Enda Brady doesn't have much choice because he's been embedded in Russia for the tournament. Tonight's performances from Diana Magnay, David Bowden and Dermot Murnaghan have been unacceptably jingoistic.It's a fucking news channel FFS. As I said last week, do these cretins not realise that Sky News UK is broadcast to the rest of the world as Sky News International? Fair Play to both Tom McLeod and Niall Paterson on Sunday for talking about the papers through visibly gritted teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Gabby Logan is really doing my nut in. her fawning interviews are dry boak inducing. Also, not once has she described England as a home nation, she was tripping over herself during Commonwealth games to describe Scotland as such.

George Saint Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 A lot of what gets written in the papers or spoken about on the radio, is utter garbage. It comes down to the fact that they have to write and say something, even when there's nothing sensible to add to what has already been said. Consequently, they end up going around in circles and repeating things, or they get drawn into making emotion-driven statements that are stupid when you analyse them. One popular theme nowadays is to constantly bang on about great team spirit, whenever a team wins a match. It was like that with Iceland and Wales in the last Euros, and now it's England that supposedly has this amazing team spirit, driving us on to success. It's such a load of bullshit. Funny how Iceland's amazing team spirit and organisation suddenly wasn't being talked about in the next round, when they got papped 5-2 by France. Or how Wales' amazing team spirit from the Euros, suddenly gets forgotten about when they fail to qualify for this World Cup. When Henderson missed his penalty against Colombia, I bet nobody in the media would have put their money where their mouth is and backed England's team spirit to win through.

hoofitharder Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 At work i am the only one who goes near a football stadium and it is killing me how everyone is talking about how great WE are. I dont think any of them could name more than a couple of Englands players. I have been wearing a Scotland hat but even so folk have been asking me if i think football is coming home. But what has had me looking for a gun is yesterday i guy asked if i was going to watch the Belgium France game i said yes he then asked a guy who is doing some painting for the firm and the painter fella said no but i will be watching Britain tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
