Begging my boss like crazy for an early finish to get down there!

Different circumstance being as I experienced and still suffer from Sheffield along with thousands of others, but I never work April 15.

My only stipulation in any job I do and nobody hasn't been accommodating in that. Hardest day of any year and work is the very last thing on your mind.

Tbh my boss has been good 11:30 finish. Should take between 2hrs 45ms and 3 hrs to get there from Lincolnshire. Might miss the start.
 
Just back from the remembrance ceremony at OT. What an emotionally draining day! Honestly bubbled most of the way through it. Fantastic turn out inside and out the stadium! The snow falling just added to an already somber and eery atmosphere. Then it almost stoping not long after it finished was chilling.

RIP The Busby Babes. Never forgotten and always alive the Flowers of Manchester! :(

Agendas are cute.
 
[h=1]UEFA Youth League - FK Brodarac vs Manchester United[/h]
Kick off At 5:30 pm GMT
Live on BTSport 3
Extended highlights on MUTV at 11 pm GMT today.

Ro-Shaun Williams is captaining the side, with Angel Gomes and Indy Boonen also in the squad, but there is no Tahith Chong, as the in-form winger is still being treated carefully after his knee operation. Luca Ercolani and Aidan Barlow are unavailable and keeper Ilias Moutha-Sebtaoui is still absent.
 
U19s Vs Brodarac
Fojticek, Tanner, O'Connor, Warren, R.Williams, Garner, Hamilton, Gomes, Boonen, Burkart, Bohui
Subs: Thompson, Kenyon, Dunne, B. Williams, Laird, Levitt, Bughail-Mellor
 
Seeing the pitch the u19s are having to play on explains why Chong hasn't been risked

Bohui and Boonen have already both taken elbows to the head inside the first 4 minutes. Deliberate to. Every United player who takes a touch has been smashed from behind so far. Ref really needs to get a grip of this game. Standard of refereeing in United's games the Youth League has been genuinely pathetic. Refs seem to presume the English team are going to be dirty so allow the opposition to foul & dive as much as they want while penalising any physicality from United.

1-0 United as Garner & Bohui linked up well before Boonen cuts inside & shoots from 20 yards & his shot is spilled over the line by the keeper

2-0 United as Warren takes down Gomes free kick inside the box, turns and crosses and the ball is deflected in off the head of a defender

Almost 3-0 as Gomes shows brilliant quick feet to beat 2 defenders in the box but his shot is pushed wide by the keeper

2-0 to United at half time. Williams, Boonen & Garner very good in the first half.

Bughail-Mellor replaces Burkart at half time to make his u19s debut

Bohui caught with a boot in the face, the Brodarac player somehow contesting the yellow card when it should easily have been red

Gomes is absolutely cleaned out with a diving lunge & again the ref shows nothing when it should easily have been red

Another Brodarac player booked after hitting Williams off the ball and then the ref books Williams for complaining about the rough treatment. Terrible refereeing yet again

Gomes again cleaned out as he has been any time he's tried to run with the ball. United will do well to get out of this game without any serious injuries.

Dylan Levitt replaces Josh Bohui in the 77th minute. U19s debut for Levitt

U19s: FT - Brodarac 0 #MUFC 2. A professional job by United in difficult circumstances against combative opponents. The first-half goals proved enough to clinch a place in the @UEFAYouthLeague round of 16.

Ref was an absolute joke!!!! I’m surprised we didn’t get any injuries and even more surprised they didn’t have at least 3 reds!

Few reporting this great news if true!


"The player still has 18 months left on his £80,000-a-week contract, after United took up a one-year option last year to automatically extend his deal into 2019.
But Shaw has since impressed Mourinho in recent weeks and has a chance for a rare run in the side from now until the summer, with the Old Trafford giants planning to tie him down on improved terms and longer contract."
 
They had him at RB, interestingly. They have James Chester + Terry, tricky to be a guaranteed CB. In which case, the choice of loan destination could've been better.

Yeah agree. Was never gonna displace either of those. Even though he’s better than Chester. But they are a very good partnership. Don’t mind him playing RB this season as long as he’s playing and gaining experience before returning to us next season. Mourinho has some thinking to do on the CB situation. Unless he sends him out on loan again, and keeps the rest.

Tbh with the likes of Warren, Williams coming through now also at nearly the same age and ability as Tuanzebe will be an interesting canundrem for the club!

Also be interested to see what happens with Riley and Mitchell, Poole are all good enough to be squad players imo.

The likes of Ercolani, Olesunde will be kept around to make up the numbers and provide experience for the likes of Oconner, Barrett, Dunne and Dishon Bernard coming through from the 18s.

Theres a lot in our u23s now where it’s tome to move on either in the club or to another. Wilson, Riley, Mitchell, Willock, Poole, Hamilton, Johnstone, Henderson, O hara. Charlie Scott has already agreed a move away. Redmond is another one.

They have already promoted the likes of Boofonge, Boonen, Sebatoui, Gomes, Chong. Will be more before end of the season. Burkart is another one.
