Match of the Day - 2017/18

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

One can only imagine the outcry if that was Jesus attempting to neuter him.

It would be on a loop on Sly, and the BBC would be repeatedly posting it every 2 hours on all their social media platforms.

Imagine if it was Mario in his pomp?

 

[Chris in London]

did anyone notice the rags refusing to kick the ball out of play for an injured brighton player and when brighton finaly won the ball back and put it out the rags refused to throw it back to them, fuckin horrible bastards

Did the same thing against Newcastle before the rags first goal IIRC

 

[manimanc]

I think we're all missing a fundamental point here and it's the fact that Lukaku HAS gone to kick the Brighton player BUT because he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo he's missed him.

Shearer outraged by West Ham player diving, but not by Lumpkaku's assault.

Wasn’t shearer the guy who booted Neil Lennon in the head and got away with it as he was England captain?

The very same; although it was Lennon who head-butted Shearers boot.

A disgusting assault swinging his head into his boot like that, the England captain could have lost a toe nail.

 

[Mancity1980]

There is a very obvious sequence here when it comes to retrospective action:
1. It is a media darling team? (yes - STOP; no - goto step 2)
2. Show rolling video replays, slag off with media darling pundits
3. Would retrospective action help media darling team(s) (yes - ban for 2 games, no - ban for 1 game)
4. Would retrospective action mean a key player would be missing for a game against a media darling team (yes - add 1 game to ban period, no - emphasis how fair and just the whole retrospective action system is)

As much as Shearer is a bullying browbeating sermonizer of a pundit, I will give him a break on this. It was Neil Lennon after all.

Two c##ts don’t make a right.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Two c##ts don’t make a right.

But it does make one massive c##t, which sums them both up perfectly

 

[davymcfc]

Absolutely disgraceful that they didn’t show the lukaku incident. Farcical.

 

[Dicko69]

Absolutely disgraceful that they didn’t show the lukaku incident. Farcical.

They showed it, they can't show the goal without doing so, they just never mentioned it.
It is the ultimate "elephant in the room" situation

Yeah I'm pissed off - he didn't boot him hard enough

 

[Uptop]

It appears Lukaku's deliberate double kick wasnt mentioned by any of the impartial studio members.

What a fucking joke football is, media can influence so much based on how much noise they make and the FA are cowards who wont act until they do.

 

[bluethrunthru]

watching MOTD I now grin like a Cheshire cat when " Glory glory.... " blares out at the swamp and Maureen scuttles down the sidelines to the dressing room whilst the commentator drones on about how boring and turgid the rags have been.... again. The irony of that tune and knowing what fare they have just served up gives me a right chuckle

BBC and Sky in cover up surprise,any of our players kicking out like that it would be played over and over,a poll and a 3 match ban

Goals on Sunday showed the goal and showed the Lukaku Incident and said if the lineman saw it the goal would of been disallowed, they didn’t make a big deal out of it.

The difference is they would if it was one of our players,as we have seen they go after our players until they get banned,the bernie pen sky and talksport ran polls to ask if it was a dive and when it was cleared as a pen they all went with he escaped punishment as if he was unfairly vindicated,the difference can only be protection of the rags at all costs

Yeah agree seems they don’t want to upset the scum and with the bbc where they shouldn’t be a bias, when you have die hard rags being employed by them you get get the bias or just blatantly ignoring incidents putting the scum in a bad light or getting a player a possible ban.
