FL Show BBC1

[waggy]

The Football League Show is about to start on BBC1... should be top of the shop?

[Saint_clark]

Think the order is done on who is top of the table at the start of the day? So we should be second...

[DG]

I'm guessing Leicester v Reading first, then us maybe? Or Millwall/Forest/Skates/Brighton

[Saint]

I assumed they picked the most exciting matches to go first. Surely if the top team has a snore draw and there's a 4-4 draw at the bottom they will choose the latter over the former.

Or not. Birmingham v Coventry? Pfft.

[Dr Who?]

I think the Cov manager is going to have a heart attack.....oh and they always have a feature match.

[Nexstar]

Think they choose the 2 main games before the weekend

[SparkySaint]

We won't be next, this is the BBC

[waggy]

Oh well third up, better than having to wait 40 minutes for a 15 sec slot

[Nexstar]

Aaaand see you in 3 matches time Chaplow!

[LGTL]

Oh I do love Nigel Adkins!

[Crazy Diamond]

Keith Hill... Worst dressed manager ever? Purple shirt, silver and blue striped tie, grey suit and brown shoes. Oh dear.

 

I used to work at AFC Bournemouth and met him in the tunnel before a game once. Looked like a bloody farmer! Here's what I mean...

 

 

Someone feel free to do some photoshopping by the way, that water bottle can be easily changed.

[Lighthouse]

Didn't think it was a red at the time, but having seen FLS; what a plank!

[Saint_clark]

What a cheeky goal by Connolly.

[waggy]

We'll need sunglasses at sms when BHA visit, wtf is that away strip all about?!!

[DG]

What was that from Chaplow! In other news, Brighton's away kit will give me nightmares.

[CB Fry]

We won't be next, this is the BBC

 

Yes dear. The bbc are sooooo anti-saints aren't they? It's quite sickening how pro-coventry they are. Always been the way, though. BBC world famous for their pro

Coventry bias and their utter hatred of southampton.

I blame Jimmy Hill.

Why do the BBC hate Saints? Not seen it myself apart from idiots like Lawrenson when we were in top flight. Claridge is usually quite complimentary about Saints to be fair.

...seriously?

[LGTL]

I'm pretty sure CB Fry was being sarcastic as usual.

[AndyNorthernSaints]

...seriously?

 

Seriously what?

 

BBC don't hate saints?

 

Claridge often praises Saints?

[cryoman1965]

Ummm bit of an anti climax. Best bit was Lawrence missing the Pen for poopey. Quality

[cryoman1965]

Seriously what?

Claridge often praises Saints?

 

And he often done his best to avoid complementing them.

[JackanorySFC]

Cracks me up the clowns caining multiple trophy winning players like lawro's opinions when we were in the Prem. Back in the saintsforever days someone went through Lawro's predictions for the season and if he was correct we would have had 10+ more points than we actually did.

 

Embarrassing and thick.

[Dr Who?]

I like Claridge, never used to, but he really does praise Saints and calls them a big club very often. Yes his heart is in the Skates camp, but he knows the score and anyone can see we are streets above the Skates on and off the field!!

Totally agree, I think he generally calls it about right.

Connolly did well to squeeze that ball in between the Barnsley defender and the post. Top work.

 

The Chaplow incident looked like a split second moment of madness... simply because his leg was already there

I agree with you that Lawro isn't anti-Saints, but being a multiple trophy winner doesn't mean he is a good pundit/commentator. He is infuriatingly bad. He gets a regular gig on Today FM (Radio Station) here in Ireland, on a show called The Last Word. He constantly gives "inside scoops" on transfers and whatnot that never come true, even though he's definite they'll happen as an "involved friend" has told him. He rolls off the same useless rhetoric that the majority of pundits do. He's wretched.

 

Unfortunately, the longer TV stations assume that old player will automatically make a good pundit/commentator, and the longer the likes of sky play to the lowest common denominator, we'll have to put up with Lawro and his ilk. There are so many good journos out there who would do infinitely better jobs but will never see the light of TV day.

[John Boy Saint]

That goal from Conolly was a real Magicians slight of hand: how the chuff did he get the ball through that gap!!??

 

Anyone else think it's a bit shoite highlighting the promotion and relegation places on the tables 2 matches in, yes it looks nice to Saints position highlighted, but most of us know where we have to be on the last day of the season.

I'm not too sure that there was any malice in it though - it was more a case of as you said before, his leg was already there and coming down - it's one of those where I think you have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Yes his studs caught him but, I think it was more clumsy than premeditated.

[saintmatt]

I like Claridge, often mentions Saints as "a big club" etc. Also, one consistency you seem to get across all club forums is that the BBC has an agenda against their club.. Sinply not true, we can't all be first on

Yeah, that's how I see it having watched the replay. He swung to kick the ball and got it so his studs were up, and it looked like the Barnsley player just ran into his foot almost deliberately. I think we would have a decent case if we appealed against it.

Strange, I thought it a straight red.

[Lets B Avenue]

At least they have dropped the cringeworthy, fans section.

[Sheaf Saint]

It would warrant a straight red if he went in studs up with no intention of winning the ball. He swung and made contact with the ball and was closer to it than the Barnsley player was so had every right to go for it, therefore it wasn't even a 'challenge' as such.

 

Having said that, I can see why the ref could have seen it as a straight red at the time because the contact did look nasty.

[del boy]

Ummm bit of an anti climax. Best bit was Lawrence missing the Pen for poopey. Quality

 

Although a draw would maybe have been a better result?

[old_southy]

That Chaplow challenge was filth, what was he thinking? Kicking the ball was good but then extending his leg out into the players groin? WTF.

[Viking Warrior]

ols southy.

 

I take it your not a saints fan Chaplows challenge wasnt filth as you described it. PS You should have gone to spec savers

[Hatch]

I agree with this.

Dno't be a plumb. He booted the ball away then he stuck his boot quite deliberately into the Barnsley player.

 

Chaplow is a good player to have in the squad but let's not pretend he doesn't play like a complete thug at times.

[Secret Site Agent]

Did anybody eles do what I did and not start viewing until halfway through, forgetting that we had gone up and would be on BEFORE the midnight change to league one?
