I didn't read it! :) I would never read an article written by Carragher or one about him.

It was the reference to water that caught my eye.

I read the whole thing waiting for, and not , getting a critique of the whole punditry industry .

The incident is buried deep in the article and doesn't exactly excuse him but doesn't ask how he was allowed back into the industry either.
I also learned that CBS , an American broadcaster who also employs him alongside Richards and Henri for CL coverage, worked out of Stockley Park " a stones throw ( no irony there ) from the VAR headquarters" . Do you think it possible that pundits , producers and referees might just meet by accident in the car park ?
 
Another huge Simon Stone/Mark Goldbridge (who can tell the difference?!?) fanzine post on the BBC ends with this duvet covered poster pinning gibberish.

"That is the thing with Manchester United. They are big news. They generate debate. Even when they are not very good, people still talk about them."

No Simon. You talk about them and apparently we, the public, pay by the word. Let me give you two more. Fuck off.

Didn’t realise that. Been around a bit has he? No idea who he supports, but after tonight it’s fair to say it’s not us!

I’m going for liverpool.

Roger Johnson ? He's a Stoke City fan. He just reads the scripts - obviously prepared by the anti City media team at the BBC. Dare say anything negative about anything in Liverpool (the city) and of course he'd be fearful for his life.

Zero self awareness at the BBC. A Sports department full of Rag fanzine writers churning out trivial, pro United shite endlessly. Stone paid to follow United home and away - even on pre and post season tours; so the Chief football writer only covers one club. No attempt is made to create any modicum of balanced coverage - it’s United this and United that - and every other photo on the BBC football site is a United player. Even when they are 16th in the league the majority of BBC coverage is about them. The BBC are obsessed with them so no wonder they think they are newsworthy - we get them rammed down our throats morning, noon and night.

Completely agree.
The coverage Spurs got from the BBC (and the media in general) for the 16/17th place Euro Final, has been criminal.
I bet the Salford BBC Brigade have wasted £££ compiling footage to celebrate the "inevitable" Trafford Tramps victory.
Spurs (like Chelsea & City) are generally ignored, unless a controversial story arises.
Had an unhappy 1981 Cup Final experience, but generally don't mind Spurs and the way they have played - usually to entertain.
If they weren't from London though, they'd get even less media coverage...
 
What a surprise. United are total shit so let's run a negative City related story. That'll takes people's mind off things.

If that’s the case I wonder if he’s a Stoke fan in only quite a lightweight way then. I’ve got mates who support Bolton, Stockport, Sheff Utd, and Chester to name but 4, and they all know KDB is from Belgium. I suspect the truth is that he’s probably not much into football at all, and it was someone in the script dept on the wind up of Blues. And in my case, it worked.

A post for the ages. A classic if ever there was one.

Yes Simon . Like people talk about Faulty Towers or The Unsinkable Titanic . Comedy and tragedy rolled into one and the whole lot of them not learning a thing from it all.

He'd be reading an autoqueue and being in CBA mode assuming that what was in front of him was correct.

He is though along with that ginger sports reporter who replaced the crap bald one all fucking shite and that's just the camera facing ones.
 
Wonder when we'll hear the end about this ' final of all finals'. Not many media morons saying how shit a game it was and devoid of any quality whatsoever, just spin spin spin especially over the rags, might be a blessing etc etc. It's destroyed the moronic cunts yet again, so nice to see

I like Ornstein and he's very balanced.
But his spin on Utd's defeat was, 'it means RA will get more time to work with the players next season'.

Like a politician saying 'rising food costs means less waste'!!!!!!

He will get more time to work with the players, however the players are dogshit and all need fucking off. Not being in the champions league will prevent them being able to improve the team, he will have to work with the players that have got him to a massive 39 points in 37 games.
