obligatory Adrian Chiles & ITV coverage slagging thread

[The Wizard]

So much for the atmosphere.....all I hear is light murmurings and stupid horns that should be BANNED.

 

[Weststander]

Obviously ad's are ITV's income, but they've really upped the ante with relentless p*ss-taking 5 minutes blocks of ad's.
I simply never watch them - channel surfing to anything else, and tune back in later.

At least ITV got rid of ex-journeyman player & bore Robbie Earle a few years back. He could only improve after Earle ... it has, just about.

Ivica Olic is Gary Hart's identical twin - looks the same, runs the same, and has the same boundless energy - love him

Was just thinking the same... And Neymar reminds me of a Brazilian Ashley Barnes - or maybe I'm just not over his departure yet.

 

[nwgull]

Seconded. I like him - he says it as it is. There's far worse (is it Chapman? can't remember his first name).

Thirded. He's a genuine fan and the sort of bloke I reckon would be a laugh to have a few pints with.

Why is Joe Harts dad in goal for Croatia ?

good shout!! Better than Hart though?

 

[Dan Aitch]

ITV's 'analysis' is a disgrace compared to Sky's technical and cerebral coverage.
Ian Wright is too thick to be a TV presenter.
The Nike ads are already getting on my tits.
Every time there's an ad break I think of Jonathan Pryce.

When is this World Cup over?

I can't wait to go to Lewes.

But that's one of my favourite films

scolari waving the imaginary card. ********.

 

[The Wizard]

Diving & card waving, just what I like to see.

 

[atfc village]

Oh my face Marcelo

 

[nwgull]

Mexican wave when there's a close game of football going on?

 

[The Wizard]

Did you see that from Neymar? How many rolls was that?

Nobody has yet mentioned how FIFA are able to sanction such matches of inter-galactic importance being officiated by a mere 4 officials. Where are the fifth and sixth guys trying to look keen with the mysterious dildo shaped equipment, that makes the Champions League so beautifully controlled ? Is it also worth a bet that the goal-line technology will never be required at any stage during this World Cup ?

Don't know, but I do like that spray paint for the free kicks.

 

[brakespear]

not a penalty.

 

[The Wizard]

Unbelievable from the referee. Disgusting dive.

 

[MissGull]

[atfc village]

Homer ref suprise.

 

[Seasidesage]

Shocking decision

 

[Worthingite]

Blatent slip, the ref couldn't point to the spot quick enough!!!!
