Absolute garbage! .......and as for Channel 4's coverage.
The incident that summed it up perfectly for me was I fell asleepOne incident summed that up.
Second half late on Philips fouls an Italian defender a second before someone strikes the ball and the Italian keeper makes a stunning save. Absolutely no mention of the save just sarky comments about the Italian "diving". Seriously these mongs shouldn't get work stacking shelves in Aldi.
Pulled a couple of very good saves off in the bits I sawNice to see Rammers keep a clean sheet. UTB
Yes I thought the same. I also wondered why there wasn't a male presenter/ interviewer in sight before the 2 commentators appeared at kick off but got a warm glow seeing how they'd balanced out the dreary pundit that is Owen with an equally dreary female pundit (I've not a foggy who she is). I nearly spilt mi brew though at half time when Channel 4 went across to the 100% male dominated sport that is Formula One for an update to be greeted by yet another screechy woman. Just what C4 are trying to achieve I don't know but (just like when they had the league football), it's a boring shambles.One incident summed that up.

I used to like C4's Racing coverage and when Gazza was playing in Italy their coverage of the Italian league was good but i agree this England coverage has been POOR and i'm being kind just calling it poor Gray mi owd pal.

I'm more concerned with the players and the result than the daft commentaryI used to like C4's Racing coverage and when Gazza was playing in Italy their coverage of the Italian league was good but i agree this England coverage has been POOR and i'm being kind just calling it poor Gray mi owd pal.

Yes i agree England have been poor in this Nations league comp or whatever it's called but the tv coverage is POOR in my view Chippy. UTBI'm more concerned with the players and the result than the daft commentary
from any TV channel Rod. Even worse on radio.

Peter O'Sullivan was the best Racing commentator i've ever heard,wonderful voice and when he said a Horse was making significant progress you knew it was going to be close to winning the race.I used to like Martin Tyler before he joined Sky but now it's just cliche after cliche from him. When they made him say sorry for saying the Ukraine keeper in the Wales game would soldier on after being injured,well that just made me think WTF has happened to the world. UTBAll good choices. Sid's a riot. I'd definitely have Warney in there as well for the entertainment factor and I'd add Peter Alliss, Murray Walker, Ted Lowe and Jim Arlott.
