    Good to see the team have joined the fans in their campaign to not play on Mondays.

    0-2 down after 10 minutes.

    They didn't have much choice if they wanted to stay in the FA Cup.

    Pretty selfish really, the TV money means a lot to a club like theirs, plus what else were they going to be doing on a Monday night, watching Corrie?

    It means nothing to a club like theirs (unless you mean Chesterfield).

    Quite ironic that they're taking advantage of the TV coverage to promote their stance against the, er, TV coverage

    What do you have against them. Surely it's a good thing that they're trying to fight the ever tightening control the media has over football and how's it run?

    I've nothing against them and I would support their romantic stand if I were not a realist.

    Sounds a bit aloof but TV money drives the game.

    Isn't FC United of Manchester a fan-run club? If so, how can it be selfish?

    You're assuming the ones kicking up a fuss are the owners.

    The football for fans banner looks like the type of banner you'd see some 13 year old girl holding up outside a 1 Direction concert, which is fine, but doesn't really make you think a grown up is responsible for it. On the plus side though, the one next to it has a correctly used apostrophe so they've avoided that one.
