Great start over, yes?

Fixed it for you

[Sheaf Saint]

Well that's weird. My stream froze for a moment and then when it restarted I had the Blackburn comms team, and now it's back to Deano.

World class save from that freekick by Bazunu, not sure how he got a hand to that.

What's the situation with Sam Gallagher btw? Just seen that he hasn't played since mid-September

Calf injury in Sept according to Google

Ah, ok. Cheers 

[Saint NL]

Love a tackle on the keeper 

[AlexLaw76]

Have we properly worked their keeper yet?

[adrian lord]

Only three goals in the championship so far

No but their defender just did. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fantastic move then but the wrong man was on the end of the shot. FFS Russ put Bree on the fucking left…it’s not that difficult is it???!!!

Fixed for you! 😁

Very standard performance. Lots of getting into good areas but absolutely no goal threat, other than Stu’s curler that was always going wide. 
 

Big striker sized gap on the pitch when we’re in possession in the final third. 

[AlexLaw76]

Another Russell-ball bore fest then, yes?!

I don't think this is the standard performance. We've moved the ball quicker going forwards and played it forwards a lot more than usual in the first half hour.

Hopefully we don't revert to type... 

[Saint NL]

Unlucky, good save by their keeper

[Saint Fan CaM]

KWP and Aribo not on the same page

[Viking Saint]

Close....we're not far off...

[Saint NL]

Looked like a peno

Looks like we already have.

[Bad Wolf]

How's that not a pen?!

[OttawaSaint]

Stonewall penalty. Not given. Downes yellow.

 

Fuck off ref!

[trousers]

That'd a penalty all day long. Shite ref.

[Viking Saint]

That's a penalty every day of the week 

[trousers]

And now he gives us a softer free kick. Twatting prick of a ref. 

Edited 16 December, 2023 by trousers

[Saint Fan CaM]

Nailed on pen! Then gives exactly the same outside the box. Dick of a ref.

[Osvaldorama]

You basically have to be stabbed to be awarded a pen in this league 

[The Kraken]

Good start from Saints.

As ever I find us a bit predictable up front. With todays lineup you just know that Edozie will be on the left, Adarma towards the right, no proper striker in the middle but Stu and Slowmo Joe arriving later through the middle. Just need to be a bit clever, switch it around a bit, play like a low rent Liverpool when they had Salah, Mane and Firmino, they’d pop up all over the front three.

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Shocking refereeing. Absolute stonewall penalty.

Who's still missing VAR?

We need VAR…

And north of Blackburn is the gorgeous Trough of Bowland, and further on is the Lake District.

The best part of the country is the lakes. ❤️ 

[adrian lord]

Oh well we got away with one last week I seem to remember

[OttawaSaint]

Ref is a fucking cheat!

[trousers]

Now Aribo concedes a free kick for pulling. Where's the f***ing consistency? Twats.

Edited 16 December, 2023 by trousers

[Saint NL]

Ref again 😂

[AlexLaw76]

71% possession 

6 corners

3 shots on target (they have 2)

Commentator: "after a dominant first half a goal for saints would now be the icing on the cake" 

Erm, I'd suggest we actually finish baking the cake first...

[adrian lord]

I think they should bring in a new rule that in the event of a draw, the team with the highest percentage of possession is awarded three points.  😉

[OttawaSaint]

Edozieeeee!

[AlexLaw76]

Edozie scores!!!

[Saint NL]

Edozie again, 1-0

[Saint Fan CaM]

Get the fucking fuck in!!!! Edozie again!!!

[Suhari]

Blimey.

We scored from a corner.

Is he going to be the answer to more goals 🤔

Never any doubt, yes?
