Actual Highlights

Quoted from arryarryarry

I think you are missing my point, not saying it was a good contract but as Sky are not interested or BBC and ITV, BT were probably the only company interested so it was likely the only offering giving the NL not much say in the type of contract.

twits like BT will do anything to try to get more subscribers.

I think you’re giving the NL too much credit. It’s not really a case of having a strong hand to negotiate with, it’s just a nonsensical clause in its current form which could have been better implemented in the interest of fans without any detriment to BT. As I pointed out, BT didn’t even air any highlights this weekend and so there were literally no viewing figures or advertising pounds to protect.

All it achieved was ensuring fans had no way to view footage from their teams games for nearly two days. I cannot believe that something more sensible couldn’t have been sorted out had someone tried.

Just a mention for how good that goal was. Great play and awareness by Max and Lennie, but that first touch from McAtee to drag the ball from behind him and then have the composure while defenders chase him down to pass the ball beyond the keeper showed absolute class. For a young player, this lad has loads of potential.

Still not sure how we didn't score a couple more and looks more crazy from the angle of the highlights. Pearson looked like he already made his mind up to appeal the handball and run at the ref instead of attacking the ball on the line. Sousa  probably should have scored that one on one and he couldn't quite connect with a ball bouncing around the area, on another day who knows.

Goal when it did come was well taken and looks better on the highlights, really nice move to get McAtee through on goal. I imagine if that was a goal scored against us people would have been blaming McKeown for it and saying he didn't dive lol.

Very good. I think he nearly mistimed that celebration flip. It could have ended in disaster

Hurst mentioned it in his post-match interview - implying potential to get injured and McAtee's cramp later on - I think there will have been an arm over the shoulder moment a la the Battle of Britain movie scene when the young pilot does a victory roll over the airfield - "it takes a long time to train people like you, what would have happened if your controls had been damaged - never again understand..."

Here you go.

Thanks for posting that arry.

The noise of the crowd before kick off and then immediately after the goal was LOUD. Hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

Some nice interplay and the goal was very well taken.

Let’s hope we finish the season like the Longest Day. Key objectives secured.

But I suspect it’ll be more like A Bridge Too Far.
