Bellend commentators

Confirmed I think what we've all thought for some time. The referees don't officiate on what's actually happened, but on what they want to have happened. Also confirms the conscious versus unconscious bias argument (or cheating as I prefer to call it) for Clattenburg at least.

Unbelievable that he said those things, more than once, on air.
 
He could have just made an innocent mistake as he was looking through a crowded box from the other side of the pitch.

I generally root for incompetence rather than insidious reasons.

If that's in reply to the Clattenburg comments, you have the wrong end of the stick. He wasn't commenting on a particular decision (so no mis-viewing [if that's a word] it), he was suggesting that the referee gave a couple of free kicks to the home side in order to quieten a crowd that was getting riled. The suggestion was that they needn't be warranted but were to diffuse the situation.

That's not incompetence, that's choosing to give the home side a decision regardless of what is really warranted. He suggested the referee 'cheat'.

Nope I was talking about giving us offside from the corner against Newcastle.
 
Lumes currently rivalling Martin Keown for most rhetorical "Isn't it's" in 30 minutes.
 
There’s plenty of evidence of that out there, some of it very recently. For some reason someone in a high place at the BBC has chosen to ignore all of it.

I can't see him lasting long as the BBC are going through a rough time as it is
