Away for the weekend for my daughter in laws PhD graduation at Oxford, so I've got to find a pub on Sunday evening. Worth mentioning, I was in Oxford on Semi Final night. There are loads of pubs to watch the match standing up, ut we trailed everywhere without success to find a table as all were ‘reserved’ ….. Finally found upstairs at The Plough, cracking pizzas and burgers so all good in the end . |

As long as Jenas isn't on then it's all good. I don't get too bothered by commentators and pundits but Jenas is the only one who annoys me, he's just always wrong. He sucks up to players having a bad game too much for me

What's wrong with Linekar? He's clear when he speaks and he's very professional in his role. I think he gets judged more because of his political views and the obscene amount of money he gets paid rather than his ability to do his job

ITV. I like having a couple of minutes during the break to get another drink or have a shit, it’s not like they have breaks during the game. And obviously Lineker is enough to turn the tv over anyway, and Shearer. Lineker never paused to take a shit. |

Which channel has female commentators and presenters for this one? The shopping channel. |

BBC
They just do the overall thing better.
Nobody does a pre match montage quite like the Beeb. And they usually nail the choice of music for the montage (few New Order fans in the editing department I think!)

The timing is poor, it should be Saturday night, or afternoon Sunday.

BBC always for me a) adverts - so annoying b) better production values WTF? c) better presenter imo - I find Mark Pougatch ( whatever his name is) unbearable. ITV 5 minutes behind so I don't have to contribute Lineker's salary. |

I must admit that I do channel hop pre match.
Probably when ITV adverts are on or they are talking about something I am not interested in.
Half time is not a problem. Loo break pour a drink etc and 15 mins fly by.
Overall when the game is live and post match I prefer ITV for the pundits.

And they usually nail the choice of music for the montage (few New Order fans in the editing department I think!) The fabulous montages the BBC do are down to good editing, the core skill of television. Right now none of us think we will be interested in the Olympics but we will. Because the BBC will do the montages on people we don't really know and they will tear at our heart strings. |

I like all the punters, every single one of them, same as I like all the posters on here. It's just people spouting bollox. Which is all you want. Doesn't matter whether you agree with them or not, it's just so there's humans there. |

Or people can have an opinion and like him or not like him. He is in a job where some will and some won't. I don't but it's definitely not to look cool whatever that is supposed to mean. |

I get mildly irritated by co-commentators who constantly say "he should have done that there", "he should have scored that" etc. Ron Atkinson was bad for that.
Oh and the pre-prepared puns from the commentator - massive yawn for those!
Half time is reserved for attempting to achieve my ever-elusive 15 minutes of fame.

Strange that people have opinions to be on trend but I know that you are correct with that. |

I'm not too bothered about commentary - the greats make a difference, but otherwise, it's much of a muchness.
Lineker is the better presenter, but I've been pleasantly surprised by ITV in the studio this tournament, so I'm tempted to suggest we don't watch BBC for the first time when there's a choice.

I wouldn’t say I’m a massive fan,I can’t say I mind him but find the whole triumvirate of Shearer and Richards too a little nauseatingly cosy. |

I am in a very small minority here as McCoist's voice is begining to grate. As someone who speaks impeccable English his misuse of vowels as in 'Lattle bat of skill' is pissing me off....It really is (thanks Ally for that often used phrase).
