I’ll assume it was not representative of what he can actually do (it couldn’t be) but that 8 minute cameo from Owusu might just be the worst performance I’ve ever seen from a professional footballer.

Did well to win that 50/50 header and earn a free-kick with the last touch of the game!

Unfortunately won't be streamed as there's a Premier League game tonight.
Two points:
1). It shows just how bloody stupid this rule is - is anybody seriously going to change their mind about going to watch Leicester vs. Forest to stay in and watch Brighton U21s play Derby U21s (the answer is 'no', BTW).
2). WTF couldn't Brighton and Derby have just agreed to play the match 24 hours earlier?

I would have opted for Brighton U21s instead of Leicester vs Forest this evening. As that option is off the table, I shall be watching the PL game (under duress!).

"Going to watch" - and actually paying money to Leicester City - not staying in and watching something on tele on a dodgy stream or on a subscribed channel which you've paid for whether you watch the match or not.

Sorry, what point are you making?
The rule is nonsense. In theory, they're concerned that PL clubs could lose money if people don't go and pay to watch them but watch free U21 football on tele instead. Same thinking as not showing live football ay 3:00p.m. on Saturday. Obviously it's nonsense - nobody who might attend the match at Leicester is going to change their mind. Watching it on tele or not has no financial effect.

You weren't/aren't going to the Leicester match.

I genuinely didn't understand your first post - but that's crystal clear and of course, I completely agree with the point you're making.
