I don't mind a woman commentator. They come with less baggage than the likes of Tyler or Tyldesly and tend not to try and make snidey remarks all the time.
Or a "BaCk In My DaY" commentator.

Again, McCoist and Champion are great for that - Jon ribs Ally the entire time for some random Rangers thing or two lol , McCoist usually is aware that the world has changed and it's not the 80s anymore and spends time praising/analysing equally for attack or defense.

They'll probably not get another game, right?
 
I would love a no commentary option when watching on TV

Instead how about pick your stand sound where its like actually being in a particular section of the ground and you can actually experience the atmosphere as live. Probably need an over 18 button but thats how I would love to watch a match on TV.

I might even tune into the oppositions supporters from time to time, especially if they are losing, just to listen to the fume/crying lol

I do like McQuoist as he's genuinely enthusiastic about football unlike say Sutton who seems peevish much of the time. I'll go instead if he doesn't want the gig.

Sutton has a media persona he has to deliver. Same as Savage. Its tedious and pointless. Basically football pundits on Love Island.

Mcoist has none of that. Genuine, and an experienced broadcaster.

Absolutely. Just the stadium noise.

Sky used to do that and it was a great way of avoiding the BS they come out with.
 
She’s a bit hit and miss, but I like her.

I don’t think Scott is too bad, I just think she’s been struck by the media brush, so now over exaggerates and over states pretty much everything.

Aluko and Carney just talk for filling time and nothing else, fair few men who are equally dour too.
I agree that Alex Scott is likeable but needs to adapt as a pundit. She does uptalk every time and seriously needs to modify her delivery as it comes accross as an annoying sales pitch or a presidential rant. Perhaps she is trying too hard.

Ally McCoist who is one of my favourite sports media personalities and is a good listen on most other things, has started to drive me crazy as a co-commentator. Verbal diarrhea is an understatement. Non-stop interactions with blame infested analysis of what seems every movement. Less talk is better, not more.
 
Martin Tyler has been pretty good during the Australian broadcasts. Like with the Euro final, it shocks me how you cannot detect a hint of bias/disappointment in his commentary when England is on the losing end.
