Today's game. Blades vs. Owls
« on: September 18, 2009, 03:00:32 PM »
With an Owl supporter as Commentator.  Which annoys Lighty.  "He's an annoying prat."

An hour ago... Blades up 1-0

Shortly after...  Quotes Lighty "TWO!! Henderson scores his first of the season!! 2-0 BLADES!! *umm . . . game's not over . . .* says the Owl commentator . . ."

A half hour ago...  Again quoting Lighty:  "OWN GOAL, WEDNESDAY! 3-0 BLADES!!!! Before the half!!!! Happy dance . . ."

We have a happy Lighty!  And you know what?  It looks to be a good weekend for our boy as well.

Oops.  The Owls scored again.  3 - 2 now.  And Lighty's said a BAD WORD.

Less than 15 minutes to go!  It's 3 - 2 and "edge of the seat" time!

BTW... Lighty says the Owl's commentator is still a prat.

(Lighty's sooo gonna kill me next time she sees me...)

WE WON . . . so I forgive you, Syl.  :nananana:

Owl commentator was a prat.  Worse thing about listening to the Derby matches is that they combine the commentators - they'll have our two (Keith Edwards, a former Blade and England player; Seth Bennett, who does superb play by play) with one from THEIR side . . . John somebody . . .

I assume they do the same for the other commentary - the two regular Wednesday commentators and add a Blades supporter.

I don't care.  Really.  If I wanted to listen to them prattle on, I'd tune into their commentary.  I subscribe to BLADES Player.  Not PIGGIE Player.

No matter.  We won.  Jamie Ward (our brilliant little fella) went out, worryingly, mid-way through the first half and was stretchered off.  Appears to be just a hamstring, so good news there.  Killa (Kilgallon) didn't play again - that's more worrying.  Midweek the gaffer said he had a chest infection, but there are rumors floating around that Newcastle wants to sign him for a hefty fee . . .

noooooooooooooo.

Monty was brilliant, Hendo was a WORKHORSE and finally scored his first of the season.

It was a game of halves and the Owls came close to tying it up - that's not good and I hope Kevin has a good talking to the lads.

But still -

WE WON.  UP THE BLADES!

(and yes, I'd imagine the Bean is happy).

I believe (HEAVY sarcasm here) that the lads were misinformed - they were told they were going on a nice, gentle ramble in the Welsh countryside . . .

DIRE match.  We didn't deserve a win (though with 9 men down, we should have been able to pull a draw).

Henderson needs a pointy toe up his arse.

The referee was ridiculous - I hope they review his decisions - neither one of Swansea's sending offs was correct.  Send him down to Blue Square League.

Is it possible to have a heart attack listening to a match?

We were losing badly (a regular Keystone Kops debacle) - 3/1 to Ipswich with 15 minutes to go . . . with a minute to go in extra time we're tied 3-3 . . . and almost made it 4-3 just now . . .

I'll take the point.

3-3.

Chris Morgan is MOM for giving us the equaliser - at least for me.
