memoryof82 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Was is it me or did anyone else watching it, notice that Tony Gale was really hurt when we scored, like it went against all he stood for, and if he had his way it would have been disallowed, he genuinely sounded hurt, really annoyed me his general commentary, or am i the only one?...
Lombardo Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Theres no dont know option!!! I was watching it with no sound in the college bar so cant really comment, but I cant stand that prick anyway!!!
sam100 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 i can't say i notcied anything he said gabby had been quiet, and that he probably needed a rest as he hadn't been in the game then about 6 seconds later gabby scored and he went lets take that back he seemed like he was having a joke to me, because gabby scored just as he was saying he had done nothing in the game
memoryof82 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Just felt that his voice seemed gutted that we scored, and that he didn't think any of the squad was good, and we were doomed...
blandy Posted April 3, 2007 Moderator Posted April 3, 2007 I was quite disgruntled with the style of the Sky presentation. I don't think they were "unfair", but they were sensationalising the game both in the build up and commentary. All this Villa plummeting, only won 2 in 19 or whatever. Well yes, but they made no mention of the number of draws, or gave any context really. Just over-egging the whole thing. Then, having done that they seemed mildly miffed that it didn't go according to how they had pre-ordained it would in the second half. Strangely, I thought Peter Reid talked some of the more common sense stuff on the programme, along with the presenter bod in the box who asked decent questions of him. At least beelzebub wasn't on.
shambles Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Sounds like John Motson shouting 'yeess' when ManU scored against us last season. rocket polisher.
ianrobo1 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 we haven't won a live league game this season have we ?
KT3AVFC Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Why does everyone think the media is against us? If it's not Gale, it's Lawro and if it's not Lawro it's Le Tiss. In my experience the media (and most supporters of other clubs) are completely indifferent to the Villa. Most can't be bothered enough to dislike us. Chill out peeps when we storm into the top 5 then they'll have enough reasons to dislike us.
jasthevillan Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 The guy has always been a pro London clearing in the woods, he couldn't give a shit about us or the blue scouse
WEAREVILLA Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I was quite disgruntled with the style of the Sky presentation.

Strangely, I thought Peter Reid talked some of the more common sense stuff on the programme, along with the presenter bod in the box who asked decent questions of him. At least beelzebub wasn't on. This sums up my thoughts. There certainly seemed to be a lot of knocking villa, like Blandy says focusing on the bad stuff and the fact that we are in free fall blah blah blah!!! Suprisingly, Mr Reid, was very good, told it how it was and was complimentary about the fans, players, mon and the club - from an Evertonian I was impressed. Mr Gayle gets royally on my tits though
mykeyb Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I thought he was a grade a prat and was definitely anti villa. There were so many instances that Im not going to list them.
Steven843 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Yesterday he said that the Villa were very quiet and in the background all you could hear was the villa fans
SoccerHQ Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 we haven't won a live league game this season have we ? Why does that not surprise me! Saw bits of the re-run on Sky this afternoon, can't se what Gale has done wrong and tbh I was in shock that one of the worst Sky commentators Ian Darke wasn't doing our game as he pretty much always does.
Jon Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Why does everyone think the media is against us? If it's not Gale, it's Lawro and if it's not Lawro it's Le Tiss.

Chill out peeps when we storm into the top 5 then they'll have enough reasons to dislike us. exactly. some poeple need to get over themselves. Don't be so precious. thought he gave a reasonable assessment of what was going on. he had no bias one way or the other as he's not a Evernot fan either. he's an 'Ammer. Reid gave a decent analysis and quite a fair one despite being an ex Evernot player.
LancsVillan Posted April 4, 2007 Moderator Posted April 4, 2007 well I didn't listen to it but as an ex-'ammer I'm sure a team that was possibliy in sight for them gaining a point would have hurt him
BOF Posted April 4, 2007 Moderator Posted April 4, 2007 Yes he did and that man is a word removed, he's always at it. He is one of the main (many) reasons along with Tony Cottee of why I would love to see West Ham going down. Just to see their reaction.
villa89 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yesterday he said that the Villa were very quiet and in the background all you could hear was the villa fans I remember that bit, It just showed up what clearing in the woods he is.
djdabush Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I was in a pub with no commentary, but I did see a little clip of the bit where Arteta chip it past McCann and he sounds suspiciously like he was pleasuring himself.
R.I.C.O. Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Was is it me or did anyone else watching it, notice that Tony Gale was really hurt when we scored, like it went against all he stood for, and if he had his way it would have been disallowed, he genuinely sounded hurt, really annoyed me his general commentary, or am i the only one?... I did'nt watch the game on SKY (I was in the Lower Holte at VP), but if it was anything to go by the terrible commentary he gave when we played WHAM earlier in the season, he would have been biased to the extreme. He probably hates our guts but does'nt admit it as he has to provide a balanced viewpoint to his paymasters. Nowhere near as bad as Mark Bright though.
