Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

If a kid went missing in London I'd be straight knocking on Tuchel's door.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Which Irish commentator and what did they say?

I think he is talking about Jim Beglin who made a comment when Di Maria got sent off about the 'Latino temperament' and then about 5 mins later was making a grovelling apology.

Oh dear! Probably concerned about his contract going up in flames.

TBF, I wouldn't last more than a few minutes before being take of air for some comment or another.

Beglin sorry after Di Maria remark, 'will learn'

CBS commentator Jim Beglin apologized on-air after using the term "Latino temperament" in Tuesday's Champions League semifinals match.

Do people even listen to commentators still?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Chelsea to go through on away goals I reckon

 

[Goat]

Americans generally wet themselves over the Irish so I can see why they would hire the said commentator.
Nice to know that Americans never say or do anything to upset anyone.

Americans have cultural knowledge or something.

Thats why they shoot all the blacks and latinos.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

No, it isn’t.

We’re a civilised society and racist guff has no place here.

Didn't the Top Gear chumps actually get in trouble for slating Mexican's once?

They went to the tired stereotype of Mexicans being lazy and Offcom got involved

So yeah, he's full of cack

Only if they have the temerity to breathe though

 

[Johnniepk]

Is BT playing up do i launch the Tv?

 

[longers]

Was anyone actually offended by Beglins comment ? All I see on twitter is people questioning why he had to apologise, including plenty of latinos

 

[wm02]

Well looking back at it, do you think hiring an Irish commentator was a wise business decision by CBS Sports? I think not. If it was an American commentator, they'd have more cultural awareness and wouldn't be making the same disparaging comments.

Their studio analysts are Kate Abdo, Roberto Martinez, Carragher, and Micah Richards. It’s a car crash

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I would assume that the reason a lot of American TV channels want to hire European commentators is because they don't trust American's to do it right for whatever reason

That Taylor Twellman bloke seems to know his onions, make him the colour guy if Beglin keeps having stinkers

Worlds gone mad

First goal is massive tonight. Whichever team gets it will squeeze the life out of the game.

I seem to remember Abdo doing a solid job on Sky News
