Poor old Phil. His brother was a significantly better full back and now he's also a significantly better pundit. Never mind Phil, at least your coaching career is going better than Gary's... oh.
I never thought I'd miss itv sport, the World Cup out here is covered by Indian tv. It's all done in a sky sports way with the presenter and two currant footballers one being Peter Crouch who is taking the Rodney Marsh role, with a nice linen suit no socks and loafers! And the Indian football captain who keeps correcting Crouch on who was playing in the England team alongside him. The interesting bit is when they all stand alongside a huge tv and move the players around, the cameraman has to keep changing focus from Crouch to the Indian captain who appears to be only 5' tall.
Yes, good points but felt more like an open university lecture! It did start to grate a bit I must admit. Strange as his brother is great to listen to.
Why do we have to have two commentators? I, like most football supporter, know, who has the ball, scored, fouled, offside, etc. They even tell you how many minutes are left, theres a bloody clock in the top corner. I know they are only offering their opinion but why do they have to keep stating the bloody obvious? I pressed the red button after 30 minutes and turned the commentary off.
I thought I had a boring voice, but he beats me. It's the way he speaks in clusters of six words that fascinates me. Or, is he a computer that has a number of phrases that are randomly generated throughout the game?
To be fair, I thought his comments were OK. He will improve.
He is certainly monotone but the principal problem for me is that he never shuts up. Some of the content is ok, but he needs to understand that there's no need to fill every silence with inane comments. Maybe he'll get better.
I know it was the middle of the night, but a red button kept popping up on the screen, did anyone on here press it and manage to change the commentary?

sorry what was that?

I expected to dislike Phil but actually thought he did okay.

Boom tish.

If only we could have John motson and Clive Tyldesley together, with Gary Lineker, Thierry Henry and Gus Poyet in the studio
As said previously. What he spoke was probably ok, but he was sooooo boring, I didn't want to listen.
