Surely the FA will have to fix this so we get them in the 3rd round, if they make it through? Although if it’s drawn at Old Trafford, we should expect an empty away end…

Glorious. Simply Glorious.
Class as normal on ROM. The FA, fix it? yes yes.Poetic justice I feel.
Yeah there is the quandry, an empty away end? Decisions.
An empty ground would be best.
But let them have their day in the limelight and some money for their coffers to build their new ground.
Several of the players pre match said” we want the “The Big United” the quiet one.
Its like a lottery anyway, but who would not wish them well?
fair play to our little brother`s i always look out to see how my little bro is getting on in football!!!! such a laugh seeing such a police presence around the fc fans late in the game dodgy 3rd goal tho maybe it is written in the stars!!!!
morning!
cant say I like FC that much, of course it is easy to like them when you see how passionate they are, but they are breaking the rule which says support one team till you die.
anyways I saw the last 20 minutes, and the atmosphere was good and the scenes towards the end as well.
I noticed often when the camera viewed the FC United crowd, there was green and gold scarves
I just think they hate( well know) the Glazer so much.
Thats mobilizing a movement.
I wish we could get them out of Old Trafford.
The chance of it happening is close to zero but fingers crossed nevertheless… And I think that they will be happy to make an exception and pay the Glazers for just one game – it will be such a massive occasion for both their ideals and the anti-Glazer movement to miss. Just imagine it, both ends of the pitch singing the same songs.. Not to mention that Stretford End would probably be the quieter one.
My sentiments exactly http://www.trulyreds.com/20101106/a-plea-to-the-fa-please-fix-the-fa-cup-draw/ but give them a home tie so that a draw can be arranged with a replay at Old Trafford. A perfect outcome
FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER is the only team in manchester because they represent Matt Busby’s spirit and morals.
NO, No. I mean yes, but let them beat Citeh first.
On tonights performance from FC united ” Probably” does not enter the equation as the quieter one.
I ask myself if it were to happen, I wonder how many would switch sides? “Of the United faithfull”.
It is a lottery for it to happen, but hells bells there are questions to be asked in the meantime.
To me I just feel utterly ashamed, that i still have the likes of MUTV and still tip money into those robbers coffers, albiet minimal.
How about if they knock out city…
Those must be some of the lads that go to the United away games; such an amazing support.
This is not really fair of “me ” lads I aint a season ticket holder! this is a matter for those lads and lassies. Just a avid reader of financial matters regards United.
I do know right and wrong though.
Enjoy your night lads/ lasses
When do we get to know who they’ll meet in the next round?
is it possible for fergie to farm out the reserves to FCUM for the next round!? …
I think that they will come – and it will be the first time that old trafford had 76,000 Manchester United supporters – rather than 73,000 supporters and 3,000 admirers!
Can someone tell me is FC UNITED like Real madrid B side which produces new talents and give them to real madrid Or is United Fc a Seperate club which has nothing to do with united.If the latter is the case i am a bit confused why our fans are giving them so much attention.Seriously guys i dont know about united fc can someone tell me.
Scott, what the fuck are you talking about? If you cared about United so much, you’d have joined them 5 years ago. But no, you’re happy lining Glazer’s pocket.
ive enough love for two…scott the red get off your high donkey………
MUFCUM
well done i went out to my local to watch it, was the only one that had any interest…FA CUP MAGIC
they played out of their skin tonight and the fans where amazing, proper fans proper passion, not like OT…..LEE BARROWS A MATE OF MINE I HOPE YOUR STILL PARTYING!
Fair play to them for tonight and they’re clearly a close bunch of fans, but theres only one United and they can fuck off as far as I’m concerned. So if the Glazers leave will they suddenly become United fans again? They’re no better than Wayne Rooney “fleeing the sinking ship”. MUFC for life.
bigphil2003
alot of the supporters still support MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB…to compare them with rooney is just ridiculous….are you saying they are money grabbing whores?? quite the opposite infact…ii say well fucking done to them and keep er lit MUFCUM
PROUD of ‘em to go this far! I only knew their presence via last season OU free CD…(shame!) Wish ‘em well for the next round…If there is any posibility they meet their Big brother, hope they get home draw (do they have their own ground?) At least the Glazer won’t get anything out of it
@020 luke190, calm down darling, I dont believe the moderator gave his view here.Its simply for you to decide? Read the fucking article.
Like I have always thought and felt most lads tip up and dont actually ” read” digest and take on board the information they are provided with.
At the risk of being an Ass licker again……. No simply” I read!”
@ Ulster, if you have enough love for two. Go and share it with an Ass, you are a Donkey.
Or maybe go and play some erm in the “year two thousand”! lol
enjoy the night.
Christ almighty fucking space cowboys, firing off all over the net. Majik
redscot
you picking a wee keyboard fight r yee??(lol)
should be up this late ya wee bai ye….anyone who slams FCUM is just pretty fuckin sad…well done to them and ther form long continue…
Ulster Red, Im not trying to say they are money grabbers, just that they both see the club ‘going downhill’ and decide theyd rather leave than stick around and help it. They’re perfectly entitled to do that and honestly I do admire the romantic side of it that they’re going back to the roots of football before money tried to ruin it all – but as far as I’m concerned they’ve got nowt to do with us now.
@Ulster try reading the blog mate, and the prevous thread?
I dont really get into a war of words over the net trading insults it dont work with me.
There is only one winner and he aint in Northern Ireland. lmao
Jocks always stick the course, dont you know?
Am sitting here doing ma knitting, christ the nights are drawing am preparing ma wollies for the winter!
redscot
this is the only thread ive looked at tonight…whats your point?? trading insults? where did i in my post insult you? you called me an ass ( i hope in good humour) and the scots never win you should know that lmaollflollmafao bla bla bla
@ Ulster you are drunk, you come on a United blog read your post @ 3.55, its basically disrespectfull.
Dont you kid yourself,Scots always stay the course.
I will be here long after you are gone.
I think the main problem with our fans is that we always bring the topic of glazers.Guys frankly speaking i don’t know why we united fans are talking about another club.We have to support only one team and that is manchester united and not any fc united or dc united.But i would want anyone to tell me about fc united.
bigphil2003
i see hear what your saying, them fellas felt passionaltly enough that there could be no help once the glazers took control…they have made a club through our misfortune of bad ownwership and have been really succesfull and i hope they make it bigtime.
Basically i am smarter more “with it” and intune, Deal with it!
RedScot
how the fuck is it disrespectfull??????? you’l be here after im gone?? aye dead on away back to the brew and ask them what to say next , ive never had an arguement with you untill tonight…nice 1
@ Ash there in lays United’s problem, you are from Asia i guess or the middle east.
You dont get the theft that United are suffering, the sacrifice the FC United lads have had to endure.
To get ” there United Fix” ?
@ ulster red good come back ! NOT
redscot
GEEK!!
As i said and will repeat more and more and more, Speak/ type less, read more about the robbery at United and what the lads at FC United have sacrificed for you, me and United.
Get the Glazer out out out.
Goodnight.
@red scot
Yeah i am asian but even we guys love united like you do I again say i dont a thing about united fc and i want to know about them like i asked in my earlier post @3:46.Can you tell me about them what sacrifices they are doing.
RedScot
i know your not away
goodnight x
Ash, they are a bunch of United supporters who were disgusted by the Glazers using our club. They also hate how football has changed and is no longer for the ‘hardcore’ support. No standing, no drinking, no singing, only politically correct banners. Season ticket prices going through the roof. Atmosphere which makes Highbury seem alive. In short, football is no longer what it used to be and these fans decided that enough was enough and they should try to reclaim the soul of the club. So, they started all over again. In non-league football and have been promoted 3 or 4 times I think. Now, they are even raising money to build their own stadium.
The fantastic thing about their club is that its truly by the fans and for the fans. It’s affordable, the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic (from what I’ve heard) and the club is owned by the fans. One fan, one vote – like Barcelona. Some of them are nutters and think they are better than the fans who have not been able to leave United for the love of the club. But most of them are decent fans, many still form the core of our away support and still love United.
20legend
Amen
@20legend
Thanks mate for the information.
So what i understand they are making sacrifices for bringing the old days of football,which is good but how does it help manchester united.They are an independent club.I am not hating fc united .We are manchester united biggest club in the world,now just because some piece of crap owners(glazer) owns our club we should not support other club.
If in the future these two teams clash which team would we support.There would be many fans who would be supporting both the teams and there would be some who would be cheering for fc united just because they hate glazers.So what i will do is abolish the unity of united fans.They would become divided and thats what worries me.
I am not sure whether this fc united thing would help our club manchester united.
Manchester united forever
I personally don’t know how I feel about FC United. I believe that United is bigger than Sir Alex, bigger than the team, bigger than 99 and 96 and 08, bigger than Old Trafford and bigger than trophies or greedy twats like Rooney. United is an identity, a badge we wear with pride and honour. To me it says that I can feel the pain and the joy of United fans throughout our history. That there is something about United’s ideals and values which I see in myself and that is why I am a United fan. For me, its obvious that these FC United fans left simply because they couldn’t bear to see what was happening to that identity. You cannot blame them for that and you have to respect the depth of feeling required to do something like that. Nobody freezes their ass off at Gigg Lane in January on a lark, I can tell you that.
But as someone else said, what happens when we finally get rid of the Glazers? Does FC die and do they all return to United? I don’t think so. How do you justify leaving United then? It’s a wrench. You either feel like you are betraying your first love or you feel impotent as the yanks rape this wonderful club. It is impossible to choose. As someone who lives across the ocean, I haven’t really had to choose and I can’t really say what I would have chosen. I just know that I understand and respect FC for what they are trying to do. The most painful thing would be is if we allow a hatred or rivalry to fester. I hope that one day I can proudly tell my kids that there are only two big clubs at Manchester; MUFC and FCUM. If the magic continues and FC come to Old Trafford, I just know that there won’t be any losers that day. Either way, United wins.
*So what it will do
Hmm, their kit is better too ..
Fucking fantastic I say. Surely those lads still love United, but truely hate the Glazers. I honestly admire them loads and this was a great victory. I’ve always put MUFC first, and my heart won’t let me do otherwise, buy I’ll support FCUM (so long as we don’t play them) 110% during this cup run.
20legend
I hear you. I particularly hate when fans of United (both ones) bash each other. It would be totally ridiculous if a rivalry between the two United ever came into place.
Cool kit. Good luck to them.
Good Luck to them. Hope they progress further, but not at the expense of their big brothers though!!
What about their club crest? Is it the same? I dunno, but from the shady video, it looked like a similar crest to MUFC!! Can anyone pls enlighten me?
@Red Typhoon
According to wikipedia, this is their crest:

ps: The stats in the end of the clip is stunning: 114 goals/150 games for 2 years each at Man Utd and Madrid.
Now this was an illegal goal, but I wonder how many of journos will chose to focus on that and how many will go for the emotional story
Look at what playing for city does to you;http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3214583/Carlos-Tevez-has-been-seeing-a-shrink-for-depression.html

@20legend
“I don’t know how i feel about FC United”
I sympathise with that statement!
I mentioned on the previous thread of my sadness that we had lost 2,000 or so of
our most vociferous supporters, the ones that used to ensure OT rocked come what may.
The season tickets they gave up were re-allocated to the “corporate hospitality” brigade-
mostly in the Stretford End- and hence you often have the morgue like atmosphere at OT.
What i do know is that these guys sing for United (the real one) non stop during their own games
and the fans form a good chunk of our away support.
Some of these people have supported United for 50 years.
I feel that a huge majority of United fans sympathise and retain goodwill to FC United but stop short
of anything further.
Hope they do well, their passion leaves the whole country standing.
@Chicharito14
Haha! You couldn’t make this up! “This is how it feels to be city”, part 11.
Great game, with all the romance of the cup. Live in Sydney these days. Watched it this morning live on Setanta, first time I’ve seen a full FC United game. My brother goes to the odd match at Gigg Lane, he said it’s a great atmosphere with a lot of passionate supporters, from that game I’d have to agree. Well done FC United. Still only ONE LOVE for me….UNITED!!!!
@Chicharito14: I understand you as a United fan but I think it goes too far now. He is just human and deserves a sympathy.
brilliant.. it’s gonna be so weird if they are drawn with manutd. everyone’ll probably sing the same songs. LUHG!
Evra wants to leave… lol
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=839218&sec=transfers&cc=4716
Looks like slow news day…
The fuck is with all this hatred going on here and harsh words exchanged. We all support Manchester United, sure FCUM has different views, but I agree with most of them, now everything is about money and it is ruining the game. I am glad these lads qualified for the 3rd round and would be most happy to clash with them, if possible in 2nd round. We all have the same message, LOVE UNITED HATE GLAZER
Bunch of Judas scum.
None of them are ever welcome at One Trafford.
There’s only one United.
Great to see them succeed with a not-so-meager budget and HUGE support from the locals. Makes me cry and feel happy for them…hope they’ll face Man Utd in the FA Cup real soon. GGMU!
Giggsys Chest Wig –
Scum? What the fuck are you talking about?!! Some of us can’t afford to go to Old Trafford anymore, plus most of us who follow FC still watch United and still support them, the only difference is we don’t want to line Glazers pockets then start bitching about how we want Glazer out. If all United supporters followed the example of FC the Glazers would be gone by now. Don’t spin a line about how difficult it is to give up your season ticket at OT because you’re just feeding the Glazers greed further. I’ll still go to United away matches if I can (and yes I’m aware there’s a 3% fee that goes to the bastards) but I’d much rather go to an FC game than OT.
This is how it feels to be FC
This is how it feels to be home
This is how it feels when you don’t sell your arse to a knome, arse to a knome
If you don’t go to Old Trafford because you can’t afford it, are you still a United fan? Of course you are, because it’s what counts in your heart, and what you believe in. Many fans simply can’t afford to watch Big United anymore, so what do you do? Support FC,
Everyone knows the atmosphere at Old Trafford is dying. There’s only Liverpool, City or big european nights that get the crowd going, the real fans who wanna sing and stand get told to sit down. With the majority of fans in the ground sitting on their arse, respectfully applauding the team.
A few weeks ago, United were 2-0 up to West Brom, but lost the lead to 2-2. With 5 minutes to go, fans had left, nobody was cheering the team on, the game stayed 2-2. Last night at FC, United were 2-0 up, but went to 2-2. The fans stayed until the end, cheering for their team and a winner was scored. There was a time in 1999, when United could never be ruled out, the crowd seemed to give the team a boost when they most needed it.
There’s some real fans still at Old Trafford, but not many. I don’t care if you go every week if you don’t sing your heart out.
Gotta say fucking enjoyed that game last night and THAT is how OT should be , not just away games. Singing for ninety minutes. Quality. Call me hypocritical but liked that last night. The fucking “I am an FC fan” is quality. and “still sing citys gonna die , TWO UNITED’S BUT THE SOUL IS ONE”
Mannings – Much better put. Spot on. Some of the cunts sat around me need to fuck off and do one. One cunt abuses players from start to finish.
Also gotta sa their kit is nicer than ours!! Also gotta say the keeper DID have the ball and the FC lad DID push the defender out the way!!
I must say, they’ve put a different light on this week’s usual pre-match build up for me. Plenty to think about and loads of publicity coming their way, no doubt. Lots of people asking questions like ‘what would happen post current owners’, ‘why jump ship’, etc. The daily mirror’s feature dishing out the Rooney weekly wage and average FC gate receipt figures illustrate how much things have changed since the Premier League people invented football. I despise those little History features they have on Sky talking like 1990′s is real history. Then the commentators dish out irrelevant facts that distort the truth and brainwash well meaning newer fans across the globe. It’s all so bloody politically correct when it suits it but for me, you don’t get much more politically INCORRECT than LEGALLY ALLOWING INBRED FINANCE GEEKS WITH NO CARE FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OR HISTORY OF THE CLUB TO BUY THE WHOLE THING WHEN THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.
Well said Rai & Mannings and speaking as a regular at OT, I can honestly say that I’ve not come across many with chestwig’s opinion.
Good luck to FC in the next round.
Oy, Glazer,
Look I know you want £80 for this ticket but I’ve only got £15 so here’s what’s going to happen: I’ll give you £15 and borrow the rest. The outstanding £65 will accrue massive interest, which obviously needs to be paid, so I’ll borrow more and happily pay off that interest (slowly because I might want to buy some food and Cigs). If it goes tits up we’ll just forget the whole thing, I’ll walk away having paid £15 for an £80 ticket and all that debt shit will be your responsibility.
Fair play to the FC lads, for what they are putting together and trying to achieve but for me there is only one club and that will never change. I couldnt just start to support some other team even if they are a branch off of our mighty club. Thats just my opinion tho and I’m not having a pop at those that do follow FC!!
Well done to FC…Just loved the crowd going berserk and celebrating with a passion…How I wish OT could be a cauldron like that everytime.. ..
RedScot Ulster Red
What are yous two waffling about? Be happy in thy self lads.
simply amazing
Congratulations. I know they will forever have United in their hearts.
My feelings with FC united is mixed like many here, because yes they can say they love United too much to see it bleed in the hands of the Glaizers, but at the same time, it also means they left United to bleed without putting up some fight. Does this imply they are fans who ditch the boat at the first sign of trouble? Subjectively yes. But that is not what I am suggesting here. I still think, the best way out is to seek out help from the authorities, together with a solid and (Non Flame Fanning Group) to put together a reasonable bid to takeover the club.
Liverpool have been cheering their new takeover, but their owners just put a director on top of their manager without notice. Goes to show they are no different from some owners out there, trying to control the team but taking away the manager’s authority. We won’t want that definitely.
@Willie I aint waffling, neither was Ulster red, he just does not follow the blog!
I have this bastard of any attitude i read what is presented to me, both in the articles and the lads comments.
@Rai, great post, that was i was talking about. if you read the previous thread, taking the piss out of the Glazer.Its maybe to subtle for most and giving credit to your and the other FC united supporters.
Good luck in the second round draw of the Fa cup.
@ Ash mate, I realize a lad tried to explain to you, what I was going on about, on the right hand side of the blog you will see a caption”reclaim our club”. Click on it and read. Cheers.
Watching that game was like going back to the 70s when the Stretford End was packed by 1:30 and the ground rocked for hours. Those days are gone forever in the new world of football so I’d just say to FC fans, enjoy it while you can.
I love everything about the FC United principles but loathe the reasons that led to their creation. However, don’t just link this to the Glazers. Utd’s soul was lost when we floated on the stock market. From that day, we were always been vulnerable to this kind of takeover. With the increasing popularity in (corporate) footie, it was only a matter of time before some wankers saw the profit to be made in Utd.
i don’t know about anyone here but i have chosen to admire and support them and their quest BUT MANCHESTER UNITED remains the club i support and i hope that they never EVER become bigger than united.
