Smart Alex,
You defended anti-Israeli commenters and that makes you one of them.Why don’t you condemn what Eddie and Paul said?If you can’t do so like Giles Oakley did,it means you support what they said.And by association,you become one of them.It’s not rocket science man.
Udhala
Giles was the first poster to say “anti-Israel”
You were the second to say it. 45 minutes after Giles, directly below his comment you said:
“quit with your anti-Israel bullshit and concentrate on United which is why this site was created.Take your bloody politics elsewhere!!”
You have no right to tell Giles what to say. You always talk about Israel.
You repeatedly lie. You false accuse, and label slanderously.
You are a wind-up merchant.
Smart Alex,
So if someone posts something below what another person has posted,in your world it means the person must be referring to the direct previous poster?Let me be explicitly clear for the last time,I was replying Eddie and Parker.Maybe you misunderstood me,I sincerely want us to end this here.I replied them cos of their reference to the occupation and his statement of them staying at home if they have to come with guards.
Please end this argument,sorry for calling you an anti-semite.That was out of order.Have a nice day.
Udhala
Make one thing clear please.
You have now said sorry for calling me anti-semite.
Do you agree that I am not ‘anti-semite’, and I am not a ‘Jew-hater’ ?
Smart Alex,
I agree all the way.Peace???
Udhala
I am still sad that you chose to to deliberately falsely accuse me of a heinous crime.
Especially as you claim to be heartily against said crime.
You have singlehandedly made each reader of this thread’s comments more sceptical of future claims of prejudice from genuine protectors of Judaism and Israel.
That you admit to your failings and apologise does you immense credit.
You do need to ensure that it doesn’t happen again somewhere else in your life, or here.
That said; Peace!
Udhala
Good day! I will answer your question posted at 17:19, which was:
“So if someone posts something below what another person has posted,in your world it means the person must be referring to the direct previous poster?”
The answer is no.
The reason that it STILL seems very clear that you were responding to Giles, is as follows:
- The key word stated in Giles contribution was “anti-Israel”
- This key word had not been used previously
- 45 minutes later, you attacked that word, saying ” … quit with your anti-Israel bullshit …”
You can chose to learn from this experience, or not.
If you want, continue to believe that you were clear, and that I am stupid to not see it.
Alternatively, improve yourself by recognising quality feedback.
