World Cup

Typo.......Argie.

He clearly dislikes them hugely listening to his commentary. Bitterness emitting from him for some reason.

How he continues to get a gig is incredible.

Horrible commentator.

Thought he was just rightly slagging off players like Di Maria and Higuain who were awful !

Felt gutted for Switzerland - so much hard work from them
 
Finishing. Thats been the hairline difference between the top sides and the near lies. Unlucky Swiss, denied by a post width. Dull Argentina move on though.

Would like to see USA win tonight.

Topped off with his "yeah right like the Argentinians never dive right" said in a manner that suggested his lip had just hit the floor.

He is a tit who puzzlingly as an Irishman gets awfully upset when England gets beat or their fiercest rivals do well.

He was dripping with dislike.Still he's always got the Germans to turn on next.
 
As long as it's not Savage , Andy Gray or Phil Neville im not that bothered - take more interest in the game and ignore the drivel from commentators

And I guess being born in Lancashire gives him the English connection

So are you saying he was wrong and that Argentinian players, unlike all other nationalities, don't dive.

Also his comments about their play tonight was pretty accurate, heavily dependent upon Messi with no real Plan B.

No not at all,I am simply saying the hatred towards the Argies from him you could almost taste.That and he's is a grade 'A' fud.
 
Not that keen on Lawrensons commentary myself tbh, in fact truth be told I can't bloody stand his commentary! :lol:

The dive for Switzerland's last free kick was shocking, when are FIFA going to retrospectively punish these cheats?

I hope America go through tonight (even though the boss has a fiver on Belgium getting to the final), but I've a feeling Belgium may edge them out.

FIFA had the chance to punish a diver a they bottled it - won't do anything despite Blatters claims

I'm liking the look of that Ogri player that we are buying
 
Lawrenson spends way too much time trying to be funny or ironic and fails miserably on both scores. If he concentrated on giving an "expert" opinion then he may just be bearable. Gary Neville should be the one to watch and see how it's done. To be fair Danny Murphy is making a decent fist of the USA v Belgium co commentator role

Accept it ain't going to happen and move on. it was suppose to be the thing they penalised in South Africa and it lasted a handful of group games at most. The referees don't seem to have the confidence in being able to enforce it. FIFA swept the plan to punish simulation under the carpet after the last WC and no one has the bottle to ensure its enforced. Never going to change any time soon. Accept it and let it go
 
Still very raw but strong and got a lot of pace - going to stay on loan at Lille for a year
Will first need to learn to run with his head up and show more awareness of the play around him.And with that miss (through his legs) he ain't no Robbie Fowler!
