Those comments get my effing goat...

'Fans that had been waiting in Piccadilly Gardens all day were unimpressed.

One said: "This is absolutely ridiculous - there's Rangers fans throwing balls and cans at each other because the game's not on.

"We've been sat here since 12 o'clock waiting on the game coming on. The coverage started at seven o'clock and then five minutes later the game's off.

"It's an absolute shambles, shame on Manchester, shame on Manchester - it's let the country down."

Another supporter added: "The people of Manchester have been fantastic - but the officials behind this are a total disgrace.

"Some people are really angry they've spent a lot of money - maybe £4,000 to £5,000 - to come down here for this." '

Those screens were a concession on the part of the authorities. They're not a right! Demand for tickets outstripped supply; bad luck. It was your choice to drive 250 f**king miles without a ticket, don't blame everyone else when you can't see the match!
