Just saw Mark Bright in crowd at United v Palace match. Doesn’t seem to be a pundit anymore but remains responsible for the worst piece of punditry I’ve ever heard.

Autumn 2008, Liverpool go to fortress Stamford Bridge and win an extremely tight match 1-0 with an Alonso goal. Liverpool were so well set-up and reduced Chelsea to long-range shots and poor crossing opportunities. A Rafa masterclass in an era when Chelsea were extremely strong.

Mark Bright: “I just think Liverpool were very negative. I think United or Arsenal would’ve gone there and put on a show”

Couldn’t believe how incredibly ungenerous he was...and stupid.

He absolutely detests us and embarrassed himself constantly every single time he was pundit on our games

Her voice is fucking awful

I hate having to agree with this but she's like a higher pitched Jonathan Pearce. Not present day but first-year-on-TV Jonathan Pearce.

I remember Jonathan Pearce on Channel 5 about 20 years ago, he was utterly horrendous

If I recall, that was also Chelsea's first home defeat in 86 matches.

Penalty for me.

edit: and a lovely pen from Jiminez. Love a pen where you just look at the keeper.

'Look at the ball... decide where you going to put it beforehand' blah blah.

Anyone with the 00/01 treble season on dvd will remember some J Pearce classic commentary from the UEFA cup that year, it was really like listening to Robot Wars on grass.

Cahill sounds like he's reading a script off the inside of his eyelids.

You can tell someone has spent the day patiently explaining to him what he needs to say.

Aye, but not for us. His song could be heard several times during those highlights. You'd think he'd know.

Know a father and son, both passionate Reds, not moaners or anything, both otherwise got their heads on straight. Neither think Bobby is good enough. Weird.

How that was not a red card is anybody's guess, thought so when I saw it live and nothing has changed my mind. Wilson very lucky not to break his ankle

Mr F · « **Reply #5228 on:** August 31, 2019, 11:16:43 pm »

How on earth is that not a red for Tielemans? I’m a VAR fan but the way it’s being utilised will kill it.

West Ham not getting that penalty as well.. Its just fucking weird.

kennedy81 · « **Reply #5234 on:** August 31, 2019, 11:36:47 pm »

The lads on MOTD don't seem to understand how VAR works.

The VAR officials aren't asking was it a clear and obvious pen, they're asking was it clear and obvious to the referee. In other words, they're allowing the ref some leeway in being able to get it wrong. Just like before VAR.
It's like that to try and appease the VAR bashers, and keep out of the way as much as they can. They'll only over-rule the ref if they think it should have been clear and obvious to the ref.

I believe this is how it's being implemented in the PL at least. Possibly different in other leagues and UEFA comps? Unless I have it wrong.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #5235 on:** August 31, 2019, 11:38:16 pm »

To be fair to VAR, it can't actually do anything with that Villa goal because the referee had already blown his whistle, so the play was dead before the goal.

Just a case of Kevin Friend being utterly, utterly useless.

Yep it wasn't even a dive.

Now for the comedy.

lfc79 · « **Reply #5237 on:** August 31, 2019, 11:49:21 pm »

So now var will only correct decisions if the ref isn’t sure by never overturn a decision, problem the worst refs tend to be most arrogant thinking they are always right.

It's not how it works mate. The ref is there to ref the game as he normally would. He's not a VAR official.

VAR will only pull him up on something, if they think he's made a clear and obvious error. A foul might be a clear and obvious penalty to someone watching on a replay, but it might not be clear and obvious to the ref at the time. He's allowed to be wrong, he just can't be clearly and obviously wrong.
