Complaint submitted to the BBC regarding the blatant ignoring of the Lumpkaku incident.
"It appears that the MOTD editorial Team deliberately ignored an incident where Romelu Lukaku kicked out at a defender twice in the build up to Manchester United’s goal. It was clearly visible in real time, so there is no way it was missed by the analysts. I am certain there is more than the one camera angle of the incident, but it seems the team only chose to show a limited view of the incident.
Interestingly, the editorial team managed to find a camera of the slightest brush of the ball on the defenders foot as the ball went out for the corner which led to the goal, but strangely not the violent conduct in the same build up. Whilst this incident may not have directly affected the outcome, it was still violent conduct which is punishable by a Red Card. At the time of the incident this would have meant Manchester United would have to play for at least 24 minutes with 10 players, assuming the Match Officials saw the incident, which they obviously didn’t.
When Sergio Aguero elbowed Winston Reid, he was correctly retrospectively banned for violent conduct. The MOTD team carried out a full analysis of the incident, and it was played out on all social media platforms, including the BBC match report. Aguero was subsequently banned for the Manchester Derby. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37146992)
It makes me wonder what the BBC MOTD teams reasoning is behind not even mentioning the Lukaku incident 3 games before the Manchester Derby. It looks like a clear case of bias to me."
I expect the usual bulls**t reply.
