***Official Commentary Complaints Thread***

Keys, Grey, Scott and a few others - watching their analysis hurts my head.

Keys is one of the most despicable men alive

Chris Waddle had a golden moment towards the end of the England/Iceland game on Radio 5Live. He was watching from the studio and the match commentator asked him what he thought and he said "Dunno, I'm speechless."

Apparently at half time in the England v Iceland game Mark Pougatch asked the panel if Joe Hart should be dropped for the quarter-final.

Looks like you can start to officially blame the likes of Glenn Hoddle and the rest of his chums at ITV for England being dire. Since Euro 96 England have a 57% win rate at major tournaments when the BBC is showing the game vs 27% when it's on ITV.

I do like the occasional Mark Saggers rant.

'Eden Hazard is on familiar ground having played at Lille. Although Lille moved here the summer he moved to Chelsea so he's never played here.'

So not really familiar territory at all is it?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Germany v Italy commentary team are the worst so far.

Well done to Tyldsley for getting a mention of 1966 in you ****ing bellend.

I don't dislike Glenn Hoddle (yes I do, he's a dick) but why oh why when he makes a point does he have to repeat the same point again adding the word "really" to it. It's annoying. It's really annoying. Is really annoying more annoying than annoying?

 

[sledger]

His errant use of the word "them" is more irritating, I think.

E.g. "Them players", or "them goals" etc...

Got to love Shearer laying into Giroud for not squaring it to Griezmann despite the replay showing the pass was never on due to Höwedes' positioning.

You know there's no rule against Giroud changing direction with the ball, right? The pass wasn't on because he decided to run hilariously slowly in a perfectly straight line, before losing the ball.

If there isn't someone needs to tell the man himself.

'Sums up the tournament for me, pretty dull, pretty boring'

What tournament has Shearer been watching ffs?

Murphy's recurring 'they should be pressing them here!' rant is a damning indictment of all the Liverpool managers he played under.

Fairly common opinion across the board

Ferdinand said Portugal didn't suffer too much going down to 10 men when Ronaldo went off.........

Their style of play makes it hard for someone like Ronaldo to impact the game much.. he was only noticeable in this tournament when he put the ball in the net.

Might want to try reading that post again.
