Match Thread - Watford - St Charles Owl - 30-04-2015 THE LAST MATCH Another hugely disappointing home game saw us take the lead against L**ds but concede two goals to lose 2-1. They were poor on the day, we seemed to be worse!! So our home games are done, and thankfully we can put this season behind us with just one away game to go. The pitch was blamed for a lot of our poor performances at home this season, well it has paid the ultimate price by being dug up already and replaced with a much newer model!!! Not be able to use that excuse next season Stuart!!! THE MATCH - SAT 2ND MAY 2015 12.15PM UK TIME So we arrive at the final game of the season, away to Watford. They have been near the top of the table nearly all season and finally got themselves over the line last week to secure promotion to the Prem. They have been good for a few seasons now but just fallen short, but this season they finally made it. It will be a party atmosphere at Vicarage Road, irrespective of the result, so hopefully we can put on a decent display and some of our players can get to see what it is like to win promotion and you never know maybe we can use this experience as motivation for next season. This will be the 47th meeting between us with our record being W15 D9 L22, so they have definitely had the upper hand. In fact we have only won 3 times out of the last 15 meetings, so we shouldn't be too sad about seeing them leave us next season!! Earlier in the season they beat us 3-0 at S6 in a game where we were never in it and a game that Gary Madine actually started in!! Last time we played at Vicarage Road we actually won 1-0, with Wickham getting the winner with a direct free kick, would be nice to repeat that result and at least go into the summer with a win!! CLASSIC MATCH We only played Watford for the first time in 1970 and aside from a couple of decent wins by each team, none of them we classics that I can remember so no video this week to show!! Instead, in honour of our last trophy in a season that we last got promoted to the Prem lets look back at the semi-final games against the current Premier League Champions to be from this season, Chelsea!! Enjoy the Didwell Wilson line in the 2nd leg!!!!! POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works. Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board. http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum. http://fırstrowsports.eu - the old favorite that tends not to work as well as it used to!! WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK Referee: Probert, Lee Assistant Referee: Ganfield, Ronald Assistant Referee: Holmes, Adrian Fourth Official: Ward, Gavin MS will hopefully give us the skinny on this guy in previous Owls games!! CURRENT FORM OWLS - WATFORD - Hmmm, form not that great, they drew a game 6 games ago!!! OTHER GAMES OF MILD INTEREST Blackburn v Ipswich Brentford v Wigan Derby v Reading L**ds v Rotherham Wolves v Millwall Games involving the team with something left to play for and a Yorkshire derby. THE TEAM Stuart, just try something different, go on give it a go!!! THE BIG MANS LEAGUE Owlkev Southey Wereham Stateside Imre Thurnscoe Offshore Towinjustonce St Charles Pei Maddix Bottesford Owlshighgreen Madsteve Washington Kimmy A57 Chezzie Daffodils BBB Looks like Owlkev might win this but Southey is hot on his heels so you never know!! Score and Scorer for this one, Watford score first, defeats are allowed, scorer from either team will count, no copying allowed. As an extra bonus please predict the total time of all the goals scored in minutes as posted on the BBC, copying is not allowed. Obviously add your result predictions as usual, copying is allowed here. SCORE AND SCORER (Watford score first please) 1-1 - Nuhiu - Actual (No winners) 3-1 - Bus TOTAL TIME OF ALL GOALS According to the minute only on the BBC 115 - Actual Total 153 - Towinjustonce 229 - St Charles RESULTS AHHHH - St Charles HHAHH - Actual Results (No winners) Well Maddix said it wasn't easy!! for getting 4 results right and for getting all 5 correct, so if Owlkev is to be caught in the final 7 games someone is going to have to get all 5 right at some point!! So four up for grabs, a number of you can still win the BML this season and overhaul long time leader Owlkev!! THE MUPPET LEAGUE I am letting SG out on parole for this one on the orders of DC so that he can prove himself or hang himself!!! Time for DJ to be brought back in here for this game, its not as if he has anything else to do anyway!! All others are out on bail!! THE FISH PIC It would appear our new owner is not only a rich guy but treats his employees well!! Here is a photo of hard working fisherwomen taking a well earned break!! KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC The nice little video version is back, so hopefully she can writhe in ecstasy watching us win this one!! This thread awaits the Meggo of Statesides choice RE: Match Thread - Watford - Was Wereham Owl - 30-04-2015 4-1 Deeney 218 Mins DHHHH RE: Match Thread - Watford - madsteve - 30-04-2015 DHHDH 5-1 Deeney 333 minutes The bastard in the black this week is Lee Probert from Devizes. Probert is a leading PL referee, refereeing last season's FA Cup Final, but has had quite a few injury issues so only did his first PL match of the season this month and has done games at West Brom, Spurs, Leicester & Hull in the space of four weeks. "You Are the Ref" rate Probert's decision making but say he is let down by often being too far away from the action. Our record with this bastard is: Jan 14 - Millwall 1-2 Wednesday - 3Y 2R - sent off Coke in melee Jan 14 - Wednesday 6-0 Leeds - 4Y 1R - sent off Matt Smith Dec 13 - Wednesday 0-1 Nottm F - 3Y Mar 07 - Leeds 2-3 Wednesday - 4Y 1R - sent off Tudgay Mar 06 - Cardiff 1-0 Wednesday - no cards Four red cards in five matches with this ref shows that we need to be careful. Still, three wins out of five isn't a bad record with this ref with one of those wins particularly standing out. RE: Match Thread - Watford - Thurnscoe_OWL - 30-04-2015 1-3 nuhiu (bump his value up before the clear out) AADHH 235 mins My meggo didn't help vs Leeds so it's retired RE: Match Thread - Watford - Maddix - 30-04-2015 Those were the days eh Charlie The 2nd leg was only the second time I've ever sat in the South Stand. The other time was a 1-0 win over Swindon with Jackie Sinclair scoring with a, sort of nearly, overhead kick I suppose you could say we have a 100% record when I sit there so if anyone would like to buy me a season ticket for the South Stand please feel free 2-2 Maguire 212 DHHAH And I won't be here working for double bubble there's no dilemma really is there RE: Match Thread - Watford - Southeyowl - 30-04-2015 1-3 Keane 225 Minutes DHHAH Will I witness the game or will I be too bladdered?
