His comment during the replay of the French goal of 'I think Joe Hart wanted to save this' must be 1 of the most obvious observations of the Tournement so far
carragher is English, ok Scouse, but still better than listening to a member of Irish Tele Vision (ITV)
I dont care what nationality he is he is not very good - but his voice isnt as annoying as Caraghers I have no problem with non english commentators - Mark Lawrenson for example is a very good commentator and he is Irish
Actually, I'd prefer to have a neutral co-commentator. If I want someone partisan and getting excited whenever England get near goal them I'll watch the game with a mate.
In fairness if you get past the accent Carragher is pretty astute and insightful. Personally I think Lee Dixon is the best of the new pundits
I don't know, Mark Bright spun an absolute rollercoaster web of awful commentary during the Poland-Greece game. Corkers such as: "That was a good penalty" (after it had just been saved). "That was a decent hit penalty, at good height" (after seeing the replay of the penalty) "It was an awful penalty" (after seeing it a third time) "It wasn't a bad penalty" (after seeing it again). "We're watching two good footballing sides here, who are both going for it" "I think it's safe to say we're watching the two worst sides in the tournament here". Adrian Chiles came out with one last night. "This result really seems to have gotten the players peckers up"... What? Just, what?
During yesterdays game when Diarra has that point blank header saved by Hart he said "Hodgson wouldnt want to concede a goal like that." When Nasri scored he said "Hodgson will not be happy conceding a goal like that" So Andy tell me, when will Hodgson be happy conceding a goal and under what circumstances.
No I do my own crowd noises and ar lass does opposition fans we have to be segregated though with cushions darn middle of sofa. Reight yappy fecker she is anall. Win or lose we have a snooze.
Some more from yesterday during the Czech-Greece match. "I've never seen so many Czech's bouncing. I'm sure a few of the Greeks' will have though". "Is it fair to say we haven't seen the best of Greece today?" - replied by "I think it's fair to say Greece have been garbage". Karagounis went down holding his head and on came the 'physio'. "I think it's fair to say he's not at the forefront of medical science...he's come onto the pitch with two bottles of water".
2006 World Cup: 'ITV described Angola v Portugal as “sibling rivalry”: one can only assume that Peter Drury’s big brother colonised his bedroom, siphoned off its natural resources and sold the young Peter into slavery.' http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/1263/29/
