Skys relationship with the rags goes back to Murdochs involvement. Correct me if I am wrong.

Murdoch wanted to buy them iirc?

Just wondering if anybody has seen anything about the penalty shout on Saturday? I re-watched it and still can't believe it wasn't overturned? I haven't seen much coverage or any pundits saying it should have been overturned either? Genuinely curious if anybody else has seen anything?

Be on a loop if it was against the cartel clubs but then again they would be kicking off to the media about it where we just accept it. Also if we got that, again be on a slow motion loop showing the dive/minimal contact with HYS opened up for the usual bile( though the BBC would have to squeeze it in amongst the 6 articles they currently have on the Rags loss to Spurs

Where have you been mate?
This was a new rule brought in by Gary Neville about 3 years ago.
"You've got to get stuck in to City".

Danny Murphy was another advocate of nobbling City.
All we need is narky Ian Wright to suggest knees, elbows and head-butts are required...

Even further back (I'm nearly over it) was either Stoke or WBA away I think. SWP got one in the knackers whilst on the deck and kicked out. No on field action taken. Sky had him suspended by Monday evening

It was at Stoke. MoTD and the media went on and on about it until he was charged and then banned.

"Let em know you're there.
Keep em honest"

Proper pro talk.

Gordon had lost control of the ball, was running away from goal & the ball was running out of play.

Eddie didn't pull him down, Gordon tripped over his body.

Entirely predictable but soft.

He bought 10% of us at one point didn't he ?



As for the penalty on Saturday, once the ref had given it, it was never going to be overturned, and from his angle it probably looked nailed on. At the slowest speed replay, you can just about make out there is "contact", but gordon was always going to go down in that situation, even if "contact" wasn't enough.

Very similar to the Jota one last year

The media all managed to see Rodri get his foot stuck in the ground that resulted in his knee injury. No foul, just an accident they shout. Fast forward to Saturday, they cannot see Gordon stick his toe in the ground to get the penalty.
