Ally McCoist mocked as legendary co-pundit makes blunder during Liverpool clash

Ally McCoist has been mocked online after he made a repeated blunder during the FA Cup clash between Liverpool and Cardiff.

McCoist, 59, was on co-commentary duty for ITV Sport alongside Sam Matterface at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side eased into the fifth round having established a 3-0 lead in the second half, but did concede with 10 minutes to go as 19-year-old Rubin Colwill netted for the Championship outfit.

It was a well taken finish which flew past Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher thanks to the large amount of backswing he had put into the shot.

But McCoist was adamant the "secret" to the goal was that there wasn't any backswing involved.

Fans jumped on his comments, with one tweeting: "I really like Ally McCoist’s commentary, but he just said 'no backswing' about four times, whilst we watched a clip of a goal where the scorer took a massive backswing!"

"Ally Mccoist – no backswing. There was mate," corrected a bemused viewer.

Another cried: "What is McCoist watching?! 'No backswing' he’s literally back heeled his a*** lining that up."

"7 replays showing backswing. McCoist continuing with the no backswing comments," added one supporter.

And a sarcastic social media user said: "Just checking, was there any backswing for the goal? McCoist wasn’t quite clear in his commentary."

McCoist has commentated for quite some time but became a fan favourite during the 2018 World Cup when working alongside Jon Champion.

He was picked up by Amazon Prime Video for their coverage of the Premier League and has continued to impress.

He had another line which went down better with the audience during Liverpool's match.

As Kelleher rushed miles out of his goal and mis-timed a challenge in the opening 45, the Scot said: "I don't know what he's thinking. His geography is all over the place. Misses the ball and catches him."

McCoist's comment about the returning Harvey Elliot having been "in the gymnasium" also had fans in stitches online.
