I didn’t see the game but Man Utd drawing with Leeds being seen as a source of “belief” for them is gas (when they were 1-0 up at half time too). It may/may not be true but the fact that that’s a possibility is hilarious to me
Manchester United draw some relief and perhaps some belief from that. Surely lessens pressure on Carrick. His players showed some fight and more intensity in challenging circumstances. Baleba good, had to be subbed as managing minutes. Maguire defiant. Otherwise still defensive issues. Martinez point remains valid #MUFC #LEEMUN

Swap Pats for Bohs tonight. Loads of chances, no points and season over (And maybe Bohs are alive again)
Think Bohs can argue that they were the better team for much of tonight’s game and for much of Friday’s game but 2 defeats and their season is effectively done. Missed chances and gifted goals away.

I presume the various, oft-quoted-in-the-media free speech warriors in Britain have commented on this?

You can’t be saying this when Glenn Cronin is your assistant 😀
Stephen Bradley calls on FAI to look at conduct of Bohs staff, blaming them for the post match scenes while also claiming a player gave Michael Noonan a dig Ongoing Bohs media ban means we didn’t get their response independent.ie/sport/soccer/…

Likely Noonan’s last act as a Rovers player? Maybe Devoy’s last as a Bohs player too now?
The post game cards are on FAI Connect. Reds for Devoy, O’Donnell, Noonan and Razi. Yellows for Burke and Sobowale
