obligatory Adrian Chiles & ITV coverage slagging thread

[nwgull]

This this this. Savage is the worst. Whenever he starts losing an argument on phone ins (which is often) he resorts to "listen, listen, have you ever played the game?"

I hate that. What's the point in having a bloody fans' phone in if all the opinions are completely invalidated by the fact the average fan has never played the game?!

Besides, he doesn't have a clue about what it feels like to shell out a load of money to travel a couple of hundred miles on a work night to watch your team play shite, so that pretty much invalidates his opinion on getting behind your team or otherwise.

Tosser.

Cameroon are absolute pish. It almost hurts me to see how rubbish Etoo is now, he might get a couple of goals yet but he is so immobile.

Good job we had the goal line tech on display there; I thought the ref and lino might have made another mistake.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Delighted to get the goal line technology confirm that was over. Was not too sure.

Further to all the above, I can't believe that Clark Carlisle appears to have firmly become a commentator.

Do we post our disdain for the BBC coverage in here or will someone start a separate thread for those bozo's?

Disdain seems to be being posted here, so a new thread would seem superfluous.

If someone wants to amend the title to include the Beeb Coverage too, then fill your boots. Gary cannot be worse than Chiles though.

Agreed about Gary, but there will be shirley something or some sleep inducing pundit that will need a good slagging off

Ferdinand only knows how to talk about Man Utd it seems.

Another one who should never have got near a job as a football pundit on the telly.

 

[Bladders]

Diego Costa looks mid 40's to me.

 

[The Wizard]

The Netherlands thugs are out in force again I see

 

[brakespear]

Busquets gets a dive in.

 

[The Wizard]

Nailed on pen that one.
