ITV could do with putting GH on a buss to somewhere that isn't hosting a football match
I would add though that at least ITV haven't followed BT's champions league policy of having two co commentators and a commentator...does my head in listening to all three stating the bleeding obvious
I didn't say it was free did I.

Must admit, I never noticed that about BT, but you must be right.
I loved their CL coverage, with the brilliant footballing quartet of Lineker/Gerrard/Lampard/Rio, giving quality insight in the rest of the prog.

Studio great....2 twits co commentating gets a thumbs down
Agreed. But their Ashes coverage was very very poor.

ITV showed our WC Qualifier against Poland in 1973.
Being a bad loser and despising the Aussies at sport, I didn't watch one second. Can't stand Warner - in the Botham / Viv Richard's era, he would've been a snivelling coward.
Other than the one recent tour, with home advantage including wickets and the Kookabura, they always destroy us.
One of my earliest football memories. Was it live on TV, or highligts after?

On cable TV I saw the entire home game repeated a couple of years ago. England were brilliant, playing great passing football which ripped Poland apart time after time. Their famous goalie had the game of his life (and a lorry load of luck).

Credit where it's due. Neville and whoever is doing the commentary tonight have been good. As a health warning I'm death in one ear this evening but I'm sure the other one is ok.
2 minutes of programme, followed by 5 minutes of ads. Rinse and repeat for 45 minutes.
Yes I know they're commercial, but this is the biggest pisstake in their cheapskate history.

Watching the cricket until KO.
They'll probably repeat that pattern during the game too.

I actually think their punditry has improved considerably this time around. The BBC used to knock them out of the park when it came to pre and post match analysis, but having Neville and (surprisingly) Ian Wright have picked things up a fair bit.
I've quite liked Alex Scott on the BBC, but at least ITV have made up some ground from their usual abysmal effort. For every Hoddle, there's a Lawro or a Danny Murphy, so I'm calling it a draw.
(the coverage, I mean: obviously WERE LOOSE the football match because it's being shown on ITV).

Lawro is awful but I'd still take him and Pearce over the Clive and Glen "dream team". [emoji33]
