Jim Beglin commenting "Emptyhad" on Live TV | City lodge complaint (pg 38)

[Didsbury Dave]

Making a fuss about this will not reflect well on our club. It’s a bit like when that clown from the supporter’s club had a go at Pep and it became national news, thereby cementing the myth that we are somehow shit fans across the whole country.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Jim’s got that hurting feeling

Beglin is always very complimentary of City's play. Couldn't care less what he calls the stadium.

I agree. Treat it with the disdain it merits by ignoring it. Complaining to the broadcaster will do us few favours.

 

[waspish]

I’m warming to the emptyhead

Are you allowed to simply tell people to "Fucking do one you scouse sycophant " on Twitter? Don't use it so don't know the rules.

Failing that, one could simply post that they have the greatest respect for Gary Stevens, obviously no offence meant and all that.

I hate it when City fans complain to broadcasters. It makes me cringe. I bet they get hundreds every single day from all clubs and piss them selves laughing at some before they send out their stock responses.

It was Dave Whelan who broke his leg

Really when?

 

[Corky]

Who is he?

He has been commentating/analysing on Granada soccer since night about 1990 so well known to most city fans.

 

[Gordyola]

I like Jim Beglin's commentary - maybe this was simply a slip of the tongue - accidentally repeating something he heard. He did immediately correct himself though... so who knows.

It’s clearly a word he uses outside of his job so his apology is very empty His biggest mistake is apologising as he’s brought so much attention to it

 

[ganganvince]

It was caught by many in the first half Jim Beglin called our stadium the 'Emptyhad' then corrected it and said the Etihad!

Cheeky or not this is another low from the media!

 

[Woody135]

Even if it was a genuine mistake, it's one you would only make if you had used that word a few times before.

This.
Got no doubt it was a mistake. But only because its how he refers to it off camera

I read our opponents forums after we've beaten them. It's like a mirror image of our forums. The refs were against us, the commentator loved it when they scored, all the usual stuff

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I don't feel able to complain to BT or ofcom about this as I watched this game as I do every other on BT sport via a snide stream which costs me not so much as a penny. Cheers BT.

 

[N1985]

Fuck em. Must absolutely fucking pain them how good we are. Long may it continue. Hopefully it retires a few of these old cunts.

 

[ysmsa]

40,000 season ticket holders makes us one of the best supported ‘small’ clubs in world football

A lot of which will have Covid, be caring for someone with Covid, be Shielding for Family affected by Covid and unable to pass tickets on as we know how hard that is nowadays. Throw in Covid checks at the turnstiles but you carry on Jim trying to get a laugh.

Obviously a word he uses quite regularly, so tripped himself up and embarrassed himself on tv. To be honest, more embarrassing/childish that he uses words like that in the first place. However, he did once threaten to chin Gordon Strachan, so he’s not all bad.

 

[Longballutd]

Beglin the sad act, you’d expect it from some braindead fans but fairly pathetic from him when he’s being paid to do a job.

They probably series record Points of View on BBC.

 

[BigJoe#1]

They obviously picked up on it and on the offence it must have caused - their email account and phones must have been busy, because he apologised for a "mistake" he'd made earlier.
