MOTD V Palace

[Deulofeumygod]

Bbc originally said two goals for doucoure and then gana scored with a nutmeg.

I havnt watched motd in over a year. Just no point.

Grrr some football pundits didn’t have the same opinions as me, everyone hates us, etc etc

Do people still watch Match of the Day?


Footballorgin.com watch the whole game back and do your own analysis instead

Not watched MOTD for about 2 years and I feel much calmer.
I watch what I want on YouTube and don’t suffer the crap ‘pundits’.

From what was a decent game; can't help but feel the review was absolutely shocking even from the usual standards

Eze penalty shout should never have happened and also missed out a few second yellows after his dive.

But even Linekar made out he was hard down by despite being the neutral host.

I thought there was contact and it was a pen
Think we got away with one tbh

Wasn't MOTD but a pet peeve on mine is commentators mistaking a black player for another and just...carrying on like they didn't make that mistake.

The guy on Optus mistook Doucoure for Young when he got booked, he somehow also forgot about that booking later when saying that a Palace player was the first booking of the game. They already have nothing interesting to say the least they could do is be accurate.

That happens at least twice a week and is very annoying that they don't correct themselves

 

[Toffeepot]

He was a massive idiot and it wasn’t just a black player thing, he also said ‘Calvert Lewin!’ as Mykolenko was running off celebrating his goal and then corrected himself which is an incredible mistake to make. So I guess I’m doing him a favour as being a moron is better than being a racist.

Tbf there is probably a fear of being called a racist that might contribute to them not drawing attention to when they get it wrong. Seems they'd rather settle for being disrespectful which is still worse than being a moron

Do you draw lines when on the TV when there's a possible hand offside?

no I look at what I think happened. Is it against some code to suggest we got lucky or what?

If he's winding up that kind of person may he long continue.

Also if you think MOTD us bad, better not look at Garth's team of the week where he puts two of our players in just to give us a backhanded slap.

Can we stop with this? On saturday, I saw someone from about 50 yards away that looked like someone I knew...as I got closer it turned out it wasn't him.

I wasn't required to be giving a stream of consciousness narrative, so didn't have to correct myself.

Commentators often attribute things to the wrong player. It happens all of the time. Sometimes it is not easily visible who it was and they use what they can see.

All different kinds of players have things misattributed. It literally doesn't matter.

If your job was to comment on who you think that person is as you approach and you get it wrong when millions are listening, then yeah, you should correct yourself. Mistakes happen. Correct them when it's your only job at that time. The problem is they usually don't correct themselves when they mistake Black players, and the co-commentators don't either. Often there is a tangible uncomfortable silence as a result. That is the issue, not being wrong, but deliberate avoidance of correcting themselves.

You are asserting without evidence that the players skin colour changes their behaviour and then imputing a motive. Would be nice if you had evidence other than your feelings, which are clearly biased.

The 'evidence' is that it is noticeable, and that's it. I'm not going to compile a montage of examples just to prove to you that there is a pattern there. This is not a court of law and they are not on trial. I am not biased, I am observant, and I watch a lot of football. I replied to other posters' comments that highlighted this occurrence, because they obviously noticed it too. If you don't notice it, then fine.
I would say there is a problem with acknowledging the mistakes because there is a mistaken belief in society that mistaking one person of a different race with another is of the same race is racist, but it is not. The reality is we can tell subtle differences among our own race better than among others due to generational familiarity.
Their motive appears to be embarrassment. Their job is to narrate the match, including the players. If they make a mistake, correct it. It is more respectful to do so, than attributing actions, good or bad, to the wrong person.
Take from that what you will
