That's the Austrian version of wolfs'. I think spurs can or at least should come away with a clean sheet. If not, they are needing a rebuild.

Tazio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I think all the criticism has stung Gareth Bale. An assist and a peach of a goal so far. And good touches and passing all round so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I always find it amazing to see how many different difficult techniques and tricks Erik Lamela has come up with to make sure that under no circumstances his right foot ever comes into contact with the ball.

Tazio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Somebody needs to give Cregan a wee cuddle, he’s heartbroken in Antwerp. He seems genuinely baffled why there is injury time beyond the 4 minutes. It’s quite simple really, a Rangers player was injured and had the physio on the pitch. I’d expect a commentator to have a vague understanding of how time added on works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graygo Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Some amount of greeting from the commentary team. If that's for Rangers it would have been - definite contact - entitled to go down etc. Against them it's a ridiculous decision and exaggerated contact. GIRFUY.

Tazio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) So how many times in commentary every game do we hear “he felt the contact, he had the right to go down”? He felt a foot contact with his ankle so by their usual standards he had the right to go down. I’m not saying it’s right but it’s “cute” if a British based player does it.

givememychoice Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 There was clear contact. Was the reaction exaggerated? Sure, but that's not a crime. See aribo rolling about a minute before. And I have just replayed it. At the point of the penalty award, there was still 40 seconds to play taking into account the VAR check for the first goal, the injury and the substitution.

Tazio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I’m actually disgusted at the BT Rangers coverage in terms of the pundits. On the Spurs game earlier they had Jermaine Jenas and Glenn Hoddle, both self confessed Spurs fans, who were neutral and objective in their commentary and match summary. This Rangers staffing isn’t even trying to give any credit to Antwerp or attempting to be neutral. Edited February 18, 2021 by Tazio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
