    He made a disgraceful comment during the replay of the Arsenal equaliser saying that a Liverpool player should have "taken a yellow card and brought down Walcott" - it's one thing for fans in the stand to say things like that but for a commentator on TV it is a disgrace.

    Email to ITV Sport I think

    I'm not certain as i've slept since, but I thought it may have been Jim Beglin.

    That would be the ex-Liverpool player Jim Beglin.

    Did think it was a daft thing to say, but it was a commentator from an ex football player, so he is thinking like he played, he was the sort of player that would do that.

    Think the main commentator suggested

    One of the Arsenal players should have gone down rather than cut the ball back becauase he would have got a penalty
