I was listening to the Manchester United Match today online for their game between Lille during the Champions league.
The Manchester United commentator repeatedly called Lille a disgrace to the game, to the country they are from, France, and that they should be thrown out of the competition.
Lets look at the history between these two teams. Last year, Lille beat Manchester United in the last game of the group phase to deny ManUSA a place in the last 16 and alot of money, about 15 million GBP.
This guy has been bashing this team since the start of the game, giving them no respect at all. Excuse me sir, but just because you are a sore loser and you were clearly dominated last year doesn't mean you have to put down a team.
The comments came after ManUSA got a free kick and took it early, which shouldnt have been allowed based on how the ref was conducting the proceedings after the foul. To make a long story short Man U scored to take a 0-1 lead and a vital away goal.
The next few minutes saw Lille players and managers and fans furious with the events that occured, and some of the Lille players left the field in protest of such a stupid call.
The commentator couldnt stop whining about how Lille should be kicked out of the champions league before the second leg of the tie. For goodness sake dude, are you that afraid of this team again? Yes the Lille players may have been wrong, but that call will probably cost them a place in the quarter-finals, or at least a fair chance of getting one. They have a mountain to climb now. And for some stupid idiot commentator to be calling for expulsions and other punishments is just as wrong as what Lille did.
I've listened to many other commentaries of games, Liverpool being one, and Inter Milan being another as well as Arsenal and Chelsea ones. Never have i heard such disrespect given to another team. Never have i heard one of these other commentators put down another team for a blatant bad call. In fact most other commentators will agree with the other teams, opposite to theirs, if there is a bad call. At the end its still a game with rules, and most people can see the obvious, well everyone but this stupid MANC.
If there are any punishments after this game, it should be given to this Man united commentator, for providing a unfair and unjust representation of what was a great game.
Oh and one other tidbit of info, he didnt say a word when the Man United fans were getting tear-gassed for being utter fools. And i rest my case.

What is even more stupid now is today Manchester United Football Club is asking fans that were at the game to email in their complaints as a sort of petition against Lille.
WTF!! The Manchester United fans where the ones getting tear-gassed because of their ignorant behavior. How can this be? United keeper Van der Sar was complaining about the gas that was coming from attempts to quell his own fans foolishness.
Wow, good job United, you look like idiots and play like ones, and then pounce on any chance to try and get Lille knocked out from the tourney before the next game. Why are United so afraid of Lille?
Thanks for that objective commentary. I realize now how foolish it was for me to be a Man U supporter. Not!!!!!!!!
Get out your words now little man. Saturday you will be choking on them.
