TV Highlights ITV Highlights v Brentford

[Shrimpergonzo]

Sadly inconclusive re: our 2nd goal as you can't see the relative position of Corr and the last defender when Hurst delivers the ball.

As a side issue - ITV football coverage and "highlights" are awful when compared to both BBC and Sky !!

Their defender in front of Hurst before the free kick is taken looks nervously over the shoulder and then moves up field when the kick is delivered. You cannot see other players' positions though but I still think trying to flay offside from a free kick in that position was a bit exotic.

Absolutely awful coverage, including the commentator-- no mention of the fact we did not deserve to be 2-0 down, or tat least show/mention the best chance--- 45 seconds- crap

The brentford defence had pushed up well beyond this defender making the offside trap pointless

It was close, as in was it 4 or 5 yards offside and were there 4 or 5 players offside too! After following the Blues for 43 years it the first "goal" I have not celebrated because I was waiting for it to be disallowed.

From my position in the Greens there were only 4 Southend players (inc Corr) in an offside position when the ball was kicked. We are due a bit of luck though.

There's not an awful lot they can show in 45 seconds other than the goals is there?!

On an aside, best wishes to the young defender from Derby who suffered a very nasty leg break in their game.

Agreed. I find it unwatchable. There seem to be more adverts than action.

Factor in Andy Townsend, and the appalling Matt Smith, and you wouldnt wish an hour of that tripe on your worst enemy!

Matt Holland as well wasn't there?
