So THAT's why ITV are on their arse

[Enrique Ponce]

Pay £100m a season for the Champions League rights and then get CRAIG FUCKING DOYLE to present it.

 

Jesus. Or rather Bejaysus as the faux Oirish kids TV presenter would no doubt say. Have you ever met anyone actually from Ireland who talks like that tit?

 

I never thought I'd say this, but bring back Jim Rosenthal.

I'd never back Jim Rosenthal over anybody.

Yes, no-one will watch Champions League Football due to the inane banter of Craig Doyle before the game, at half time and at full time. They will NEVER tune in at kick off time, have a slash at half time and go to bed at full time. EVER.:thumbsup:

I had no idea who he was, but can you honestly say he was worse than Jim Rosenthal? Not a chance.

 

I wouldn't mind betting that Matt Smith who normally does it is on holiday. I don't mind him actually he's certainly better than the fucking chimp on Sky and Gary "the paint's drying" Lineker.

[Chuck Fadanoid]

I thought the fucknut sitting opposite Doyle was a greater cause for concern.

[Randy Marsh]

To be honest i dont mind Doyle. Doesnt have the overpowering ego of certain other gobshite anchormen, a.k.a Lineker and Keys.

Tonight, the whole ITV team were awful. The commentary team in particular were a pair of cunts, both desperate for the Belgians to score.

 

The Manc was in his element dropping poisonous anti-liverpool diatribe ad infinitum

[Thants]

I think Gabby Logan is probably the best. Not just because I can stare at her breasts but she's actually a very good presenter and knows her stuff. Just wish BBC would stop that crazed shrieking bitchturd who does the commentry.

[Ian Sea]

I didn't know who Craig Doyle was but my bird told me he's a male Judith Chalmers. ITV (and BBC for that matter) should just get James Richardson in, he's by far the best football presenter around.

 

Also, my mate has just been on holiday with Jim Rosenthal. He went to Spain somewhere and partnered him in a golf tournament. He said he was alright, a nice fella like. There were a few 'football people' there as my mate's dad is mates with Alan Parry. So Parry himself was there and Rosenthal, and Brian Marwood and some dude who was Jan Molby's chairman when he was a manager.

[Seanleonardart]

At least Doyle can review the citys that Liverpool travel too !!

[El Rojo]

Jim Rosenthal is half owl. Not enough owls on TV these days.

Tyldesley called Plessis a big unit. Thats unfair - he doesnt look like a fat woman to me.

Just shows how far behind the times Tyldesley is.... it's a "Big Dinner" now.

Best pass that on to S31 as well.

- and then watch the match with the volume turned down because of Tyldesely the Twat.

Robbie Earle must die.

[Malarkey]

Very surprised he didn't mention "That wonderful night in Barcelona". Seems to be his trademark.

God I miss Bellamy and Riise

It amazes me how Earle and Townsend got the ITV pundit slots in the 1st place,what did either of them achieve in the game comparing them to pundits of other Chanels?! Neither of them even got close to playing in the Champs league,they cant even speak from experiance! How many times did either of them actualy play in Europe?!

[Maldini]

I honestly don't care what someone's done in the game so long as what they're saying makes sense. There are no good pundits on English TV anymore, they talk around the game, applying their prejudices and theories to it but never actually discuss why a team won or lost.

 

You watch other sports like golf or rugby and they have intelligent experts who can break down complex tactics or skills into understandable forms, football pundits don't bother, very few of them are even interested in football, they have fuck all knowledge of players and even less of tactics. It sickens me that these cretins then influence the masses to believe their half-formed ill-conceived ideas. Any cunt that brings up zonal marking this season is going on the list with Robbie Earle, I'm looking at you Redknapp!

Thank you.

Townsend is boring. Earle is the tokeN black man :whistle:

[Kevin D]

Tyldesley was ace during our game. His analogies made me laugh and the over-excited away he says "Rafa Benitez" always brings a smile to my face.

[sir roger]

Craig Doyle said ' lets hope we are much better second half ' so I'll let him off

 

I like Townsend & he seems to give us far more credit than most pundits.

 

Robbie Earle is absolutely useless, vying with Duke McKenzie as sports poorest colour commentator.

 

Maldini , in the earlier post , is spot on here. We get a very raw deal on pundits as opposed to other sports. When was the last time any football pundit said anything incisive that made you stop and think.
