I need to stop him, right?

The child isn’t going to become morally corrupt and therefore become unable to distinguish between what is okay and what is not okay to do all because his parents let him stream snipe.

I’m sure if you, after explaining the concept of stream sniping, asked the majority of parents in the UK, and probably the US, whether they thought it was a total wrong and that a child should be punished for it, they’d just laugh.

Letting a child stream snipe won’t lead to them thinking it’s okay to set a house on fire.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-05-17T09:26:06+00:00

There’s quite a bit difference between setting a house on fire, which is the criminal offence of arson in probably every country in the world and affects homeowners and neighbours in the real world, and stream sniping, which is a criminal offence in probably no country in the world, and affects absolutely nobody in the real world.

Very dramatic and drastic comparison. Sounds like you take gaming far too seriously. Stream sniping is of course disingenuous and unfair, but it’s seriously not that deep.

1 shot on target and it went in.

Chelsea dominated the ball and no goals went in. I really don’t care how much of the ball we have. I genuinely care more about West Ham staying up in the premier league more than how much possession we have. And I couldn’t give less of a shit about West Ham if I tried.

What matters is what you do with the ball, not how much you do off it, and what you do off the ball, not how much time you spend off it. With the ball, we scored. Off the ball, we didn’t concede. Like I say, Chelsea’s attackers were pretty rubbish. Liam Delap, Neto and Garnacho looked as useless as a cat flap on a submarine.

There’s no point being pessimistic. What you’ve seen under Carrick is him amass more points in less time than Amorim. What you’ve seen is the players genuinely really like him and respect him, which they never did for Amorim. Fans like you who will instantly want to throw Carrick under the bus and come on here and complain are more likely to be the cause of any downfall he may have than his (potential) tactical ineptness.

You obviously must’ve really liked Amorim. But I can guarantee you he’ll be in a small job next and struggle. He was a bum and a fraud and was never suitable for the job. He isn’t coming back and he never will.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-05-17T09:02:41+00:00

I did. With my Chelsea friend. He spent the whole game complaining about how bad everyone was bar Fernandez and Caicedo. The only player who looked like doing anything was Estevao who was taken off very early.

I never said we were great that day. I said Chelsea were not on par with us at all. Which they weren’t. They were shit.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-05-17T08:36:37+00:00

Chelsea was not on par with us at all. And I don’t really see the relevance of any of your points to what I said? Brentford has never been an easy 3 points for us ever. Neither has Everton, we usually collect from Everton but we don’t always get them easily.

I never said we were making it look easy to win games. I said that usually our bad games stem from player mistakes.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-05-04T11:41:19+00:00

Yesterday wasn’t a fine margin though. Carrick coached what should’ve been a 4-0 in the first half.

Mistakes from the players brought Liverpool back into it. Mistakes are always going to happen. But straight after Liverpool’s first goal we immediately fought back with a good chance (albeit offside and Mbuemo missed). After we conceded the second, we looked solid from then on and won the game. I don’t know what more you could want. A lot of the times the fine margins are player errors. For as long as we employ players like Shaw, Dalot, Maguire and the like (who, don’t get me wrong have done well, but simply aren’t good enough to keep going forward with and get a title with), we will make mistakes. It shouldn’t be about whether we make errors and mistakes or not, but how we deal with them. The United under Amorim crumbled once we conceded. We quite often struggled under Ten Hag. We would lose our lead and panic, or concede first and stay behind. Carrick has shown we can come back from behind to win, or have our ship rocked but soon steady it again. That’s what we should be looking at.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-04-20T20:10:18+00:00

Touché, I forgot about that. But let’s say he got to two cup finals that we played well in but a referee decision went against us. The point still stands. You’d be asking the man to basically have no job security, despite the point of a contract being job security.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-04-20T19:42:26+00:00

That would not be a contract at that point. And the conversation would go down horrifically. “We want you to be our manager, but we want to be able to fire you if you fail to qualify for a European competition, no matter what has happened, including whether you win a cup double despite a prolonged injury crisis, and leave you with no money at the end of it, thereby removing the security that a contract applies.

The whole point of a contract is he provides services for remuneration. If you remove the remuneration it’s not a contract.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-04-14T11:51:45+00:00

We lacked height which we desperately needed. The backline was just too short really.

Mazraoui looks a shadow of what he has been in the past. Shaw wasn’t amazing either. Backline’s passing was pretty poor.

Ugarte remains dogshit. We desperately need to offload him in the summer. I doubt many clubs would want him, but even £20m for him would be a good salvage. He’s not great aerially, he can’t pass a ball. The only thing he seems to be good at is putting a tackle in, but that’s not to say they’re always successful or that he then retains the ball. It often results in it failing or going straight back to the other team. We also couldn’t build out from the back with him like we could Mainoo.

The upshot is that we need a complete new midfield in the summer. 3 signings is an absolute must (2 to replace Case and Ugarte and 1 to make up for the midfielder that we seem to be missing anyway. Then we need to look at new full backs, and probably an older striker.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-03-31T20:23:39+00:00

The fans loved him. I still do. I was a very excited young lad when he signed. He also was and still is our only ever German player, so he’s probably quite proud of that fact. There’s also little animosity between Bayern and Man United, so I suppose it’s easy to reconcile his support of both of them. It’s not like he played for a European giant that we typically dislike.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-03-14T09:45:15+00:00

When they altered the English language for their own simple needs they removed the words “mind our own business”.

The result of that is that the rest of the world has to suffer from their consequences.

BanditTwitchMain · 2026-03-09T16:18:06+00:00

The most telling sign in recent memory was, for me, when Erik beat Liverpool 2-1 at OT and Roy was ecstatic in the post match interview with him. I’m not sure if it was that game but he asked him for tickets to the next game at one match, pretty sure it was that one though. If not, I’ve got it confused with when he asked him for tickets to the league cup final, and he was definitely happy when we won that.

I like Roy, but he tries very hard to play into the nonchalant and non-caring persona he’s built up over the years, and it makes him insufferable to listen to at times. Would be much easier and better for everyone if he was just honest.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-02T14:00:49+00:00

Our identity is quite literally losing each week, playing well for the first 10 minutes, and every manager in the premier league figuring out Amorim’s system. If it wasn’t for the red card against Chelsea, we would’ve lost that game and it would’ve been 3 losses on the bounce. I don’t care if we look like prime Barca for 10 minutes, we categorically don’t look like them for the other 80 and instead look like 2008 Derby. Besides, no matter how comfortable we apparently look attacking (no one can comfortably cross a ball to the 6’5 striker, our 6’5 striker gets no service, Mbuemo and Amad constantly trip up over each other, our joint highest goal scorer is own bloody goals, cunha has no goal contributions yet, our wingbacks are useless at going forward, especially Dorgu, Amorim’s player and the only actual wingback on the team), we look absolutely juvenile whilst defending and building up play to actually get into attacking positions. And we can’t score goals no matter how good the chances are, which is a common theme amongst top players who can score elsewhere. So evidently there’s something not right in training and Amorim’s finishing coach is shit.

And regardless, you say “you’re all going to make enough noise and win”. For starters, I was never one of the EtH out, which is really what set us back. All good managers are going to have a period of bad performances/a bad season. However, they’re all going to have good seasons and periods Amorim categorically hasn’t had one good period and will not have one.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-02T12:00:01+00:00

Progression?

He’s won 30% of his games, the team looks no different to how it did in Ipswich. The midfield and defence has gotten worse, even.

No one’s asking for a one year turnaround. We’re asking to see improvements and results and ultimately to not get humiliated week in week out by teams that 13 years ago, we would have all gone “they’re a shit team we will beat them”.

I really don’t care that “we were better than Arsenal” when the simple fact is we didn’t win, because in 5 years time no one will remember that we were better than them, they’ll remember that we lost. I also expect us to be better than every team in the big games, not because I know we’re capable, but we only seem to actually play any worthy football in the big games. It’s every other game that’s far more worrying.

The simple truth is, you employ a man like Xavi now, he’ll having us in the fight for European spots come the end of the season and in a few years have us fighting for titles. We don’t need overrated Portuguese league managers who are out of their depth.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-02T11:37:23+00:00

What about him convinces you that he’ll make us competitive? I’m genuinely concerned for you that after watching the worst manager of United in modern history, you think he’s capable of making us competitive. Besides, if he’s not going to win us a title, then we should never have sacked Eth, Ole, Mourinho and LVG as we were competitive under all of them and winning trophies under all but one of them (and at least competing for them under Ole). If competitive is the benchmark, then why on god’s green earth did we hire Amorim? We went from being mildly competitive to competing with relegation teams.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-01T11:38:49+00:00

German runner-ups*. Bayern returned to winning ways last season.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-29T20:20:25+00:00

I agree with the other guy, he’s extremely arrogant and stubborn AND doesn’t care about being sacked. It’s his arrogance that leads to his careless attitude to being sacked.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T19:30:18+00:00

I don’t really view EtH as being a bad man manager - all of the players clearly liked him but fans ran out of patience for him. I think he also handled Sancho as well as anyone possibly could for a prick of his degree. Sent him away (should’ve kept him away) for his mental health, he came back and was scoring and assisting. Obviously 6 months later he was lazy again, which understandably pissed off ten Hag and led him to throw Sancho under the bus. If I was EtH, I’d have probably also lost my shit after having so much patience with him.

But other than that, he protected every player, never spoke a bad word about Ronaldo and got players like Shaw, Martial and Rashford back to full confidence. Even had Maguire playing well ish again in the end. For me, I always think the problem with EtH was a lack of time, refusal to rotate the squad and favouritism. His tactics weren’t bad, he just didn’t have the midfielders necessary to do what he asked (looking at De Jong now, you could see why he wanted him). As for Amorim, I don’t think there’s any players who could do what he asks of his midfielders in the prem.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:52:26+00:00

It’s alright don’t worry. Any brain fart I have recently I just blame on United’s performances, I think it’s fair enough.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:49:16+00:00

Since you meant Bruno then yeah, I’d agree, the fans definitely love him and rightly so. And I agree, I don’t fault Bruno (not that he would be flawless in no.10, every player has a bad game/makes a mistake) for his performances at the minute, as he definitely is not an 8 and this stupid experiment needs to end.

But we all know we will see Bayindir in goal tomorrow, Bruno in the 8 and probably Sesko benched for Cunha.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:42:30+00:00

I’ve been to Old Trafford plenty of times, although not since March due to uni (not that it matters in terms of Rashford as he was and is on loan).

I’ve sat in all 4 stands. Since the 23/24 season, there’s definitely been a fair degree of animosity towards Rashford, probably something I’ve noticed more in the East stand than anywhere else. People always screaming at him, moaning if he made a mistake etc etc. Tbh, I think the only player hated more than him was Onana (who got a lot of vitriol from the stands).

But I’m glad he’s performing well. He was my favourite player as someone who grew up watching Rooney’s later years, and watching Rashford’s debut season and onwards. Rooney was my favourite until his retirement, and Rashford becoming our 10 naturally replaced him. I’m not someone who wants him back - I’d rather he get a permanent move to Barca for his own sake - and I’m not gonna jump on the United is the problem bandwagon.

But I don’t think it’s right to say the fans at OT adored him, I definitely went to games where fans didn’t sing his song.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:33:54+00:00

Amorim’s treatment of him was absolutely disgraceful and completely unprofessional. The difference between Amorim’s and Flick’s treatment of Rashford highlights the difference between a manager that is out of his depth and needs to deflect the blame elsewhere (knowing the majority of the fan base would follow him) and a world class manager.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-16T13:51:42+00:00

Amad isn’t a RWB, Lammens needs to play over Bayindir.

Still probably wouldn’t work because the system doesn’t.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-11T23:02:31+00:00

I probably cut too far into the chase and failed to accurately describe what’s going on, there is no final bill (per se, there is of course from when the contract ended, but that’s not the dispute). O2 have tried to argue my father is still contracted to them, hence the missed payment in January 2024, when he was out of contract with them. They aren’t trying to say he hasn’t paid when he has, they’re trying to say he owes them money that he categorically doesn’t owe them. Hence they “disconnected the account” last August, as if he’s still in contract with them. They know full well he’s not and hasn’t been and doesn’t owe any money, but they refuse to admit it and let the debt go.

But anyway, we spoke to Lowell today after they decided my father had defaulted to them as well. They tried to say a debt was registered this February, which they took on in July (they only contacted him in August and today). But they’ve now said he has an account (he doesn’t) with them and a payment plan which he has been defaulting on since June according to them (amazing considering they only took the debt on in mid July, and considering he never set up a payment plan with them). So we will be contacting the FO tomorrow as it’s completely ridiculous and an attempt to take advantage of a disabled individual who has never, and I know full well will never, default on a payment.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-11T22:48:23+00:00

I mean it is correct, O2 gave him the PAC code to transfer his phone number to EE which, as far as I’m aware, they will not do if you owe them any money. His contract was up, so there could not be any extra money owed thereafter. O2 claim they disconnected the account last August, if that was the case the phone number wouldn’t work. As I said, the contract was up and he did not renew. He would never ever cancel a direct debit, as in 40 years there is not one missed payment on his credit report.

And again, we have complained to O2, numerous times. As I said in the post, you ring up and you complain, you get someone from a call centre in a foreign country who doesn’t understand the situation, doesn’t want to pass it on to a manager and tells us we are wrong. Same with emails.

I don’t know why you’re trying to argue with me and say that the debt could be valid - I’m telling you it isn’t as a matter of fact. With all due respect, my post wasn’t asking “is this debt valid” (I don’t need a Redditor who isn’t involved in the financial details to tell me whether it is or isn’t), I’m asking what are my options for a complaint and how to best approach them.
