Don't even joke about that

Porto look like a completely different team from the first leg.

jog on, its my opinion if you cant deal with it you shouldn't be on here :rolleyes:

Strange opinion mate, but, each to their lonely own.

Good chance from that corner, Ronaldo actually put somebody under pressure, Rooney grimacing slightly less.

That_Guy

It'll be a blow for United if Rooney doesn't return after half time. Although Tevez is a good sub to have.

Xavi6

Keep the troll accusations to yourself folks. If you don't like a post then report it.

Cheers

Woah Vida beaten there, he needs to attack the ball

Nope big united fan, I've just got that rare ability for a footy fan to realise when one of our own players is playing rubbish. We're hanging on by a thread here, yet some people on here seem to think if we're 1 nil up no player should receive critism.

Xavi6

Vidic the dirty swine. Pity he wasn't last man.

That_Guy

Good chance from Porto there. Close.

Good call with the yellow for Vidic.

PHB

I'm sorry I've been watching a different Anderson. Admittingly he ****ed up once or twice, but he's gotten stuck in in midfield, added a good bit of bite. He's been open for a pass, and has made some good passes [not least the pass to Ronaldo to the space for the goal]. And he's made some good runs forward, the 1-2 with Giggs not least.

He's been fairly solid over this half imo, I don't know what people are complaining about.

Xavi6

Some miss

Mitch Connor

How did he miss that? Seriously?

Dave!

GAH, bad miss for Vida

Would love HT here... get some composure back

PHB

Vidic jesus christ.

Liam O

:eek: :eek: Vida!

Still very early for a CB to be on a Yellow.

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh Vidic ffs.

beertons

How did he miss that! :eek:

How did he miss?!

Playing rubbish and being rubbish are totally different. In your first post you pretty much said he was a rubbish player.

roryc

Vidic???? Wtf???

Aidric

Christ, that should have been two.

Liam O

Could've been home and dry :mad:

Insect Overlord

Ronaldo should really be getting himself into the box for this.

What a waste of a free kick.

That_Guy

Not a brilliant first half in my opinion. Great goal for United but I was expecting them to capitalise more on it. They haven't created a whole lot. Vidic had the best opportunity to make it 2.

Porto are looking very dangerous and have some great ball control and look good. Crosses just letting them down a bit. I wouldn't bet against them to nick a goal and heap the pressure on United.

Hopefully the second half can get better.

lads that wasnt a big miss at all

ball bouce just before he hit it

Mitch Connor

Rooney seems to be moving more freely now.

Should still have put it away tbh

Harder to miss IMO

Mitch Connor

Very nice move there

lol... you were asking that three players be taken off after half an hour... while we are 1-0 up... away from home

What response did you expect

Headshot

see that was Rooney does when he's in he's best position

disgrace having him on the right

Mr.Nice Guy

Porto don't look up to much. A second goal should put the tie to bed and the team looks well capable of that.

if it was a forward id agree with you but its a CB so i can understand him missing it

Dave!

Good play there

Glad to see HT... Give some lads a bollicking, assess any injuries, get some composure back.

I'm fairly happy after that half, and so I will not be listening to RTÉ at HT, cos it will just put me in a bad mood.

Liam O

Good half despite Porto pressure they never really had any clear cut chances. We had 3 or 4 good chances and had plenty of possession. Most important is that we got the goal, and what a goal!

liverpool i meant. he looks ok now, we'll see what happens at half time. united with a few very good chances (what a miss from Vidic?) but i'll be very surprised if Porto dont score tonight, so united definitely need another.

Tom65

It's almost a pity Rooney is such a great striker, because he makes a cracking winger too

I'm watching a stream in some Asian language, where O'Shea is pronounced Oshy. I think I'll call him that from now on.

9/11 was not 'United's tragedy either, what's your point? Only an idiot would not empathise with Liverpool fans at this time.

Brilliant

Tyler and Gray were chatting how Berb is a lazy sod and has his own unique stlye of play and Tyler summed him up brilliantly.

"He's a stroller Andy" to laughter.

From now on I refer to him as "the stroller"

Is anyone else getting hacked off by the brutal coverage? Whoever is producing this keeps using terrible camera angles and zooming in on players who are doing nothing while play is going on. It's ridiculous.

ShiverinEskimo

Decent first half but United need another.

Here's the boys on RTE now...

Dunphy "Ronaldo makes 2 tackles - hold the front page!!"

I'd be very surprised if we didn't score again. They are shambolic at the back
