Derry Alli Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I'm not really sure why Salah's goal was given so much praise. Had read a lot about an excellent run and finish online today. He's run in a straight line - unchallenged - and places his shot well from 18 yards out. It's criminal 'defending'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I absolutely hate that faux hard man behaviour from Knockaert. That challenge was horrible and stupid. A truly cretinous act. I suppose it was for him to show how hard he is but that's massive shitebag behaviour. It's a cowardly challenge but also one that attempts to absolve him of responsibility for the game and result. I'd be furious if I was his manager and would tell him that it happened again he'd be sacked (or at least never played again and left to rot in the stands until another club took him). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Martin Keown talking about Salah’s goal/the ball today: “It’s the cleanest sweetest strike you’ll see this season, you can see the logo on it, it doesn’t even move”. Cue slow-motion replay showing ball spinning, logo disappearing and taking a dip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Pretty shite that the main talking point every week is VAR. Wonder how they’ll improve the use of video refereeing or if they’ll just bin it. After seeing the farce of VAR I wouldn’t want that brought in up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's slightly amusing is the way people talk about VAR being a talking point and go on about how they wish it wasn't all people talked about. Of course, many who opposed the introduction of VAR (or had seen it applied in other leagues) knew and said that this was exactly what would happen. There is no fair way to apply VAR. It can't be done. Unless you simply apply VAR to every decision made on the pitch, there will always be scope for someone to be outraged at the unfairness of it. The 1989 Scottish Cup final shows us that even an innocuous throw-in can win or lose a cup. Every decision on the pitch might be vital, and for that reason VAR cannot work without making football absolutely unwatchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 This thread has sadly died a death for some reason. Anyway, with goals galore and big results at the bottom of the table, MotD decide to kick off the show with... Liverpool winning at home. What a load of shite. Probably decided by the same guy who thought Man City v Fulham was a great pick for live TV Coverage in the FA Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Watching MOTD. Classic games highlights. First up Arsenal vs Everton. Arsenal had an incredible team back then, although not that good that they didn't have to play Christopher Wreh. Still, what a player Bergkamp was. Genuinely one of the best of all time. A guy who would fit in to any team of any time. Everton had some team too. Many dirty challenges. Fantastic to see. Most pitches these days seem huge but Highbury looked like it was similar to East End Park in dimensions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Bergkamp offered absolutely nothing other than a few showreel moments. Wouldn't make it on to the bench of most Barclays English Prem teams these days. Interestingly, for a guy scared of flying, 'Bergkamp' in Dutch translates as 'Aeroplane'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about fell off my seat reading this. You've got no business watching fitba, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG.Roma Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've actually enjoyed these Match of Their Day programmes. Good to hear the players' stories as they look back. A few observations... English fitba was absolutely riddled with mistakes in the 90s. Most goals came from someone's mistake. Hardly anyone could keep possession. Gary Neville was a dirty bastad. Peter Schmeichel was overrated, often out of position, lobbed too often. Paul Scholes was magic, so was Ian Wright. Today's rules and VAR would have caused about 4 red cards per game. At least 4 of the above statements should come as no surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hope after yesterday’s Cup Final, the BBC go for a completely new MOTD look and line up for the new season. Time to replace the wooden Lineker and the predictable patter of Shearer and Wright, it’s the same old tired ‘matey’ chat week in week out. The regular replacements don’t offer up much else either, Keown, Murphy etc. Dull and dry dressed up as ‘expert punditry’. I just find myself reaching for the remote to fast forward to the next game highlights, invariably spoilt by an over the top forcibly excited commentator. Match analysis is usually taken up by arguments over diving, cheating, petty fouls and moaning about the use of VAR. What a treat to look forward to on a Saturday night. On second thoughts probably just easier to give the whole programme a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
