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.
Must beGiven that there's no Smith, Arnot or Ross in the starting lineup I can only guess the manager is a scouser
Come on Scotland
Greenwood starts for England. McManus (England), Smith and Arnot (Scotland) on the bench.
I’m with Scotland here.
We have looked so weak in front of goal lately that I’m worried about this, nice early goal to settle the nerves please England.
Thanks.
Karen Carney has been playing for England for about 25 years I think.
Pretty attacking line up from England, three forwards, Kirby as number 10 and Jill Scott always seems to be getting in the box and scoring a few when I've seen her in the past.
Lucy Bronze very attacking full back aswell, has been playing in midfield a lot in warm ups but seems Neville is playing her in her best position again.

The Scottish squad doesn’t have a single player with a surname starting with “Mc” What is the world coming to?
Lively start, England getting forward well without creating actual chances at the moment.
Eh VAR about?
England penalty.
I hate VAR
Wow
Oooh. Penalty for the hand ball - beyond the silhouette ruling
Talk about a frantic start to a match. I wonder how long they can keep this pace up.
I’d agree with that tbh
Parris scores: 1-0
Nicely taken penalty by Parris. What an opening quarter hour.
Difficult to argue against that IMO.
Really hating these VAR handball decisions
I’m delighted we’ve scored but this handball rule needs sorting out. Harsh on Scotland.
Are they using VAR?
Edit: I guess post 182 answered that.

The pundits need to get used to the silhouette idea.
Soft pen but they always seem to be given nowadays sadly.
Never a penalty
VAR called it.
VAR + new hand ball rules makes football ridiculous.
that Scottish keeper is way too small to be in goal.
Yep we’re just going to get players smacking the ball at players hands as they’re always going to give a pen now, no matter how close.
Harsh penalty to concede in my view
Yep. VAR has its uses but I suspect it won't be long before refs begin to get over-reliant on it rather than their own judgment.
This. It’s so open to abuse it’s unreal.
at least it hasn't come off her chest first
50/50 for me
you could give that if you like or say she's too close, I don't mind
(THEMZ THE RULES THOUGH) -

Suddenly ‘natural position’ is redefined as running with you arms behind your back. CL finals and half of the games will be decided by wether players forget to be Mike Smalling.
Dive send her off.
Here if Phil wins this do we think he would get knighted? In a way I kinda want to see that just to see Gary Neville’s reaction.

Super save there.
The way Houghton, Bronze and Parris just played their way out was fantastic to watch
The handball rule change described by Elleray - as he was involved with the IFAB committee that did the refereeing guidelines:
The silhouette description is probably as clear a description as they're likely to be able to give. The alternative from the refs perspective was to use a torso definition to clarify it, and they decided that was too harsh.
