I can see a pattern there. Most of the commentators I know are working for decades. The sad thing is, there's little to no quality control at tv and they seem to put up with so called household names like Tyler or Champion for ages simply because most of the fans are so used to them, instead of making some periodic assesments and giving a chance to some new voices, possibly more professional ones. 

 

What grates my nerves the most is the big club bias most of the English commentators seem to have (not all, to be fair!). It's something unprecedented for me because in Poland and most of the Eastern Europe people in general (and that includes the commentators and pundits across all media) tend to cheer for the underdog and are more restrained in praise for the obvious favourite/big club. So during the same game you can hear the Polish commentators giving Leicester heaps of praise for standing up to the big club and players showing the character, while on the English stream they barely get a mention, and it's all about how beautiful the football ManCity/ Spuds/ Chelski are playing is. Maybe that's a cultural thing or something, I have no idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's an old boys' network which allows mediocrity to persist. Not only in football.

Racist remarks now at Rudiger apparantly - Spurs fans gone full Neanderthal.

How many black players are in the Tottenham team as well? No doubt shouting racist abuse at one black player and cheering on another which just shows how ridiculous the whole concept of racism really is.

 

Depressing stuff.

Racist abuse if a decent sized group should lead to stand closures

Stadium ban for three games would be fitting. That and an immediate stop to the current game and it forfeited by the offending team. (Only if it’s a sizeable group though of course)
