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.
He got the bloody ball.
I've gone to the bother of recording it for you.
That is your proof? Looks like a blatant pen.
It got quicker in time.
The other angle shows much better that Alonso clearly influences the direction of the ball. The outrage is a joke.
Yeah I've already had my annual Cnut Cakir whinge and can see him coming to RM's rescuse if needed.

Looks like he didn't touch the ball.

Good

Looks like penalty
This is the style of refereeing that UEFA promotes - big presence, taking initiative, giving a foul when in doubt (or someone falls for whatever reason). Basically everything you wouldn't want a referee to be. And Cakir is all that.
It's what ruined Clattenburg, as well. Used to be a decent ref, before he got all those gigs in Europe.
Arsenal already had their share of dodgy penalties / penalties against not given.
Are you guys blind? Alonso clearly touches the ball.
Yet they want video technology for penalties. Nobody can agree on here if a penalty or not.
Does Real Madrid have a tea lady?
What? He got the ball...
I've gone to the bother of recording it for you.
Not watching the game but he clearly gets the ball there.
Quite clear to me, Alonso clearly gets a touch on the ball. People must not be paying close enough attention.
I expected more from Ribery today, but he's been largely anonymous.
What a great first half by Napoli! They completely outplayed Real!
The first two replays BT showed were inconclusive and looked like a pen but in the one above Alonso clearly gets the ball which the official behind the goal would have seen too.
It looks to me that it's Wallcott that flicks the ball.
The other angle makes all discussing of the "pen incident" laughable. He CLEARLY changes the direction of the ball by like 45 degrees and his touch clears it for a corner. Never a pen.
Walcot's shot reached a speed of 119km/h when he scored

It'd stop the absolute nightmares but it wouldn't end controversy, not by a long way.
For what it's worth I reckon he gets a toe on it. No penalty.
We could be 2-0 easily.Terrible first half with a Napoli with a lot of intensity.
The BBC don't defend so our midfield is totally out played.
I would change any player of the attack for Isco or James

Walcott's the one in red mate.

Judging from that, it doesn't look like a pen, Alonso clearly touches the ball as you can see when it speeds up after he touches it.
Alonso 100% touches it.
Alonso seems to be getting the ball in that replay. But the if the ball is still in the reach of the Arsenal player after Alonso touches it, it's still a penalty.
He does, but then Alonso does after. It's subtle but if you focus solely on the ball it becomes obvious.
Indeed.
Ball speeds up and bounces slightly after Alonso kinda steps on it.
Hm where did you hear about that rule?
Well done, you know him...
Not sure what the Spanish equivalent of a tea lady is. Could be a paella man.
It's gone out of play and would've rolled on a couple of meters.
Yeah, Neuer hardly had the time to get his fists up, at that speed. The shot was unexpected, and the sheer power behind it even more.Walcot's shot reached a speed of 119km/h when he scored
Probably
Owen and Mcmananamaman, ugh. Can't decide who has a more irritating voice.
