Media discussion - 2025/26

The commentary was disgraceful.

Bemoaned that City scored with their first shot on target but never mentioned Forest doing the same. They were desperate for Dias to see red despite being booked when he was fouled. Never saw any of Jesus diving around & thought his foul on Foden, accidental so no red.

Then Cherkis winner went into overdrive but couldn’t find Murillo anywhere near the action so just talked about his ripped shirt. Even they ignored Gibbs White pathetic dive as a reason to rule it out.
Murillo was headlocking Haaland who gave back and ripped his shirt, good on Erl.
 
Thought the main commentator was fine, personally. He's one of the best out there. Joe Hart all-but-celebrated our winner too

Think Lescott might've taken a blow to the head after the game so I'll let him off for thinking Cherki's goal should've been ruled out
If Summerton is the one of the best out there it's a pretty damning indictment of the rest - as for Gibbs-White's pathetic dive the less said the better except perhaps Joleyn likes his TNT job too much to let little matters like integrity bother him.
 
For anyone who cares anymore - go take a read of Dyche whinging about decisions and the bbc rereffing the game in their article (rich when jesus spent more time on the floor and elbowing/shirt grabbing than trying to play).
They even have votes on there for the Cherki goal, and if Dias should have had a second yellow - I won't spoil it by giving the current "results" feckin chunts
Edit: forgot to say, try setting a team up to play football Dyche then I'll give a flying feck

It's a fucking joke. TWO poles on nothing incidents to stoke the fires of a supposedly controversial City win. HYS is fucking hilarious, the Rodri "handball" from about a hundred years back even gets another airing.

So is the MUEN now behind a paywall......I just tried to look to see how they scored the players today out of 10, then I get a pop up to tell me I have zero free articles remaining to read.......apologies if this is discussed elsewhere..........the slow death of the MUEN is gathering pace!

How anybody could read that shite, never mind pay for it.
 
Even after nearly 60 years of watching football I learned something new from todays commentary.

City players commit "late challenges" so its a foul.

However City players getting challenged after playing the ball is ok cos "the ball has gone" so no foul.

The latter part of the above was highlighted for us in the newcastle game with schar on Phil.

Must be a recent rule revision.
