Bluerevolution

It was the only way to get actual Utd supporters to fill the vacancies. I applied but having a Mancunian accent ruled me out ! :))

That's very true Murphy, we call them ManUre, Rags or simply the Scum, however most that I know would NEVER call them M****hs and any songs or actions to do with that tragedy is heavily frowned upon by the majority

James, I fully appreciate what your are saying, as an experienced doorman/ security officer (Manchester) I have seen it all. (including having blood filled syringes pulled on me) We need to wait to find out what actually happened on Friday, assumption appears to be that it was all about the party at DHFC. We don't know if that was well supervised, I would think it was to be honest. There is a very good chance that someone annoyed someone else and phone calls were made, speculation I know. The perpetrator/s could well have been from well outside ED and therefore DHFC nor anyone else would have known nor could have done anything about this. I'd love to be able to give a simplistic answer to the knife/gun culture problem but there isn't one. Your earlier comment regarding Sainsburys openning hours wasn't really helpful, staff/security are not insured beyond the confines of the car park and would be trained/told do not under any circumstance pursue/deal with situations beyond those bounds, call the police by all means but do not get involved. Had someone called the police would it have made any difference? I doubt it. Police numbers at that time of night in this area would be negligible. When I worked night security (for a 24hr Tesco in Manchester), each division had and average of 6 officers on duty, I doubt there is much difference here.

I wasn't having a go at kateland, I was unaware that certain establishments kept a database on people incase they make trouble. I can understand Pubwatch schemes, banned from 1, banned from all but pre-emptive?

Pearson, it's life. It's a shame these things happen but it does and has done since the birth of humans. What do we do? Close every where at 10pm and impose a curfew? Chip and DNA test everyone? I know these will come across as flippant but there really is no way that anything can be done. I've lived in various parts of the country and it's the same everywhere. ED is a lovely place but there are no restrictions on bad people entering it

Cheers Miles, at 42 I don't get out much !

May I ask where? If some pub/club wanted my details for a database (that is not for simply letting me know whats coming up) I would not frequent the place, also I'm sure it's illegal.

Well done Notts County, you deserved the draw at the very least- City you were shocking. Anyone want Jo, Viera, Barry and Lescott? Mancini, sort it out fella- all this money and you play players that are just a joke

prefer to call them ManUre tbh :))

.

Anyone want Jo?

Well I'm not going to try and make excuses. If I'd been in Manchester,I know I would have been there is all I can say

Er yes, sorry about that Anna- was tongue in cheek. Aticus, yes pretty disappointing turn out. 27,000 of 5,800 were Leicester fans

Ok Magpie. I'll stop reading articles by well respected journalists and start reading The Sun

Indeed it does

DHkq, Bush and his neo-con cronies had decided to invaded Iraq BEFORE they were in power. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1221.htm If you get the chance look at the document http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/pdf/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf

Magpie, I take it you've never heard of Operation Rockingam? No, not many folk have. "Operation Rockingham cherry-picked intelligence. It received hard data, but had a preordained outcome in mind. It only put forward a small percentage of the facts when most were ambiguous or noted no WMD... It became part of an effort to maintain a public mindset that Iraq was not in compliance with the inspections. They had to sustain the allegation that Iraq had WMD [when] Unscom was showing the opposite." For example, Ritter claimed, Rockingham would leak false information to weapons inspectors but then use the inspections as evidence for WMD: "Rockingham was the source of some very controversial information which led to inspections of a suspected ballistic missile site. We ... found nothing. However, our act of searching allowed the US and UK to say that the missiles existed." Ritter alleged that "Operation Rockingham" assumed a central role within the UK intelligence system in building the case that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities constituted a threat to the UK and the US.

Cheers Keef, taper have a read of this http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Q5bFdpNNB5IC&printsec=frontcover&dq=neil+mackay&source=bl&ots=wOf0sxUwmi&sig=CW8uxZBtNV6MB_qt5Phs515Sl14&hl=en&ei=PXc1TeOlNo6whQerhoXSCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAzha#v=onepage&q&f=false especially from pg 19 onwards
