I recorded the game and watched parts when I got home - Owen's bias was most clearly shown when McGeady made the second foul leading to him being sent off. Owen says "oh no"!

Yes. I never understand the similar classic "He's hit that well. Almost too well".
Sorry? How you can hit a ball too well?

I think the discussion amongst the standing-up long coat wearing people was that it was in no way a foul BUT if it's mistakenly given then it was in the box and a penalty.
The ref bottled it completely by upholding the linesman's better view but then making it a non-pivotal ruling. Funnily enough it was a piece of improvisation that seemed fair. He stumbled into a instance of intelligent refereeing that was utterly outside the laws of the game.

'Another classic Owenism from last night - "Nolan did everything right with that, he just overhit it".'
Reminds me of a classic from Seve when interviewed at the Open. Having chipped the ball into the long grass 25 yards behind the 18th green from about 80 yards with a good lie on the fairway he explained, 'I hit a good shot, but unfortunately caught it too well and it went through the green'.

I enjoyed how Owen defended their handball by saying his arm wasn't in an unnatural position despite it being above his head, then when a handball was given against Carroll after their keeper spilled a shot and it hit Carroll's hand which was by his side, Owen said it definitely was a hand ball!
For such a talent, his lack of footballing knowledge really lets him down.

And as for the experts after the match talking about the penalty incidents, am I watching a different game or something, as surely the Everton one was a blatant dive anyway, as he just ran towards Tomkins leg and flopped on the floor?
Oh well, fuck em all as we're in the next round.

Who was his co-commentator?
That cunt was just as bad, though maybe it was just him arse kissing to Owen.

When we beat City all he kept going on about when Sakho scored was how it was almost a brilliant save by Hart, no mention of what a great header it was from Diafra.
Never says anything original, boring and bias.

Bias or not. The bottom line is this boring cunt should be nowhere near a microphone. Just spouts monotone drivel.

At one stage while we were 1-0 up I was thinking he was showing a little bias but gradually he evened up. Mind you he is f*cking boring and very often wrong...
