Why? Was there a donkey in the studio?
You should have tried the 5Live commentators. Didn't bother talking about Brighton at all pre-match, informed us that the game had kicked off but then didn't mention what was happening for the first four minutes. Then said they'd go through the teams but only ran through Hull's. Luckily, we could just about pick up Radio Sussex when they started talking about the Champions League.
Why do they bother putting on commentaries of games they're clearly not interested in?

Embarrassing that the commentator mentioned Calderon's sending off v Newport, but hadn't done his homework to know that it had been rescinded by the FA.

The general lack of research they'd done on us was embarrassingly amateur. So many ill-informed remarks about our players.

Thought that when it was said, Made Calderon sound like a dirty player when it was only half a story.

So people are saying that ITV football coverage is terrible? Remarkable.

Well, they did at least capture all three goals tonight. You can never take that for granted.
This was between numerous shots of a fat old egyption in the stands in the first half in particular whilst the game was going on. Which, given our performance, was actually something of a blessed relief.

Luckily ITV are being stripped of their club football. BBC get the FA Cup from next season and BT get the Champions League from the 15/16 season.
Just internationals left now, and its a matter of time before they lose them too.

My theory is that they cannot read the gold numbers on the back of striped shirts , and they can't say who is on the ball - so they say nothing about us

It was a terribly biased commentary. I got the impression that little, if no research had been done. I'm not convinced that either of the commentators had seen the original tie, either.
The gulf in class between BT Sports coverage and ITV's was massive. The difference is, BT Sport have only been doing it 6 months!

I quite like Sam Matterface as a commentator. He's excellent on the radio (TalkSport) as well.
Clark Carlisle was shite though.

I thought we tried to play decent football if we win our next three games I will have forgotten about what could have been.
Would have been nice if master Dunks effort had gone in. Well done the fans that travelled to Hull. I

I watched on a Russian stream. We were no better in Russian sadly.
I often choose a foreign commentary over ITV if I can get a good stream.

Surpassed themselves by suggesting that Obika should have been on earlier and that David Lopez was lucky to have been on the pitch for so long having created nothing. (Apart from the small matter of our goal.)
