Tomaszk Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Pien Meulensteen is a really good commentator. Not heard her before this world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted November 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2022 On SBS it's like a retirement home for UK commentators and pundits Martin Tyler, Ian Brotherton, Andy Townsend, Matt Holland. And Bozzy in the studio, addicted to an iPad, looking a bit fuller of figure, or face at least, but actually pretty good with analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Mark Pougatch is one of the worst hosts around. He must have made 20 excuses for England last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I would say that for the first time in a long while, ITV have trumped the BBC. Pougatch is dull, but Woods and Seema Jaswal are very good hosts. I also like McCoist on co-comms as you can tell that he simply loves football, unlike Keown or Murphy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I think Gary Neville has a sexual attraction to the sound of his own voice. He also looks like a rugby player when sat next to this petite Sky reporter who can't get a word in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's good, but it's jobs for the boys. She got to the top because of her dad, there are plenty of other female commentators who have worked at Sky for years who haven't had a look in.

You think BBC make commentary bookings based on if their parents were Premier League coaches? She did Women's euros and other less A-List events last year, and built up to this. The comms on sky just aren't as good as her. She'll be one of the first women to start doing really big matches soon, guaranteed. Miles better than the first few like Jacqui Oatley.

The Fun Factory Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The terrifying thing is that when Lineker retires they will replace him with either Jermaine The One Show Jenas or Mark Chappers Chapman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I don’t don’t think dean saunders is massively up to date with the Croatian team today given he’s half time summary on talkshite “Canada we’re well in it, then those 3 central midfielders for Croatia really changed it, with modric and….. especially modric” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had worked hard and been Rene Meulensteen's daughter you could have achieved this, and you might not even have had to work that hard to be honest.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The internet has broken the mind of Hal Robson-Kanu too, can't see him lasting too long on TV now although we do live in a very dark timeline so who knows. https://twitter.com/RobsonKanu/likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
