VillaChris Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I've always liked Lineker....been a very good presenter now for a number of years even if he is a bit too matey on occasions with the pundits. No mean feat though for an ex footballer to be as polished as a properly trained media journalist as all his predecessors were. I agree it's the Sun being the Sun isin't it. They hate the BBC so will always go OTT whenever one of their employees does something newsworthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Lineker is probably the best presenter out there right now. I'm not a massive fan of his MOTD presenting but I do think he is really good on live games, especially international tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Quote Liverpool should re-sign Steven Gerrard as a player and coach as the "only effects would be positive", says the club's former defender Mark Lawrenson. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37995697 1. He isn't a coach. 2. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Liverpool are playing some of the best stuff in the league right now. Free flowing. 3. His legs went 3 years ago, and he was an embarrassment in his final season. Carried through games, shoehorned into the side, picking up the ball of the CBs for a pointless 90 yard hollywood ball. 4. He hasn't played a 'competitive' game in a year and a half. 5. Give it a week and he would be back trying to run the club, dictate how many games he plays, what games he plays, where he plays. Apart from that Lawro. Great suggestion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Harry Redknapp surprise surprise was ridiculous the other day saying no Costa Rican player would get in England's fifth team or along those lines. He must've missed Joel Campbell regularly being picked over Walcott last season.... It's not the 1960s anymore 'arry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2016 In our game last week the commentators apologised if the viewers had heard any unsavoury chants. Since when has that been a thing? They'll have to apologise a hell of a lot if they start doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Astounded both Danny Murphy and Jena said vardy red card was a good tackle and a yellow would have been harsh, he had both feet of ground at speed and wether he got the ball first is irrelevant then saying the penalty was harsh, Simpson had he's hand in the air, Murphy said "all he's trying to do is stop the cross" absolute rubbish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 sure pundits moan about referees being inconsistent when they are just as bad. If foreign lad like Rojo does the same tackle he should get a 6 game ban 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Yep Vardy was deffo a red card. Handball was another correct decision. Few of the yellow cards were a bit suspect but other than that it's been a grossly unfair witch hunt against that ref. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentators will only refer to the football side of it though, i doubt they mentioned our game having the biggest police operation for any football match in the country, I'd be surprised if their was a fixture with more red cards then Liverpool v Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think it was red by the letter of the law, though I wouldn't deem it as dangerous as it was more of a sliding motion than the sort of stamping motion you usually get when two feet leave the ground. So the "out of control" comments I've seen are a little over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hmmmm. Just watched it now. I'm not convinced that was deserving of a straight red but I can see why it was in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
