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.
it happens all the time. It really would have been out of order if he'd have been looking for a penalty off it
...The one that got me was the one against Derby last season when he conned the ref for a penalty. We were two up in the last 10 minutes and he goes and dives for a penalty. Lo and behold next weekend he gets fouled in the box twice, two legitimate penalties denied.
You spastic.
I thought Rooney was very poor today. Hope this helps.
He wasnt poor today though...he tried his best and had no decent attacker alongside him. Berbatov was non existent and did nothing more than jog around. Park and Hargreaves are not really great going forward.
Rooney's stupid lunge to give away a free kick was the only thing you could really hold against him.
His passing was underhit several times, when with a tiny bit of care we could have had an effective attack.
A free kick which meant we got one point instead of three, certainly far more worthy of a thread than Ronaldo motioning the ref. Although both are pointless threads, that said this one is far more so
He was hit and miss. But he fecking kept over-playing the ball and losing possession with heavy touches in dangerous areas. Chelsea's equaliser being the most obvious example.
But, like I said, at least he played the whistle. Unlike Ronaldo.
Cant believe Rooney is being blamed when Berbatov was utter shite and some of Fergie's decisions were shocking. Tevez should have started and Neville was lucky to even be on the pitch after the lunge against Ballack. Thanks to Joe Cole's and Anelka's poor finishing, we weren't beaten by 3 or so goals.
Ronaldo was bieng his usual self, it was just mike riley who had an absolute horrer. Did he even book a chelsea player?
only mikel
Chuckle. He's actually been pretty supportive from what I can recall. As for Ronaldo, he acted today as he's done for a few months.
How does Berbatov being shit and Fergie's choices effect Rooney's ability to put the right weight on a pass?
Christ PM, you're just now noticing this about Ronaldo?
I think you're referring to the wrong person
Even when you're not taking gratuitous pops at Rooney, you manage to still be full of shite, you know that?
What about Rio's poor finishing? And Rooney missing an (almost) open goal?
The mark of a true spastic is someone who picks out one or two examples of the opposition coming close as concrete evidence that we should have lost and that our manager hasn't a clue.
Ronaldo and Berbatov are luxury players.
That was actually a case where simulation was the correct thing to do. He got caught in posession and rescued it by being clever. It wasn't an outrageous deception. Much worse "cheating" goes on and plenty of it by the likes of Terry, Gerrard and Carragher who refs seem to think can do no wrong.
IK's a Gooner.
40 odd goals certainly is luxury.
When there is a break on, Ronaldo and Tevez sprint forward. Berbatov jogs and Park hasn't played as much - passes could get over hit or under hit. It takes time to get used to different players and their runs.
Fergie's decisions to change most of the team and their positions was the reason why our passing wasnt good. He brought on Ronaldo and gave no instructions as to where he was supposed to play. Ronnie went to the left wing and Rooney had to jog up to the bench and confirm the formation.
I do not like Ronaldo. For every goal he score, or assist he makes, he throws away a chance, either by lying on the ground waiting for the ref to call what he wants, shooting when he should pass, or diving and giving away possession.
Before Ronaldo came on my biggest complaint today was that Park got tired, yet was kept on. But the team was tremendous; passing, possession, counter attack were all excellent.
After Ronaldo came on he just made one costly mistake after another.
He seems to think he is exempt from 'Respect'.
He seems to think he is entitled to act however he likes, and get away with it.
I hate his attitude, and will take an in-form Hargreaves-Fletcher-Park combo over Ronaldo nearly every day if it means no more selfish crap.

It amazes me how Ronaldo will stop to think and pout but if the ball is won back (liek it was done tday by Park) and just happens to float by him....how quickly he gets back into it.
If he didnt pout as much, he would be better defensively and win alot more balls back quickly with his pace.

Rio's poor finishing ?
FFS, he's a central defender, he kept the ball low, hit the target and drew a good save from Cech. You expect him to find the bottom right corner of the net ?
Rio should have shot higher with Cech sprawling on the ground but in all fairness he is a defender.

Listen, you spastic, I wasn't criticising Rio. That was a sensational save by Cech.
My point was that we created some excellent chances too, regardless of who they fell to. Which highlights your bleating about Cole and Anelka going close as just more of the utter bilge with which you so frequently pollute this place.
His attitude was very poor today.
But Giggs basically does the same thing loads of time in a less cocky way. Lose the ball, stare the ref for a decision with hands on hips.

Berbatov was our worse outfield player today BTW.

I think the point was that it was a chance, much like Rooney's chance and the Joe Cole/Anelka opportunities. You convieniently forgot to mention them when saying "Thanks to Joe Cole's and Anelka's poor finishing, we weren't beaten by 3 or so goals."
It could've easily have been the other way round.
Joe Cole clearly handled the ball before his "near goal" early in the match. Shocking that a call wasn't made.
Neville was probably worse. It's not like he repeatedly made mistakes, he just didn't see a lot of the ball.
Hargreaves too.
Gary Neville should've been subbed for Brown.
I'd agree with that. At least Berbatov played well for 20 minutes. Neville and Hargreaves were relentlessly mediocre.
I don't think any of the three of them were fully fit, mind you. Which explains why they stood out as our worst performers.
He should have started ahead of Brown. I hope Wes had a knock or something otherwise that was a howler by Fergie.
And was I the only one thought that Rooney should have scored from that Ronaldo cross? Gray said it was a tight angle but I thought he could have even hit it across the goal.
Don't you mean "shouldn't have"?
Yea..
Nah, most in the matchday thread felt it should have been 2-0 and match over.
