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

[Paddy O'Dors]

It's like watching Wimbledon in the 80's with these set pieces.

 

[The Shepherd]

The lad who was in an offside position blocked Patto and also made an attempt to get the ball when the cross came in, correct decision

This

 

[HettonSAFC]

This jock is on drugs mind. A total
Clown.

 

[dangermows]

Sky pundits just said the linesman thinks the player in the middle headed it on.

Nah. The linesman knows he tries to head it though. So is offside.

 

[Dave Hosselhaff]

dave

 

[Taffyduck]

The player who impeded patto was a country mile offside and was clearly involved in the build up. Morris was onside but definitely offside and correct decision.

 

[payne]

Sky pundits just said the linesman thinks the player in the middle headed it on.

so not offside. interesting fact for the bedwetters

 

[Scootsie]

Not really sure what we can do to change things here.

We’re more than good enough to keep the ball and play through them but we haven’t really tried often enough.

 

[Kenna]

Going to be interesting to see how Le Bris reacts to this. Bruising team playing thugball, mostly in the air but with no real output despite all that possession. It wouldn't take much of a step up to win this.

Wonder how often he came up against orcs like this in France.

 

[herra soul mob]

No we haven’t. They’ve had plenty of opportunities and - despite what some posters are now trying to invent about “the player in the middle” - they’ve scored a perfectly good goal.

no they havent.

 

[Bg86]

If he doesn't flick it on but goes for the ball is that not interfering?? Not rhetorical, genuine question

 

[Shandy drinker]

Nonsense. The ball is travelling across the box. Nobody on the horizontal could have been on Patterson’s eyeline to the ball.

He went for the ball and was offside in that phase of play

 

[HettonSAFC]

Burnley getting beat. Come on, sort this out…..

 

[hoolio]

Second best all over the pitch, would be fuming if we had that goal ruled out , think we will nick this with a flucky goal

 

[sunderpitt]

Probably been said already a hundred times but these are f***ing hideous like. It’s like playing on a five a side pitch against a bunch of prisoners on license.

Meet fire with fire!

Also we need the ref to be replaced, any ideas?

 

[safcyank]

Change in shape maybe? Don't really have too much on the bench that will be able to affect this game though. Maybe Conolloy and Isidor as two up front, add another body into midfield? I don't know what else we can do really except move the ball better in possession and toughen up.

Is it just me, or is the pitch way smaller than the SoL? Don't have room to breathe.

 

[Boo]

They’ve looked like a team with thirteen players at times. They’ve also resembled a boxer who has put everything into achieving an early knock down. We’re still in it, but we have to hold the ball better in midfield.

 

[Mackem Attack]

The goal is clearly offside. Dinnar why people keep saying it's lucky tbh

It’s lucky in the reference frame that the referees a ****

 

[the dude]

Sky pundits just said the linesman thinks the player in the middle headed it on.

He definitely looked like he tried to flick it on.

 

[magnum]

Rigg on a yellow, wouldn’t risk him central. Give the lad a breather ahead of starting on Saturday.

Either Roberts for Rigg
Or Connolly for Rigg with Isador out wide

We have to get Roberts on to get a hold of the ball,it's coming back way too quickly,good shout with your suggestion marra .
