It annoys me no end that the commentators insist on calling him Izzy Brown every time he touches the ball why can't they just call him Brown, they use the surname only of the other 23 players.

Never noticed this before. Just watching Reading vs Fulham and the commentators says "Tylor Blackett". Is this because he is black and the surname may be offensive to anyone if said on its own, just like Izzy Brown??

Mooy over rated?! Best centre mid in the championship this season IMO.

Every game I watched him in he looked in a different league to everyone around him. Had so much time on the ball, a real class act and absolutely ran the show against us at their place.

He looked decent in this league until Hogg got injured and he was completely exposed and unable to cope without him.
Also worthy of note that as much as you thought he ran the show against us: he was entirely culpable tor Tomer's goal.

No. It's just coincidence.

WTF? So calling someone Black or Brown when that is their surname could be offensive? What about Walter White?
