Tim Sherwood leaves the Soccer Saturday panel in STITCHES

Tim Sherwood leaves the Soccer Saturday panel in STITCHES as he expresses his disbelief at Preston not being awarded a penalty against QPR… before realising Ben Woodburn was brought down in his own box!

  • Tim Sherwood left the Soccer Saturday panel in stitches after making a mistake
  • Sherwood thought Preston were given a stonewall penalty after just two minutes
  • However, the Lilywhites were kicking the other way and it was in their own box
  • Clinton Morrison had to correct his fellow pundit – leaving the panel laughing

Tim Sherwood left the Soccer Saturday panel in stitches after not knowing which way round Preston and QPR were kicking – sparking confusion over a penalty. 

The former Tottenham manager was adamant that a penalty should have been given to Preston when QPR’s Andre Dozzell made a late challenge on Preston’s Ben Woodburn. 

However, what Sherwood did not realise was that the challenge was made inside Preston’s box and not their opponents.

The 53-year-old started the confusion by confidently claiming the home side should have been awarded a spot-kick. 

Upon seeing the incident, Sherwood instantly said: ‘For me, it has to be a penalty’ 

Before doubling down, saying: ‘It looked like a penalty for Preston… it’s a nailed on penalty’

The confusion then kicked in further when Sherwood saw the decision being made and still thought that a penalty had been given to the Lilywhites – even claiming it was Preston striker Ched Evans who had been fouled. 

Luckily for Sherwood, Clinton Morrison was on the panel and was able to actually explain what had happened.

Morrison interrupted his co-panelist to say: ‘I don’t think it is a penalty, it’s the other way round he’s defending. Look, it’s a free-kick.’

Preston would have loved to have been given a penalty as they ended up losing the game 1-0 

The panel then burst into laughter at Sherwood’s expense after realising what had happened all along. 

Paul Merson even jokingly explained to Sherwood that ‘[Queens Park] Rangers are kicking that way.’

QPR went on to win the game 1-0 as Preston could have done with Sherwood officiating the game from the studio.
