Speaking for the sake of speaking instead of when they had something worth saying. Good commentary teams are subtle when they need to be, this has been drill to the brain stuff.Here in South Africa (Supersport) have good coverage for league games, build up, half time and full time analysis, game week previews and recaps etc
However for the cup games there is literally nothing, is this the case in the UK too?
In the first half Varane was fouled with nearly 30 seconds of added time left. By the time he was back on his feet ready to take the free kick it was over one minute later. He stood over the ball about to take the free kick and the referee didn’t even blow to restart he just blew time.1 minute added
They set out to suck Forest off for whatever fecking reason
Robbing the fans who’ve have paid to watch
ETH said himself matches are the fitness training.
We aren't doing much running in training, just recovery + tactical work.
I trust this coaching staff to get it right - none of the players are showing signs of fatigue atm.1 minute of random time added
I assumed it was some sort of care in the community enterprise for bewildered ex footballers
Nah, we always have full commentary and punditry before and after the game. All games in the league and cups.
The only games I remember watching that had no punditry were the Copa America games shown on BBC.Referees and VAR officials should be immersed in a septic tank for thirty seconds each time they get a decision wrong. Standard of refereeing should improve immediately.
Just like when we slapped Leeds 6-1 few seasons ago. Never seen so much praise for getting a thrashingAhhh, they obviously don't pay for that coverage then.. Cheap skates!
He views it as more of a supervisory role
Damn, wrong GandalfDid you get the right name?
Keane is hilarious. Is this called working? Him talking to Ten Hag, 2 no nonsense characters. Great stuff.
That's exactly what I thought happened.
Also I don't think United fans appreciate Bruno enough. He makes a lot of really good passes that go unnoticed due to the overwhelming focus on the risky passes he takes. However, he's imo our most important player and has been for a while. Outside what he does on the ball, I don't think his off the ball attributes getting praised enough. He's always moving, always creating angles, always available as an outlet, yet still has the energy to get up past the striker at times. Defensively, his workrate brings so much to covering our centre. Particularly when Ronaldo was playing with us, I don't think people understand how much pressing coverage Bruno had to do for the teamGotta love Ten Hag and Keane
I know as a United fan it might sound biased, but I genuinely feel that a lot of commentary teams do this ways more for us than they do with other teams. It's one thing championing the underdog, but where praise is usually shelled out to teams dominating the opposition, that doesn't seem to be the case in our games.
Further to this, instead of talking about our dominance in the games; they focus heavily on targeting individual players within the team or harping about a player like Maguire not getting in the team. Maybe it's just me, but more than other clubs, commentators seem to talk more about our club during the games than they do for other clubs. There is way more discussion on our internal affairs that there seems to be for other top clubs within the country.
Varane? He hasn't played for a while, has he, and I don't see him sweating much tonight either. Rather, I think he was in need of game time.Was at the game tonight. Could tell the players were playing in 2nd gear throughout as they knew the tie was literally over. Delighted to see Sancho back. Got a great reception from everyone in the ground which would have done him the world of good.Last edited:
Agree. Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it!
Her voice went through my skull! Terrible.
If Newcastle had been taken over by a consortium run by Pol Pot and Hitler with Caligula as DOF and shipman as the club doctor the media would still want them to beat us.- Status
