He doesn't pause, or ehh or ohh or umm. He starts every answer immediately after being asked the question. It's almost like he knows what he's talking about. Imagine that!
I think he pauses a wee bit before answering. To make sure he gets it right. But aye, he comes across like he knows his shampoo.

He also does know his shampoo. :thumbsup:
He does pause. I said that completely wrong. What I meant is he stares at the interviewer for two seconds then says his answer perfectly. I suppose that's a pause. But he doesn't umm his way through interviews.

Was BR right to mention this?
I think he was and in any other country it would involve discussion,but here it will be seen as paranoia, nerves or nit picking.
No doubt they will ask Warbiurton what he thinks of BR saying this and that will be the gospel they will go with.

Calling them out and taking them on finishing by putting them in their place - It is superb. :rocker:

Agreed. He seems he may be the type of manager who takes everything head on without sweeping it under the carpet. If he is going to start challenging the media etc im more than happy with that.

I don't think there was much debate about the Forrester tackle. It was a straight red and he should have gone. Wouldn't take anyone long to come to that conclusion or many replays.

Gordon is a bit different as it's a goalie coming out of the box. Was the player running away from goal, should it have been yellow or red... I thought red, but yer man at the referees' convention said they all agreed it was a yellow. So what do I know? Added to that, he's a goalie under pressure and playing for his future (he's also done the exact same thing before before his confidence was supposedly shot to pieces - although I'm not sure if they mentioned that.

Sviatchenko shown 26 times? That's amazing. I guess there was debate over whether it was inside or outside the box, or started in and carried on, and if it's inside it's a yellow and outside it's a red (think that's right?). Still, though, 26 times seems pretty excessive. Wonder if that's a new world record.

They could also have had the debate over whether it was a foul at all (I agree with Chris Davies in that the guy was cute and played for it) and shown it another 20 times for that.

I think Brendy was quite shrewd there, heaping praise on the referee having a good game.

I never actually saw any of the game at the weekend simply because the foul was shown for every single possible angle 985 times on what appeared to be a continuous loop and when they didn't it show it - they spoke about it

The numbers are there in black and white, it can't be labelled paranoia by any reasonably minded person. BT should be pressed as to what their agenda is and if we don't get a response I'd be happy to see the club reduce our cooperation to the most basic level. Their coverage is a joke.

But if one incident is completely clear cut, and the entire planet - bar the referee - thinks it's a red you're not going to show the entire panel a replay of it again though are you? "This incident that we unanimously agree is a straight red, let's just watch the same replay again from the same angle just in case we don't come to the same conclusion" :cuckoo:

Those 26 replays of the Sviatchenko incident were just during the match, by the way, and don't include half-time or full-time analysis. An incredible number.

Ronny was good at staring too. Rescued Bitton's career.

There was unanimity between all the pundits that the Sviatchenko incident was a penalty. They then phoned Howard Webb and he also agreed, but they kept repeating it. Why?

BT Sport's MO is not to offer replays so that the viewers can better make their minds up. They are looking to create talking points - around some incidents only. :thumbsup:

Even if there was unanimity on Erik's - and I don't think there was - you could at least look at that and say :
1. It may or may not be covered by the rule change, so that makes it more worthy of discussion. If it's outside then it's still a red, but if it's a foul that continues in to the box (or takes place in the box) then the new rule is that it's a penalty and a yellow.
2. Some thought it was outside the box so a freekick
3. Others thought it was inside, so a penalty
4. Some thought it was a foul that started outside the box and continued inside so whether or not the new rule was relevant was worthy of discussion.
5. Others thought that the striker initiated contact - there was one distinct foul and not a continuous foul - and they then both fell over and ended up inside the box.

You can watch the same replay repeatedly to look for these different things. Was it inside or out. Was it even a foul at all, as the player had started to go to ground as he initiated contact. Was it the type of foul that starts outside and continues, or just a collision and a fall.

26 is a mental number, but there should 100% have been more replays of Erik's foul than Forrester's. For exactly the same reason, there's scores of pages on here arguing for lots of different things - we're miles apart from having unanimity on the issue.

Also they're always so quick to go to Howard Webb after an incident and use his punishment as some sort of vindication that that the wrong decision was made.

They went to Webb during the match on Wednesday and he confirmed Gordon's was not a red card. Something I personally dont agree with, but it was just sort of rubbished because it didn't fit their script at half time.
