RTÉ have the utd-psg game

Ah, I see what I did! I was looking at the tv listings https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/listings/television/ and for some bizarre reason they have last weeks listings up still.

That's grand. So a game each game week for both channels again

dr.kenneth noisewater

I dont think VM1 are showing any game this week

Bump for tonight's games - Damo giving us the insight that there are no easy games in the Premier League just days after City beat Chelsea 6-0.

Fitz*

Looks a weak PSG team on paper there.

Buffon, Silva & Alves all past their best too.

citytillidie

With the players missing for PSG and the form United are in then United are favourites for this tie

Noveight

Young lucky there I reckon.

Tigerandahalf

United looking very average and Pogba looking like he can't make an impact. They need a lot of quality players to come in.

Potential Underachiever

Turgid affair so far.

citytillidie

2-1 to Roma

LuckyLloyd

Utd lucky to escape a proper hiding. The Knockout stages of the CL really expose teams not up to it.

Dead right Lloyd. Similar to finals

The final in May was a lot closer than this game lad, back in your box there

Makes no difference to me 'lad' don't support either team.

Just calling you out.

At least Liverpool made the final and with that defence! And beat a full strength PSG at home - just

Oh but it does. I see you. You’re crossing your fingers and toes Liverpool don’t get it done in the league. It means an awful lot to you. But the hate sustains us all.

Tonight’s game has been a contender versus a club barely competent at this level currently. That point stands, no matter what attempts at “calling out” you wish to engage in.

Shanotheslayer

Not sure what the league has to do with this thread.

Anyway I'll leave you to your random rants there.

Have fun

PSG demonstrating their credentials tonight. Quality performance despite missing two star players.

ERG89

Kinda surprised a poor looking PSG team look to have brushed United aside but even with the injuries PSG are a big step up from the usual dross in the Premier League. No Neymar, Cavani, Rabiot in exile, a half fit at best Verratti & a balding Dani Alves playing.
Less surprised than Zaniolo stepped up for Roma. What a player he's been the last few weeks in a team not exactly flourishing. Hopefully they can get through in the second leg.

Shanotheslayer

If I'm not mistaken PSG have an insane home record in the CL over the past few years?

Can't see United doing much damage there.

They won that at a stroll, really. Surprised at how easy it was for them. Before the game, I thought utd would get a draw out of them.

citytillidie

1st clean sheet for PSG in 11 CL games

Vincent Vega

Sorry eh, wtf is this ****?! 5 minute analysis and no highlights of the other game(s) at all now?

Harry Palmr

Virgin have crushed RTE's post match coverage with the rights deal. It's why they have an hour beforehand

Mr.Nice Guy

Roma/Porto highlights on VM Sport atm.

Harambe

Reality check for United. It'll be interesting to see their response, a bit more pressure on that Chelsea game now.

Definetly the image of the night

Mr.Nice Guy

Dzeko very dangerous. Hit the woodwork twice. Porto goal makes it interesting in the second leg.

NIMAN

Isn't football a funny old game


Ole has been the saviour for the last 6 weeks or more, but he looked like a lost school boy at the end of the game tonight.

Having said that, most of his team looked like wee boys as well.

Psg far better without neymar I think. With Cavani to come back, they'll be a good side.

Verrati better than their entire midfield.

Sanchez awful
Mata looked like an old boy playing with youngsters. Finished.

Pogba. Well what can you say. Another invisible performance when he's needed. More proof he isn't up to the job. Marked out of the game so easily.

One shot on target apparently, I think it was a driven cross that was off.

The Golden Miller

BVB v Spurs should be a cracker. The game I've been looking forward to most. The best player in the world, Marco Reus, is out though. Would be good to see him back for the second leg. Think BVB will shade the tie.

Don't care who wins between the fascists and the zionists. Probably prefer to see Ajax win, just for the sake of change

OwaynOTT

Why was there so much hatred for di Maria from the Utd fans?
I understand he underperformed whilst at Utd but I can't recall much else.

Seemed to be especially vitriolic last night though. Throwing bottles of beer and everything. Unless that was an advertisement for that brand.

I'd imagine the fans booing DiMaria were the same fans who left as soon as they went 2-0 down. Must've been a clearout of 10,000 people or so by the 90th minute.

That's a weird way to spell Messi.

I don't get it myself. My United supporting friends were calling him a snake and a weasel, but the only explanation I got is he didn't perform.

The funny thing is he started really well, 3 goals and 6 assists in his first 10 league games. Then he got injured and never recovered his form.

The move didn't work out, United made their money back, I don't see the big problem.

Redirected anger, they know that Old Trafford is now a home for overpaid lazy footballers more concerned about hairstyles and clothes lines than football. The fans had a few weeks thinking that those players had decided to earn their wages, that was wonderfully stripped away last night, but they can't really boo their own.

Yeah 10 wins and a draw before last night is a few weeks.
Honestly you need to try harder, can't see any United fans biting on stupid comments like that.
I'm not a United fan btw.

The draw was Burnley, and know one of the wins was Spurs.

Can't pretend to follow their results, could you clarify what teams were beaten on this run when players on up to half a mill a week convinced you that it is unfair of me to characterise them as lazy and overpaid. I see even fans of the cub concede last night was a wretched performance by them...maybe they want other fans to bite?

Do tv3 or now virgin media still show CL games ?

Yes, but not on their main stations. The knockout games are on Virgin Media Sport. They had some group games on the normal TV3 and will also show the final there.

He refused to come back for pre season training and forced a move to PSG.

We lost money on the deal I can't remember how much.

Harry Palmr

Joined for 60m and left for 44.3m and if you consider the write down on the books (about 20% per season typically) it's hardly worth mentioning,

Amazing that you were able to say all you had to say without knowing their results.
It doesn't matter who they played. The results would put them on contention for winning the league if they kept it up for a full season.

You follow United a lot closer then me so I'll take your word on it

charolais0153

It was fairly even fpr the first half i thought. Not much between either side. I didnt see the 2nd half though.
It cant come to a shock to anyone. Psg are one of the top sides in europe and man utd havent had a proper team capable of getting past the champions league quater finals for 6or 7 years at least.

Oh true.

But if they won 2 games in a row, your contention that "the results would put them in contention for winning the league if they kept it up for a full season" would be just as valid. And to think you accused me of "stupid comments"!

Anyway, I see you don't really want to set out the teams they beat in their recent good run. I'll retain my opinion that they are lazy and overpaid based on what preceded that run, and what reappeared last night, you are perfectly entitled to disagree. It's all about opinions.

Not being pedantic but how many weeks was that over? Is that not considered a few weeks?































Ok i am being pedantic

Yeah forcing a move isn't nice on his part. Some eejits throwing bottles though, some fans are complete dopes.

O 100% they should be found and banned from the stadium, but I just wanted to explain why he was being booed
