Comrade 86 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 58 minutes ago, Bob The Badger said: No. It's hackneyed because it's been used a gazillion times in the 70s and 80s. The sex of the commentator is irrelevant. I'd have rolled my eyes if a male had said it, just like I did when ex-Rams TV commentator Jack Woodward also said, 'Put a shift in' yesterday. He would say it in literally every Derby game, often multiple times. I've heard plenty of female commentators on plenty of sports, and she is, by some way, the worst, IMHO. In fact, I've not heard another who I dislike. I getcha Bob, she's no Michael Owen 😋 And FWIW, my comment wasn't trying to imply that you're sexist either, though I do think in general terms, some of the ladies are being held to higher standards than their male counterparts have been, historically speaking at least. For my part, my brain seems to tune out the commentators in most games, so perhaps I'm lucky in that regard.

Sadly, the human interaction remains the single point of failure and having more goals reviewed than not is beginning to ruin the game. It's now got to the point that were the choice, better adjudicators AND VAR, or no VAR at all, I'd very much be for the latter option.

Agreed 86 I remember Jeff Stelling screaming on a Saturday afternoon when he saw in his mind an injustice in the game, "we have the technology" why isn't it being used. Tennis, Both Rugby codes use it, Cricket and it all works fine, But in football there appears to be a microscopic examination after a goal is scored by VAR, Those in power ie the EPL, FIFA, UEFA and ratified by IFAB have taken it to the extreme...imo, I'm not proportioning any blame on the officials...Christ it's a hard enough game to officiate without all the added pressure of making a decision that could have negative consequences against the aggrieved team. England's game last night I'd be in my local watching it with like minded folk...but I stayed home and watched it, No excitement when Bellingham scored...just a 👍 TigerTedd, eddielewis and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 8 hours ago, DarkFruitsRam7 said: He’s been miles off it this season apparently, and he’s rarely looked good against the English teams in Europe. And of all the things to complain about last night, Stones and Guehi aren’t one of them. Much to the annoyance of @SrgI always ask the people calling for Tomori to be in the squad how many times they've watched him play this season, not had a single answer. Wonder how many of them even know that he has only played 11 games in the last 6 months? ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 10 hours ago, Gabby'sThighs said: It does annoy me that Tomori doesn't get a look-in. 100+ Serie A games. Get on a plane, Gareth. If it weren't for the fact that he played for Derby would you still be clamouring for his inclusion? What qualities has he shown this season to make you think he is worthy of an England place? What about James Tarkowski and Michael Keane, they've both played 100+ Premier League games. SSD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertawe_ram Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 A lot of 🔔 ends feigning injury in this France Austria game.

I posted just before that incident and then realised it was gonna look a bit silly, but didn't feel like going back to clarify that I wasn't talking about Mbappe's nose being flattened. It's been both sides on multiple occasions though acting like they've been shot only to get up and carry on once they've had a roll around RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
