BBC Football coverage, list problems here

Hard to tell what he despises more - football or being alive

'Brighton beat Leicester in seven-goal thriller'

A seven-goal thriller is 4-3 you tossers, this is canon

Idk there is a certain intrigue to watching a team desperately chasing a fifth so as not to have won 4-2, which as I will elucidate in the coming paragraphs is the most embarrassing scoreline to wi

fair fucks

It was mostly a battering though for real

One less problem, one less member of the Liverpool FC mafia and one less jaded miserable git sucking all the joy out of whatever game he's commenting on.

Mark Lawrenson was sacked by the BBC because he was a 65 year old white man... who travelled the world to commentate on the greatest fixtures in sport but did it in the style of a performance art piece about a miserable depressive hermit utterly consumed by a hated of football.

Some aspects of BBC soccer coverage have worsened over time. I'm not convinced that Lawro going is part of that, though.

Greatest Lawro moment anyone? For me it's a game early in the 2018 world cup, where a French player was down injured, and our man witheringly diagnosed a 'dislocated shoelace'

:(
