It says it all about how bad the BeIN sports coverage is that I'd rather watch BT.

I know, there's times I wish there was an option for crowd atmosphere only with no commentary on BT Sports, otherwise you might as well watch it with the volume down - Darren Fletcher's voice in particular would just go right through you (like listening to Chris Moyles)! At least they had the sense to move Michael Owen out of the commentary box to the studio after a couple of season - he was even worse than Fletcher! And don't get me started on that toe-curling ad for their coverage in their 1st season which showed MO rehearsing commentary and then re-anacting his own goals when the fella training him popped out for a moment... That's why I watched last night's game on RTE. Not perfect either but better than BT. @Huntacha - Those 2 ex-Sky Sports gimps, messrs Keys & Gray still present the BeIn coverage don't they? I watched their build-up to an EPL game a couple of years ago when I first started using IPTV and quickly went over to a different stream! Absolute cringe watching those 2 talking sh*te to each other.

Ye they're on BeIN most days of the week. Hard to believe that they were considered ground-breaking in terms of football coverage in the early Sky era.If it wasn't for unreliable streams, I'd watch Sky, BT, or RTE.
There was a fantastic display of irony a couple of weeks ago when Carrie Brown (who does a lot of the pitchside stuff for them) became chairperson of the Football Writers Association, should have seen them congratulating her. It couldn't have been more awkward.

There’s a video doing the rounds of Stephen Warnock saying Red Star Belgrade are part-timers with plumbers in the squad. He was paid for that priceless information.

It seems he got that piece of “information” off one of those ‘football bible’ pages on Twitter, which proves even further how f*cking thick he is.

I watched it live even Jim White who is a complete moron was taken aback by that statement from Warnock

"I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," .... He said 'No-one speaks to me like that'.... and I said, "well I do' and that was that."

Ffs, I can't say I'm remotely surprised by those buffoons. The same channel a few years ago had some muppet reading out a load of tweets from different footballers when he came across one from a German player and said he wouldn't read out the hashtag at the end because it sounded a bit dodgy. The offending hashtag? Only #dieMannschaft. Now if he had done a bit of basic research (a Google search would have only taken a couple of seconds!), he would have found that 'mannschaft' is German for 'team'. And that's supposed to be a sports 'news' channel! Then again, as PM (iirc) once said, Sky News & Sky Sports News are merely broadcast versions of The S*n - that's really all you need to know about the levels of journalism they operate at.

I know it sounds dodgy and not exactly wholesome pre-watershed , but if your man was refusing to read it out loud, he could at least have added what it translates as instead of making it look like he had done no research whatsoever and that he was totally ignorant and couldn't be arsed doing any research...which probably explains why he was on the broadcast version of the S*n after all.

I’m actually struggling to remember when a pundit let fly with a comment, laced with a similar level of ignorance to this. The man was 10 when they won the European Cup.

Tim Cahill on Match of the Day. He might be actually making some good points, but he is unbelievably boring to listen to, it's hard to pay attention.

He's like the Aussie version of the priest with the boring voice from Father Ted. There's asteroids with more life.

And he had Jenas beside him calling the disallowed Villa goal one of the worst decisions he has ever seen in football . It's a golden age for sh*t punditry.
