Yeah he was good but not at that level - tbf I can't see Bobby achieving anything like the success young Neil had with Celtic.

And with the Beatles.

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.

Because as we all know after the BBC upset Fergie and United, and then went groveling back to them, the BBC will not do anything or highlight anything that will upset United again. The editing team at MOTD know that. Thankfully other sports media outlets do not tow the United line. No mention on Sly Sport eitherway.Let's see what the FA do?

Good article about Peps methods in the times today'. Comparing his obsession with patterns and creating space to a Chess player.

A few newspapers are now running with the story which makes it all the more outrageous that $ky and MOTD have not mentioned it. Another clear case of biased reporting that would sit well in North Korea.

Sky sports news now actually reporting it , only taken them 36 hours . Makes you wonder why they are now picking it up , might have something to do with social media being plastered with it.

Biased as F**k. The only thing left without a fiddle in this world is a Brass Band! Lumpkaku needs a 3 match ban without a doubt for that, he continued kicking out till he got him.
I shall refrain from holding my breath.

Which highlights my point. They should be leading with it, instead they ignored it for as long as possible and only when it was becoming obvious did they decide to mention it.

Heads up. The Goat is in the studio for Monday premier league talk on sky.
