Can someone make a gif using this material?
You've got it spot on mate. The "break through of sorts" comment did it for me when we scored our first. FFS that was a crucial goal that got us back into the game and from which we went on to win it. And yet all we got was that negative, downbeat comment. Had it been the Rags or Chavs they'd have been all over it - mark of champions, fighters, never know when they're beaten etc etc.Exeter Blue I am here said:Pigeonho said:
Whilst I would tend to partially concur with you, cos some of the stuff on here about Quinn and Tyler is patently ridiculous, there's still a negative undertone to the commentary that is conspicuous by its absence when other English teams are playing in Europe. As I posted last night, after 2 minutes of yesterday's game we got called "wannabes" by the dynamic duo, then they trotted out a complete non-story (utterly devoid of substance) about Neuer being "linked" with City, just so they could then indulge themselves with a sneering "no chance" punch line, and then our opening goal was morosely described as a "break through of sorts". It's no wonder people get fed up with them in the circumstances, even if you see no evil, hear no evil
Bang on the moneystony said:I just think he's a clueless **** and latches onto any point he can to try and make himself look more knowledgeable than he is. Can't remember which game it was, but it was pretty recent. Hart kicked out and unusually it found a City player. Quinn immediately commented that "Joe's kicking and distribution was a strong point of his game" He obviously hasn't spent any time watching Joe, or he'd know it was one of his biggest flaws. He just picked up on it because it was what he'd seen in the last few seconds. In other words he's a fucking chancer. A know nowt bullshitting streak of piss.
Watch out for it next time he commentates. A player will do something good and Quinn will tell you how much a part of his game it is.

Not to mention sending us all home very happy back in the day by saving a penalty. Big Niall.Chris in London said:FWIW I think he's a shit pundit, and he seems to me a lot quicker to find fault with City than with whoever we are playing against. Whenever City are playing an inferior team his tone seems to be 'plucky little underdogs' but when, as with last night, we are playing a better team his tone seems to be 'City just aren't good enough at this level'.
Which is irritating.
But those calling for his head, read Paul Lake's book and see what he has to say about Quinn.
In my book, Quinn made an all round contribution to City which is worth a lot more than some disparaging remarks during match commentary.
I think it's his Arsenal connection, they are his number 1 not Sunderland he just worked for them....we have recently taken their best players and pushed them down the pecking order when it comes to the so called big 4.....this is why I think he doesn't like us as Arsenal are his true loveblink922 said:I don't understand why he is so bitter, never has anything decent to say about us
Santiago Street . said:At first I thought Quinn detractors were just overly sensitive but I have to admit now that his default position seems to be to criticize us at any opportunity.
But for me it's still a case of don't shoot the messenger. Sky with their stake in the rags and their populist approach to everything obviously impose an editorial position that pundits have to follow.
Anyone who doesn't toe the line is quickly sidelined a la Buzzer
Quinn doesn't bother me really.Stortz said:He's nothing compared to Tyler though, you can actually hear Tyler willing the other team on in his commentary it's pathetic!
