Clinton Morrison. Absolutely useless on Soccer Saturday!
Random Irritations
- Thread starter Blue in Munich
- Start date
He has been on Fighting Talk a couple of times and was dreadful both times. He must have some good friends to be getting these gigs. Soccer Saturday is pretty brutal on quality control so hopefully he will be quickly sifted out.

If that is true how the hell us that drink driving blundering fool Merson still on it?
Morrison couldn't string a sentence together, couldn't watch and speak at the same time. Merson is a 'lad' on there but can follow the brief of what is needed. Sometimes patchily, no question, but on the whole he fits in with the rest of the team.
Like a few on there he is not to everyone's taste, Phil Thompson winds a lot of people up, but that is a separate issue.

People that have a massive bunch of keys hanging from their belt, and do not have a job as a prison officer.

Surely the whole point of them is that you just scan your phone on the entry barrier

Spent some time with Alan McInally this week and had a long chat with him about Soccer Saturday. He mentioned, and maybe just being selfish and protecting his own position, but the usual quota is a very tight knit group who work hard to try and do the best they can each week (even Merson). He felt sometimes with a new member, they all spend time keeping an eye on the newbie and knows sometimes as a result, their own performance on screen dips.

Jermaine Jenas. Talking on MOTD2 about Man U needing a consistent centre back pairing and how they've not had one for a few years but now they've got one with Maguire and Lindelof. It's the first game of the season. How can they be a consistent pairing after only one game?

He obviously means barring injuries those 2 will be the CB pairing for the foreseeable, no?

Possibly, but the way he seemed to be talking was in the past and present tense rather than future. Maybe I'm just being too harsh and should have stopped my random irritation after "Jermaine Jenas" as he annoys me every time I watch him.

I think you are, i quite like Jenas.

You are absolutely entitled to that opinion, but you're wrong.
No idea why I don't like Jenas as I don't dislike any of the clubs he played for during his career and he hasn't done anything in particular to annoy me, I just don't like him. Is his head too small for his body?

The modern tendency to distract the driver from what he/she should be looking at.

The stupid Green Party woman claiming there should be an all-party female-only cabinet to deal with the issues in the country because she claims women are better at sorting these things out. I am just trying to imagine the furore if someone claimed that there should not be any women involved because the men were better. She really needs to form an official alliance with that idiot leader of the Lib Dems - the two of them belong on Fantasy Island together because neither of them have a clue about reality.

Lazy journalism...
A report on BBC Breakfast this morning states that drug crime in the Surrey village of Westhumble has quadrupled......
From what to what? From 2 per year to 8 or from 1000 to 4000..?
Just saying it's quadrupled doesn't say much.
Also when a report says something along the lines of "there have been more than 100 instances of..."
Well how many is it?
101 or 10000....?
Find out the numbers and report them!

Sadly lazy journalism is a default position for the BBC in particular but also for a large number of other programmes and written press. There doesn't seem to be any meat on bones anymore. Is it a result of the "now" need for information on social media so they report the sketchy details and then never fill in the gaps. Is it lazy editorial direction. Is the standard of journalism getting poorer

To be fair it's not just the Beeb.
All media are the same.

Possibly a question of wording. He may have meant to say 'a pair of consistent centre backs'.
