Dunphy in full bullshit mode tonight. These boys are some laugh on nights like this.

Aye... the baby is going out with the bathwater big time...

What where they saying on RTE?

Everything is finished... they are winding up Manchester United Football Club in the morning!!

[Bensars]

Dunphy "United are finished. The fat lady has sung. Only one team in Manchester and they wear blue"

Aye... they don't half go overboard either.  What would you do in the morning (if you were connected with United)?  A bottle of whiskey and a pistol... FFS 

They are correct to a point but they are over-doing it to the point of just saying things for the dramatic effect

Thought that was a great match. The writing was on the wall for united when they went down to 10 men and i think they would have held on if they had of kept 11 on the pitch. They also missed some chances just after the sending off which made me think it wasn't gonna be their night.

Fair play to Bayern they played some really good stuff over the 2 legs & u can't deny them their place in the semi. Wonder strike from Robben, deserving of winning any tie. Thought Fergie was a bit unsporting with some of his comments after the game, he shoulda at least congratulated BM and wished them all the best, the BM players didn't do anything Utd's, or indeed most clubs', players have done.

Ferguson reduced to playing the race card ! 'Typical germans running towards the referee'
Absolute bollox, the ref was reaching for a card staright away and a blind man could see 'the young lad' had made a complete balls of it. And the xenophobic interviewer asking about targeting Rooney's injury ? They didn't.Any more straws to clutch?
Anyway, tune your Sony TVs to channel 5 tomorrow night and get behind the real Reds.

No he wasn't.

Yes he was.As soon as he blew.Are you saying it wasn't a yellow card ?

Poor form from Fergie there with the 'typical Germans' remark. Keane et al were masters at the referee intimidation.

Really enjoyed the game tonight thought it was gripping stuff to be honest.  United started like a house on fire, Bayern couldnt handle nani or Valencia on the wings and Rooney was brillaint at holding the ball up and bringing other players into the game (see Gibsons goal for reference on this).  For the first 35 minutes United where dominate and it looked like how many it would be, they where working like trojans chasing down Bayern players and not giving them a minute to settle on the peil at all. 

You have to give credit where credit is due though, with about 10 minutes to go in the first half Bayern really got a hold of themselves and started to play a bit after the shell-shock of going 3 goals down.  Fair play to them, a lesser team would have thrown the head up and said f**k this, 3-0 down in old Trafford, damage limitation job here, but they didnt, Bayern started to get Ribery and Robben more invloved and Lamh started to attack a bit.  Olic also started to throw his weight about and got rewarded, abliet with some shocking defending from carrick who in my opnion is a shocking player and no where near good enough to play Lar Naparka for United.  The sending off had a profound impact but again Bayern where outstanding in their ball retention, however still, to me, i though Nani and Valencia looked like they could catch them on the break.  Robben scored a wonder strike but something had to give with the pressure they where under.  Hard tp defend solid for 40 minutes with no real posession.  All in all a really good game but over the 2 legs i think the best team won.  Think the Germans had that extra bit of quality where it mattered.

I will once again show my quote i said a few weeks ago when the draw for this tie was made and everyone was buying their plane tickets for Madrid.

Underestimate the Germans at your peril.  this will not be an easy tie, Bayern will be stiff opposition, they have a right bit of quality in their team.

NEVER WRITE OFF THE GERMANS.

You heard it here first.

Hate to say I told you.....no wait I Dont    get in there Bayern.

Rooney off with a broken foot also, could it all go pear shaped for United?  Bayern where the better side, more quality than United.

I think the thread title should be updated to include the three defeats since the win against Liverpool.

Oh Ross4life, where are all the smiley faces now?

Although Dunphy may have gone over the top, his has  a point. This may be a very significant night for United in the grand scheme of things. On the other hand a massive night for Bayern and the fact that due to the finacial restrictions of the Bundesliga they are debt free and attracting investment. Saying that there are a few english clubs in severe financial crisis and the days of having a few clubs in the last 4 of the CL will be a long time coming around again.
