BT Sport commentary v Arsenal (A)

[eyalluvitt]

They set the bar on Penalties with Landmine Mo Salah's dive after being touched by Laporte's finger at Anfield last season. That was enough contact for a Pen according to them, but now far more contact isn't????

If I had a quid for every time a BT pundit said 'He felt contact, he was entitled to go down there...' I'd have at least £50.00

The commentator didn't know what he was doing.
For rodri's challenge when he slipped he said ref gave a free kick when he had given a corner. Then asked if it should have been a foul after they had just been saying he got the ball. And finished it off with it's good you can still do that - what win the ball?

2 things I noticed were that when the penalty was given after the VAR review, they knew what the decision was, but didn't tell us. I spent 10 seconds not knowing what the Ref had given. Second thing is, at one point one of them said 'Everyone other than City fans are hoping for an Arsenal win here... Really ?

Funny how there’s never such a debate when we don’t get penalties.
Fuck em!

Every time we don’t get a blatant decision;

“ahh well, these things even themselves out over the course of the season”.

Either that or “not enough in it for me”

They're not going to change so those of you who have audio on may as well stick pins in your ears.

Put some quality music of your choice on and turn the tv down....oh and don't pay the fuckers, pay your friendly IPTV guy instead.

Tottenham fans may not agree with that statement!

They are selling up so will be gone soon.

Now, I know everyone isn't as corrupt as me, by watching on a "dodgy stream", but if you watch ANY game on BT or Sky, you deserve EVERYTHING you put yourselves through.

I had the superb Peter Drury and soso Matt Holland on commentary, and they made no "song and dance" on any of the game's more controversial moments. The nearest I got to it, was Holland getting a little upset over the Arsenal appeal, yet he countered this by saying Ederson had got the ball. No shouting and screaming.

I'm not a punditry watcher. As soon as games are finished, I turn off and do something else, as I know what I've already seen, and I don't need it explaining to me, HOWEVER, I KNEW what was going to happen, so curiosity/masochism got the better of me, and I immediately turned on BT for their after match "thoughts". Humphrey was an embarrassment. I thought he was going to have a full blown tantrum....he was certainly on the way to one. Camel Gob wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be, yet Walton got the calls correct (imo) then just tied himself up in knots, trying to preserve ref's reputations or the LotG.

Just do yourselves a favour, Blues. Cancel your SKY/BT subs, get an IPTV service, and search for any other commentary streams. Your collective blood pressures will all be the better for it.

In fact, the ONLY time I listen to Sky/BT feeds are when it's a game featuring a non glamorous club, or when I'm in the pub.

Awful , spoilt the game for me until Rodri scored. Then it was like someone had died .. . Loved it

Correct, I looked for an alternative (fair) stream until we scored the winner, then went back to feed off their pain.

Lee dixon was nearly crying In one i saw. they called in Dermot Gallagher for his take and he immediately said it was a penalty.

Dixon had the actual gall to say he didnt care what Dermot thought, he was only concerned if it was a clear and obvious error that VAR saw, this was whilst a slow motion replay was running that showed xhaka firstly trip then pull on a fist full of bernardos shirt.

so dixon was basically happy for the referee to get it wrong And didt want VAR to correct him. Knobhead.

 

[cleavers]

Deserves it's own thread.

I thought the commentators were disgraceful today. The worst we've ever had.

I had to suffer talksports version, as I was driving back from the Lake District, it surely couldn't have been as bad as that ? I don't know who the woman in the studio was, or who she supports, arsenal, liverpoool, or united, but the bias against City was just pathetic.

Its the hope that kills them though, and its hilarious.

 

[Bantamgaz]

think you need to look at the bigger picture ............ these lot badly need a close title race they badly need refs to start going against City in these games ........ they know that if things carry on that there viewing figures will drop dramatically if City end up walking it with Weeks/months to go..........

 

[Mike N]

I only turned the volume on when Rodri got the goal. There’s no way I was going to listen to Pointy and Monkey Face.

 

[Blue Mist]

They are hinting at covid pal they are oddly pissed that we are not saying players have had it for whatever reason.

Ah right, a number of others have also told me I am too sensitive (so I'm now sulking)

 

[Whether or not]

Drink in their pain, it is nourishing.

 

[Cellarite]

The full program was shite. Constantly showing replays or the benches whilst key events were happening on the pitch.

That just about sums up Dixon, and a good few others, too!

BT? Doesn't really matter who shows the games, whatever station either here or abroad I watch on it's the same pool of 'experts' & commentators either spouting their bile or selling there souls for a quid.
