I quite like Blackmore's coverage but I think he is hampered by his summariser, Tessem. His contributions leave a void in the commentary. A really good player but not a media person.

Bazunu's stance is fine up to a point. He talks about innocent people being killed and most people would applaud his action. He declined to mention, however, the innocent people who were killed when Hamas launched their October 7th attack. Stand up for your principles,by all means, but don't ignore both sides of the argument.

Possibly the same idiots I encountered in the East Stand years ago. Not all of them were kids, quite a few old enough to know better and setting a poor example.

Stephens at fault for two if not three of their goals. Collect your pension and take Edozie with you.

The Times today says 'There has been no similar case involving an individual in English football'. Didn't Bielsa at Leeds do something very similar a few years ago?

Inside right.

I see Hassan Kachloul is a a summariser on BBC TV and radio world cup coverage.

Not sure he'd be welcome. The Beano was a quality publication whereas the Mail... You decide.

I said on another post that the likely path is as much of the corporate world. Punish the innocent, reward the guilty and deputy heads will roll.

I don't know if it has been posted elsewhere, but BBC Sport now reporting the FA are investigating. I'm sure the internal investigation will punish the innocent, reward the guilty and deputy heads will roll.

There will be no apology or comment until the appeal has concluded.

Unlikely to see anything until the appeal has finished.

There's a lot on here about the severity of the club's punishment and comparisons with other club's misdemeanours. However, I've seen nothing about Saints breaking the 11th commandment; "thou shalt not get caught". I'm sure similar things happen across the football world; they just haven't been caught.

On the whole, it was a trouble free day. I met plenty of Mancs on the train and in the pub before the match. It was all very good natured tinged with a bit of natural rivalry. Yes, there were some idiots who'd had too much alcohol or marching powder or both, but both sets of supporters had a good day out.

The commentary I had said after the second goal, Bazunu won't want to see that again. Weak hands. Sound familiar?
