Tonight on BT Sport - Man U film

[Earl of Leven]

From 1968 EC win to relegation in 1973...how did it happen, why the fall from grace and why so swiftly.

Looks interesting.....10.30pm

 

[Pennine Walk]

Good heads up i saw this advertised and want to record it. As per id forgotten.

 

[Blue As]

[Brian Laudrup]

Already set for recording, it looks interesting

 

[Stags Blue]

Was it not 1974 they got relegated?

 

[Superrangers]

Winners don’t quit when they start winning. That’s kind of what Man U did. It’s sad when you heard Best talking about it, saying they felt they had achieved what they set out to and that was it. He was 21. They never replaced the likes of Charlton and Law.

 

[BL11]

Sky + for me.

Watch over the weekend, but thanks for the heads-up @Earl of Leven

 

[Charing]

We played and beat them at Old Trafford the season they were relegated. They were a poor lot that day (this of course was the infamous match already well covered on these boards).

Spoiler Alert!

 

[Earl of Leven]

Is it true that much of their association with RC Church and Ireland was Busby? You never know who to believe but I was told he was a devout RC and tried hard to make them an RC club.

I have seen it quoted that they, in 1902, almost changed their name to Manchester Celtic. No idea how much truth there is to the allegation?

What association?

 

[Marstonbear]

It's probably less so now but in the late 80s, United were far from popular at Ibrox. Certain ditties were sung, let's leave it at that

Add Paddy Crerand to that list

 

[CamBluNoo]

Carol Vorderman states quite openly that she supports Manure because she is a romanist much like Cilla and Everton.

 

[Earl of Leven]

What association?

he made their club chaplain an RC priest, and had an RC altar put in etc...

 

[TheFamous1972]

Man Utd and Liverpool are heavily connected with that mob which is probably why I’ve never liked either of them if truth be told.

They wish. 99.9% of their supporters couldn't care less about Celtic.

I don't know about the 1902 thing but I remember watching some documentary or other about Man U. It said that the Manchester clubs never really fell along religious or sectarian lines the way they did in Glasgow and Liverpool. With Busby as manager Catholics in Manchester began leaning towards United more than previously but it was not a substantial change in allegiance. Others on here perhaps know more about it.

 

[BobbyShearer55-65]

Hopefully they get relegated again.

My da despised him, but not half as much as last rites Busby. An overrated, anti Rangers ***.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Rangers are my love, Liverpool are my bit on the side.

%^*& Man U all day long.
