For the first time since the FA cup tie against Chelsea back in 2010, Norwegian TV broadcasted the mighty whites. The news papers was upping the states by writing articles about "the real football" in the lower divisions.
"Meet the clubs with no money and thousands of fans and the 4th most successful team in England."
Too bad the home team didn`t create one single chance on their own the first 45 minutes. It was poor and hard to watch what was supposed to be a treat for the ones watching. It was supposed to be real football. But in fact it was really shait. Second half was a bit better but when you don`t create chances you don`t entertain. Simple as that.
The penalty situation was interesting. Normally it`s the other way around, Preston not getting clear penalties. My hope is that the ref saw the fall and thought: "If you`ve had just fallen a bit more naturally and not like a acting twat."
Some tweets from one of the best Norwegian football commentators:
It`s hard to tell when Preston will be on the telly again. With so many teams in League One it can be a while. It was great to see North End play, don`t get me wrong, but it wasn`t the great show we had hoped for. It`s like when you cleaned your room as a child and was just waiting for your parents to see. And when you proudly opened the door the dog had taken a dump on your bed.
So until next time.. COYW!
