ya lo, got 1st yellow shld careful liao still get 2nd yellow =_="Originally posted by Poolman:Roma 2-1 .
Paul Scholes main culprit .... stupid la Scholes .
Such an important match for MU at this stage , his second foul on Totti is un-neccessary . He just dunno how clever Italian can be .. in terms of getting free-kicks & fouls ....
Now he suspend for the return leg , serve him right . -
well, I saw the game around 4am, and was wondering where is Scholes..
However, I caught the Rooney goal...
And it was EDS's fault that the way he dealt with that ball allowed Roma to score their 2nd goal.
nevertheless, what's done is done, at least we still can deal with it at home.
and if I am not wrong, the away goal counts double right?? -
sigh. Me was so tired that I switched off the TV during half time. Anyway one goal down I also sian liao. Then saw this morning on CNA that it's 2-1.
Scholes need to get his agression in check. Rem during the Lvp match he got yellow carded too for trying to hit out at Alonso.
What's the chances now for making a turn around during the home leg? -
nnb...tell the bloody italians to come to old trafford...we use our riot police and whack them
-
This red card means how long will scholes be suspended ah? Isit 3matches? If Man utd go thru then will scholes be able to play the next round.
As it is, although man utd need to win at least 1-0 at OT, I think its very hard. The Italians are so dirty and confirm defend very deep and counterattack. Furthermore, Man utd must do so without scholes. -
Sia la this morning when i watch, stunned by roony's goal!
That masked fella (Chivu) should have been book la nb, ref side Roma sial, before the match he said that he is gona send off or book anyone who prompts the ref to book a player, that basket prompt him and nvr get sent off or booked.... -
I think to be fair, United dug deep and only lost by a goal cushion. It could have been more as they played majority of the match 1 man down.
Scholes has been famed for his mis-timed tackles and those 2 that we seen this morning cost him a place in the return leg.
Like i've mentioned in many threads, O'Shea is at most, a good benched Utility player. He's far too slow, not very agile and gives the ball away too cheaply. But United is lacking defensive players at the moment and Scholes' departure last nite certainly caused alot of problems for the backline.
Howver on the other note, despite this morning's disappointing result, United has 2 positive factors to look forward to: 1. It's only a goal lead by Roma and United grabbed an important away goal. 2. The retun of Saha, a boost in the striker department.
Let's move on and look forward to the retun leg at the Theatre of Dreams.
Cheers.

we'll have Park back by then with Saha more match fit and hopefully our makeshift defence more geled tis time round..ButOriginally posted by jianfish9:This red card means how long will scholes be suspended ah? Isit 3matches? If Man utd go thru then will scholes be able to play the next round.

we will make it to the Semi Final by the end of the second leg final whistle, THATS A FACT
ECL has no place for Italian Sissies! -
i slept at 1/2 time.... a goal down and a man down.
no mood liao. -
I didnt watch the match but was tracking the score - 2-1 with 10 men is quite heroic i must say - considering fact that they are down 10 men for most part of the match & must be desperately defending for their lives.
I think to win 1-0 at OT is not a problem but the main worry is, they shldn't let Roma score at OT. But Man U this season has always make things difficult for themselves - during the group stage, they were 1-0 down at OT before rallying for that must-win to get through.
Against Blackburn, they are 1-0 down before rallying back. Think back, its just like their season in 1999 where they win the treble. They were twice down against the italians before coming back to overturn the score. In the finals, they are down with minutes to go before scoring twice....similarities huh? Its their season again?
Actually looking at the other result between chelsea and valencia - chelsea is more stressed. They conceded an away goal, and have to go Valencia needing to win.
Now, the only team thru is Liverpool. -
So Park will be playing for the next leg?
-
I am so pissed.. Stayed up all night just to see that kind of display.. KNN CB O Shea first time playing soccer ah? CB Mancini get passed him so easily.. Whats with the losing of posession? Where is the farkin hunger? KNN Luckily Roma finishing not so good.. CB all the fucking long shots the Roma players are taking... Man U players wait until their balls all shrinkled up then pressure them ah? Half farked attempt to win balls back.. Are they tired? Bloody disappointing.. The passes are soo off.. So unlike Man U.. They need to buck up seriously.. if not forget about getting any cups..
-
In a way its not such a bad thing actually... If it was a draw match, united's way of doing things would be to defend in the 2nd leg and hope to score on the break but this would also allow Roma to play their game. But now that Roma are leading, they may start the game by defending most of the first half and not try to attack too much.
It could still be good for united as this result could actually fire up united as they need a result or at least the first goal... This way, they may actually start the match playing to their own style rather than hold back most of the time... And should they manage to get that 1st goal, Roma would be very nervous and have to come out more. -
wah lau eh scholesy...1st time im so disappointed with him

Let me see
The cups that they can win
Man Utd are leading at the top of the EPL (Their title is theirs to lose)
League cup winners
Champions league (possible)
FA cup (possible)
Just one off game (against roma) and you come lashing at them like as if they have not performing for months ! Do you know the likes of Liverpool , Arsenal or even Chelsea would be glad to swop places with your team ? So Stop KBKB and instead encourage the team , encourage them to play better in the return leg. Your position is better than Chelsea's in the sense that you just need a 1-0 win to progress to the next round while Chelsea needs to win 1-0 , 2-1 or draw 2-2 to progress. Their task are more difficult . -

you mean should praise them for playing badly? at least hes honest that they sucked in that match -
don't use scold leh.. we are on the same side..Originally posted by hisoka:whats wrong with scolding his team when they played badly?

actually to come out 2-1, I won't say that they suck.
what you expect, MUFC are robots and they perform like against blackburn most times??
Roma is 2nd in Italian League, and despite in the UCL for first time, they also did their home work, and it did not help with so many MUFC players out.
And then ten men. Imagine 2-0 down, or like PSV 3-0, then we in hot waters..
Well to Airbus, don't take offend hor..
We still got chance, don't despair. Rem,what we did to Juventus. -
well we could question why its 10 men firstOriginally posted by iceFatboy:don't use scold leh.. we are on the same side..

roma's good i agree. -
Everyone is entitle to an off day, It was not as simple as some people made it out to be, Roma is no push-over team... And to be fair, they did a rather professional job considering that the team probably was "shock" to be reduce to 10 men so early in the match... Their game plan before the match was thrown out of the window from that moment onwards. Whatever it is, the team tried despite all the injuries to their defenders they still manage to get an important away goal...Originally posted by hisoka:whats wrong with scolding his team when they played badly?

At the end of the day, even if they don't make it... it is just part and parcel of the game and we just have to accept it and move on.
Don't forget, the most important one is the EPL title. -
one of the first times i seen SAF clapping when they lost a match..
-
I think SAF must have sensed that they could win the return leg - they needed only 1-0 to win. Its a difficult match and although reading TNP, the reporters did not have good thing to say abt the team's peformance.
i din watch the match, hence I cannot comment on their performance but as I said earlier - getting 2-1 (in fact scoring a goal) with one man down is remarkable. The valuable thing is, we have an away goal.
I think Man U is having lady luck with them this season, almost seemingly dead against Liverpool, Liverpool cannot score and O'shea can score to win. Down against blackburn can come back to win 4-1. So, lets see Roma, what we have install for them.... -
i agree, but its still reasonable to comment that they played badly for the match and tell them to buck up.Originally posted by zocoss:Everyone is entitle to an off day, It was not as simple as some people made it out to be, Roma is no push-over team...

actually even if they lost the epl also lan lan have to move on and accept -
considering we had 10 men for over 60mins of the match, being able to net the away goal was good enough for me!
