Lighthouse Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Couldn't we just give Gazza some MDMA and stick him in a room with an alligator for 15 minutes? Would be far more watchable at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Some poor sucker at the BBC obviously thought "That Gary Neville on Sky is good, i wish we had him.....oh wait a minute, he's got a brother....I know...."

Actually I quite liked the BBC's deadpan observations. The BBC tried to let the game speak for itself fairly well without ITV's over the top, cringely irritating 'listen to me, i'm the witty Lawro the Great with more of my clever cliche's.

It's There Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 I don't normally slate anyone, but he was terrible- whoever thought he could co-commentate needs to be well and truly challenged about this role!

John Boy Saint Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Strange really as I listened to him on the radio the other night and thought he came across well, can't say I noticed him last night. I guess I am so use to be sitting at SMS with some bellend spouting complete cobblers within earshot for 80 of 90 minutes, I guess my clap-trap-chit-chat filter must be getting quite refined.

I like ITV's amateurism -Wrighty dancing with the Argies. Hoddle/Poyet are also more insightful than any of the pundits on the Beeb. But the general quality is more consistent on the Beeb.

angelman Posted 15 June, 2014 Share Posted 15 June, 2014 Rather than a new thread............Jonathan Pearce is probably the best so far (even dragging along Keown). What I really hate is when commentators feel they have to say something rather than have a quiet period. When that happens, invariably they speak complete bullocks. Pearce tends to speak a lot lot less bullocks than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
