[Football] Clive Tyldesley axed by ITV after 28 years

[Bakero]

Shame on him for being a middle aged white man. Who is replacing him Alex Scott?

I know middle-aged lasts longer these days but 69 is pushing it

 

[crodonilson]

It probably is time for Tyldesley to move on as I really am not interested in hearing any more about 'that night' Man Utd won the Champions league in 1999

'That balmy night in Barcelona' is how he usually refers to it. Massive United fan.

Will be sorely missed, I do sometimes pine for the Tyldesley/Townsend commentary double act.

What ITV is saying is: "not for me, Clive"

Said no one, ever.

He's slipped into the Lawrenson role ("I don't know why I'm here and I certainly don't want to be here") with absolute ease

I was about to post exactly this.

He has taken up Lawro's cynical and world-weary role with aplomb. Seems like he might be genuinely depressed.

Final commentary, Germany vs Denmark, this weekend, after being informed by ITV his contract would not be renewed after 28 years.

Call me sentimental, but with new lead commentator Sam Matterface clearly with age on his side, surely they could have done the decent thing and let Clive finish with the final?

I appreciate nothing lasts forever, but given his years of service finishing on the Round of 16 seems a tad harsh?

Who cares.?

If you were born and bred in Bumley, you'd be depressed too.

Dixon’s always been demoralising.

Dixon is used over here for NBC's coverage of Premier League matches; he is sometimes used as a solitary "colour" commentator or in a three with Graeme Le Saux alongside the main commentator.

I enjoy Dixon - dry, funny, self-deprecating - and when he's alongside Le Saux they work off each other extremely well.

The worst of the worst for being biased towards Man united.

I'm in my 50s and I still manage it, provided you both get into a comfortable position at the start.

I've seen US coverage of PL games. I really like it, especially their post match analysis stuff. Very detailed, last for ages, legends of the PL round the sofa.

Perhaps ITV and England is a glum mix mid match? Thank heavens for Keane and Wright.

 

[Cornwallboy]

Quite. And Alex Scott isn't even a commentator.

Does an arse I have on ignore not know the difference between a commentator and a pundit?

Mate I know you can't read this as I'm on 'ignore' but it really is awfully boring you constantly telling us you have people on ignore, makes you look very pompous and childish. Did you used to take your ball home when you weren't winning at football. Instead of 'ignoring' people why not engage in debate with them?

 

[Badger]

I have a horrible feeling he's going to end up on the international coverage of The Premier League, alongside Peter Drury and Andy Townsend. It's where terrible commentators go to retire.

What a snob!! Love to see you walk into a working mans club in Burnley and say that!! They'd probably amongst other things shove your copy of the Guardian up your ar*e.

 

[Gabbiano]

Fact of the matter is it's all part of the BBC's woke agenda, which has led ITV to make this decision.

Next thing you know they'll only be airing black lesbian disabled refugee ball, and then you'll all be sorry! Wonder what Lineker Starmer the Guardian Carol Vorderman has to say about that!

He's got a gig in a sitcom with Gail from Corra called 'The Tyldesleys' now they've both been sacked.

Also covering Champions League in USA with CBS. Made himself available to Sky but they chose Peter Drury when Martin 'and it's live!' Tyler retired.

Tyldesley confirms new job after leaving ITV and being rejected by Sky Sports

Legendary commentator Clive Tyldesley called his last ever match for ITV Sport last week at Euro 2024 - but he's already been signed up for a new gig covering the Champions League

We still have Peter "massive hyperbole" Drury and Martin "and it's liiiive" Tyler on the Premier League coverage on Fubo.

And Andy f***ing Townsend too.
