The worst ever European performance and result for Man United.

Carrick won't be surviving the chop now and not all on him with those in charge of transfers in the summer choosing to not sign a left back and striker.

The players response this season has been shameful, 7th game without a win now and getting outrun in every game.

Are players waiting for another interim to spark them into life and give a general effort again

All the county final results have I missed any?

Leitrim senior final gone to replay

Ballinamore Seán O'Heslins: 1-14  Fenagh St. Caillin's: 2-11

When that close to ending a famine it won't be easy for Fenagh to lift things for the replay.

Tom Prior denied his neighbours their first Leitrim title in 94 years when snatching a dramatic draw for Ballinamore when he fired to the Fenagh net almost at the end of a entertaining Leitrim decider in Carrick-on-Shannon.

1st half considering the mediocre level of opposition that had to be among the worst performances any Man United team ever produced with players walking around the pitch and showed zero work rate.

Better 2nd half (or so it appeared) and took the lead with a well worked goal on 73 minutes then Spurs got a man sent off 5 minutes later which would be curtains for them against most other teams but not this group of United players who are unable to keep clean sheets or beat ten men

Next up a trip to Spain and will be a surprise if Atlético Madrid don't win by at least 3 goal margin on Tuesday.

[Thank Christ that is over and done with.]

Thank Christ that is over and done with.

Terrible game tonight but travelling to those games and all the baggage doesn't help.

UEFA washed their hands of it all.

Absolutely. If not already known Uri Geller proved himself to be a spoon bending gobshite

Kerry quarterfinal games next weekend:

North Kerry v An Ghaeltacht
East Kerry v Spa
Austin Stacks v Dr Crokes
Rathmore v Kenmare Shamrocks

If East or North Kerry win it then out who represents Kerry in Munster?

Flip side. What about a Liverpool team that took that city team to the absolute limits twice in the league, a team that was found to be cheating, what do they deserve?

That's the awkward part to resolve no doubt.

But it still requires a dose of (albeit much less) "if my aunt had balls, she'd be uncle". For it's not as likely Scouse would have commandeered such a points total, had they not faced the pressure put on them by City.

Whilst I don't disagree, in short they've fucked it up in so many different ways. Made a mockery of the whole thing

Tdf wall of fame sits empty for 7yrs due to lance the premiership will now have a similar set of results

Now we have sponsors threatening to get involved, one of the city owners has diplomatic immunity which may complicate things. Goes way beyond football now

Games gone

Null and void is the way to go with those Sham years. And remember they will surely investigate 2019 to present as no way did City stop cheating in 2018.

Punishment should also include those owners to sell up.

Etihad threatening to sue the Premier League. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A English Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince people that state ownership of clubs should never be allowed, then nothing ever will.

Will  AGGGUUERRRROOOOOO be consigned to the dustbin  now, never to be spoken of  or seen again?

Will be forever judged in the manner as we look at Ben Johnson the Olympic champion Or Lance Armstrong seven consecutive Tour de France winner nowadays.

The word Scam used 8 times in yesterday Premier League damning statement. The lads in charge at City need to stop embarrassing themselves and take their punishment now.

And among that punishment should  be to get stripped of all titles won in that period and removed from the Premier League.

Mayo senior relegation final in Ballyhaunis today

After 55 minutes played
Balla 0-13 Ballaghaderreen 0-8

A few weeks short of his 43rd birthday Andy Moran off the bench starts the comeback with two points.

0-13 each 62 minutes played before Balla edged a point in front again.

Last score of the game on 64 minutes Ballaghaderreen goal to win 1-13 to 0-14 and stay up.

Player of the year is about far more than scoring though or you'd just give it to the top scorer every year. That 13-0 turnover stat says it all for me. R O'D has to get it and by a country mile.

Player of the year being based on turnovers. Games gone

Huge part of the game more so than ever under the new rules.

Mayo showed their full hand in the semi-final in regards to turnovers. Also showed that almost everything went through Ryan O'Donoghue

Yet Kerry didn't appear to do their homework at all and had the arrogance of thinking win midfield and the Clifford's will do the rest.   

Fulham haven't beaten United at home since 2009 and United gave them a helping hand today with scoring for them and they still didn't win.

Big pressure on Carrick now for collecting just 5 points from 5 league games. 

8 goals scored (5 was v Ipswich) from 102 shots and 8 goals conceded from 50 shots.

Newcastle,Everton and now Man City that United have lost to with ten men. Bad enough for it to happen once but to make it a habit.

Carrick no doubt will get lots of criticism and pressure on him after that however it was Manchester Derby and regardless of who is on the sideline the United players should be self motivated in front of their home support and should be showing a bit of passion and desire instead of the timid display they produced.

Mainoo about the only player that put in a decent effort. Dalot,Dorgu was like two headless chickens in full back positions.   

Two points dropped by conceding in the 6th minute of added time to a player that hasn't scored a goal for 8 years, will he ever strike the ball as cleanly again?

The lack of closing down shots that should be basic defending was very poor by United for both Everton goals.

2 goals conceded v Ipswich,Everton,Hull and up next in the Premier League is Man City with Haaland and co.

Rashford was limping before taken off and other than Sesko none of the subs made an impact.

Would have to question the timing of that departure. Was rumours about a month ago on a player vote against Joyce which Galway GAA later rubbished. 

So why has it taken him from June 28th to now September 3rd to decide to step down? He also told the media after the championship exit to Dublin that he had two years left.

It all suggests much like Monaghan something behind the scenes has made him to step aside.

Credit to Hull worked their socks off and fully deserved their win.  The fact a club like them who finished 6th in the championship last season was able to make themselves hard to score against and beat was some comparison to that United team.  Once again United hopeless in defending set pieces.


Ipswich will be licking their lips before facing that United team next
