Syrette Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Seen a lot of - mostly deserved - vitriol on these pages and elsewhere during Euro 2008, a lot of it aimed at poor old departing Motty. He's lost it a bit, given, but I'd take him over Clive 'I'm not biased, honest' Tyldesley and the cringe-tastic David Pleat any day of the week. In fact, apart from Steve Ryder I'd take the entire MOTD crew over anyone from ITV. Aside from that woman commentator but even she can provide the odd laugh.

Guest Phil K Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Away from Euro 2008, Both biased in favour of certain teams that happen to all wear red. Choosing between them is like saying which is a preferable death ? Boiled in lime flavoured oil or boiled in lemon flavoured oil ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I like having radio commentry with the football, 5live team are fantastic, some great commentators on there. It's often a bit behind which is a bit of an arse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, maybe it's too tiring to do radio commentry for a solid 45? I don't like Alan Green either RM, but there are some excellent commentators there, particularly John Murray and Peter Ingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 BBC obviously, but I generally prefer BBC mainly because of the pundits they have (Hansen,Shearer etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 BBC by a million miles, ITV is shite. Tildsley is the worst and most annoying commentator I have ever had the misfortune of hearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Alan Green's tiresome when he's waffling on about Liverpool but purely as a commentator, he's pretty good. I really enjoyed it the other night when they had him over the Turkey - Germany game, him and the other Irish bloke who was on are both good (anyone know his name?).

Ally Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 ITV commentary is ok and better than the dreadful banter Motson and Lawrenson have, but the constant adverts pre-match and at half time gets on my tits. BBC pundits are tons better. Did I see correctly the other day, btw, that ITV have total football coverage next season apart from MOTD? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No live games to cover for two years, and he can't be bothered with South Africa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 BBC any day of the week. Clive Tyldesley is such a fucking flowery twat and they've got Pleat and Allardyce as well... no HD either for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Colour? What's the word over there? Gaffers left? the word for what? Andy Gray isn't a main commentator as John Motson is. He's just the ex-player to sit alongside and give his opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
