    Also forgot to add Graeme Souness who was part of the commentary team at Old Trafford said he had been patted down entering the ground, something that had never happened to him before

    Can`t see them taking training that far mate tbh.

    It could be some idiots idea of a joke or (heaven forbid) a `dry run`. It doesn`t have to be real to cause all sorts of disruption.

    I suppose it`s unlikely but I really hope they catch the bastard.

    On a lighter note.

    The abandonment of Manchester United’s match with Bournemouth on Sunday caused chaos on the final day of the Premier League season.

    At the time of writing, military officers are assisting the police in dealing with a suspect package at Old Trafford.

    Safety had to be paramount, even if that meant evacuating the stands and sending 75,000 people home.

    It was just particularly unfortunate for one United fan, named Moses, who had travelled all the way from Sierra Leone to attend the match.

    This is Moses. He came from Sierra Leon to watch his first match at Old Trafford. He's distraught.
    3:19 PM - 15 May 2016

    However, according to United fan Ian Stirling, other United supporters rallied round to ensure that Moses could change his flight home and attend the FA Cup final instead.


    Well done the fans. <applause>

    Wouldn't mind that so much it's defusing the bastards that would worry me.

    to pass the practical you put your hands through a hessian screen, the guy on the other end places a device in your hand,you have to name the device then defuse it, get it wrong and you may loose fingers as there is a live det cord primer that will go off

    Imagine doing it in Ulster back in the '70's or '80's before they had the robots.

    One thing I never had to do was defuse a bomb.

    Apparently some plane bound for Mcr has been evacuated in Norway and two suspects arrested. Maybe somebody wants to cause trouble in my city today... Don't they know us northerners don't take to people causing **** on our streets too kindly.

    I'm not gonna even speculate mate, it could be silly kids or anything but nothing would surprise me... Well some things would, like if it turned out to be Fergie who did it.

    I hate that we live in fear in our own nation now, I grew up loving how safe this country made me feel, no earthquakes, no wildfires or Tsunamis... Always safe.

    True enough mate and I know it`s wrong to speculate but I`d still rip the bastards bum fluff beards right off.

    Yes I`ve still had a few.
