*~*~* Luton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[MurtonMark]

You'd think we were 3-0 down reading some of these posts, it's 0-0 man FFS.

Not because of anything we’ve done.

Who's the co commentator?

[Sarcoid Kid]

That as 100% off-side, 100% correct decision. However the ref is a load of shite!

So are the commentators

 

[Rizla]

Aye I hate it when they aren't given, those type. I'd genuinely be saying the same if it was us. Anyone that's played the game knows it.

Not sure about that, when I played the game (albeit 20 years ago) that would be able been offside every day of the week.

 

[ExileBFG]

Ref has given them everything else. He's letting them foul us all over like. Just hoof us off the ball every time.

 

[CostadelRoker]

Exactly what I was expecting this. Luton are a very strong, physical side.

Hopefully we grab at least a point!

 

[roppa]

Rigg was a mistake tonight, it’s the epitome of men against boy, get an older head on and maybe throw Connolly on or paddy. Rigg is brilliant but f***ing foden would struggle against these especially with a ref who isn’t giving any protection against these big bastards

 

[hypersonic]

Worrying half there like.

I get that we're trying to draw them onto us and then play through, but our midfield three aren't at the races tonight.

We need Jobe, Neil and Browne to take the risk and turn their man. It's too easy for their midfield to stay touch tight on them and bully us back into our own third.

Horrible brutal long ball boot it up in the air football from them .We done well to withstand it so far.

Only if you completely ignore their offside player.

 

[YorkMackem]

These tactics were absolutely predictable and I'm disappointed fotmr the first time this season that the team haven't been properly prepared for it.

 

[The Great Soprendo]

The man in the middle wasnt. He went for the header in front of the keeper. Correct decision..

Indeed. Actually an excellent decision.

 

[magnum]

Need to get Roberts on and play Rigg centrally.

 

[Gronkowski]

Am I watching a different game or are people a bit thick. We didn’t “get away with one” there player is standing in front of patto and makes a move towards the ball from being miles offside, it’s a clear an offside as you’ll see.

This
He’s offside and moved to head the ball. There’s no debate

 

[Smartin]

For fuck's sake, give it a f***ing rest. You're beyond tedious.

They have both been terrible, we keep them on the pitch we lose.

 

[Kenna]

Games like this swing on taking your chances. Dan Neil has got to do better with his chance. We are incredibly lucky to be 0-0 not withstanding a shocking offside call.

Stop playing it around at the back, stop playing into middle pockets of the pitch where our players are facing our own goal. It’s suicide the man receiving the ball only has one way to go and it’s back towards our goal, only takes a dodgy touch or a referee call not going our way and they are in. Happened time and time again.

Get the ball out of the centre and slide it down the sides of them, get them turned to buy yourself some yards and play in their half. It’s f***ing simple.

Ball falls to anyone else and it's a goal, Neil really isn't good going forward

 

[chunksafc]

If this is football from Luton I think I will give up watching.

Hoof, hoof, foul, niggle

Shite

[Billy Batts]

Neil has to hit the target with his early chance. Pity his shooting is, in the main, f***ing awful.

 

[dangermows]

Clark comes from an offside position and tries to head the ball.

Its a clear offside. Are people taking this piss?
