Cool, why don't they stream more youth games?

Most are played at Hogwood so probably don't have the necessary equipment

Kuhl is class

[Pepe the Horseman]

Are Taylor and Hector actually commentating?

[winchester_royal]

I'm not sure I'd call what they're doing 'commentating', but yes they are speaking into the mic while a game is going on

[Ian Royal]

I thought Kuhl looked a bit disappointing from the 20 I saw, not hugely in the game and a bit sloppy. We seemed to be a little sloppy in general.

Vaschuk looks tidy as does Watson. Fosu seemed to be trying a little too much. Kelly's even more of a cynical little oxf*rd than NHunt!

I'm not really used to watching youth football, so I'm not sure how harsh I'm being.

[GreaterTorontoRoyal]

Poooooooor 1-1 boooo, etc

[Ian Royal]

Hector's a legend.

Taylor's not too bad. Hector doesn't seem to be able to think of anything to say without being prompted.

Probably fair tbh, he was sloppy towards the end of the first half. Looking better this half, although the team as a whole has dropped off.

I went to the same school as Jack Stacey....

[GreaterTorontoRoyal]

Kelllllyyyy GTFI 2-1

[Ian Royal]

That was a beaut. Super little break and a lovely lay off from Stacey for Kelly to smash it in delightfully.

[winchester_royal]

That'll do Kelly some good. Was trying a little too hard.

[Royal Ginger]

Damnit. Poor keeping

[CzechRoyal]

AHHHHHHH Shit

[winchester_royal]

That was coming. Woeful last 10 mins.

[lolwut]

Owusu looks good at LB from what I've seen,

[Royal Ginger]

Agreed

[CzechRoyal]

At least it's extra time

[Ian Royal]

+1

Thought it bounced a little unkindly and it would have been top notch for Ward to hold on to it. Just didn't manage to get it out of the danger area and Crewe were quicker to the follow up than the defence.

Impressed with the entire back 4, and the sub - number 12. Midfield's been a bit weaker. Fosu wants to hold onto it too long and do too much, but he's got talent.
