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!

A Busy Wednesday of Premier League and Championship Footie Without any Tellie




 It's crunch time which means a busy midweek schedule of footie in both the Premier League and Championship. The Premier League kicks off with three 1 PM matches followed by the Gunners vs Liverpool at 3:15 PM. The match of notes in the Championship is the BEES vs PNE on Plus , which kicks off at noon.Any dropped points by the Bees will bring Leeds United closer to clinching promotion to the Premier League. All the Premier League matches can be seen on Gold with special thanks to Dave , or on Peacock. Join me for all the action if you can

OH! Josh King scores at the far post off a pass from Stanislaus, bit it's disallowed for offside. The replay shows he might have been on. VAR checking

COME ON YOU TOON

2:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

These offside decisions are ridiculous!
No way this is why it was brought it
There should be and 'too close to call' rule. On field decision stands!

As I have said before, are they checking the other part of the offside rule... when the ball is kicked? Is it when the ball is touched? Indented? Leaves foot?

It should not be called by a tenth of a toe nail

2:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drinkies at SJP

2:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Joe Linton on for Dwight Crystal Gayle. Like for like as play resumes

2:28 PM

Agreed about the offside decisions. That's hardly conclusive and takes away the advantage to the attacker
