Then [the Glazer brothers] ate dinner in a corporate suite in one of the stands overlooking the [Manchester United] playing field. Outside, the protesters were loudly threatening to murder their father: "How we'll kill him, we don't know; cut him up from head to toe. All we know is Glazer's gonna die." Eventually, riot police arrived with nightsticks and German shepherds and secured the area under one of the stands, around a tunnel designed to give emergency vehicles access to the field.

At about ten-thirty, two vans carrying the brothers emerged from the tunnel. The protesters pounded on the vehicles' roofs and sides and threw stones and bottles. Several were injured as the police, using their dogs and batons, tried to clear a path through the crowd. Finally, the vans sped away....

Perhaps we should start trying to identify potential football-club defenders in a crowd as well as bad dogs and smugglers. When Man U fans get mad...
