with you
"not a penalty....not for me.."   the bloke took Ronaldo out....
"nothing there for me...just brushed him " ....  Ronaldo lucky to stay on, intentional use of the arm/ elbow off the ball


Its the ref who is having a mare though and the very concept of VAR is being jeopardised by this game alone...supposed to be virtually non intrusive ....absolute fking joke..


just glad that the Premier League have delayed its introduction...whole thing should be binned off....every time a player gets fouled or falls over they start the "Charade for TV signal"

I like Lawro myself. A good laugh, which is all part and parcel of it all. He is right about VAR as well - a total farce.

The authorities are being taken for a ride by the cheats.
The refs are not up to the job.
There are no English referees at the competition.
At least under Sep blather the corruption took the form of brown envelopes.
Complete farce FIFA. Get a grip. F
Don't have a problem with lawrenson, shearer , or linear.
FIFA are killing the game through incompetence or corruption. Don't know which.

I like Lawrenson.....he is fed up with all the play acting that is getting out of hand now.

I'm also a fan of VAR.....early days but we will get more correct decisions with it.

Not often I agree with you Hagrid but squarely behind you on this one, he is as outdated as is moustache, how he thought that was an ok challenge on Ronaldo defies belief. Even if he had lost the ball you cannot just kick a player up in the air.

To be honest only like Souness and Murphy with Shearer just ok of tv pundits so other than on commentary hardly ever bother listening to them.

What I don't understand is it is supposed to correct "clear and obvious errors".

The Spanish equaliser the linesman flagged it offside. It went upstairs and out came the slide ruler to allow it. It was so close that it could have gone either way. No way was it "a clear and obvious error".If he was clearly onside then fair enough but you have to say that the linesman can be forgiven for flagging it given how quick the ball was played and the player movement.

It's not very often I feel sorry for the linesman, but on this occasion I do.

In cricket they allow the umpire a certain amount of leeway in his decision on LBW's. If it is very tight then it stays with the umpire. Only if it is out by a clear amount does it get overruled. This is how I think it should work.

Love lawro when he's commenting on a game, says what he sees, doesn't mince his words calls a dive a dive a cheat a cheat, he's a breath of fresh air in a world of political commentry. He's also come out with my favourite line of the world cup so far when Hernández fell over the ball and rolled around for 10 minutes Lawro asked if he'd dislocated his shoe lace


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Mark Lawrenson has he gets older he does come across very sarcastic sometimes but he's not afraid to say what he thinks which is good.

The worst person for me is Sam Matterface ITV comm comes out with the most stupid facts absolutely awful.

Love the bones of the bloke just a pity he can't co-commentate or be a pundit on every World Cup game in place of some of the total self obsessed idiots both channels seem to have. Sick of that twit Shearer, Keane is so quiet and sulky he's obviously drunk off that he can't break any more legs and as for Bilic it's really switch off time when he appears, what a boring argumentative illegitimate

Punditry is supposed to give viewers an insight - maybe even enlightenment - as to why things happen in football.

Murphy's the best of a bad lot. As a footballer I thought Lawrenson was a class act, but as a pundit I think he's dreadful. It's like listening to the Leonard Cohen of football. I just want to slash my wrists before he even comes on now. Eniola Aluko, on the other hand, does her research, is articulate, and it's actually a pleasure listening to her comments about the game.

Await the inevitable barrage of red crosses!


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Mark is one of those blokes who you either think is boring with silly jokes or a funny man you would like to sit next to,

What annoys me about him is when he goes on and says" never a pen  he was not in control of the ball"


Well Kane was not in control of the ball when rugby tackle to the floor Mark,

BUT


It was a penalty all day long mate

I can put up with him more than some of the other pundits in the studio,

The ones I like the most are Danny Murphy and Keown who both talk the most sense,


Not sure about a woman commentating on a game though.

Murphy's as dour as Lawro, but 10% as amusing. In the studio, I like Ferdinand and Lampard. Shearer's much better than he used to be too (although that's not saying much)

ITV having 4 pundits sat there despite all the ad breaks just seems bonkers. Although when one of them is as pointless as Evra, maybe it makes a bit more sense.

I've never personally been bothered about who is on commentary or punditry. I'm watching football for the football not the accompanying audio. It does amuse me how enraged people get about them though. I enjoy the ramblings of miserable old illegitimates though so I don't mind the likes of Mark Lawrenson or Roy Keane.

Probably the most limited and unfunny "pundit" around.
Doesn't even understand the basic rules of the game & VAR baffles him.
A dinosaur in today's game but the BBC love him.
