Topic: MoTD thread

[PoetryInMotion]

Pretty fair by MotD this week. No penalty because of Silva, but no break and goal because of TAA.

Not really. Trent's handball doesn't count as it should've been an advantage played for us. If after Bernardo Silva's handball, there was a goal scoring opportunity for Man City (including penalty), then the goal/goal scoring opportunity should be ruled out and ball given to Liverpool to restart play as there is no difference between intentional or unintentional handball for the team with a goal scoring opportunity. However, without a goal scoring opportunity, you have to see if Bernardo Silva's handball was intentional or not, and since it was unintentional, play should not be stopped and play wasn't stopped. What happened was the correct decision imo, it all worked out in the end, just the way it was done has made everyone raise questions because Oliver did not actually see Bernardo's handball.

Those saying his hand is in an unnatural position need to look at Aguero. He’s doing a similar stop-adjustment to Trent and his right arm is in the exact same position. In the other Trent incident, if his arm is removed, the shot hits his body - it’s also a foot away.

Posted this in the VAR thread this morning, backs up exactly what you are saying

[Sangria]

He's shit

Shearer's an excellent co-commentator on the radio.

[rushyman]

He's shit

He isn’t to be honest

Only one bearable. Liking Crouch also

I'm sick of his agenda that every time Liverpool get a penalty it is because of a dive - everytime! Yet every penalty against us is legitimate, its getting predictable and boring.

But he's not like that at all is he. Why do you bother watching the programme if you don't like the analysis. You could just watch the highlights then come on here and have a whinge about it whilst the analysis is on?

Oh......

Because I'm strangely attracted to Shearer, perhaps its that lovely Geordie accent, silky smooth and very hypnotic.

Would you like him to creosote your fence?

[rushyman]

Would you like him to creosote your fence?

Shearers Allright

He comes in for it cos he doesn’t sit on the fence like a bland no mark like Cahill when he comes on

His knowledge of football is far superior to Jenas. (But so is my mums to be fair)

A lot around here like Wright. Dont get me wrong he’s a decent lad but he chats absolute waffle, ask him about staying onside holding ball up and scoring he’s fine on. Any other facets of the game and he’s done

All of the others are absolute turds

While there is a degree of hyperbole in those claims, they do tend to claim most of our penalties are not valid, but that seems more an issue of the pundit policy that foreigners dive and english players were clever there or felt contact rather than being specifically against us, we just happen to have some of the more prolific foreigners in the league.

While Wright is obviously limited as a pundit, he can as you mention talk with knowledge on some stuff, which is better than a lot of them and at the same time he doesn't seem like being paid good money to talk about football is something to make you miserable as is the case with Murphy etc.

[Yosser0_0]

I just think the standard of pun-ditry has dropped slightly since these two have retired.

[Red_Mist]

Shearers Allright

He genuinely seems to love the way Liverpool play and gets a buzz out of our pressing, passing and movement. I like that in a pundit, not just because it’s Liverpool, but the way he gets a buzz from any great play (it’s just that we produce a lot of it!)

He comes across as a football fanatic rather than some of the more sterile pundits, and even worse those with an agenda. His five live commentary vs Barca sealed it for me. He loves watching us, although who wouldn’t have that night.

He deffo is a man who loves football and loves to see good football. If we are all honest, we love too see it too (when its not bought by bent means), which is why I loved to watch Wengers Arsenal with Petit, Pires, Bergkamp, Viera, Henry etc.

Exactly Rob. And yeah that Arsenal team were great to watch.

Some fantastic football being played in general in the Prem (and Championship) at the moment.

This?

That’s worth another listen. Brilliant stuff. Got something in my eye again.

[IgorBobbins]

I don't mind Shearer.  I just find him mind-numbingly boring to listen to on MOTD when he's....he's er....watching vt and...er......describing what he's......what he's watching.  Eloquent he ain't.

[wige]

"Origi, 6 yards out! Wow!"

Brilliant commentary throughout.

Hopefully the job he used to present.

Get a room

It’s like when they used to have the odd late night Holyoakes.

Lineker is allowed to swear and Jeans and Murphy get it on with the production staff in a broom cupboard. All very racy.

[Skeeve]

Maybe they are going for honesty and the x stands for 10th rate host and pundits?

[Iska]

wtf is Match of the Day X

It’s for showing the Nations (of Islam) League.

MOTD Extra

[OneTouchFooty]

Reckon City fans will be talking about 'luck' and 'flukes' after their 1st goal?

Showing Mahrez on to his left foot in the box as well.. well in.

[Chris~]

Kepa is awful. Chelsea need to upgrade if they want to take the next step up.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Never ceases to amaze me the glee from commentary teams when someone scores against us.

[gemofabird]

Never ceases to amaze me the glee from commentary teams when someone scores against us.

To be fair, he was pretty lively for our winner too.

[RobbieRedman]

yeah it's all about luck gary, twat

[royhendo]

LUCK (TM)

[Mister Flip Flop]

Lucky  Absolute livid they are

[OneTouchFooty]

Have they forgotten we were 3-0 up against City last game?

Palace had no more better chances than us. Need to get the narrative going though don't they?

[Skeeve]

They all seem so eager to try and deny that pushing a defender out of the area directly in the flight of the ball has no impact on play, they are all so desperately pathetic in their hope that we will slip up.

[Macphisto80]

Arsenal - mentality midgets.

[kesey]

Glad they didn't show the city offside goal. It cost me a 100/1 correct score double.

Lads... please tell me it was a clear offside.

Nope. Actually a bit of a joke of a decision. Not as bad as Bobby's armpit fiasco, but it's close. No way can a lineman give it without taking stick, put it that way.
