Keown: "You can see he's absolutely exhausted from the work he's had to do tonight". Yeah I remember that one. Pearls of wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Two things... I wish they would stop going on about Salah, **** hell, it has been endless. And during this game they mentioned the fact Kane should have had penalties. STOP IT! We won, it's over. **** off Pearce. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Will there be a minutes silence before every game from now on given that poor Mohammad salah is going out of the tournament? Christ the bbc coverage is abysmal. Edited June 19, 2018 by villa89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm glad I could learn so much from tonight's commentary about the sides. Especially the Russians. The Russian striker is "big" apparently. Zhirkov has "just signed a new contract" even though he is old. The guy they got to join the squad out of retirement was "pulled out of retirement". Fascinating stuff all round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ the bbc coverage is abysmal. It was a wonderfully brave performance from Salah tonight, to fight on in such adversity. Brought a tear to my eye. When it was Beckham, Rooney and Owen it was all self indulgent but Salah is a true hero! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) The commentator according to the sky guide is Vicki sparks for the Portugal game, she was bloody awful when she did a game for the fa cup on motd last season Edited June 20, 2018 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 From what I've heard of her, Vicki Sparks isn't that bad at all, the clown next to her, Martin Keown, is as bad as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Sparks is fine, imo. Not brilliant, but certainly not objectionable. At least not compared to the ex-pros who mostly just have cushy "jobs for the boys". Edited June 20, 2018 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 20mins I’ve given up on that commentary, both are awful, Changed to 980 terry butcher on that, only downside is that it ain’t in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Have to say, I don't think anyone would think twice about Sparks' commentary if she had a deeper voice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Sparks is fine I think. She is very literal with her commentary though, can tell she’s cut her teeth doing radio comms. Dare I say it, Keown has actually been alright during this game too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 One of the commentators on Swedish telly is ex player Glenn Strömberg, loved him as a player but they guy is infuriating as a commentator. His vocabulary is pretty much 6 phrases of which he repeats 2 of them easily 200 times per game, for no apparent reason. I actually came up with a drinking game related to this about 10 years ago that is that whenever he says "här" (here) or "där" (there) you have to take a sip. Warning thou it will get you hammered withing 30 minutes. He also has a habit that whenever a team does something good he makes it out like he was just about to say they should do that more often, he also regularly states that he's "never ever heard atmosphere like this before" or something like that every week. And whenever something exiting happens he goes full retard and belches out something like OOOOAAAAÖÖÖUUUHHHÖÖÖÖ!!! At least it appears he has stopped getting drunk before the games like he used to do a few years ago during the CL broadcasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I do find female commentators when they're having to raise their voice either due to excitement or a loud crowd can be a bit grating. The female pundits though I think are much better than the male ones in general in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) That female commentator was absolutely dreadful. A radio commentator, with no personality. The clamour for female presenters, commentators and pundits is reaching fever pitch. Fine if they are good at their job but I can't help feeling that some of them are there to fill a PC quota.
