So glad I watched United instead of NZ. Possibly the best game of football I've ever seen (in my short 3 years of watching it).

Execellent game, glad I got up and watched it, and I have to say Wes Brown >>>>> Daniele Bonera anytime, anywhere IMO and I don't know what was the injury to Maldini.

Darren Fletcher, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were great for MU whilst only really Kaka' turned up for Milan and geez he really is gun as much as it is killing me to say so. You guys in England and Scotland would get a different feed to us, as ours comes via ESPN to SBS and it would show a caption when they brought the players name up and it would show much metres they covered, how on earth to they work out such a thing?

Dida for me is Mr Inconsistent for mine, he can make some brilliant saves and play like he is the best out there, but can be absolutely rank.

Yeah really wishing Kaka didn't exist just now, he's a bit good, but as I said, that's a bloody good result for us given the circumstances.

Tbf I've been shouting to get him off, he's been dire in this game until now.

Rooney is a legend. :happy:
Haha, me too, he wasnt in the game at all untill that pass.... I'll forgive him a lifetime of sins for that.

I thought Fergie missed a trick by keeping Giggs/Ronaldo on the wrong flanks. Ronaldo was cutting in every time, he's not overly confident crossing with his left, wheras on the right he can go either way (he doesnt mind a left peg shot). However the only thing Giggs has ever done with his right foot is p*ss on his shoe, he's not effective enough on that side.

Cant wait for Milan, especially as i'll be there!!

Tell me about it, dad went to the Roma match, got offered tickets for the Milan game, early birthday pressie! (though it would be the ultimate insult if that was my birthday presant, we got to the final, and he went without me!!!)

Havent been to a European game (or indeed any non league cup game for that matter) since Maccabi years back when Forlan broke his duck (was behind the goal, just above the crossbar, oh how i winced when he was taking that pen!)

Yea, that's the way. Forget about stopping half a dozen goals a season by being off your line so being able to get to some through balls before the attacker. Just make sure you're rooted to the line instead so someone can't score that one freak goal past you in your whole career.
Haha Scaly, I don't think keepers should be rooted to their line, but wandering aimlessly is stupid.

Question for the football rulebook brains in the forum.

Do the yellow cards for Heinze, Scholes etc. from the quarter final still carry through to the next game? There's a bit of confusion about this on the United forums I post at. Apparently Scholes, Heinze and Ronaldo could still miss the final if they get a yellow in the next game despite the fact that they came through last night without being booked.

I always thought the two yellow cards rule applied in the group stage, and then again in the knockout stages, so the point at which all yellow cards were eradicated was the end of the group stage.

That would mean that yes, yellow cards carry forward from the quarter to the semi. Not 100% sure though.

Figures, typical clueless ***** at UEFA do it again. The responsibility for the trouble lied solely with Roma and the police/stewarding/etc.

Managed Southampton and Portsmouth (twice) eh, bet he wouldn't of been too popular, but RIP though, will be sadly missed. Still he was able to one thing in his career some of the games greatest players have never done and that is win a World Cup.

Actually he was, IIRC, very popular with both. The two South Coast teams are actually better than most at forgetting a player's past - Peter Crouch still gets cheered at Fratton, and with Redknapp as manager, it'd be a bit hypocritical to jeer any players with connections to both clubs.

Well it's not quite Barcelona and Real Madrid. :p
