Surprised surprised? Shaka is always so dumb, agrees to whatever any panel says or steal their comments and says it's his. I don't rate his analysis at all and this is why the host always gets his analysis last from the crew
Hi slop follow Craig opinion yesterday. So he cannot flip flop today.
KALULAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😆😆
Phones should not be allowed on the bench
Lukaku is at work….his work has cctv cameras lol
Some one from Liverpool talking about being disrespectful lol the irony
I agree with Stevie it is just wrong
Makes you wonder if Shaka’s children show people respect…
I have no issue if he can come on and score a hat trick in 30 minutes…..But for the RESPECT of the Game, no one should have access to their gadgets during regulation time. IMO
Dan wanted a drama since yesterday and today he got it.
I agree with Steve not right
My genuine question is is it actually allowed for players to bring cellphones to the bench across all competitions?
Stevie and Frank are like old daddies.
I am from Northern Ireland, and David Healy (Northern Ireland) currently holds record for most goals in Euro qualifications, but why take Lukaku off? He could've been the Belgian to score 6 and 14+ goals. 2 records on 1 night.
Everyone knows that the cameras are on you, even back when players get caught eating a hotdog or something
Lukaku is something else I swear. Everytime he seems to be in a good place and finally getting respect he then just does something that reverses all that goodwill. He just can't help himself and his timing when it comes to terrible decisions is admirable in a weird way. Like having an interview just after signing for a record fee, talking about how he misses his former club😂.
I get why some people don't see why it was wrong for him to bring a phone onto the bench in the midst of a game he played. A number of people out there aren't used to working in a structured environment or are probably still in school so things like proper work etiquette are alien to them. This is just poor etiquette by Lukaku and for anyone who might think this is standard behaviour especially at this level, it really isn't.
It’s pretty simple really, wait until you are in the locker room to go on your phone.
100 percent unprofessional. Disrespectful and arrogant.
It’s not a problem and the camera captured him in that just moment he responds to a text
thanks Frank
Well said Stevie 👏🏻 👌🏻 👍🏻
Well said Frank 👏🏻 👌🏻 👍🏻
Stevie anad Frank are spot on – you can't stay off the phone for 90 minutes?
He's watching Stevie on espn fc
Stevie is right cause what if this weekend we see all subs on they phone while the game is going on then we have a big problem it’s should be stopped now
Maybe Lukaku was Googling the opposition teams strength and weakness😂
It's called Respect !. I agree with Stevie and Frank…Another example is, if you are 6 or 7 goals up and start all the party tricks on the pitch. That's disrespecting your opponent.
something about lukaku just seems to get under the two scotmen's skin. I'm not jumping to conclusions, but they're definitely not objective.
Maybe he was checking the game stats 👀
What if Lukaku was watching Ball Control tutorials on YouTube? Would it still be so wrong? Relax Stevie and Frank, it's a just another mode of communication
Leave the lad alone 😂😂😂 Stevie 😂😂
Years ago that would have been the equivalent of holding up a newspaper. Absolutely disgraceful.
my man..that's why lukaku is where he is
Wow they have nothing to talk about anymore
And this is exactly why Shaka was a trash goalkeeper. Never mind that he's always on holiday too. Stevie and Frank played at a very high level so they see how wrong this is unlike lazy mediocre Shaka.
It's just rude.
Its not as if is really bothered about Belgium anyway.
I don’t see anything wrong with this I bet he wasn’t the only one on his phone
It'd be so much more respectful if he was sat there staring off into space bored af am I right? Nothing triggers a boomer like a phone.
I Agree with Stevie but i agree with shaka 😂
Oh please, the game is done and dusted, he scored 4 goals for the team.
1000% with Stevie and Frank, Hislop is an idiot !!!!!
media wont ream him for fear of the hashtag movement
To Stevie Nicol I say, know your place & shut your mouth you r*cist white old man. Yeah, lets not talk about Lukaku's 4 goals, instead lets talk about him being on the phone when for all practical purposes he was done for the day & him supposedly being disrespectful.
What difference would it have made to the game had he NOT used his phone? This old man and his r*cist ESPN associates (lets call it like it is, ESPN is from the USA so of course it's gonna be r*cist).
An absolute disgrace to the game. Lukaku did nothing wrong. So keep crying.
This panel of r*cism is an example of the fact that these old, washed up hasbeens still think dis the 1990s or something.
Stfu old man, Lukaku doesn't care what you have to say. Neither do his "disrespected" teammates so know your place and shut your mouth.
of course Stevie has a problem with it 😂🥱
