Danny Murphy - Brainless?

[judge]

Whether we agree with Niasse's two game ban for simulation or not the least I would expect is some kind of consistency/intelligence from the 'expert pundits'. However, DM felt that the ban was appropriate as Niasse 'exaggerated the contact to earn a penalty'. However, on last night's MOTD he felt that the challenge on Deli Ali merited a penalty because 'there was contact, even if he (Ali) made the most of it'. I don't even think that it's a Tottenham bias, I just think that he's genuinely stupid. The problem is that the powers that be seem to be influenced by his opinion (and that of Shearer and co).
Sorry to bang on about an old subject but the hypocrisy and double standards really p****s me off!

The worst pundit on TV/radio. Talks like he's just got out of bed.

 

[degsy]

Trouble is there's dafter than him on the box

 

[rochdaleblue]

Even worse how did zaha get away with that dive? Not only is there inconsistencies by refs on the pitch, but evidently by the panel adjudicating on these matters.

Murphy is one of the pool of ex players,that sits on the panel that decides whether a player dived or not.

Now that is really brainless !

If Skelator had a son, it`d look like Danny Murphy.

I just press the mute button and laugh at his ugly koppite face when he comes on TV, works for me!!

Hopefully Santa brings him a bag of coal for Christmas



And then someone sets fire to said coal and burns his house down

 

[mightymoyes]

these pundits are hired for their stupidity, thats a fact. the reason is it gets people talking just like this thread.

 

[Milkman]

Cannot stand him. His punditry is about the level you would expect from someone that looks like they should present Sunday Brunch.

It was quite bizarre.

The authorities need to look at that volte face and fire Murphy from the Diving Pool as the man is clearly clueless on the issue.

 

[Khalekan]

Moving on from Murphy’s stupidity, anyone see Shearer’s face when Lineker brought up the subject of deliberately kicking other players in the head?

I thought he was going to smack Lineker for a minute

 

[Minimeister]

John Hartson's co-commentary on BT was brilliant. Couldn't understand why any of the Burnley fans wouldn't be happy with the penalty and if they'd seen it on a monitor like he had they would think it was a penalty.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Typical Kopite double standards to suit themselves, he's not thick, well only in the fact he's a RSlol

 

[Moomin]

Niasse dived, he got caught.

Get

Over

It

I can't remember exactly but a couple or so weeks ago he was talking about an incident on MOTD (i think possibly a "handball" incident for a penalty) when he started to channel his inner Andy Townsend and claiming that he didn't care what the rules said.

Yep, a man who has to give his opinion on whether a player breaks the rules to determine if that player gets banned was on national TV claiming he doesn't actually care what the rules say.

Complete and utter tit.
