Slight diversion but as this half-wit was mentioned a page or so back I'd like to mention him again - esp' as he spoils every single game that he commentates on for me.
Apart from his manic OTT borderline lunatic commentating style esp' during 'big moments' he talks absolute drivel at times.
His mutterings are littered with half-truths, ridiculous assumptions & extrapolations and on many occasions he has told absolute lies.
How he got the job is a mystery to me and how he retains it more so.
And don't even get me started on Hoddle & Dixon...

He is useless.
We should have the option of watching the game without commentary. I know you can mute the sound but that destroys the atmosphere. When you watch at the ground the lack of inane babble from a commentator isn't an issue.

I thought they played pretty well and certainly deserved a win. One mistake and the Ball was in. Thats football. They have made progressing a bit difficult. But they have done that in the past and managed it.

Surley England have someone better than Kane for taking corners and free kicks.

What an absolute rocket from Modric there! Goal of the tournament so far!

There aren't many commentators who are easy on the ear. I quite like John Motson, but most just irritate the life out of me. Tyldsley is probably the most annoying, his mouth just seems to be a verbal garbage generator, but he is closely followed by the sanctimonious, condescending Allen Green, and Jonathon Pierce who's piercing voice goes through me.
The way they all over-pronounce the names of foreign players does my head in, why is anyone named Dave who doesn't come from the British Isles called "Davvid", why is Ralph Coates's distant relative Sebastian's surname pronounced Ko-art-ezz, and why is Man Utd's Tony Martial pronounced "Marsh-ee-al", are people from Mars called "Marsh-ee-ans"?
Sorry, it's the Turkey v Croatia half time random rant, but it makes me feel better!

Yup. Most of the time it's bollocks but I once sat in front of a manager and his assistant at a pre-season warm-up and I learned a lot. Very interesting it was - particularly in regard to players' positioning when they don't have the ball.
