If I have to ever listen to Jim fucking Beglin again, Iāll be very upset! ![]()
Carragher has forced his way to the top of the list.
You get used to him and he just becomes a noise in the background
Carragher is like the annoying squeak you have on your car when on a long journey.
I have to take your word on that and can imagine it, as I donāt recall him on commentary in NZ, we nearly always get Beglin, who just kept going on about how well they were defending blah blah blah, does my head in,
The idea of the game, last I heard, is to outscore your opposition
Carragher was spouting same shite then came out with a pearl saying they were causing us issues on the break.
Yep load of shite they only broke twice and nothing came of either.
From the Essentail Everton post earlier⦠I never listen to Sky so canāt confirm it myself⦠but if it is true and others here heard him utter the phrase.. then yes, the author has made a good point for having Carragher removed from TV screens
Jamie Carragher on Sky Super Sunday, once again during commentary, called a player ābrain deadā. This is the latest in a long list of times he has used this awful phrase. Iām not one for over reacting, but I really feel strongly over this dreadful choice of words. In a world full of severe brain related football injures and life changing illnesses, this, to me, should surely be unacceptable. If the likes of Andy Gray got sacked for saying āI wouldnāt touch her with yoursā then this is far more serious statement. He needs removing from our screens.
There are plenty of reasons why Iād like Carragher removed from our screens but this isnāt one of them. A quiet word maybe to point out the expression isnāt really apt. āIām not one for over-reactingā said the Evertonian. No, of course youāre not.
I am not a spring chicken but I probably would use that phrase as it is something from my youth and up bringing, there is no ill intent just means they arenāt the sharpest tool in the box or one of many other phrases that people use.
For me and I might be in the minority but it is getting offended for offended sake, yes I might be an old dinosaur, but it is what I am.
If truth be told Iām not really getting that.
And Keys and Gray were on it all the time, it wasnāt just one incident.
Heās made a valid point that a phrase which is commonly used to describe someone who has switched off mentally, probably shouldnāt be used in this context. That should really apply to all commentators, but hardly a sacking offence.
Maybe they could use the Glaswegian phrase ānumptyā which has the same meaning but without the baggage?
Speaking as a registered Numpty, I find it offensive and triggering when itās used in a sports broadcast context.
Numpty is such a great word, especially when preceded by āyer gurt bigā
Nicol again auditioning for Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz
Steve Nicol has again slammed Florian Wirtz as his quiet start to his #LFC career continues and thinks Arne Slot should bench the German.
"If we were going to talk about one player who is disappointed the most, I think weād have to say, if ever a player was brought in to break down a game, this was it today⦠and that, Iām afraid, is Wirtzās job.
"Thatās what he was brought in to do. And today (against Burnley), just again, he couldnāt do it, and he hasnāt done it yet since heās come to the club now. The fact that Liverpool wins again probably means that Arne Slot can keep pushing Florian Wirtz in the starting XI and keep giving him time, hoping that his true form is going to come out.
"There has to be a point where you do bench them. You could try and play him on the left. I mean, there has to come a point where Arne Slot has to decide whether Florian has to sit (on the bench)⦠If thatās the best thing for the team, then again, thatās why he gets paid the big bucks.
āYou have to make tough decisions regardless of whether you paid Ā£116 million for somebody or not, if theyāre not producing. Then you have to make a decision, and that canāt be that far away, quite honestly.ā
What they expect Wirtz to do.. score and assist every single game?
Itās like people want him to fail and just want to find something to criticize about us, where there isnāt to, this early in the season. Sadly for them, Arne and lot of fans can see how heās still influential & even if heās not, many know that its fcking 4 games into the season. They expect us to be impatient like other clubs wanting instant success from our players in 5 games and start questioning and throw tantrums everywhere if we donāt see the āstatsā.
Thats the thing though the longer it goes on without him registering a goal or assist the more pressure he is under.
Yeah Nicol youāve said his ātrueā form.
Said before I bet he shines in Europe more than in the PL at the beginning of his time here.
