U18s: United vs Nottingham Forest

I agree on the general point. Refs get way too much abuse. I still think it was a stupid booking though.
Just love watching McAllister play. So determined, wears his heart on his sleeve and has a lot of good qualities.

Bailey on for Curley.

Rueban Curley looked a cut above this level. I can only assume his minutes are being managed
The ref has booked (I think) 6 players today, at least half of them aren't usually bookings at this level.
I think it's fair to criticise him.

Considering we’re a man down we’re playing really well. Moving the ball from side to side and Forest look a bit lost. Big momentum shift.
Fletch, Ibragimov, Amass and co. next to our bench supporting their teammates.
The crowd getting annoyed with the refs.
As a crowd member points out you need to stay off for 30 seconds now if injured. Forest player comes back on immediately & nabs the ball back.
20 minutes to go, United should calm down a bit.
Yeap, that’s definitely not the way to let them in.
Yeah but you get what you pay for, so don't blame the ref
A lot of familiar faces watching on the sidelines. As the women’s team ends their session Geyse stops to see what the U18s football is all about.
However this one ends I must say we’ve reacted so well in the second half.
Much better performance - but we are overplaying it outside our own box now
77’
Armer on for Fitzgerald.

Yeah. Also rushing it too much. Still 15 mins to go.
But bookings at this level usually requires homicides. I have never understood why the levels for bookings should be so much higher at this level
83’
Jim Thwaites on, Kukonki off. Strong performance from GK.

Like the look of Thwaoted
If only we crossed some of those low. We’re aiming at Baumann, Thwaites, Musa etc.
Kingdon has done really well in winning tackles and keeping the pressure up

Thwaites pulled to the ground

2-1 Musa penalty - sends the goalie the wrong way. In the 91st minute 
Yep, him and McAllister have given absolutely everything they’ve got.
2-1!!!!!
Invaluable experience this match.
Now hold the feck on!
No-one at MUTV realised they've been playing sounds from Old Trafford for the last ten minutes or so? Really annoying
Really annoyingFT 2-1 (Kingdon, Musa)
What a turnaround from such a young team. Will do wonders for their confidence.

It's being commentated from OT.No-one at MUTV realised they've been playing sounds from Old Trafford for the last ten minutes or so?

I checked all my tabs for 15 times! Was wondering where the feck that is coming from.Have to give a lot of credit to Thwaites - what he did before getting pulled down was really impressive
A lot of spirit in the 2nd half to get the goals and finish well on top despite the 10 men.
Despite coming off a while before the end I still think Curley was our best player today and McAllister after him

Brilliant second half performance. All of the 16s who came on did really well, especially considering they had been playing on the other pitch themselves.
What a terrific game!
McAllister is truly a gritty captain. Thwaites looks like a five-year-old baby.
