Sky with Dermot Gallaher as the "referee expert" on the ref watch article on the app have come up with a new one. Apparently the Pogba foul wasn't a red card as he meant to go for the ball so it would be mean to send him off. Instead, it was a "high intensity yellow"

WTF

Mark Halsey on TS said intention was irrelevant and a red would not have surprised anyone, thought ref had slightly blocked view

Is it his birthday soon?

[Nigels Tackle]

he can fuck right off.
the thick cunt always seems to forget that there are permanent, easily accessible records of all the stupid things he’s said in the past.
all those great things he did for us ruined by things he said when he left. cunt.

That about sums him up.

He said exactly what Redknapp said, near word for word. Let's not forget that Redknapp was retrospectively banned back then, even after receiving a yellow. If it was that bad back then, then it surely is now in these times of risk aversion.

The speed in which Redknapp was wheeled out during the game, milli-seconds after the challenge, said it all for me. He came on stammering away to get the point across, over-riding the commentary team. That was the fastest I've ever seen Sky try and brush something under the carpet and, by the looks of it, it's worked as nobody is really talking about it.

And, then, why not role out the Kompany challenge on The Diving Bastard, just to change the subject a little more. Maybe coincidental, but very inline with how the media choose the narrative.

The same sky that turned down the volume during 6-1 and when Sergio scored to make it 2-1 at the swamp. Shelvey puts one on Pogba = Villain.

Pogba high late on the upper thigh of Ali, burried in a second. BENT !

From the BBC website for our goal tonight:

All it takes is about £160m of talent to combine to get the breakthrough! Kevin de Bruyne plays a sensational pass from the halfway line into the run of Riyad Mahrez, he stands up his man on the right wing and plays it back to Sergio Aguero inside the area, he just passes it first time across goal and into the back of the net.

Tiresome, predictable and hypocritical. You never read that when they are fawning over a Pogba/Martial/LuLu or Liverpool goal

BBC Sport has become Rag Central since the new boss came in. It was always Red-centric but when they hire the Rag cunt to take over the sport media page then you know what agenda they have taken.

Interesting. Thought I'd watch the start of 'The Debate' on Sky has it showed a pic of Pep; thought it would be about how Pepnis taking all the cups seriously but, due to my stupidity, I was wrong. It revolved around how well Burton have done in the 2nd leg, which I have no issue with. They also had Kevin Phillips on their to sing their praises, as if an ex-player, but then you realise he isn't and is singing off a misinterpreted song sheet.

And no real mention of us, or Pep. I'm disappointed and Sky will lose another grand a year.

Can I ask, for those with Sky, is it worth it? I cannot stand the thought of funding them to employ the likes of RatBoy and Spitter, sounds like they should have their own superhero cartoon.

Our national broadcaster is a shameful nest of City-hating rats.

God, he's such a sad individual, desperate to try and cling on to reflected glory.

And where does that media pressure and delusional expectation come from John?

Sounds to me like him and quite a few of his cronies are a tad worried already.

[sheblue]

Wouldn't get too bothered about it, just another in a long line of very bitter resentful haters. But I do think they are getting a bit worried. And rightly so.

[salford city]

I don't think that Dyche helped with his 'City could win everything' comment at weekend - the poor lambs. How much are those tickets for your last home game going for now - £6k last week......

Said it before, Aldridge is possibly the very worst of the ex dippers. Has fuck all worthwhile to say and whines when he says it.
