World Cup Commentators

[Martin Alvito]

Some folks on here have not discovered the 'mute' button on the tele remotes.

The problem is that I don't know when to look when I'm working on something else.

A man, trying to do 2 things at once, even when prompted?

Give it up mate, you know it never ends well.

It's lovely. I got a whole thousand first-rate words out of an athletic event once, dividing my attention like that.

Like, I wanted to watch, but it would...not...stop.

 

[Dancing Pat]

Absolutely. Just the stadium noise.

Sky used to do that and it was a great way of avoiding the BS they come out with.

Amazon Prime offer just the stadium noise as an option on their Prem games

That's right yeah. It's definitley a great option.

Too many women involved in this world cup, every time I switch it on I don't know who they are. Where are the knowledgeable middle aged men who have either played the game or written about it?

It's not their fault that you are ignorant to who they are is it?

I love this stuff though, like football is some deep intricate thing where you need to have "played the game" to understand what is going on. It's not that hard of a topic to talk about really.

I did that with one of our home games once and thought my house was haunted with all the boos.

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.

You're on the game.

It's a sad state of affairs when you can't enjoy the football without some prat giving his opinion in your earhole. I mean the commentator of course.

I usually try to find a stream (illegal) from abroad. Portugal or Spain is good. Not the far east. That does your head in.
They're probably talking rubbish just like Tyler or Sutton or whatever but ignorance is bliss.

English speaking Football commentary in general is absolutely horrendous. They never add anything positive to a match and haven't for years. I honestly can't even remember the last time I watched a game that wasn't negativity effected by the morons attempting to talk the viewers through it. Its painful most of the time.

The football pundits are all badly dressed weasels.

 

[PITA]

Ian Wright anuses me. Comes across as though he's 100% an England fan, then laughs his head off after a defeat like that.

He's playing his media employers like a grand piano. He couldn't give a flying one and gets the cash.

Really?

Guy 'feckin' Mowbray, or the numpty on ITV, what a choice. Listening to 5 Live commentary instead.
