[Football] Dublin or Hartson?

[Is it PotG?]

Both been truly awful.



To compound matters, Hartson has had 2 nil eaches.

 

[Swansman]

Both decent at their peak but think they'd struggle for game time currently.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Dublin but only just. Both useless. Hartson just said (in the quite sublime Maroc vs Croatia football feast) 'you cannot win the World Cup in the first match can you?' I think he was asking the commentator for an answer? The man is totally boring and has the appeal of a monotonous presbyterian minister! Now Ally McCoist on the other hand at least gives something to the commentary and is well informed and, by contrast, funny.
ITV do shade it however, with not having to front Gary Lineker and Micah Richards. JEEZ THOSE TWO!!!

Hartson is dreadful. I do have a huge amount of respect for him though, given the medical struggles he went through.

 

[Normal Rob]

Dublin. Hartson really is as thick as mince.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Team Dublin here

The number of tinpot commentators and analysts that have gone on a jolly in Qatar is quite astounding.

Is neither an option?
It’s amazing that either have got the gig, there must be better out there. Or have both ITV and BBC gone for the budget options.

The budget option would be to have a panel watching the game in a studio back home.

ITV's coverage is so bad it almost justifies Martin Tyler and Alan Smith having a job.

Sounds good to me, it does seem an awful lot of effort to send these 2 out. A fair few must have declined the job offer.

With so many games, it must be quite hard for the broadcasters to keep it fresh. Keown was on last night, and he was f***ing dreadful too.
I've resorted to the tv on mute with music in the background

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Dublin is better than Hartson, however, that is like saying i'd rather eat shit with a knife and fork than with my bare hands. They are truly dreadful.

 

[KZNSeagull]

McCoist on now. Barrel scraping springs to mind.

 

[Berty23]

Not related to commentary but something positive about hartson. One of my best mates was coming through at Cov and there was a small crossover between hartson and Bellamy.

One day Bellamy gave it the biggun to academy lads playing pool at training base at Ryton and shoved all the balls in the pockets with his hands and said “first team here now we are playing” hartson saw this and made it quite clear to Bellamy not to behave like that or he answers to him.

Crap co-commentator but said to be a top bloke.

Where’s Warren Aspinall when you need him? At least you know that every player’s name will sound like an anagram - now that would be fun!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Shame Emma Hayes isn't doing this tournament. She was excellent in the euros

 

[Vin]

Both been truly awful.

Hartson said this game will be full of goals and he’s looking forward to getting excited. 0-0

 

[horshamite]

I find having sound off is best option.

 

[jcdenton08]

Dublin talks utter shit. Hartson has nothing to say. They both seem like decent people but I can’t stand listening to either of them. I find Dublin more annoying and Hartson is just a bit thick. I’d rather listen to Hartson as Dublin winds me up and Hartson I just sigh.
