Can't believe that some are slagging sky about us not knowing the rules. Clearly this Is something of interest to journalists and a valid talking point. We fucked up badly and frankly it's a disgrace that we have done so.
Yes it was a great result and all credit to the players for an excellent performance. But as someone else has pointed out, imagine if United made this mistake we'd be pissing ourselves. And how much did Alan Ball get slagged off for something similar but more understandable in the heat of the moment? I'm not saying its Pelligrini's fault nor the players; the club has messed up badly. Bayern knew what the rules were. Even if you only consider the financial implications of an easier passage to the last 8 it has potentially cost us. Of course we will never know if we'd have scored but we were denied the opportunity - and those that travelled all that way may be a little disappointed that despite the historic victory, it could have been epic.
Yes...I'm so ashamed about us "fucking up" and beating Bayern at the Allianz, Off with their heads!
