Linesmen are shit

March 21st: Leicester City v Coventry City (Championship)

This game's on the telly, which is why it's being played on a Sunday. Apparently the M69 derby is such a massive game that Sky feel the whole country needs to see it.

City manage to get on the scoresheet early when an Andy King strike from inside the box finds the far corner. On 19, a King header hits the underside of the bar and bounces on or around the line. Did it go in? Well, the assistant referee thinks so. That's all that counts. It's 2-0.

The lead remains at the break. This is good, we're half way there.

On 54, James McPake scores an admittedly very good goal to reduce City's lead. The second half sees Coventry control large segments of the game, and towards the end it gets tense. A couple of Cov efforts come close, and City manage to hold on until the 87th minute, when Gary Deegan nails the equaliser from close range. Given, despite Freddie Sears having been offside. Bollocks.

I don't want to talk about this any more.

Fuck off.

Final score: Leicester 2 Coventry 2
