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.
That wasn't the part of your post I was taking issue with.
Your stupidly cocky "people saying don't turn your back have never played the game" comment is what I bolded.
Roma robbed.
Porto love VAR, it’s incredible.

Porto doesn't have the killing instinct 2 times they could score
Yep, I'd agree with that. It was a handball under the rules but the rules suck. Though tbf handball is a tricky offence, I'm not sure what interpretation you could have that wouldn't involve some controversial grey area.
Deserved for Porto. Congratulations @broccoli honorable club with no petrodollars only hardworking people. How many suspended players?
I really cannot believe Roma didn't get a penalty there. That was the only that was clear from all three tonight.
Dzeko bottled it tonight. Should have ended the tie twice
You shouldn't turn your back, but it happens. I'm pretty sure Rio did it on a number of occasions, everyone will sometimes do it, people acting like 'oh he turned his back so it's a penalty' are people I have to question whether they've actually played the game.
Kimpembe's made a little error, but it doesn't deserve to be punished in that way. The poster I quoted made out that him turning his back was enough to justify the decision.
Man, I'm still buzzing. What an absolutely great week of CL football.
Which is it?

I agree you can be much better than you were against PSG.
What may work in United’s favor is that anything from here on out is just icing on the cake. They can maybe play a little more freely because of it.
Is Glaston laughing at us being knocked out?
A quarter final against Porto, Ajax or Spurs is an absolute joy. They could all beat us, but you’d sign for any of them and the other two to be paired in your side or the draw.
Agreed. There is so much grey area, they really should work on it ASAP.
Sometimes referees have to use common sense and be practical with the rules though.
Regardless, I think the rules on handball need some looking at, because any fan of a team who conceded a penalty like that would be rightly furious.
There are no sides of the draw anymore.
Ridiculous week of football.
I was at the Madrid - Ajax game last night (as a tourist but willing Ajax on), thinking Madrid had it in the bag. It was beautiful to see the youngsters of Ajax perform like that at such a superb stadium.
I left the Bernabeau thinking what might be for our club this evening against PSG. Make no mistake about it we took great confidence from last nights result.
Superb game management from Ole, superb performance from our players too. Superb all round. Would like Porto in the next round! We’re due a decent draw surely?

Porto were the better team tonight. Roma got robbed a 120th minute penalty though
What exactly is stopping kimpembe from tucking his arm in there? He leaves it wide. Stupid and yes, penalty
Meanwhile in Oporto, Cakir steals the show once again

You can always draw the tree in hindsight. Point is you’d take any of those three as your QF opponent and either of the other two as your SF one.
@Arruda congratulations!
Honorable club my ass. You must of drank too much tonight surely. They are just as rotten as our neighbors.
feck the club but good for Portuguese football.
Out of the four teams to have won the first leg, only Tottenham made it through.
What a weird couple of days
What a weird couple of days
And they call us the bottlers!
Funnily tucking your arm in would actually be the unnatural thing to do as nobody jumps like that. But it seems that what players will have to do in the future.
Eh? There’s a new draw after the QFs. So even if you get Ajax and it’s Tottenham-Porto, you could still end up against the winner of Atletico-Barca.
I’m not sure what’s more shocking, United getting through or PSG conspiring to throw it away again.
The fact is he gave the ref a decision to make through his own inept technique.
You cannot allow your arm to dangle freely away from your body inside the penalty box and you absolutely cannot turn your back. It was a penalty under the letter of the law.
Unlike you I don’t see football as black and white. Yes what they have done on European football since Pedroto was their coach is more than honourable?
Do I like Pinto da Costa? Not much, but at least he defends his club.
I know what I am saying don’t need to drink to state the obvious.
Do a 180 jump and see how your arm goes.
He’s on a plane somewhere, muttering something about DADDY DADDY WANT WANT, a stadium and a cheese room.
You're tier 2 of bottlers, you'll never get to PSG standards
PSG: The Spurs of Europe.
fecking hell
My arm goes where i want it to go. If i leave it wide, than it's my own damn fault
If this is the case, can we get like a billion to spend too?
Thanks! To you too. What a night, and amazingly done by United!
