I don't usually do this crossword (golf Sundays), so I'm not on the compiler's wavelength. I can't see the wordplay for this one - can anyone explain, please?

1d Fielder upset about finish (3-3)
M?D-?F?

It must be MID-OFF, but..........?

I wondered if it had something to do with "miffed", but that would give "mid-eff"!

miff- upset
do -finish (according to Anne Bradford)

Thanks elle
Despite the opinion of the sainted Anne, I'm not convinced about do=finish! Done-finished, though.

sorry , typo, 13A!

13a?
ASSIS(t) around DUO (pair) U(nited) (as in MANU

That went off before I had finished
MAN U (Manchester United)

This minute delay is getting irritating!

Thanks ,Chris, I would never have got that!
I was completely on the wrong lines....was thinking 'aid' for support.....and couldn't make anything else fit!
