Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[andthesunshineband]

Just once it would be nice for the individual at the end of the usual scouse outrage to say fuck off, I’m not apologising and stop being such cunts.

Just once…

Would be a novel way of resigning

Does sound like he's conflating Hillsborough with being a "hooligan-related" issue, and I can see why people would call him a twat for that.

 

[red 2 hats]

The murderers have gone full victim mode, shock.

 

[bluemoon32]

In fairness, he got it wrong and should have apologised

 

[Starr Gate Blue]

Tyler and his fellow cronies never get jumped on for calling Liverpool "European Royalty". The way Heysel 1985 has been erased from history is astonishing.

Just thinking before that I hadn’t heard Hillsborough mentioned for at least 12 hours then up pops Martin Tyler. Daft sod.

 

[deano ou812]

Look,what happened at Hillsborough was awful and shocking and the cover up as well was disgusting,but there was a hooligan element involved as well .

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Every time i see this thread updated i hope its RIP

You want him dead?

I really hope that’s hyperbole.

I really hope that’s hyperbole.

I didn't know that could kill you.

Or maybe you were thinking of hypertension...

True. You never hear a negative word or read an unfavourable comment about the rags or the dippers. Ever.
You pick up any newspaper and go to the sports section, there will be plenty of articles about how wonderful Klopp has done on a shoestring budget, how exemplary the followers of the cult are, what wonderful, exciting football they play, etc. And the same with the rags: the club is in total disarray, chaos behind the scenes, players not wanting to be there and walking out on the team, crippled by an absolute monster of a debt while the stadium is crumbling around their shoulders. And yet the media in this country would have you believe that all is well at the swamp. The roses are in bloom, the sun is always shining, everybody is happy - basically, Disneyland has relocated to Trafford Park.

It would make such a refreshing change if -just for once- these 'journalists' stopped trying to tell us all that black is white and vice-versa.
