    Because he has an opinion doesn't make him a good pundit, boring to listen to glad he won't be on ITV.

    Great news I cannot stand Keane, as a footballer or person.
    I bet Mick McCarthy is still smiling to himself over unemployed Keanes WC comments.

    Chiles isn't a pundit to be fair to him. He is the presenter and Ok IMO.

    Keane is such a miserable nob - I'm delighted he won't be on the screens.

    I honestly think he will do something daft like go on a gun rampage and murder loads - he's got that look about him

    Apparently John Terry is going to replace him... seriously.

    Bringing his england kit I assume.

    Keane is hilarious to me. Genuine comedy gold. He has no interest in being a pundit. Anytime someone asks him a question, he seems genuinely annoyed that they did. He can't understand why anyone asks him anything. That he hasn't slapped Chiles on air is a huge surprise. The shot of him leaving a hotel on SSN yesterday had me in stitches.

    That's actually very true! He can barely conceal his contempt for his interviewer!

    Keane barely ever conceals his contempt for anyone who isn't Roy Keane.

    ....again very true. He does seem to like his dogs though.

    Won't miss him at all. I don't mind someone having a controversial opinion or two but I do prefer them to not be soporific to listen to.

    Shame because I was waiting for all of ITV's coverage throughout the tournament and counting the number of times he would say... "Listen..." when he was about to speak.

    Don't know if I am right but itv always seem to be England's unlucky channel.

    |As I suspected -figures in todays paper (from memory so maybe not exactly right, but in this ball park)
    The Italy game was the first world cup defeat shown exclusively by BBC since 1986.
    The win percentage of exclusive BBC games is 76% and drops to 23% win rate on the games shown exclusively on ITV

    Sorry to get all Malcolm Gladwell on you, but do ITV get more of our 2nd round or QF games? Is it more about the way the games are divided up?

    Depends on the bargaining.
    BBC might get the first game, and allow the next two england games to go to ITV but they then get first choice of say 2 quarter finals and first semi final, etc etc.

    They should have replaced Keane with this gentleman.

    Not suitable for work or young children.

    Does anyone listen to these pundit sessions - I always thought they were a reminder to get a cup of tea/new beer/ look at Charlton Life/ talk to the wife etc.

    We just need to get rid of the ones who make statements of the obvious during the game - especially the one called Danny Murphy (doesn't Michael Grade still have some sway at the BBC?).
