Scathing appraisal of Matterface. He is poor, and I can well imagine that he's already prepping some very Partridge-esque one-liners for Sunday.
Matterface is third worst 2nd worse the young lady (i regret that I have forgotten her name) who did CAFC Commentary. 1st worse, the king, the man who I would rather have dental surgery drilling played to mute him Clive Tyldesley!!!!
Clive Tyldesley is terrible too. When ITV moved him from No.1 to No. 2 he made a stupid video about how it wasn't his decision. As if everyone mid-pandemic would start sympathising with him.
I don't enjoy commentators that pick something out, maybe a dive or something similar and moan about it for the rest of the game. The two I have picked out are very guilty of this.
Surprise people seem to like Keane. Liked him when he was at forest then went to Man U and turned into a right knob. Talks crap can see why he flopped at being a manager and can tell he would like England to lose.
Think there’s only Ian Wright I like on ITV wish he would get up and stick nut on Keane when he has digs like Pickford should have saved free kick. BBC for me unless weighty promises to nut Keane if we lose.
When I look at both line-ups in a lot of the jobs ITV are better.
Pundits - Out of Keane, Neville, Wright, Shearer, Lampard and Ferdinand none of them are bad, and the only ones if I was being picky who are not better than the others its Shearer and Lampard so ITV win there
Interviewer - Gabriel Clarke is one of the best there is so no competition
Presenter - Both are excellent
Co Comms - Dixon is not great but Jeans is not great either
BUT it has to be BBC where I watch it due to bloody Matterface. That commentary the other night has to be the worst I have ever heard for such a big game. Would not surprise me if he gets dropped by ITV after this tournament like Matt Lorenzo after the Dallas bunker in 94
Also ITV have Peter Walton who is as much use as a chocolate tea pot when he is called in for his 'expert' insight
Not at all. I just don't like the BBC. That's it. There's no hidden agenda, nor anything to glean from my post. Especially no need for the first, albeit comical, triggered response to someone having the temerity to not like the BBC 😂
Peace and love, my friend. Others would do well to embrace that mantra but are so filled with hate if others don't share their tunnel vision 👍
Enjoy the match, wherever you watch it.
Ha, ha. Don't flatter yourself, I'd started writing my "joke" (not one of my best I'll admit) before I'd even read yours. I couldn't care less about your clichéd dislike for the BBC.
"Hate filled", "triggered", "tunnel vision"...nope it was a lighted hearted comment, nothing more.
Has to be ITV - The odious trio of the omnipotent 'I think I'm so funny and clever' Lineker, Detective Constable Shearer and that gormless drip Ferdinand are simply lowest common denominator dullards for the English masses. Not a personality between them. It's like Schofield presenting a game show. Ugh.
I missed the second goal against Ukraine as changed channels at HT to avoid these clowns and thought I left it to the last minute, but misjudged!
The actual match commentator whoever he was was embarrassing and constantly being shown up by Jermaine Jenas, who I actually thought was really good.
A few of us watched the Semi-final on ITV round a mates house, and to be honest was too busy chatting and watching to listen to any of the 'analysis' - but the saving grace was not having to look at the aforementioned faces, no matter how much of a plank Roy Keane is.
BBC with 5 live commentary as suggested above seems like a perfect solution.
I will be wathcing BBC with the mute button on. At least no adverts. Sam Matterface is a disgrace - what a bell end telling everyone to sack off work - great if you can afford it? Can I sack off my mortgage too Sam? you utter pr1ck

To be fair, I doubt anybody will do so because he told them to.
So because you don't like the British Broadcasting corporation you won't watch the brilliant but aging Gary Lineker, (there's a pun coming) Rio ( why wasn't I allowed to run with the ball out of defense) Shearer (my record speaks for itself but I need to remind the younger generation)
And instead watch and listen to Ashley Cole ( how the fuck did he chat up Cheryl ?) who is so uncomfortable in front of the camera, Emma Hayes who has great knowledge but is difficult to listen too. And Ian Wright,( did I mention Sterling is brilliant) a very passionate guy who is struggling against the competitive Roy Keane,( I tell you) who once did GBH on a football field against Haaland and some how didn't end up in prison.
Enjoy the 20 advert breaks in the build up on ITV, I will be watching the sucking balls on BBC.
In my opinion, the bbc is only really let down by a bit of banal bollocks by both the commentary team and the pundits. Plus, I don’t really like Shearer. No reason, I just think he’s a bit of a smug prick. 😀
ITV have a lot of problems. The article posted earlier that ripped Matterface was very good, but the writer seems to be under the impression that Tyldesley doesn’t also work with a partridge-esque script. Listening to itv commentary is just excruciating. Cheesy scripted one-liners and dad-jokes in tandem with inane chat and pompous opinionising, all while failing to effectively commentate on what’s actually going on. Admittedly, the BBC is not faultless on this, but itv is just light years worse. When it comes to the itv panel, I can see why they have Keane, but to me he’s just a bit of a joke. And not a very funny one. The whole image he’s portraying of being no-nonsense, angry, serious, humourless and hard as nails is just a bit sad and I find it a bit tiresome and pathetic. I guarantee itv will throw fuel on the fire that is the “feud” between Keane and Wright because people might choose itv just for that.
As for co-commentators, I’m not really bothered by Dixon, Jenas, Murphy, Hayes, McCoist or whoever. The co-commentator isn’t a trained broadcaster and is there to give a player’s view. Some of them are a bit less insightful, a bit duller or a bit stupider than others, but they’re not the biggest issue for me.
So, given the choice, definitely the BBC, but I might watch on ESPN just because it’s a bit different. 😎
RTE, as long as I can avoid being blocked (well, actually, both me and my reception).
Jaysus really? 😳 RTE has been horrendous imho. Thankfully they binned Ronnie Whelan after his comment about the Eriksen tribute during a Denmark game. The anti English guff has really started to piss me off. I’m so grateful the final is on BBC, I’ll suffer Danny Murphy after Kenny Cunninghams comms cured my insomnia for good.
Generally speaking, I prefer to watch matches on neutral (or allegedly neutral) channels, I haven't seen any England games till now, and thought it would be worth a shot - I suppose there is an element of bitterness over Grealish and Rice (maybe more so with Rice), and we Irish do know how to hold a grudge (just listen to anything Roy Keane says).
I keep hoping that the lads from Apres Match, of days of yore, will do the real thing.

Well done for getting so much out of a two word post. Apologies for all that hate. It just overflows.
BBC for me. No adverts. Would be nice if Ian Wright could shift across for the day. I like the way he speaks about the game. Genuine, and shows real passion for the sport.

I wouldn't mind Gary Neville joining him and Emma Hayes has had a good tournament for me.
The over used hate word when talking about what bloody channel you are going to watch is beyond a joke:
Remember boys and girls we all give it out at times so remember we will get it back hopefully in a jokey way because it's so trivial compared to the utter shite we have had to endure in the last 18 months.
Try to enjoy the game even if you mute the sound and just listen to 3 lions on a loop.

2nd worse the young lady (i regret that I have forgotten her name) who did CAFC Commentary.
1st worse, the king, the man who I would rather have dental surgery drilling played to mute him Clive Tyldesley!!!!
Anyway, we won't let it spoil our fun.

Plus it's just occurred to me that I'd still have to watch those three dullards on the screen during non-footballing times, so yes - ITV!

Now there's a good idea ?
