For a while now i've kept up to date with current premier league scored by watching the live text on the BBC Sport site and i can no longer stand how biased the writers are towards Man U and against us.
Usually it's some dick called Jonathon Stevenson writing the text but he must have been at old trafford watching the game today so Paul Fletcher done it instead.
Here's some of the text from the Man U match today:
1846: PENALTY For Man Utd.
1847: GOAL Man Utd 1-2 Tottenham
Cristiano Ronaldo smashes the ball powerfully into the middle of the net. The spot kick is given after Michael Carrick goes down under a challenge from Gomes. Replays seem to suggest Gomes got the ball.
1849: I think it would be fair to say that Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is not in the least bit happy with the decision.
1850:
I have just seen another replay of the penalty decision. Can I change my mind? I'm not sure Gomes got any of the ball.
And then his response to a text from a liverpool fan:
From Tim, angry Liverpool fan, via text on 81111: "I'm furious with Spurs Paul. They got a lead and instead of continuing to press and making United uncomfortable, they get scared and just defend and sit deep, which is what United love."
He replies:
I largely agree with your analysis.
Though I am not that furious1926: Spectacular, truly spectacular - what a comeback from United as they scored five second-half goals to defeat Tottenham.
Lots of people are going to point to Howard Webb's decision to award United a penalty.I wonder why that might be you tool
Seems to me that one of two things happened here.
Either:
1. He saw the penalty decision and got it right by saying that it looked like Gomes got a bit of the ball but then changed his mind as HE realised that he didn't want a man u comeback to be remembered because of the wrong penalty decision.
OR
2.He saw the penalty decision was incorrect and stated so in his initial comment and then the BBC decided that he should change his mind to back up Man U and Howard Webb a bit and try to convince more people to talk about Man U's comeback rather than the wrong penalty decision.
This game, the same as many others this season, should be remembered as a game where Man U were looking down and out and got decisions from a crooked referee that built up their confidence and destroyed the other team's confidence enough to get them back into the game and take 3 points. But seeing as the BBC are all anti-Liverpool and/or pro-Man U they want these games to be remembered as the glorious comebacks and fighting performances from them that won them the league.
Just to add extra confirmation to my suspicions about the bent BBC, there's no mention of the turning point in the match report whatsoever. All it says is :
Two minutes later the Manchester arena erupted as Carrick, bursting into the box after a Ronaldo pass, nipped the ball around Gomes and was adjudged to have been brought down.
The Spurs were players incensed, but Howard Webb's decision was not going to change and the Portuguese calmly dispatched from the spot.Why on earth wouldn't they think of mentioning the shocking decision from Webb that clearly changed the game.
I could make a thread like this about the BBC every week but from now on I've got somewhere to post my consistent frustration at the BBC.
Does anyone else feel the same?
