The BBC and the Myth of Stevie G


Recommended Posts

BBC still peddling the myth that a Stevie G slip cost Liverpool the Chelsea game and the title in 2014. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47489368

As everyone who saw the incident knows it was Stevie's inability to control the ball that set up the goal. Falling over may have added a whole new level of slapstick but even if he had stayed upright the damage had been done. It's bizarre how keen the BBC are to stick to Stevie's version of events when it is so demonstrably false .  Having said that they also seem to think their coverage of Liverpool is neutral even when Alan Green is commentating.

Totally agree it is amazing how the conventional wisdom is now that he slipped but anyone with eyes can see that he mis-controlled an easy pass THEN slipped.
