Football Commentary

I have an idea.  Why do channels bother with boring commentators such as Martin 'pallbearer' Tyler and his ilk?

Far better just have the lads back in the studio discussing the game  I reckon with the live feed of the game simultaneously. Gives a much better insight than just the 'expert analysis' for 2 mins at half time then a break then a bit after the match. 

Have Souness, Andrews, Kerr and Tommy Presenter discussing it. Gives a 'watching it live with experts' or a  down the pub feel to it.   Get better interaction that way than just some boring commentator with an ex player co-commentator.

But who would shout AND ITS LIIIIIVE before the ad break before kick off?

Its become a catchphrase for him 

Souness on the analysis on virgin media at half time there kept refer to "our teams" and "our style" in Europe, talking about (presumably) English (maybe British generally) teams in Europe.

Eh yeah, except you're on Irish TV, you f**king gobsh*te.

At least he's British and played for English teams.

 

What excuse do Tommo and Anto down the pub have talking in their fake Scouse or Manc accents calling the players by their first name ?

 

This is exactly what should be offered by channels giving live coverage. It surely couldn't be that hard to have an option to turn George Hamilton or whoever off, but still get all the pitch side sounds.

99 percent of commentary now is poison. The constant need to talk is painful. They simply can't let there be dead air for any moment. Then you have the likes of Hamilton who confuses half a football team in every game ' and that's Mane on the ball now. He passes it to Mane out wide who takes on the full back. He pulls it back to Mane on the edge of the box and what a shot, off the bar!!' It's totally shameful at this point that lads like him are still getting paid for this level of work.

And the infamous Baggio brothers at USA94.
