I thought the result was fair, the better team won but by Christ a good chunk of the match was an insipid bore-fest.

Thank god for the Mancs 12th man - Clattenberg. What a total self centred tosser. Rooney should have been off. And those three early whistles, wtf
Anyway I thought Danny Murphy hit the nail on the head - Man U relying on mono brow Fellani is LOL.
Can't see we deserved the win, but for all their resources Man Utd were pretty poor.
Off to cry in my Beer, and it is Bitter too.

Flip that to Cabeye's assault on Rashford that could have had you down to 10. So swings and roundabouts. Shattenberg deffo a poor showing can't see him covering English refs in glory when he dies the CL final next weekend. Can't say we deserved the win either gutted Carrick missed that header but wow what a winner from Lingard

There are more poor cup finals than good ones. No one wants to be the guy in all the papers next day who cost his team the match and players play it safe.

The Scottish Cup Final was a cracking match.

Well you got your wish. He has been sacked.
I feel a sorry for him, they could have given him a day or two at least.

Bloody hell, winning the cup used to mean a better contract -

Shows how little the competition matters now. I think Man U are taking a big chance, they might find JM's best days are behind him. Few managers are successful for more than a decade before they become stale and he hasn't won too much in recent years.

It's a results business lack of champions league qualification is not the end of the world however the atrocious style of football he bought to OT is the main problem awful displays lack of goals and attacking play etc.

If, as it seems, JM is appointed I will *iss myself laughing.
I remember reading on eg RedCafe page after page of anti-JM bile accusing him of negative tactics, playing anti-football and grinding out 'boring' 1-nil wins.
The media were in on the sentiment too so it will be interesting to see how they and MUFC fans react to his style of play.
Tbh I think it's an odd appointment for the club as the MUFC style of play is very much that of free flowing attack. Hardly a hallmark of JM's containment and counter attack philosophy.
I think JM is a great coach and he did us proud first time around and second time was great too until the absolutely shambolic debacle earlier this season - he's blotted his career as far as I'm concerned.
Imo he left us thoroughly screwed this season and this will ripple on into next season as we have for the first time in a long while no CL footy.
There were some other factors at play (poor transfer activity being one) but to my mind he lost the plot and embarrassed himself - MUFC are very welcome to him although I daresay he will be a difficult opponent to play against, at least until his next crisis!
