[Football] Mark Lawreson

[Weststander]

I once sold Lawro cigarettes, and apart from Chippy and Wardy and Bobby Smith is the only Albion player I have ever spoken to. On the whole I like him, especially after people on here cleared up my misconception about his latterday antipathy towards The Albion. He's always funny, sardonic and waspish on the telly and radio. Alright, he may not always have a clue about what's going on, but neither do I. By comparison, Danny Murphy, more cuddly though he may be, tends to state the bleedin obvious in tedious detail too often for more liking.

He loves the Albion and tipped us to stay up long before the 2017/18 run in.

Has great knowledge of the game ,played at the very top level and one of the finest players to wear the blue and white stripes. Thats enough for me!

Probably just about THE finest to wear them in my opinion.

He was also painfully annoying last night, literally willing Ronaldo to score. I like many people in this country hate him intensely and there was a clear bias towards him in the commentary.

Hate?

 

[Is it PotG?]

There are many worse than Lawro. Hoddle for one.

 

[AmexRuislip]

We've got a month of him and Gary Neville to look forward to.
What a time to be alive!

 

[Return of the Rev]

Never forgive him for extending his garage tbh.

 

[jonnyrovers]

He despairs with the modern game. By modern game I mean a general acceptance of cheating and a culture of lording up great players with a habit of cheating. Old blokes like Lawro fancy simpler times. I have no beef with him.

Hate?

I think after the winking incident and him just simply playing for man United. He’s just so smug and arrogant, and wouldn’t you just love to see someone like El-Abd or Greer just clean him out and the ref wave play on.

I am astonished that our pedant hasn't been on yet...

Hate is a very strong word. I hope l don't hate anyone.

He just riles me, hate may be a strong word for Ronaldo but I find myself increasingly made irritated by his performances

I was also willing Ronaldo to score. I like watching pure class at the top of its game. Not against us, of course, but I never said that. Where is your joie de vivre?

That was an absolute master class from him last night. Ronaldo was almost playing Spain on his own, he virtually carries Portugal single handed.

It’s why I like lawro’s commentary it’s cynical and kind of says it how it is. In the France game he moaned about the French diving a lot because it takes away from the football and the tactics. The whole Ronaldo hype just doesn’t really excite me, a last minute winner in a goal mouth scramble is what does it for me. I appreciate he’s a good player and is world class, but him behaving like a child when it doesn’t go his way just puts me off when compared to Messi, Salah and Greizmann. The wink also, the bloody wink.

Apologies, I misread and thought you hated Lawrenson.

I know what you mean about CR.

Fair enough. I can feel your pain. Personally I got over that a long time ago, though.

I Should have really, but the first tournaments I remember watching as a child were the 2004 Euros and 2006 World Cup so literally the first anger really in the world of football I experienced had Ronaldo at the centre of the scene and I guess I never got over that, I should do really.

It was more irritation towards Danny Murphy’s biased commentary in favour of Ronny.

Speaks like he absolutely despises football.
