Give the lad a break .

The way the media in general,and the bbc specifically portrayed the teenager as some sort of cruel malignant greedy young footballer for daring to leave Klanfield is bound to make him wary and a little introvert when they suddenly have to suck his cock after scoring a hat trick in a premier league game.
Do you think Sterling didn,t notice the disgraceful manner in which he was portrayed in the press all summer?
Do you not think he might take the view..i,ll play this down,dont want to appear cocky or arrogant or say anything which could be misconstrued by the watching millions.
Sterling was professional and cool. i like that.
rooney is all smiles after scoring his second league goal of the season,Sterling smashes three in one game and remains cool when questioned by those who tried to turn every football fan in the country aginst him.Well played lad.

And no need for the your earning shit loads of cash comment either.they all earn big money and our owner earns more than most- you dont see him skipping down the street singing the world is great..he is cool,reserved professional and in the background.Gloat when you have won the title, not when the media have to eat humble pie and acknowledge your class in a routine premiership game.

If you want to see how much Sterling is enjoying being at City, check out the official web site recording of his first day at the club,the big smiles,the warmth,the affection shines through..in a friendly supportive enviroment, as opposed to being questioned by hypocrites in front of watching millions.

Well played Raheem Sterling.

May I offer my apologies for my post, which has upset/annoyed a couple of posters on here. Looking back, I could have worded it somewhat better than I did. I was just disappointed with the way the lad came across, but I hadn't taken his treatment in th summer into account.

No worries JH.
W e all sometimes take things at face value without looking at the bigger picture.
For the bbc to present anyone as a demon when they employed jimmy saville for five decades AND claimed not to know what he was up to beggars belief.
 
Nice gesture when Sterling walked over to give that lad his shirt at the end. He may be no orator but he knew how much that would mean to the young Blue.

Best bit of MotD for me.

A defender is ALWAYS considered active.
It doesn't matter whether he's on the ground injured, or tying his bootlace or talking to the crowd, he can still be playing an opponent onside. - See SWP's goal at QPR in the League Cup about 12 years ago.

Yep, that's the way I see it.

If a defender deliberately stepped behind his own goal line in order to place an opponent in an offside position, the referee's instruction would be to allow play to continue and caution the defender for deliberately leaving the field of play without his permission. As the player in this match didn't ask for permission to leave the field of play he is still considered active. He didin't receive a caution because the referee couldn't determine the action as deliberate, but nevertheless play continues and he plays our guy onside.
 
On the round-up on MOTD 2 they still left the offside comment on the footage so either nobody at the BBC knows the rules, they couldn't be arsed adjusting the video or they have no professional pride...... Or all three.
 
I wonder if Sterling is as pissed off as we are over his media treatment hence his straight bat interview approach.
 
While the commentator got it wrong, and should have been corrected by the studio team, the pundits didn't even raise the alleged 'offside'.

I can live with that, especially as they pointed out the error for Iheanacho.
