The beloved cast of Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday reunited recently, but one former colleague was conspicuously absent. Jeff Stelling, the show’s longtime host, and other regulars like Alan McInally, Tony Cottee, and Phil Thompson gathered for a meal and drinks. However, ex-QPR and England striker Rodney Marsh, who was sacked from the show in 2005, noticed the reunion on social media and expressed his dismay at not being invited.
Andre Onana should have been sent off during Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry, according to Jeff Stelling. Onana was booked during normal time and picked up an additional yellow during the penalty shootout, but according to the laws of the game, yellow cards picked up during the game are reset during a shootout. Stelling believes that Onana should have been shown a second yellow card for time-wasting after he went behind his goal and took a swig of water. Despite United ultimately reaching the FA Cup final, it’s hard not to feel they did so in an embarrassing fashion.
Former Rangers legend Ally McCoist has dismissed comments made by Jeff Stelling, claiming that Scottish football fans do not care about the opinions of English supporters. McCoist’s response comes after Stelling suggested that English fans are not interested in the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers due to the frequency of their meetings.
