Media coverage 2018/19

Dermott Gallagher (ex red) on OPTUS here in Aus saying its a foul and a yellow not a red. Shearer arguing saying it’s a red. Dermott view is the speed and intensity is not there, it’s a one footed challenge as the right leg is actually tucked in and it’s not a two footed challenge.

Ian Wright also arguing its a red as is Luis Garcia.

Out of curiosity, what were their thoughts on Lovren’s tackle on Kun?

 

[squirtyflower]

Survived more gunshots than Boris the Bullet-Dodger that fucker. Watch Klippety rest him for the FA Cup game at the weekend now and try to claim it's down to Vinny's tackle, that would be typical cult.

I thought he was a little fat, now I realise he’s as thin as a rake but his flak jacket is huge

No analysis on that. They did briefly talk about the Sterling potential penalty...”50/50 play on”.

What a surprise

 

[Cambo]

What a surprise

Yes. For me that is a clear penalty. Way more contact and blocking on Sterling than Salahs penalty the other week when he dived with the most minimal of contact.

 

[the talisman]

Yeah really disappointed in the analysis from Shearer and Wright who I usually don’t mind.
Love Shay Given though, no doubt where his loyalty lies.

Just saw Jamie Jackson’s player ratings.

Kompany - 4
Bernardo - 6

He gave Sturridge the same as Bernardo. He came on in the 86th minute!

Amazing. He gets paid. Actual money.

Obviously the scores were provided by his alter ego and fictional writer Jamie Paradise.......

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Just seen that Jamie Jackson has given Vincent Kompany 4/10 and Bernardo Silva 6/10 in his match ratings. Incredible.

How anyone can score Bernardo less than an 11 is beyond me........

He was his usual very busy and technically gifted self whilst physically imposing himself on a physically imposing midfield.

He was fantastic from minute 1!

Can't trust any of the aussie refs.. I watch the A-league heaps and the quality of reffing here is laughable!!

Says more about Jamie Jackson than it does about either player, really

Who would have guessed this guy talks utter bollocks?

 

[doobyedoobye]

Nearly every msm journalist now has an overlord paymaster which means there is zero point reading anything they write..

99% of these wankers who are privileged to earn a living writing about football, really don't understand the game. I bet JJ has never kicked a ball; his only memories of actually playing sport are getting bummed in the shower after a game of real tennis at public school.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Fuck um.

 

[jay_mcfc]

SKY were very fair and balanced last night, but then I suppose they wanted the gap to be 4 points rather than 10.

He is an ex English Ref that the UK studio went to in post game analysis. OPTUS here just gets the UK feed, which is different (commentators, panel, interviews etc) than the Sky feed in the UK. I agree with you however on the refs down here!

You think so??

 

[cheekybids]

I’ve just listened to the times podcast with Alison Rudd, it’s hilarious the straws they cling to. Obviously everyone agreed Kompany was a clear red & no mention of Sterling pen.

I saw those. Brilliantly insane.

the match report reckons City were timid at the start.
As for Garside in the i:

I am forced to believe that he was at a different match to the one I watched.
