      Rarely-seen referee decision made in Liverpool vs Everton leaving TNT Sports commentators confused

      by

      TNT SPORTS commentators and fans alike were left bemused after the officials in the Merseyside derby made a rarely-seen decision. As the game was coming to a close the fourth official readied his board to indicate how much time would be added on.
      Officials in the Merseyside derby only added nine minutes of added time after initially indicating there would be ten
      But despite initially preparing to show ten minutes of additional time, Thomas Bramall seemed to change his mind.
      He changed the board and ultimately only added on nine minutes to the end of the second half.
      TNT Sports’ lead commentator Darren Fletcher couldn’t understand the decision and seemed puzzled as to how it had happened.
      But Everton fans may be glad that they didn’t have to endure more added time as Liverpool doubled their lead in the 97th minute.

      The Reds wound up 2-0 winners at Anfield thanks to a Mohamed Salah brace.
      And it was an action packed affair as would be expected from the historically feisty fixture.
      It lived up to its reputation for the most red cards in a Premier League fixture in history when Ashley Young was given his marching orders in the first half.
      Before Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the 75th minute from a Salah penalty.

      While Everton fans don’t have much to complain about with Young’s dismissal they have been left fuming with referee Craig Pawson’s decision not to send off Ibrahim Konate.
      The Liverpool centre-back escaped a second yellow card when he fouled Toffees striker Beto before being immediately hooked by a cautious Jurgen Klopp.
      Fans were quick to point what they felt was a huge mistake and one even went as far as saying that the game was rigged.

      Pickford’s cheat sheet could not help him save Mohamed Salah’s penalty
      Liverpool were awarded a spot-kick following a VAR review after the ball struck Michael Keane’s outstretched arm.
      As Salah lined up to take the penalty, Pickford could be seen picking up his water bottle.
      Once he had put it down, cameras zoomed in on the bottle, showing he had a breakdown of Liverpool’s penalty takers printed onto it.
      The cheat sheet appeared to show where the Reds players put their penalties and their success rate.

      However, it did not help the Toffees keeper as Salah sent him the wrong way to break the deadlock.
      In scoring, Salah notched his 200th career league goal as well as tallying his 28th goal contribution in his last 24 league appearances.
      Reacting to Pickford’s bottle on X, formerly Twitter, one fan joked: “Jordan Pickford had a bottle of Mo Salah’s penalty percentage and still didn’t save it.”
      Another Liverpool supporter wrote: “Looks like Pickford’s water bottle didn’t help.”

      Everton had defended well to frustrate their Merseyside rivals prior to the goal.
      Despite being reduced to 10 men before the interval as Ashley Young was shown a second yellow card.
      Pickford has previously used a penalty cheat sheet when facing spot-kicks for Everton.
      Eagle-eyed fans spotted a chart on his bottle back in May after he saved a penalty from James Maddison against Leicester.
      A similar breakdown of spot-kicks was also seen in 2021 during a match against West Ham. More

      I’m a TNT Sports fan-favourite… but only die-hard fans know I once starred in a movie alongside star of The Godfather

      by

      ALLY MCCOIST has cemented his place as a fan-favourite on TNT Sports. But only a few fans know McCoist was an actor in a movie alongside The Godfather star Robert Duvall.

      McCoist, 61, is now renowned for his co-commentary on football and analysis on radio.
      However, in the twilight of his playing career, McCoist starred in a little-known movie called A Shot at Glory which released in 2000.
      The plot of the film centres around manager Gordon McLeod, played by Duvall, who is struggling to get results with Scottish second division side Kilnockie FC.
      Under threat of moving the club to Dublin, Ireland by its American owner – played by Michael Keaton – the club attempt to reach their first ever Scottish Cup final.

      Star striker Jackie McQuillan, played by McCoist, is signed from Arsenal with a big but troublesome reputation.
      Ironically, the Rangers icon’s character in the film is an ex-Celtic legend who is also married to McLeod’s daughter.
      The movie has a 6.2/10 rating on IMDb, with one reviewer calling it “embarrassing” and another calling it “one of the better football movies”.
      Despite having not having a pro career in acting, Duvall insisted McCoist was a “natural actor” and highlighted his abilities when filming a sex scene while his then-wife, Allison, was present.

      When marking the 20th anniversary of the film, the 92-year-old said: “That guy McCoist he was a natural actor, a good natural actor.
      “He was very good even when he was doing a love scene and his real wife was right there on the set.
      “What about that? Doing a love scene with your wife watching. Oh my God, that sure was interesting.
      “He’s a great guy. I met Albert Finney and I mentioned I knew Ally McCoist and he said ‘Ally McCoist, sharp as a tack’.”
      Filming took place across several sites, including Dumbarton’s former ground Boghead Park and Hampden Park.
      Super Ally, as he was known by the Ibrox faithful, also admitted he would love to make a sequel.
      He said: “I loved it. I wouldn’t mind doing that again, to tell you the truth. I genuinely did enjoy it.
      “We had a great group of people doing it as well, it was fantastic fun. But I’m not sure I could manage that overhead kick in the quarter-final now.”
      McCoist was not the only notable name in the movie either, with former Bolton boss Owen Coyle having a cameo role in the movie.

      With the recent success of Ted Lasso, there may be more scope for future football-themed film and TV projects.
      So McCoist could yet make his grand return in front of the cameras.

      Woods, who made the switch to TNT Sports from talkSPORT, is a hit with followers due to her precise combination of relatability and professionalism.
      But the ace admits she never looks back at clips of herself on the box.
      Woods, who is dating Adam Collard, claims she “hates” watching herself on TV.
      That’s because she finds it “cringe and awkward”.

      And Woods reckons it was her radio spell at talkSPORT that helped her come out of her shell as a presenter.
      The ace told Aimee Fuller’s Monday Mile podcast: “I remember thinking ‘why do you want to be a presenter so much when you can’t read an auto-cue, you’ve got terrible memory, you’re not actually very confident at all’.
      “And when you watch yourself back on screen I couldn’t stand it at all.
      “I still can’t do it, I hate it. I find it really cringe and awkward. My voice sounds different, there’s loads of different things I don’t like.

      “I didn’t understand, I was like you don’t have any of the tools to be a presenter, so then I started going down a different route, it was more off the cuff.
      “I think that’s where I had my little breakthrough, I think that’s what works really well in TV and radio.
      “They don’t really want you to be a puppet or a version of somebody else. They want to know who you are because they want to trust you and get to know you.
      “I’ve really benefitted from that and I feel radio was massive for me. It gave me every opportunity to relax. You can’t be anyone other than yourself for four hours at 6am.” More

      “My older brother is a footballer. My father was a footballer, as was my uncle!”Brothers Alexis and Kevin Mac Allister talk facing each other and it appears football runs in their blood… 👀🎙️ @DannyJamieson pic.twitter.com/cd81Hi3DbX— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) October 5, 2023

      It was Argentina World Cup winner Alexis, 24, who claimed the bragging rights over his 25-year-old defensive sibling Kevin thanks to goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota.
      The beautiful game certainly runs deep in the family blood.
      The pair’s older brother Francis, 27, is also a professional footballer back home in Argentina and plays in midfield for Rosario Central.
      Their father Carlos, an ex-defender for Argentina and Boca Juniors, and uncle Carlos Patricio, a former forward at Estudiantes de La Plata, both enjoyed impressive careers.

      Meanwhile, their cousin Luciano Guaycochea, 31, is a striker for Malaysian outfit Perak.
      Despite the hard-fought contest out on the famous turf in front of the Kop yesterday, it was all-love afterwards as the brothers got together for a heartfelt post-match interview.
      Alexis, a £52m summer signing for Liverpool from Brighton, told TNT Sports: “It was really nice for the family, very emotional.
      “I’ve played against my older brother before but never against Kevin – it was special.

      “My dad was here too, he knows what it means, he cried a little bit.”
      Kevin added: “He was the reason I suffer today, but it was a very special moment.
      “Of course, Liverpool, maybe in the last match, come to Belgium and we can get revenge maybe.”

      When they were quizzed on whether they were going to swap shirts, Alexis joked: “I don’t know if he wants a shirt from another player!”
      And supporters seemed to absolutely love it after tuning in to the interview.
      “Family is indeed everything,” wrote one viewer on X, formerly known as Twitter.
      Another said: “The way they look at each other and respect each other…. True brotherhood.”
      “Wholesome,” declared another as another social media post read: “This is so refreshing to watch.” More
