Excellent call and managing of the situation by referee.
Excellent call and managing of the situation by referee.
One of the most moronic bits of commentary/summarising I have heard.
But the pundits aren't paid to be knowledgeable about the laws, they are paid to be entertaining an make fans happy. There doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence that the average TV viewer really wants a technical explanation. (We could digress into news, etc, as parallels, but perhaps best not to.)
You could also say they are paid to describe what they see
Imagine being blind, or this was a radio clip?
You would think the red is harsh...
most of these guys havent got a clueWorth bearing in mind, these are "experts" who get a wage (from license fee) to spout this dribble....
or to put another way, the pundit will not have been paid less than the match referee last night...
Same nonsense that excuses all abuse and dissent as 'passion' - except referees also perpetuate that garbage!!what a stupid bit of commentary. "Enthusiasm". What SFP doesn't include a bit of enthusiasm.
