Manchester Apocalypse: place your bets now!
I want your estimates for the:
(1) death toll
(2) winner of the match
(3) number of times the referee stops the match because of the crowd
(4) incidents of racism (that are reported in the press)
(5) score
The winner gets to choose 5 forum members who will be promptly banned.

(1) Approximately 47,000 (from boredom)
(2) The only people who'll win are those who don't watch Rangers "play"
(3) Zero
(4) 1
(5) 0-0

I'm going to Glasgow on Saturday. I am assured that you are playing to distorted stereotypes: assured, not necessarilly confident.

Re: Manchester Apocalypse: place your bets now!
I'd imagine mild indifference seeing as noone gives a shit about the UEFA Cup.

prepare for a city full of drunks and homeless...
if you stay within the city centre you won't come across the gangs of bored teenagers with nothing to do except fight each other.
I've only been there a couple of times, but that was the impression I got.
(I was assured the stereotypes were wrong too )

After reading the posts in this thread I'd have to answer that with:
UEFA cup final: Glasgow Rangers - Zenith St. Petersburg
Doubt there will be an apocalyps because of that match though, maybe some drunken russians & glasgow people beating eachother up but that's not the end of the world is it?

Re: Manchester Apocalypse: place your bets now!
One of my friends sat in her car at some traffic lights with all the doors locked whilst the nice sports car on her left was trashed. Apparently the owner was forced to get out, and watched as the bastard Picts clambered over his tres cher veh-i-cle and dropped concrete blocks through the windscreen.

If I was in a car, surrounded by hooligans I certainly wouldn't be getting out of the car. I also would not have stopped.
