In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
They're doing not too bad right now, are they
im switching over to city game 2nd half. enough of this borefrst.
You say this as if stoppage time is actually based on stoppages throughout the game. How many games do you see players taking an age to go off when they're substituted, someone getting treatment on the pitch for 6-7 minutes only for the referee to give the standard 4 minutes of injury time? If its the first half expect 1-2 minutes at most unless something egregious has happened
(I jest with that first sentence but I have a hard time believing that stoppage time is actually accurate right now. In fact I find when one team is dominating and the match is more or less over, referees give even less injury time)
Peps away record in the Cl is piss poor. It really needs to be highlighted more often
Not one for the purists, that's for sure. Would still like Atletico to get a result though.
Piss off
Ahh of course. Cheers.
Atletico Juventus is boring? Well I'll be..
In the middle of the pitch with seconds to go no less. And now he’s out of the return leg. I’d be fuming if I was Simeone.
Few things from this so far.
Offside rule needs an overhaul. How goals like that can be scored is a farce
Good and bad sides of VAR. Penalty harsh and took forever but backed the ref on the 2nd pen.
Fermandino is fecked with VAR

One of those game where we were completely comfortable but somehow managed to feck ourselves twice and Schalke only feck themselves once. Think even if we were to lose 3-1 I'd be confident of going through at home.
Nothing to argue with either decision either (first could have went either way), both pen's but I hope the ref stays consistent on the pulling in the box.

In Basketball they'd call that a "low IQ play"
Seriously such a pointless tackle with such a big consequence
Tbf Simeone is always fuming
Was thinking the same thing about Smalling. If this becomes a thing, these guys are going to spend more games suspended than they play.
What I've been saying all season. Ronaldo plays so far away from goal(to compensate for his lack of service) that his best weapons aren't even utilised often.
Interesting. From what I heard Khedira is missing this tie altogether? Hopefully he'll be fine!

Pretty apt
True
Standard xenophobic and homophobic chants from the Atleti crowd as usual. Spent more time singing about Ronaldo than about their players.
So with the help of VAR both games have seen initial (non) penalty decisions correctly overturned but people will apparently complain because of few extra seconds eaten up by it (ignoring all the other time wasting that goes on during the game).
are Schalke doing well, I know it was two pens but are they deserving to be in front?
Crazy how UCL proves how overrated EPL is
Khedira had a surgery on his heart yesterday. In Germany we only know that he had cardiac dysrhythmia
He will be out for awhile...
What are they saying? Ronaldo being (slur for) Portugese and gay or something?
The handball penalty was harsh.
Because City are losing at HT?They'll win this tie. Liverpool vs Bayern is still 50/50, and we smashed Dortmund. United/PSG is pretty much done and dusted, but United are 4th in our league so expected.
Still very possible that 3 out of 4 English teams will progress.
Atletico fans bringing Ronaldo sex dolls to the stadium
Pretty much.
Great result for you guys yesterday. Really highlighted the strength of La Liga
I'd agree with that, it's better to wait for all the ties to played before making any statements

The first pen was rather bullshit. Apart from the pens, Schalke had two shots at the goal. So... more than expected.
Harsh but correct in this particular instance as the ball was going in and reply made it absolutely clear.
"I think this one is a penalty if I'm totally honest" - huh?
Have yet to lose a game all tournament, got 25 shots on target. How did Arsenal do in their Europa match against a team that hasn't played since December?
Thought so

Low IQ play
Real Madrid were quality as well.
That sounds serious! Maybe the semifinals if they make it?
