World Cup Commentary And Pundits

[City64]

Child's is seriously annoying , he should never be allowed on any sports programme nevermind football programmes for hours on end . Who the fuck makes decisions to employ the likes of him ?

See Phil Neville's abject performance was in the tabloids today , twitter gone mental aswell lol

[Ted Hughes]

Rio Ferdinand is a really shit, obvious as fuck, no mark pundit, with no real sense of humour although he pretends to have one. He's just a total thicko who is being almost patronised by the others, like a mentally subnormal geezer who nobody wants to show up by telling him how the joke he just made has already been done better by someone else 30 seconds earlier, because he was too fucking stupid to understand what they meant. He just sat next to Phil Neville & actually made him appear almost witty.

He is fucking embarrassing.

Ferdinand comes out with a series of soundbites and buzzwords he's picked up on the training ground, Ted. Although my favourite quote goes to Juninho (sp?) for last night, when talking about what Argentina had to do in the second half, he came out with the insightful 'they have to do something'.

fucling hell 31 seconds - are our US Blues excited?

Juninho is a waste of fucking time as well.

And that Italian knob on ITV. All the fucking Italians they could have had, & they pick him. At least they have Vieira etc though & people like Dixon to talk defending.

Imagine if all the squad of Robbie Savages & Rios had been left at home by the BBC, & just used the BBC staff reporters (who are all being paid to be there) in place of them, then spent their wages on people like Mancini, Wenger etc plus a good WUM to get them at it, we could actually learn something & get a few good arguments going in the studio too.

That's how football punditry used to be in the big tournaments years ago: Brian Clough & Malcolm Allison etc.

Indeed. Throw in Martinez, Laudrup or even Jol and it'd be a damn sight more interesting and informative.

I never understood why they shifted from former managers to former players for their analysis - there's only a few of them actually capable of it.

Said it before, the RTE panel is excellent. Giles, Brady and Souness very good, Dunphy is Dunphy. I like him

[Ted Hughes]

Some oldschoolish World Cup banter going on between Oneil & Vieira there. Much better than the BBC stuff. If they just fucked off Andros Townshend & brought in a 3rd personality, then it would go up another level.

Surprised at Oneil's utter bollox comments about RVP's goal; if the two cbs move out to play offside, then the fullback who is looking at them from out wide, has to do the same. They can have the argument about whether they took a risk stepping up, whilst the lino holds up his flag, rather than picking the ball out of the fucking net.

Brian Clough would rip the shit out of Oneil on that one if he was still around.

Cannot stand O'Neill, he boils my piss.

[zuricity]

watching the Beeb , inspite of having so many choices and Danny Scouse does crap on .

Edit: I can't believe Danny Scouse just said "Good foul,good foul that.At this stage of the game. Take a yellow card for the team" !

He was right though and if Torres still had the pace he used to, the defender would have got nowhere near him

Nope he isn't right, not at all . Certainly not publicly.

Anyone watching Torres in the last two years will know he's likely to fluff it.

Exactly. That yellow could cost him a game in the latter stages as well

It's the sycophancy that gets me. Chiles and to an extent Dixon treat him as if he's God. I'm no fan of O'Neill (mainly based on his waste of time spell with us during John Bond's 'Football Manager before it was invented' phase of buying big names) but he said 'I'm not being sycophantic' about Vieira for a reason - because Chiles is nothing else. Brian Moore never kowtowed to panellists, however big their names were. If he thought Brian Clough or John Bond was being a dick, he would say so, in polite terms, but firmly none the less. But Chiles?

"Of course Fabio... you'd have been able to stop that goal blindfold wouldn't you? We were on the beach this morning and two Italians rushed up and kissed Fabio's feet! I've half a mind to go down there myself... or maybe a little higher. Ohhhhh Fabio.'

Just fuck off.
