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

[Cielo Azul]

These jibes shouldn't bother us. I think for most of us they have become extremely boring if anything. Some fans have become so bitter towards us it is embarrassing.

 

[Barcon]

The same has been said about Tyler Martin - by numerous Man City fans claiming bias against us - and an equal if not more number of Manchester United fans claiming bias against them - not to mention the possibly even more numerous Liverpool fans who swear that Martin hates Liverpool.

In America - Joe Buck - American Football/Baseball commentator can't catch a break.

Truth is, the slightest criticism of a home team is remembered and praise is glossed over.

I'm just asking if you had noticed it. I've been listening to him do our games for years and it's very obvious to me.
The other bloke (Peter Drury) that's on with him doesn't do it.

I haven't noticed it. I sometimes disagree whole-hartedly of course with specific opinions, mostly about whether such-and-such is was a penalty. My personality is such that I go with what I see. Sometimes pundits claim that, for example, a City defender didn't commit a foul whereas I disagree based on what I see. You'd hate me as a pundit!

Never heard of Maris Piper?

Sort off, lol

Not at all. As long as you didn't make stuff up like Beglin does ; )

Had to google that therefore it isn't that common.

I wouldn’t worry about it. We tend to have the last laugh!

 

[johnnytapia]

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!

Boo hoo, I nearly cared

Lol, Jim Fcking Beglin! Doubt the fat tw*t has ever played in front of 54000.

The thicko Scallies will love him for it though. Sigh.

 

[Fordyboy46]

He did it on purpose, told to by his paymasters

If you personally are annoyed that someone made a thread you don't deem to be 'threadworthy', and you're not a mod or admin, you take this website way too seriously.

It's a forum, let people chat shit if they want. Just don't read the thread if you don't think it needed to be a thread.

Sets a new standard for commentators - well done Jim!

Look forward to "dippers a bit lucky with that decision" from Micah next week.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I have sat in my friends house in Tampa while on holiday several times over the years watching City with Beglin Commentating. I don't even have to ask him anymore to mute it. Beglin is a clueless, boring, droning prick. He wasn't even a decent player.

Where in Tampa?

 

[MarsLlama]

It's a matter of personal preference - cheers. You don't like him and that's OK with me :-)

Watching a football match from the stadium among thousands of others is what all football fans dream of. But we never get to watch every game we love directly. Most of us only have the chance to sit in front of the TV and gather around at a large public screen. Or the majority of […]

Not sure you can use one pretty awkwardly written article as evidence

 

[argyle]

Don't get all upset and pissed off about it. It doesn't matter.

We're 13 points clear. All that matters.

I get that some people genuinely don't care but there's nothing dipper about calling it out, as a pathetic thing to say. Especially from someone in his position. Also, a few need to bare in mind, you can't pretend you're too cool to care but then desperately try and shut everyone down, who is annoyed enough to say something about it. That's even more fussy, if anything.

 

[Metalartin]

It was probably deliberate or at best, a slip about something he was discussing with his Liverpool mates around him.

There was nothing wrong with the attendance today either. Especially considering the early kick-off and the weather. So if he was having a pop at that or discussing it close kick-off and that's where the slip came from, he's talking bollocks either way. Doubt it was about today's game though. It's probably just him being a sycophant.

Had to laugh reading that apology tweet thread. There's always that one person, who tries to sell the conspiracy, that City buy their own tickets. How dumb and uninformed can they be? To not see that it has no legs whatsover. There's professional journalists who fit that category too though, which is when it becomes more annoying than amusing.
