Even BT Sport couldn't bring themselves to defend that Albino Malteser
Sure, there's a moment where Ince imagines up a Boro penalty and Howard Webb pretends to play along for a second despite not having seen it but progress is progress.
That exchange is just baffling.
Ince: "Defining moment, that could be"
Host: "What, the penalty?"
Moron in the Middle: "The penalty, because United go straight up the other end and score."
Savage: "Well, United could have had a penalty five minutes before it, then."
Moron in the Middle:
"Yeah, but they didn't."
Savage: "They didn't get what Middlesbrough didn't get."
What does that even mean? Does Boro being denied a penalty - and one that is anything but the 'stonewaller' Ince claims it to be - warrant more of a reaction than the United one because United happened to score after Boro were denied? Isn't being denied what is actually a stonewaller more of a defining moment? Isn't having a perfectly good goal ruled out defining enough? What a wanker. I don't want to believe that they actually get paid to sit there and talk shit like that.
