That was a wise decision I watched for a few minutes on the stream but the german commentary was not to my liking and it is well worth £5 to hear it in English

😀😁😇 No problem with the Germans but just cannot understand what they are saying

[Pilchards]

1 down.

Woods gets turned easily while THB’s attempt of a clearance was comical.

[obelisk]

Shocking from THB. Another shot from Munster and it's 1-0 to them. Saints have hardly approached the opposition penalty area.

[Sheaf Saint]

Woeful defending from Wood for that goal.

[AlexLaw76]

Leo!

[davefizzy14]

Leo 😊 

[CSA96]

 

[obelisk]

Saints first shot I think. 1-1. Leo.

[Challenger]

Fuck me, if you actually attack the opposition rather than piss around at crab football, you might score some goals.

Has Azaz featured in any of the pre season games so far?

No, missed Eastleigh with his shin problem and then hasn't been in Germany

Injured expected to be in squad at Colchester 

[Scoobysaint]

Like the look of Dobbin. Always looking to attack, little give and go’s, bursting forward.

[Cuddles]

Just tuned in. Are we practising for playing Man City again?

He's just nipped down the Spar to get some half time oranges. Hopefully. 👀

[obelisk]

Dodgy looking offside flag. 1-1 at HT. 

[Give it to Ron]

Playing at training ground pace but can’t keep the ball to me looks like missing the focal point and outlet.

We do win the ball back well but we’re dominated by home team but guess this is just fitness 

[HarvSFC]

Want Brereton-Diaz to come good and show his Blackburn/Sheffield United form, but he's just so clumsy looking on the ball. Can't fault his effort, it's just his technical ability which is lacking.

Bilmey, so it is. Just in time for the offside goal before HT. 

Too bad there's no English commentary though, for once in my life I'd be prepared to tolerate some youtube nerd live streaming and chatting nonsense in the background.

Shows the different in cultures the two country's have regarding football. German football still very affordable, the 50+1 rule. English football is all about milking money and putting everything behind a paywall, even pre-season friendlies. They'll stream it for free, we'll stream it for £5.

Don’t know what to make of that tbh, it’s going to get tongues wagging either way. Perhaps they’re practicing having Ben on the touchline and Tonda in an earpiece in case of a touchline ban.

Maybe he’s starting his 6 match ban already?

Or time period ban. It's the first of the month so perhaps banned from all football from today until X date. 

Not ideal. 

[hypochondriac]

Would a touchline ban include friendlies? Surely they will have to say something at the end of the game.

Doubt it would apply to a friendly in Germany, the FA have no authority over that.

A ban from all football activities would catch the friendlies.

BBD is selfish

[Saints4Prem]

To add to the conspiracy I think I heard Adam Blackmore in commentary said that he had spoken to Tonda at half time and would be keeping to himself what they said?

[goodymatt]

This is also a logical view, could be something of nothing.

That was terrible. So slow and clumsy.

Not a friendly which is nothing to do with the FA it wouldn't.

[OttawaSaint]

No doubt we'll get the book thrown at us.

The cheating of Chelsea and City is far far worse but they get nothing. 

What on earth were those involved thinking? Putting us in this stupid situation for very little (if any) gain.

[AlexLaw76]

I personally think he has been banned from something, maybe a stadium or touchline....and it has started.

Whether today is part of that, or simply putting into practice the new normal for a period, no idea.

Edit - guess we will know by the Fans Forum

Could be right if he’s been given a touchline ban but I suspect if he is banned it’ll be from all activities.

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, what a miss! 

[OttawaSaint]

Early days I'm sure but we're kinda shite.

[OttawaSaint]

Update: but Dobbin looks pretty good. 😂 

2-1 Saints!

we have come on strong the 2nd half, but more 'getting it in the mixer' rather than good play

With that, we score.

It is clear, unless Larin stays fit for 40+ games, we need another decent striker 

[davefizzy14]

Dobbin 😊
