Benji Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Some of the people we've been put through for 90 minutes has to make you question what the fk are these people paid for? We should just make it like a football game where there is a little box at the bottom saying who is in possession of the ball, that's the only use they have. Mick Mccarthy on the bbc sounds like an old drunk, no wonder sunderland always lost with him in the dressing room. Southgate, Pleat, Clive etc are all shocking on ITV Who was it yesterday at the italy USA game said AND IT'S THE EQUALISER when USA scored that offside goal that would have put them 2-1 up They were advertising the Australia brazil game today and said shane warne was on the show, the next 10 minutes was pun after pun after pun. ''USA have hit some rough at the minute'' etc, WTF? Mark Lawrenson is one of the few i like, he knows the game, speaks NORMAL english, and has a dry humour about him

It was in the sunday mail, that the bbc have paid out £250,000 for the commentators and presenters in top class hotels.
SystonFox Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 only problem with lawro is hes on cbeebies right now and he says merrrrrrrrmunt.
Head Honcho Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Whoever just done the Brazil game is a right Muppet
dandannieldanok Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Most of them are laughable especially the pair on the italy-usa game making out that it was world war 3! Plus i don't like motson-lawrenson partnership, one is obsessed with boring stats and the other is a wannabe sit-down comedian.
Cobbo Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Well if the Sunday Mail have spoken... We need commentators, but not plebby ones like McCarthy and Pleat
Matt Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Get Jon Barber out there I was gonna say that...Or we could always try and get Nev back
Phube Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 Well press the 'red button' and you can choose either BBC1 commentary, Five live commentary or none at all!!!
Bert Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 I'm watching it upstairs, and if i press the red buttom, the tv turns off
Libertine Posted 18 June 2006 Posted 18 June 2006 You can watch it on the BBC website. Quite a small player but it's good enough. Here Edit: It seems I've posted this in the wrong thread. But still, if you wish to watch the remainder of the France V South Korea game click the link.
Ultra Posted 20 June 2006 Posted 20 June 2006 Well press the 'red button' and you can choose either BBC1 commentary, Five live commentary or none at all!!! And many BBC viewers are very grateful for that choice! Does anyone else think Motson's past his sell-by date?
hairy Posted 21 June 2006 Posted 21 June 2006 ITV commentators really get on my nerves. They are so negative about things. They were even negative before we even kicked the ball last night! If I'm supporting my team the last thing I want is so arsehole up his own arsehole ripping into the team. If they are not playing well I can see it I dont need them going on about it!
Guest Gist Posted 21 June 2006 Posted 21 June 2006 I like the BBC commentators they seem to make a lot of sense IMO apart from the obvious uneeded phrases/statistics they sometimes use.
Libertine Posted 21 June 2006 Posted 21 June 2006 "Er..Incidentally Mark, Ronaldo last touched the purple stuffed worm in a flap-jaw space with the tuning fork in 1996. I need scissors! 61!" - Motty
Loake Posted 21 June 2006 Posted 21 June 2006 And many BBC viewers are very grateful for that choice! Does anyone else think Motson's past his sell-by date? I think he's well past it, doesn't really know what's going on most of the time. but some of the new ones should've given up before they started Mick Mcarthy is the most negative person person I can think of, they need to get it sorted!!
Daggers Posted 21 June 2006 Posted 21 June 2006 I find drinking large amounts of beer and shouting a lot obscures any noise coming from the commentators. At least that's what my neighbours say in my ASBO
Suffolk_fox Posted 25 June 2006 Posted 25 June 2006 I use the 'red button' commentary choice, though not because I don't like Motty - it's just that radio commentary is always going to be better as it needs to be more descriptive. I tried watching it with just crowd noise, but it just seemed strange! Even at a match, I will always have 'the fella next to me' commentating and offering his opinion!!
Ultra Posted 25 June 2006 Posted 25 June 2006 But the radio commentary is often no better. At times, it's even been below Radio Leicester standards!
Thracian Posted 25 June 2006 Posted 25 June 2006 I think he's well past it, doesn't really know what's going on most of the time. but some of the new ones should've given up before they started Mick Mcarthy is the most negative person person I can think of, they need to get it sorted!! Course Motson's past it!!! Commentators should be young and hungry
Swedging Posted 25 June 2006 Posted 25 June 2006 I tried watching it with just crowd noise, but it just seemed strange! Even at a match, I will always have 'the fella next to me' commentating and offering his opinion!! At least Motty has never said, "Jesus. Even I could have put that in." Despite being at least as fat and old as the loud git near me.
