Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

The Whole World Isn't Watching...

I'm trying not to be offended this morning that Division 1 hasn't gone on international break. What? Jonathan Howson isn't in Don Fabio's reckoning? Yeovil Town and Peterborough don't have decent alternatives to Gareth Barry in the holding role or for David Bentley running down the right? Sheer, bloody prejudice, that is.

Ah well, my boys are at home to Crewe. I'll be paying attention, even if no one else is. (sigh)

The lads in Winnipeg are showing the highlights of yesterday's England vs. Portugal U-21 match. Can anyone tell me why five or six of that side aren't in the full squad?

It says 1900 GMT on the Football 365 site. That's 2 p.m., no? You've got a bit of time to pick up the bagels, then.

We do get two matches on FSC before that - one at 11 and another at 1:30. Not sure which ones they are. Not very good, I suspect.

Half time at Elland Road - 2-0 Leeds. More of the same in the second half, please!

Hey Bob, I am here.
I have been following a little this morning but Thomas wanted me to watch the end "Goal" which we started to watch last night.

Good job with Leeds during the first half

Can you believe Scotland just lost to Macedonia!!!

10:58 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Are you going to try that website that I sent you?

11:00 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I just looked at www.mightyfootball.com and they already have shown Macedonia's goal.
Now I am going to www.myp2p.eu/ to see what they have

11:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, Dave! What did you think of "Goal?" I thought it was decent.

It doesn't look like they're going to be showing any of today's games on that website. The schedule just skips over the weekend to Monday. Am I wrong?

11:04 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yes it does. There is a button for Saturdays

11:05 AM

I'll check it out. I just watched the Macedonia goal. Not so clever by the Scottish defense - straight through the wall.

Tom has a game today right at 1:30 so I will miss some the England game but I am very excited that I will be able to see them.
The PREM will be live too!!!

11:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm excited too!!!!!!

I just clicked on the link for the England match and got straight through to the live feed from Setanta. They were doing the wrap up with Scotland and previewing the Norn Ireland and England matches. WOW!

11:12 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm also excited because Jonathan Douglas has just popped in the third goal against Crewe. We're coasting it today!

11:15 AM

Well done.

I'm watching the Wales match now. Not sure where the feed is coming from. Sounds like Russian commentary. Could be Azer commentary, for that matter. In any case, I'm not understanding a blinking word of it.

11:21 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sky showing the Wales match. I clicked off that and are now watching Setanta. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!
Does Steve know this?

11:22 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I just called the Gooner. He's not going to believe it when he sees this. Surely this can't be legal, can it? I feel like the FBI is gonna kick in my door any minute.

11:23 AM

Are you watching Lawrie Sanchez on Setanta. Unbelievable coverage. It's like visiting my parents in London!

11:25 AM

4-0 Leeds! Beckford on the 67th minute. Wallop! We're up into 7th now.

What's going on in Bratislava - there's no one in the crowd!

This is brilliant. I feel like I'm really putting one over on those Irish kneecappers after years of forking over $20 at the pub.

11:29 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Has your coverage turned into split screen with the commentating of Wales?

11:29 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wales miss a pen!! Now playing against 10

NI on the other split screen!

11:30 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I have Setanta on one and Sky on the other!!
Have I told you that I am excited?
Shame they aren't showing Leeds.
Maybe next week

11:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh yes, it's all there. Unbelievable. I guess we won't have to pay for the Liverpool-United match next weekend, then? Brilliant!

I just looked up By Competition and they do list League 1 but no games are shown.

I have now changed to the SkySports link for England. It is showing Wales right now. It will have all the build,no?

11:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree - it's a new era. I'm sticking with the Setanta feed for now.

Wales win with a real scappy goal.

David Speed is talking in the studio after the match

11:53 AM

It better come back for England

11:55 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

David Speed or Gary Speed in the studio?

11:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What happened at Leeds? Gave away two goals late!!

11:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am watching the Setanta feed. They say it is only been shown on Setanta, why is it listed through Sky?

11:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sory, Gary

11:58 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

OF course I mean the England match

11:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah, I'm not happy about the two late goals and Lubomir Michalik being sent off right at the death. Still - 5-2. I'll take that every week, thankyouverymuch.

12:11 PM

Slovakia are starting to go close here. Norn Ireland are getting killed at the set pieces.

12:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Dunno if Sky are showing the match in the UK or why it would be listed there. Not sure. This is all a bit of a mystery to me. I'm just keeping it on the Setanta feed and hoping for the best in an hour and a half's time.

12:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm going to post a new thread for the England match, alright?

12:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sounds fine with me. Remember, I will be there a little late because of Tom's game

12:17 PM

Good luck to Tom!
