**** me he's an absolute cretin, of the highest order.
Insanely biased for the Scum, Man Sh!tty and Sunderland, for starters.
Continually seems to fail to understand even the most basic of football rules. I remember a while back he was still talking about "daylight" for an offside call.
Drove me absolutely apesh*t during the Palace match the other weekend. Particularly on the "Walker penalty incident". THis is the same "incident" where WALKER TURNS HIS BACK ON THE BALL, IS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE BALL, AND CAN'T SEE THE BALL, when it hits his arm. Walker's face was actually facing in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION to the ball when it quite clearly accidentally strikes his arm but, according to Quimm, that doesn't even matter as Walker clearly had eyes in the back of his head and had developed X-Men telephathic ability to know when to deliberately raise his arm at the right time, and in the exact place where the ball was passing him.
Every other highlights show, match report, analysis show did not, obviously, even spend 1 second on this "incident" - it's quite rightly been ignored!But nooo according to Quimm at the time, "Walker definitely knew what he was doing and this was a CAST IRON PENALTY. i thought he might see the error of his ways after more than one replay but nooo, he spent every single replay banging on about this same "stonewall penalty".
F*****g macaron, he should not be allowed to offer his opinion on footie!
