Keane in the studio and Giggs pitch side.......obvious choices for an England game.
It's been a trend for a few years. Townsend, Lawrenson, Keane etc. Paid on British TV then slag us off on Irish media at every opportunity.

Only ITV could spend a fortune on getting the best co-commentator in the game and shove him next to Dixon and Kean and use Hoddle instead.

I complained about that to my brother who's watching in a sports stadium in Hungary. He rightly commented that the Hungarian coverage (he doesn't speak Hungarian) makes more sense. ITV is appalling.

The only good thing about ITV coverage is that their HD and non-HD channels appear to be in sync, unlike the BBC equivalents. For the Sweden game I was watching the BBC HD Channel when an almighty roar went up from the pub across the road. About a second later the ball went in the net on my tellybox.

Hoddle seems to be the modern day Trevor Brooking when it comes to commentary.

Hoddle seems to be the modern day Trevor Brooking when it comes to commentary.

But you are overlooking his new catch phrase 'The Love Train' worth the admission just to hear that :censored:

We watched it sat at the back of a big outdoor bar in Mallorca, so couldn't actually hear the droll shite of Clive, Glenn and Lee Dixon.

Even when we were winning and playing well, so it wasn't a blame the messenger view, we loved it that we couldn't hear their tripe.
