Football 2011/12 Football Season

[Slyboogy]

I like it when the BBC and Sky Sports does the games. But ITV have pundits with no sense of humour.

Don't watch sports on itv ever since the 2007 F1 season were I realised itv is so bad for sports.

I think I'm the only one who likes the BBC punditry with Alan Hansen...

I remember there was huge outcry when ITV got the FA Cup, mainly because it was far better on the Beeb.

Alan Hansen is the only decent pundit they have!

He's got the status of nearly a legend.

That and England internationals aswell, but i do think ITV is better than having no FA Cup on freeview.

Edited the last post...can't believe I put "doesn't" instead of "decent" and then I wander why people don't understand me

I think the ITV punditry is better than the BBC punditry for two reasons:

1. Ad breaks
2. Roy Keane

As for Hansen, he is really dialling it in. I cannot stand the knowledge and research proof golf clubhouse that is the BBC's pundits. Shearer didn't know of a full French international last year, Hansen spent the World Cup mocking Lee Dixon for having heard of players (e.g. Marek Hamsik), Lawrenson calls his co-commentator "sad" if he says anything vaguely interesting.
Sky's commentary and pundits make both terrestrial channels look stupid - Neville and Souness in particular don't seem to care who they disagree with!

Moral victory for City there if nothing else. Shame they couldn't both lose

As things stand Kompany is suspended for Spurs' game at City, so I thought it was an excellent game!

Just heard that the referee Chris Foy was presented with the Man of the Match award by Sir Alex Ferguson at half time today.

I think it proved, regardless of the result, who the best team in Manchester are.

OT: 0-1, justified red card Utd early 2nd half, 1-6
ES: 0-1, unjustified red card Citeh early 1st half, 2-3

And, is it just me, or is there only one player in world football sport who can be praised for missing a bloody penalty?

We've got the Mackems in round 4 - i'm going to it now can't wait!

 

[Galahad]

A very good draw for the non-Premier League teams.

Oh, and Spurs.

Dons vs Chelski (hopefully!)

 

[Galahad]

Looks like the mighty Dons have cost Neil Warnock his job.

Nice trip for the Swans to either Maccelsfield / Bolton, with our current away form that counts as a bye for us.

Neil Warnock given the boot by QPR. The King of getting team's promoted but a complete muppet at keeping a team up. Mark Hughes rumoured to be next in line to be paid off by QPR!

Funny how people think i got kompany sent off. Im not ref. i didnt give red card. But it was a clear red card. 2 footed tackle

​

Several holes to this:​

1. If he's powerless to affect the referee, why waste energy chasing him across the pitch
2. The rule is "excessive force", not 2 footed tackle.
3. If we're going to stick strictly to the rules, "Foul & Abusive Language" is still a straight red, one that Mr. Rooney is guilty of in every single match that he is involved in.
4. Why do English players waving imaginary cards not get criticised?

 

[Slyboogy]

The only payer that I remember getting criticised for it, was Cristiano Ronaldo back in the 2006 world cup or was it euro 2008? And guess who got sent off when he did it? None other than Wayne Rooney.

He got blasted by the media for it....

How times change.
