[BigBed]

Wouldn't mind seeing Marsh and Archer up top for this one.

 

[Tom Bott]

Archer scored a hat trick on his full debut for Villa in the EFL cup

 

[fintious maximus]

Is this game on SUTV or owt?

 

[fintious maximus]

Is this game on SUTV or owt?

I’ll answer my own question - nope

 

[1973Blade]

A daft question! I have the ticket on my phone, what do I need to do at the turnstile?

 

[Nedski]

No Freckleton tonight then

 

[United Aren't Back.]

A daft question! I have the ticket on my phone, what do I need to do at the turnstile?

Swipe the bar code. It's easy. And get a cardboard announcement of 1973 Blade held up and I'll get thee a pint in t John Street.

Open the Ticket on your phone and let the machine read the QR code on it, as if it were a normal paper ticket

 

[1973Blade]

If you could pop across to the South Stand I'd be grateful exiled from the kop for the evening

 

[Nedski]

I’ll answer my own question - nope

Can't even listen to it without paying. I pay a license fee to these BBC arseholes, surely I should be allowed to listen to the BBC in a different part of the country?

 

[LexBlade89]

So it's not on BBC Lincolnshire radio free??
That's what Satan's minions are saying

 

[JOEYDEE]

A daft question! I have the ticket on my phone, what do I need to do at the turnstile?

Hand your phone over to the man in the booth he'll hacksaw it in half,and hand you half back as proof of entry...

----Wes------

ANEL EGAN TRUSTY

OSBORNE BALDOCK SOUZA COULIBALY

BENIE JEBBISON/MCBURNIE

Was never going to be Jebbo or Osborn, especially if attention had been paid.

Mind over matter. Osborne needs to rub his groin. Jebbison needs to play threw the illness if he ever wants a spot.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Happy with this line up.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Hopefully get Davies on for a run out later in the game, if on the bench that is

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

I do feel a bit sorry for Amissah not to be starting games like this. Surely he needs to be stepping up to be Wes's understudy at this point in his career, especially when Davies is so bang average.

 

[varkanoid]

Its what I thought and picked up from the last match interview its all about the game time for the ones who need it.

 

[Nedski]

I do feel a bit sorry for Amissah not to be starting games like this. Surely he needs to be stepping up to be Wes's understudy at this point in his career, especially when Davies is so bang average.

He was injured in the U21 game yesterday

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

He was injured in the U21 game yesterday

Ah didn't realise that, thanks

 

[JPBrods]

It is genuinely astonishing how broken football broadcasting in the UK still is.

 

[Wapping Blade]

It is genuinely astonishing how broken football broadcasting in the UK still is.

Yep but Beeb Sheffield will only have paid for a local license.

 

[Nedski]

It is genuinely astonishing how broken football broadcasting in the UK still is.

Back in 2008 I was in Australia and even then you could choose which Premier League game you wanted to watch on a Saturday night. They were all available at the touch of a button.

Now it's 2023 and I can't even listen to a radio station as it's in a different part of the country, it doesn't make sense.

 

[Hamandcheese]

So 'just lacking fitness' Davies can't even be on the bench, to possibly come on for 15 minutes at home to Lincoln in the league Cup

Injured?

 

[United Aren't Back.]

If you could pop across to the South Stand I'd be grateful exiled from the kop for the evening

Caan't ...crush is so bad aaah wain't gerrin til aafe time. Pod to blame..
Wilder..ref..
Warnock....

 

[Cappy]

I never like being forced out of the kop

He's not even on bench
Odd!
Slimane being there is good though

 

[sheff_blade90]

[Jimmy Fleck]

Mcbarcher then
