    I'm sure you were hoping Blackburn beat Liverpool even if it could cost united a league yeah?

    Nah. I wanted Man Utd to win their game, whatever happens in the other game happens.

    So you hope for a draw, it that what you are saying......
    Of course I'm Happy with the way the game is going. We are wining.
    I never want to see my team lose.

    If you want Ole to stay in charge then you want Man Utd to win.
    Appreciate the support.

    If there was a realistic way of Man U going on a serious run of losses and hang on to Ole then that would obviously be better however it is handy when the teams lower down in the league beat the better teams to enhance our title challenge too so yeah I would be fine with your lot beating City and taking points off Everton too if it means we can get some breathing space towards the top.

    As has already been said, I am sure you were cheering for Blackburn all them years ago when if Liverpool win, your team win the league. Fair play, sticking to your principles there lad.

    Surprised there's even a hint of debate about this. I really hoping for a United win here, anything to keep Ole at the wheel and a decent manager away from the club.

    Pickford at it again

    That should be a penalty.

    The two of them kicked him :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,385 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    How is that not an instant penalty?

    Pickford is a terrible, terrible player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,199 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Pickford is a maniac in goal. Never know what he's going to do.

    VAR is LOL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    How's that not a foul.

    United absolutely robbed there. Pickford is blessed.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    According to Fantasy football, Salah is a Midfielder, as is Son. Both have definitely outscored Fernandes.

    Same Referee , so at least there is some consistency.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,945 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    Going to give a pen here for the follow through?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,199 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    That was pretty wild from McGuire as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,728 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Pickford is better at catching center backs than the ball FFS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    You'd wonder why pickford bothered to try catch that it was going wide anyway.

    Because Pickford.

    Awful 2nd half. No football being played at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,858 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Pickford is sick of being a liability for his own team so is continuing his trend of taking out others and being a liability there too. Dangerous lunges and kicks.

    Maguire lucky too. He got about 10% ball and 90% man. Have seen cards given for follow through on a tackle before, even after getting the ball.

    Maguire pushed Pickford over the end line. Free out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Ref is having a shocker in fariness, Fernandes could have had two cards today already at least, Maguire could have been in trouble, def should have been a pen and then the question would be was he making a legitimate effort to play the ball for a potential red. Just an all round poor reffing performance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,945 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    Bruno must have hurt his foot tackling Allan and only felt it when he lifted his leg up with Digne there :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,666 ✭✭✭doc_17


    The BT commentators are poor. It doesn’t matter if you “get the ball first”, it can still be a dangerous tackle. I don’t think the Utd defender’s tackle was too bad, I’m just referring to their criteria for tackle being acceptable or not.

    The way I see it, Ole will never win anything for Utd. Therefore whatever it takes to keep Ole in charge is fine by me. You're very welcome to receive my support also. Gives me a peaceful life at work.

    The claim that you didn't care if Liverpool beat Blackburn is laughable. It's like not caring about the QPR Vs City result. You were obviously happy that day because Man Utd beat Sunderland. Just silly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,255 ✭✭✭eigrod


    Free kick every 30 seconds. Dreadful stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,666 ✭✭✭doc_17


    This dreadful stuff. As bad as 1st half of Chelsea Utd (I didn’t watch the 2nd half).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,666 ✭✭✭doc_17


    If Utd has lost this it would have been lights out Ole, poor result, international break, top class manager available.....

    Hopefully this keeps him there and Pochettino finds a job elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,752 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Looks like a penalty to me, Even rewinding it on tv you can see Cavani got the ball, and then Keane got his heel.

    How can the experts not see it. CRAZY STUFF
