BT Sport commentary v Arsenal (A)

I can just laugh at their pain! Arsenal
do have some scum bag dirty players. Martinelli is on top of that list. Must have been trained at the Van Versie school of whining. Result is all that matters. They must have forgotten Arsenal had a full week to prepare for that game. The penalty for us is obvious the Arsenal one not given is about right. Not sure how much more VAR can do as it did well today. They are trying to find faults where there is none. Arsenal did play well but if you don’t take your chances this is what happens.
 
Not very often I do it but I turned the sound off today for the second half. Turned the volume down to 1, where you can just hear them but not tell what they`re saying, as sitting in silence just doesn`t seem right.
Usually I like Keown, but today he nailed his colour`s to the mast so from a City perspective the coverage was awful. Add into that McPointy will want what`s best for the Bindippers and it`s a recipe of anti Cityness.
And don`t get me started on Jake the Snidey Twat.

City Official Website every time for me. Normally a few seconds behind but I'd rather that the the garbage BT serve up. Commentators (Alistair Mann and Michael Brown today) are pro-City obviously, but they are ALWAYS fair and call it how they see it.
 
To be fair Ferdinand did say after the match that if it’s a shirt pull outside the box it’s a foul then it has to be a pen if it’s inside the box regardless if Bernardo went down.
Even that referring genius Walton agreed
 
Go on Joleon. What a great start to the year with games and excitement and City win I’m happy with that
 
The worst bit for me was when Jesus was held in the penalty area and the commentators said it was fine. No big inquiry afterwards about why VAR did not review it. It looked like a penalty to me. If it was an Arsenal player fouled in a similar manner would the commentators have said in was fine? Would Jake Humphrey have lead a witch hunt into VAR inconsistency?

The commentary is as much guilty of inconsistencies as VAR.

Our club should be complaining about that coverage. Objectively diabolical.

Complain about what exactly? They owe us nothing - including impartial coverage of our games.

They broadcast a product - customers decide whether they want to pay for it. Or not.

Summed it up perfectly for me when they were shouting that Laporte raised his arms to Martinelli in the second half.

Lambasting the decision for VAR to not take a look, then replay showed that there were no arms raised at all and they shut up very quickly. Bizarre.

I'm fairly certain it's at that point that Keown says the ref had lost control of the game.

Erm............
