Gab Marcotti is such a piece of shit

What’s he done?

 

[willipp]

MOTD making out David Silva tackle as bad as Phillips on Diaz, and caused him to injure himself! Silva injury caused by clashing hips, as shown on Sky sports this morning. Lying tw@ts trying to get Silva (& possibly Fernandinho for a starmp) banned!

They didn't though did they. Yes they highlighted it, but they all agreed it was nothing like Phillips challenge and more just a poorly timed tackle.

From the BBC match report:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42799045

One possible blemish on the evening for the hosts is the prospect of retrospective action being taken against Fernandinho after the Brazilian escaped any punishment for planting his foot onto the thigh of the prone Grzegorz Krychowiak in the first half.

Yes they highlighted this when in fact he hardly touched the WB player, yet they studiously avoid criticising the inept officials.

That bloody linesman that did sod all when Walker was taken out in the second half should never officiate in another professional football match.

What did Fernandinho even do?

 

[jrb]

You'd think with City being 15 points clear at the top of the table and above United, our local MUEN Rag would be leading with City headlines and stories.(imagine if United were in City's position)

No!

The first 6 football articles are about United.

The 7th article is the failed Mahrez Bid, with a picture showing.......

Let's just say he got away with a 'Dele'.

Can anyone tell me how to reply to a comment on the daily mail online sports pages. Cheers.

No he didn't, he trod on him, there was no stamp.

 

[The Black Shed]

No he didn't, he trod on him, there was no stamp.

Sure he did, weighted somewhere between a step and a planted leg. Definate yellow though. No argument from me

Just seen it. It’s a clear red card and if we’re going to criticise other players for their challenges then we should do the same with Fernandinho. It’s wreckless and stupid.

Bollocks all day long, even the commentator sugested he had no where to put his leg, he didnt stamp on him. Blues are weird, we start off complaining about a waist high, studs up challange and end up wanting one of our own retrospectively banned. YCNMIU.

Fucking unreal, mate. Nowhere near a stamp.

You got a gif?
I'd like to see it again because to me it just looked like he unintetentionally trod on him. He showed no remorse mind but then there's no reaction from any Baggie player either which suggests thry believed it was accidental too.

The Silva tackle on Yacob was my favourite moment of the match and the hacking **** wound his neck right in after it, typical coward.

Its a media narrative that we are as bad, so the opposition can carry on chopping down our players at will.

Never said he should be banned, that's going too far. But absolutely a yellow card offence.

On MOTD, it looked strange. It didn't look entirely convincing that he had nowhere else to put it down, and that there was a fraction of a second's pause before he did put it down. It wasn't done with a great deal of force, but anything like that has been grouped under 'stamp' for sensationalism for a year or two now.
