Russia World Cup 18

Was worried there for a second.  If Fonte going through the forward in the first half wasn't reviewed then Ronaldo can do one.  Keown can fuck off too, never a pen.

 

Agreed . Keown talking shite and getting hysterical in case VAR isn't working. What would we do without it Martin ?

[Redder Lurtz]

Keown referring to Ronaldo as "the big man" and "the great man". Fucking sycophant.

That Pepe needs a massive shoeing in the tunnel

There's gamesmanship and then there's throwing yourself on the ground because of a shoulder tap.

Baltar and Anny Road get together to express their views on women on football.

 

easytoslip will be along shortly.

Haha not quite mate , it's not sexist at all , it sounds irritatingly shit , what's wrong with saying so? Can't say fuck all these days, especially on here where some try to outdo each other by calling someone racist ,sexist to show how righteous they are

Watching the racing at the moment and the women on there are knowledgeable and good to listening to as opposed to that irritating footy commentary.

Judging by today's shooting, the World Cup ball is a 50p supermarket Cup Final effort.

[Trumo]

All Morocco's chances were falling to Benatia after set -pieces, and he kept failing to hit the target. Portugal were garbage, Mourinho-ball in action.

[magicrat]

I believe in equal opportunities and am not the least bit sexist . Women can be fucking useless , irritating pundits and commentators just as easily as men.  Their lack of direct experience of top flight football can be offset if they have a nice set of norks.

I think the basis of your opinion being "women commentators are shit" rather than "I find Vicky Sparks irritating" means, yes, it is sexist.  It's not a matter of righteousness at all, it just makes you sound like a bit of a dick.

Its not sexist it is preference. I don't like hearing a woman's voice when watching footy. It feels wrong.

Likewise my car was in for a service last year and I got a hire car.

Put in my destination on the sat nav and some bloke comes on and says in 200 yards turn left.

It was horrible. My car had some Joanna Lumley voice and i had grown quite fond of her.

I had to pull over and spend 1/2 a hour figuring out the settings to get something similar. It was just wrong having some bloke telling me stuff.

[TheBitch]

That Portugal performance was as bad a performance as I've seen from anyone this WC, and I include Saudi Arabia in that.

 

Couldn't string any number of passes together and just couldn't maintain possession at all. Cunts.

Bit of a dick eh , haha why because I find something irritating? I bow to your righteousness, but please forgive who the fuck is Vicki Sparks?

Probably best if you just bow out, boring bellend.

Does Subbuteo have women?

Haha I think I will , and I'll take that comment with a Pidge of salt, but who is Vicki Sparks ?

Don't start!

Good lord, the BBC are losing the plot as far as football coverage goes. Female commentators, female presenters, female pundits...

There actually was contact in the top one, but it would have been a soft penalty if given. I don't think there was any contact when he fell to the floor just outside the area before that to win the free kick. I do sometimes wonder if referees ask themselves why Pepe is always involved in shithouse moments like the above, because they hardly ever deal with it the way they should.

[Hades]

I have an implicit bias against women and black people. You can check your own implicit bias by googling Implicit Bias Harvard. This makes it harder for me to enjoy listening to women or watching black people unless they're speaking on something they are genuine experts on like child-bearing and in the case of black people, poverty, like on The Wire. I am trying to overcome these biases because that's the way society is going but it's not easy. I usually switch off instead. There's only so many assaults to the amygdala one can take.

You forgot people who disagree with you.

You spelled it right (I'd only heard it, rather than read it), so I assume you already know.  If not, google it.

[Hand Shandy]

The female ex-footballers working on ITV and BBC as studio pundits have already proven themselves the equal of, and in many cases an improvement on, their male counterparts. Purely and simply by giving a shit and doing a bit of research so they actually know what they're talking about.

 

In terms of game commentators, yes it is different to hear a female voice describing the action, but if your argument is they lack top flight football experience I would ask who the fuck Tiddly, Pearce and the like ever played for?
