[Football] ITV Comentary

[el punal]

Look, I'm probably an archetype of the wet lefty give-quiche-a-chance coningent, but when England are playing and it's being televised on English TV I expect a majority of those in the studio to be English or, failing that, not to have the majority in the studio rooting for the opposition. Do we not have BBC Scotland? Do we not have BBC Wales? As for ITV they can do one. ITV used to be regional; in fact I think we continue to be 'served' by TVS or somesuch, here in Kent. That's English, still, I would imagine. Unless it's been flogged to the Americans, but even so they still have a duty to serve the local people. So there is no excuse for all this delocalised flummery. For the golf, versus the Americans then by all means, have some French, Spanish and Jocks in the studio (we are on the same side in that, I gather). Otherwise, **** off. I don't want to be stuck in the away end when watching England on the telly. There, I said it. And....exhale.

Cheers Jocky!

I like this ITV combo at the moment. Unfortunately I didn't catch the main commentators name but (as mentioned before) Emma Hayes is on co comms. She knows her stuff.

Is this Sam Matterface with Ally McCoist in the France Switzerland game? Dreadful. Their laddish 'banter' is just so tiresome. Not funny, tired and lame..

It's worse than Tyldesley and Townsend.

Although it could actually be Tyldesley...

He is such a monumental prick.

I think Ally McCoist sounds like a poor Sean Connery impersonator....

Perhaps he can go and join Danny Mills on TalkSport?

Surely shome mishtake?

 

[Bodian]

Don't like their 'friendly' font either. I keep reading the 1 as 7.

 

[dangull]

I think the commentary has been very good tonight. There I said it.

 

[Munkfish]

I like Mcoist probably one of my favourites. Dixon is an utter twerp though.

Commentators are so bloody dense. Half the time they don't know the rules, they miss obvious things after multiple replays that I clearly saw in real time the first time.

They sit and watch the same feed we do, so they add no actual value by being at the ground (are they even there?). They only ever comment on what the screen shows.

Just now in the Spain game, the Spanish player commits a foul winning a header from a corner. The ref clearly indicates a foul, sees the keeper caught it, so waves play on as an advantage. The commentators talk about what a chance it was, and how the referee didn't give anything

How are they all so unbelievably thick?
