I've got nothing against him and I have never ever listened to a match he called. I heard he is quite good at that, but I'm familiar with what he does on the radio (I listen to the podcasts) on 606 and I have to say I'm well and truly shocked at the way he sees football sometimes.
Just listened to the latest 606 (not a single QPR fan on air) and all he kept saying was: "Man Utd deserved to win today regardless of that call. It was offside. It should have been a free kick to QPR and Derry should have stayed on the pitch".
OK. Of course he's right in that second part of the sentence...but how can he say Man Utd deserved to win if the match only lasted 15 minutes until the ref made it impossible to analyze it properly?
Why did Man Utd deserve to win that game? Because they were 0-0 11 vs. 11? They had goals disallowed? Hit the posts three times? For all their early possession and threat, it was pretty much 0-0 as far as I know, wasn't it?
I mean...that game cannot possibly be analyzed without accepting it changed when the ref screwed things up.
And he says Utd deserved to win with such a sense of authority (and nobody questioned him on air) that it made me come here and do some catharsis with you.
There. I wish I had called from overseas and tell him this to his ear. |  | | |  |

Unlike you,I have listened to this idiot constantly rant over the airwaves for far too long.All he ever does is tell us what HE thinks has happened at a match,not what has actually happened.
When he gets together with Mark Lawrensen,I switch off,because they act like the chuckle brothers,telling each other schoolboy jokes.
I did listen to 606 last night,and I couldn't believe the Man Utd fan on there,saying that we all should accept the referee's decisions,whether they are right or wrong. |  | | |

Thanks. It puts things into perspective for me. That Man Utd fan was incredible! So easy to tell he is never on the wrong side of those refereeing decisions he thinks are part of the game.
The Wigan fan after him was probably the only one making any sense and he actually said it is easy to say refs' decisions are irrelevant when you're used to them going your way.
Why do I bother downloading that stuff? | | | |

Alan Green is not a great pundit. Known for favouring the big teams, particularly Liverpool.
The best 606 host was Danny Baker, but the BBC dumped him.

absolute twanny,Norn Iron born and bred yet refers to England as "US"when comentating.
Colin Murray another twanny and dont get me started on Eamon (I love Fergie but not as much as cake)Holmes.

spot on Can't stand the bloke. Whenever he's on it's "the Alan Green show" and not unbiased commentry and when he does 606 his lack of knowledge regarding any team outside the prem and his dismissal of those team's supporters is astounding. |  | | |

I like the way he moans at fans who dare to stand up in front of him at games. Fans who pay for their tickets unlike him. He seems to think the whole world revolves around him. Agree re the 606 thing, he basically doesn't let anyone else have an opinion. He also thought Joey Barton deserved to be sent off as "he's Joey Barton, his reputation goes before him." Oh, okay then |  | | |

Is it the commentators/presenters themselves or are they simply employees and sent out with an agenda based on editorial decisions though.
There's clearly too much bias for it simply to be the view point of anyone person (like Green - tool though he is).
There's a huge agenda from the FA and PL down clearly that they want Man United to continue to be a success for whatever reason, however good they are it's always tainted for me because they must benefit a minimum of 15 points a season more than anyone else for decisions going there way.
6 points guranteed by yesterday and the Fulham decision the other week, which was one of the most clear cut penalties with a ref in a perfect position not given I've ever seen.
Hughes was most generous yesterday in simply saying refs make too many big mistakes becasue there are so many that I think it's more than simply the referees/linos.
There is more to it in my opinion.
ONe things for sure I don't think QPR really "sit well" with the big wigs in FA/Premier League head quarters. |  | | |

Listened to some of the commentary of the Arse v Man Titty game on the way back from OT. Even during his drivel about that game he kept on mentioning the game at OT and how Man Ure deseved to win and would have won even without the penalty and Derry getting sent off.
I tried to get through to the phone in to ask him on what he based those comments or does he have psychic powers and knew how the game would have panned out.
Unfortunately due to constant loss of signal and there failure to answer phone calls didn't manage to get through. |  | | |

I listened to Alan Green and Mike Ingham when I was a kid, and I loved their commentary.
I like Green's passion and the fact that he gets emotionally involved - unlike other pundits, who feel they should yell.
His radio commentary used to be brilliant - and it's sad he doesn't do it anymore.

I think Mike Ingham's very good. Alan Green's "passion" is just a misguided assumption that people are interested in his opinion | | | |

I've said my piece about Alan Green in the past, so I won't dwell on it now, but I reserve criticism on BBC commentator Jonathan Pearce last night on MOTD. Did he make his commentary after the game? It would seem so. He was so biased towards Man Utd and lapping up their rear ends it was unbelievably bad, the worst I have heard on that sadly flagging show. ' Definate penalty', he declared as Young threw himself to the deck. Then he rambled on how Derry deserved to go off for his ? contact. It got worse as the highlights progressed.
I never cared too much for that shouty high pitched fool, I care even less for him now. What a bollox! |  |

He referred to the Chelsea manager as "Bobby De Matteo" the other week, as if they're best mates. Cringeworthy | | | |

Danny Baker is still on the bbc, does a weekly show on 5 live which is fantastic and on every weekday on BBC London.
As much as Alan Green annoys me he's right about yesterday, United did deserve to win the game, i'm not sure how anyone can suggest otherwise. |  | | |

'Deserving' to win it has nothing to do with it. Did we 'deserve' to beat Liverpool?
Are matches decided by the panel on The Moral Maze? |  | | |
| Alan Green on 15:27 - Apr 9 with 1720 views | daveB |
for me if you have more of the ball, batter the other team with shots on goal and chances you deserve to win the game as United did yesterday. I agree the first goal was an awful decsion by the ref and lino and it had an impact but we hadn't been out of our own half for more than a minute when it was 11 v 11 so i'm not sure we can justify saying the result would have been different or we deserved something from the game.

i never said it was ok to cheat us out of the game but come on did you really think we were showing any signs of winning that game? We defended well and had a good shape about us but United always looked like they could step up a gear when they needed to and finish us off. | | | |

Good grief we'd only been playing 15 minutes! Who knows what would have happened? | | | |

I think we all know what would have happened, United are a far better side than us and would have beaten us no matter what team we put out or if they cheated or not. It's gone now I think we should just move on from it and hope Derry wins his appeal which he probably won't. | | | |
| Alan Green on 15:47 - Apr 9 with 1683 views | daveB |
we're not Barcelona though, Fair play if you think we'd have won that game, i saw nothing to suggest that was going to happen and it looked from minute one like a damage limitation exerise by Rangers which was the right thing to do imo. | | | |
| Alan Green on 15:52 - Apr 9 with 818 views | daveB |
i couldn't see us getting anything from the game, they were just too strong for us, same as the home game. of course we can say we might have held on and got a 0-0 which was possible but I don't think we would have with our record of keeping clean sheets | | | |

QPR v Liverpool, 2-0 down after 75mins... Do you think we'd have won that game????
Port Vale, 4-1 with 5mins to go... same question???
QPR v Newcastle, 3-0 down at half time... same question???
So your claim that we'd have lost (or deserved to lose) anyway after only 15mins whilst still goalless is a nonsense!!

We can't have it both ways. It's true we don't know what would have happened without Derry's the sending off – but the probability, based on the play to that point, is we would have lost anyway.
Similarly we don't know what would have happened when Barton and Cissé picked up their red cards, at similar points in the game. But lots of people, based again on the play to that point, assumed we would have gone on to win because of the play to that point. But we could have bottled it with 11 on the pitch, just as we might have nicked a goal yesterday. | | | |

I take your point but there is a slight difference, both games were further in than 14mins. Also we were winning both of those games, hence the thinking that (worst case) we would've maintained those leads, but felt that with the way we were playing that we would've gone on to score more. If you're losing (as Norwich and Wolves were), then at some point you'll go for the equaliser which leaves you open to counter attacks etc...
Bit different at 0-0.
