Media discussion - 2024/25

My favourite part of NBC’s post-match coverage was Robbie Mustoe initially forcefully arguing against Tim Howard’s insistence that it was the right decision to give the goal by saying Bernardo was impacting Sa from an offside position as the ball came in, so that is an argument for it not being given, despite Bernardo having ducked out of the way by the time Stones made contact with the ball.

Then they go to an ad break, and come back to Mustoe explaining that it was the correct decision to give the goal because players can’t be offside from a corner, without acknowledging he made a mistake with his earlier assertions because he didn’t know the rules.

Comedy gold.
To be fair, he’s usually pretty even-handed. I too expected him to apologi(s)ze and was a little surprised he didn’t. Howard was a fucking keeper and even he was like, “Nah, nothing in that” when everyone thought the bump was the issue.
 
Match Of The Day should be fun tonight.
That ref watch bollocks on sky tomorrow morning will be even more fun! Obviously they’ll say it shouldn’t have stood. And will be played on a loop all week to try and get in refs heads for our next game
