[Archived] Rovers v Man Utd

[Rover_Shaun]

Great goal from us but the equaliser sums up why we will go down.

 

Poor does not cover it

[Irishrover213]

Terrible from conway gets caught wrong side.

Lawro said it world class, PNE knob

How much of Ewood has been allocated to United fans?

7,100 the official total. Will be a few in the home ends no doubt.

You sound surprised, Amo?

Flabbergasted.

[DE.]

Embarrassing. How do you @#/? up such a simple counter attack without managing a single pass?

[A cup of beans]

Some player Mulgrew.

[otto man]

Struggling to keep possession., Nice little run from Lenihan, till he ran out of steam. Conway almost scores.

Really good footballing brain. No legs. A severely downgraded version of Tugay.

There'll be a few thousand Man U supporting locals in the home end I would have thought. Always used to be loads in jw upper.

If only he wasn't made of glass

Worst thing would be for this to go to a replay

Don't think it will. A replay is no good for United either. Expect Mourinho will do what is necessary at half time to ensure they aren't as pathetic in the next 45 mins as they have been this half.

[otto man]

Nice bit of end to end stuff there. Why can't we play like this every week?

[G Somerset Rover]

No chance of a replay. We'll blow out of steam from 65-70 onwards.

[OJRovers]

It's pretty obvious that Warnock would have this rovers squad comfortably in the top half

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Can't knock the performance so far. Where on earth has this been?

Eh, it's hard to judge games like this. Plenty of underdogs struggling in the league have pulled off shocks in the cup.

[roverandout]

United are in first gear. They can pick it up any time they want

Because our manager is appalling and can only get the team to play well when the players galvanise themselves for a big game. 

 

See Newcastle and on the flip side Rotherham/Wigan/Burton Albion.

[DE.]

A much better first half than I expected. United have been really poor. We've worked hard, scored a great goal and other than the customary defensive lapse done well to shut them out. 

[Laurence]

Did the Red Card protest happen? - no mention of it on the radio 5 commentary.

 

[perthblue02]

A decent first half.
