Robbie Savage and other analysts

[Captain Sensible]

Iain Dowie is decent.

The ugly side of the game.

 

[Captain Sensible]

One of the Dublin based Seagulls mentioned on Twitter earlier today that they have...drum roll...Keith Andrews and <boooooooooooooo> Joey Barton doing their TV summarising.

Yes Barton is on tv3 in Ireland and has his own summarising show. Terrible

 

[Captain Sensible]

I like Lothar Matthäus, he's up for big time fun.

 

[Machiavelli]

Tony 'I'm not so sure' Pulis

Tony 'man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man, man-on-man' Pulis

 

[yxee]

Tony Pulis, so awful.

Criticise referees at every opportunity, telling players they should have done better, describing obvious events during replays.... adds nothing

 

[West Upper Seagull]

I'll see your David Pleat, and raise you Kevin Keegan.

I'll see your David Pleat & Kevin Keegan and raise you Graham Taylor !

 

[Beach Hut]

Danny Murphy very good and as stated Shearer has upped his game.

Pullis is a complete moron, good newbie has been Kompany, like him a lot and as a player spot on reading the game.

 

[Albumen]

Never been a fan of Savage but he's been fine this tournament I think.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'll see your David Pleat, and raise you Kevin Keegan.

I can remember (world cup 1970 I think) when they had Don (here's a pony to 'go easy') Revie and cigar chomping soppy hat wearing Palarse ****, Malcolm Allison, spouting utter bollock in the studio. And Paddy Crerand. And Derek Dougan. Just thinking about it is sapping my will to live

They all hated each other, didn't they? Basically, whatever anyone said, one of the others would say that it was bollocks.

 

[Mackenzie]

Stuart Pearce didn't seem particularly bright when summerising the Hungary/Iceland borefest. Repeating Hungary need to increase the tempo got a bit irritating after the fifteenth mention. Yes Stu, we get it.

Keegan was commenting on some Italian game at USA '94 for ITV, think it was Tassoti who right hooked a player and Keegan commented he had done nothing wrong, clueless beyond belief.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Remember Kev is from the days when it was a 'contact' sport.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Lothar Matthias sounds just like one of the pigs from Shrek, I couldn't take him seriously.

Yet you could have listened to a member of the womans side,whats next a Sunday five a side player

 

[W.C.]

Surprised myself that I've quite liked the punditry this tournament. Seems like even Shearer has realised he has to put some effort in. Wright is still poor though.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

They all hated each other, didn't they? Basically, whatever anyone said, one of the others would say that it was bollocks.

Funnily enough I remember that era of punditry with great affection. Whatever else it was, it wasn't bland. Must pop down to Specsavers and get my rose-tined glasses changed...................

 

[withdeanwombat]

Admit I've joined at the end of the discussion, but didn't I hear Savage say that one of the defenders loved his tackle?

It was Leanado[Brazil ] on Tab Ramos [USA] Ramos ended up with a fractured skull.

Commentating is difficult and it's important to avoid saying the obvious. That said, the goon who did the England v Wales game was dreadful. Silly conjectures and banalities throughout! Dan Walker I think but they didn't mention his name afterwards unsurprisingly.

Great tv though. Allison was pi$$ed a lot of the time. He took it into his club management. When he managed the Croydon Comedy Club he encouraged his players to drink lots of sparkling wine for their fitness.
