AsprillasShinPad Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Sky Sports showing replays of an incident when the game is in play, sometimes you can hear the crowd roar or groan or whatever, something is happening but they are too busy showing a replay, then quickly cut back to the game, but have missed it. And showing someone 'important' sitting in the crowd when the ball is in play. I hate that, and half the time it's replays of celebrations or players/managers' faces. f*** that s***, I want to see the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Have to be honest, I love the second reaction of the crowd when they watch the replay of a particularly amazing goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Not having VAR. I know it's fashionable to hate VAR, but it's ridiculous that a game changing decision like the handball on Saturday didn't result in a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not missing anything when they're showing goal replays like. Usually not. But when they're showing a slow mo replay of players celebrating and you can hear the croud reacting to something, my piss does boil a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Commentators/pundits saying a player has “Raw Pace”. It’s an over-used term and i’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean now that they all seem to be flinging it about in every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In my experience “Raw pace/power/athleticism” tends to be applied mostly to black or African players. Similar to basketball commentators over here use terms like “Scrappy,hustler, surprisingly athletic” to describe the whiteys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 This again. I'll ask the same question I ask every time. Who are the white players who should also be included in that description but aren't? I was going to bring it up the other day but thought better of it. In Iniesta's book a few of his friends describe him as a beast, which was one of the words that's apparently consigned to a single race according to the N-O theory.

Wullie Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Off the top of my head, Jesus Navas is a white player who I'd say had/has raw pace. Plenty of results for that term associated with him on Google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It an over-used term and i’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean now that they all seem to be flinging it about in every game. That they have speed but don't know how to use it effectively yet? Pretty sure that was the original meaning but it gets used all the time now about any player that gets to the ball before another player. “Shows some raw pace” “Raw pace got him there” It shouldn’t irritate me but it does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Owen Hargreaves does that as well, he sounds like he's constantly advertising a Ministry of Sound compilation. Neville's utterly woeful as a pundit though, pure aural contraception. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
