Manchester United Supporters Want Their Crisps. Now.

Eight Manchester Supporters were arrested after United’s 2-0 League Cup victory over Barnsley at Oakwell last night.  And where I don’t condone violence or mob behavior, I understand the lengths a person will go to when they just want some Walkers Salt and Vinegar Squares and are in turn asked to be patient.

Trouble began during the match as four United Supporters were arrested after a bit of violent conduct flared around half time.

Apparently, a group stormed the catering area of the ground and left the staff so scared they barricaded themselves behind closed doors as the mob helped themselves to the deliciousness of Walkers crisps and cash from the tills.

Meanwhile, several Barnsley supporters invaded the pitch, bringing only more chaos to the situation.

Said a South Yorkshire Police Spokesperson:

“Police and both football clubs were disappointed by the conduct of a minority of fans.  We responded quickly and effectively to a spontaneous disorder caused by a small group of people that had gathered near to the central bar on the North Stand.   Officers in protective uniform were deployed to restore order, disperse the crowd and ensure the safety of staff inside the area.”

The FA is currently investigating the situation and will review CCTV recordings and witness accounts.  All parties involved will face a life ban from live football in the UK.

I really would have to use all my good judgment not to riot for these.

Manna from heaven.
