Manchester United Premier Cup: World Finals

[PS18]

Looks like there's a highlights show on MUTV on Sunday at half 12 (and half 6).

Anyone got any idea about lineups?

Edit: My bad on the earlier post, it's O'Brien celebrating scoring against Kedah and doing the forward roll. There are some pics now up of Wilson and Rothwell scoring against Sutherland Sharks.

I managed to record the (very brief) highlights of the two games today which were shown during the 6:30pm phone-in show.

For anyone who is interested, there is a repeat at 1am tonight, and 6am and 9:30am tomorrow. It's in the last 10 minutes of the show, so I did as I usually do with MOTD and quickly change channel just beforehand, so that it only records the part that I want.

I would imagine that any goals from the game against Porto and a possible Semi-Final will be shown on the "Countdown to Kick Off" show at 6:30pm tomorrow night.

 

[PS18]

The Porto game finishes 0-0, to penalties we go...

 

[PS18]

And a 3-1 defeat

And a 3-1 defeat

What a shame. I suppose that their age might be a reason that the games don't go to extra-time, but you would rather young boys be afforded every opportunity to settle it in the proper fashion, as opposed to the lottery of a penalty shootout.

It never feels like a fair outcome when you lose.

nickcoppack:

Utd 1-0 Right To Dream. Good early goal for the U-15s v the Ghana side.

 

[Ubik]

Is that a final position play-off?

Shame we went out on penalties, put in a good showing after a disappointing start though, and better things are expected of that age group as they grow, by the sounds of things.

 

[Joga_Bonito]

nickcoppack:

Penalty given. Right TO Dream can equalise from the spot.

He's missed. Dragged it wide. That's the last action of the half - Utd lead 1-0.

It is towards that, but the fixtures suggest that we might play another game after this one if we win it.

 

[datura]

They won 2-1, goals from Thompson and Pearson (a header right near the end to win it).

They will play either Newcastle or Internacional at 5.30pm for 5th/6th place.

 

[Ubik]

Three matches in a day? Ouch...

What's our best finish in this tournament then?

 

[ERICSAGOD]

Josh Harrop
8. James Weir
9. Daniel O'Brien
1. Daniel Atkinson (GK)
Omar Thompson
4. Joe Rothwell (c)
John Pritchard
Liam Grimshaw
14. James Wilson
10. Ben Pearson
Ben Barber
Nicolas Ioannou

Some of the players involved.

Anyone know if this lad is related to Bob Harrop who played for United during the Busby Babes era?

 

[Joga_Bonito]

Three matches in a day? Ouch...

What's our best finish in this tournament then?

Sixth, and the next game against Internacional will be the 5th/6th place play-off, so we can potentially finish higher than ever before.

 

[Mitch Conor]

Sixth, and the next game against Internacional will be the 5th/6th place play-off, so we can potentially finish higher than ever before.

That game is on MUTV at 5.30.

 

[Ubik]

Cheers for the info. At the very least matching our best performance then, very good showing from the young 'uns. Internacional will be a tough one, I presume. Either way, I'm sure Fergie'll be pleased with the turnaround.

 

[PS18]

We came second in 2004 I think.

 

[Joga_Bonito]

We came second in 2004 I think.

We did, losing to Man City, and I have no idea why I forgot about it because it was live on MUTV. I don't know why 6th stuck in my mind, either.

 

[datura]

The playoff is currently 1-1, Utd goal from Harrop.

 

[Joga_Bonito]

Premier Cup update. Reds lose 2-1 to Internacional. United finish sixth. Final tomorrow at OT: Barcelona v Pachuca.

 

[Joga_Bonito]

Porto:

Right to Dream:

 

[PS18]

Highlights show is just highlights of the final, annoyingly. Seems we're destined not to find out too much about this year's tournament.

I recorded it and had a quick skim through to see what it was.

Perhaps there will be a program at some point in the future, but there is clearly a reluctance to show too much of U16's. I can understand why but Barcelona apparently show live games of their much younger youth teams on their own TV channel.

 

[cj_sparky]

Skysports had a program for last years tournament

 

[PS18]

Would be nice to at least find out the full squad, hopefully that'll emerge at some point.

 

[sglowrider]

Maybe Fergie doesnt want kids at that age to be on TV in case it gets to their head. He said that about the U18s before.

 

[PS18]

Was a proper highlights show on this morning, just caught it when channel-hopping. Not sure if it'll be shown again, got most of the squad now though:

1. Daniel Atkinson
2. Joshua Harrop
3. Nicolas Ioannou
4. Joe Rothwell
5. Matthew Wilkinson
6. Ben Barber
7.
8. James Weir
9. Daniel O'Brien
10. Ben Pearson
11. John Pritchard
12.
13. Elliott Chadderton
14. James Wilson
15. Omar Thompson
16. Louis Rowley

One of the missing two is definitely Liam Grimshaw, #12 I think but not sure. The 14 names above are exactly the same as the Marveld squad (same numbers and everything) - #7 at Marveld was Ryan Shields/Shiels and #12 was Michael Starkey, so presumably the other player is one of those two.

Hopefully it'll be on again.

Sorry about the random bump but what a great photo.

Are you sure that's the right spelling?

Cheers, Reverend. How are things?

Well, I have been away for almost two months because of health issues and will be away again, but I will be beck to usual in terms of giving information here and following the youths and reserves in a few months.


Feel like I have not done my duty here this season and during the summer months!


The youths are more promising then most years. So much talent and promise.

Thanks.

Looked at the program again ans saw Shields was on in the second half in game one.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Bump.

SS2 are showing an hour long show on this tonight, right before the CC coverage.

 

[Mockney]

Bump again, cos it's on now.
