Jayson Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Campbell will end up at a side like Hull, while Rooney curls them in with superb technique all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Listening to savage is painful It really is, he's much like Mark Bright - a former footballer who was bang average, whining on about the performances of players on another level entirely to him. Seems to be quite a few co-commentators who have never got anywhere near a World Cup. Savage, Carlisle, Hartson, Joey Barton and don't think Murphy's been to one either. Thought there would be better choices Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 England mathematically out of the tournament if Costa Rica wins this? Yes, as Costa Rica will have 6, Italy and Uruguay with 3 and still to play each other. Uruguay v Italy match. Italy likely to join England in being eliminated too.

r0cafella Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Can't we have a Co commentator who isn't rooted in the didn't work hard enough mentality? Id much rather listen to seedorf or Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like us then Well aye, but to a significantly larger audience. No, there is a big difference tbf. I'm only winding you up. It's a tone of voice thing in some ways, like when Savage says "if you're marking Suarez, you have to be staying goal side of him when the ball comes over" - which may be true, but the way Savage would say it, is like he personally did it himself 100 times before.

Yup, just like Bright. Condescending as owt, even more given how much a tosspot Savage was when he played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know what you mean. Tbh I can't think of many co-commentators that are much cop at all - Gray used to be alright before he started believing his own hype, Gary Neville's canny, then suddenly I'm struggling. Alan Smith is probably the best of the rest that I can think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's a tough fucking job tbh, you're never going to please everyone if you're commentating for one of the mainsteam broadcasters on a regular basis. Eventually, they'll stick you alongside some cunt who talks absolute cliche-driven twaddle, and to maintain any credibility you'll have to bring his idiotic views to the ground with a tirade which would get you sacked You can have decent knowledge, a bit of charisma and a bit of humility though. Would like to see Lineker commentate actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Might find some Costa Ricans in the Premier League next season. Especially as they can be bought at a fraction of the price and turn up when it matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
