Put TV on to watch the second half. The awful Karen Carney is co-commentator so tried watching with commentary on Radio 5. Not only is the TV ten seconds behind the radio but the even worse Clinton Morrison is co-commentator there! Might have to watch in silence
There is so much football on, I will turn the sound down especially last night's FA cup match when I was working on a writing project in front of the TV. I could see that Ellis Simms from KO, who I noticed at Everton as a talented young Prospect, was too good for Maidstone who must be pleased they don't face his standard in the NLS.
I don't have any issues with current main Commentators unlike many as it's a difficult art speaking live on football but I was one of the few who didn't like listening to John Motson doing commentaries but having a pint or two and talking football would've been great as he was an enthusiastic football geek like myself. That sounds a paradox but...
I have supported women's football since the Amateur days and Lucy Ward, Rachel F-B and Karen Carney have strong Yorky, Lancs, and Brummie accents but nae bother to me. Unfortunately because of my sensitive ear drums the main female commentator Robyn Cowen voice is painful when goals are scored ! My Wife screamed in our small kitchen last night when my son creped up on her when standing right next to me. It gave me a buzz but not in a nice way !
When Football has my full attention I need to know the Player's names as the days I knew every player in the old 1st division have long since gone and the pronunciation of the foreign names can be a challenge; a challenge for me at least.
Lewis Koumas, son of Jason, has just scored for Liverpool. Boy do they have some decent youngsters coming through. I hadn't realised until I just read it that Koumas Snr spent nine years at Liverpool until he left for Tranmere at the age of 18.

And Jayden Danns on his third appearance has scored the second
Joe Gomez has had a good game in midfield - broken play up well and his distribution has by no means limited to 10 yard square balls.
Although Ally McCoist keeps complaining about the lack of cover he's given the defence. To be honest, he's made Steve Brown sound "glass three quarters full" on tonight's co-comms.

Danns gets another. Liverpool win 3-0 and will face Man United in the QF
Wolves v Coventry Man U v Liverpool Chelsea v Leicester Man City v Newcastle
Hard to see past Wolves, Chelsea and City for the semi finals. The United game depends on what lineup Liverpool can put out.
If Liverpool do get through i wonder if we'll see the hot cold and balls brought out for the semi final draw so we get a chance of Klopp v Pep in Klopp's last game in English football.
Nice to see Leeds lose…5,000 (?) fans trek down to London and they play in PINK when there was no need to not play in white.
Teams have to wear away and third colours a certain amount of times per season i think.
Man City for example have worn their away kit at Bournemouth and Luton in the past week when they didn't need to. We didn't wear our red kit at Derby on Tuesday.
does seem to be more of these incidents involving fans.
is it "limbs" or just stupidity
There were a couple of near misses in our game at Reading, with the steep staircase to the top, and fans standing on the stairs. Someone nearly fell down the stairs, and that was a game in which there was little to celebrate...

Given 17 March is St Patrick’s day, surely the Man Utd v Liverpool game would have been the better choice for an early kick off or better still moved to a different day. 10k+ National Anthem booing scousers fuelled with alcohol on an Irish day of national celebration at a match that’s a tinder box in its own right is just asking for trouble.

What has St Patrick’s Day got to do with it? Liverpool are not a ‘Catholic’ club they were formed by Methodists
