not much of a soccer watcher but imo if you're down for more than 3 seconds you should have to leave the field, because clearly you must be really hurt. that shit is pathetic

That actually is the rule k3vin, frequently described as 'ridiculous' on British TV

I knew Neuer wasn't really hurt because they didn't use the magic spray on him.

Are Mowbray and Lawro just bringing out the worst in each other? They're really being quite insufferable tonight, maybe even more than usual.

statler and waldorf would be a more positive commentary pairing than mowbray and lawrenson.

If you're down long enough for the physio to come on, you need to leave the pitch. British telly has never understood why.

TV here just showed a man with a taxidermy squirrel in the crowd. Why the squirrel?

Great game earlier. Perhaps Bren should visit the Krohn-Delhi to add some meat to the LFC attack. (not a real suggestion)
This match is shit.

I think Lawrenson's always this bad. It's like he thinks he's Terry Wogan at Eurovision.

yeah lawro/mowbray is the WORST (excepting alan green of course)

to be fair, based on his champions league form Gomez with the ball in the box is not an advantage.

Mowbray's really egging him on, though. It's not often I think I'd love to hear Graham Taylor commentating on this, but I really would. The cynicism here is numbing.

new orleans quip wasn't really a quip, university obligations are preventing me from going to new orleans! (where there happens to be a philosophy conference on.)
maybe i can adopt a posting style of crystalline factual positivism.

i don't know if there's any way to sound more effortlessly xenophobic than referring to e.g. 'france' as 'the french'.

I'm pretty much sighing any time someone tries a shot now. Wonder if it's the heat that's affecting them. Lahm particularly seems to be sweating like a pig.
