A drunken Manchester
United fan called 999 "demanding" to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson after
the club's defeat.
Greater Manchester Police
(GMP) were called at 22:30 GMT on Wednesday by a man from Crumpsall after the
team lost to Sunderland in the Capital One Cup.
GMP said it "can be
sad and depressing" when a football team loses a game but asked the public
to "remember that 999 is to be used for emergencies only".
Before I get into it I
urge you to listen to the recording of the conversation because it is
hilarious, at one point the operator asked if he wished to report a crime and
the guy said “the crime is that Man United were absolutely knackered” and when
told to get off the line he asked to be called back.
Still not sure why they haven’t
named and shamed this guy for being such a feckin eejit.
I also love the response
from Greater Manchester Police, I get that you can be a bit sad when your team
loses, but depressed come on if you’re depressed by a football result then
you’ve got your priorities all wrong.
What’s even worse about
this is that it’s been about eight months since United won the league for the
20th time and already one of their fans feels there in enough
trouble for a police intervention.
If United don’t win a
trophy and fail to finish fourth this season, which is a real possibility, what
will this guy do then? If you live near Old Trafford then don’t be surprised to
see a NATO Response Force hovering around if United don’t reach the targets I
mentioned.
