Who's your favourite co-commentator at the WC

[sheshnu]

The problem with a lot of these co-commentator people is that they are usually far too critical of everything that happens on the pitch. It's no fun being moaned at for 2 hours by the likes of Bright and Coleman. Beglin's been better during the WC and McCarthy seems to enjoy himself.

It's why I like Pleat - it's like watching football with your Grandad wittering on; he has a very welcoming style.

Lawrenson is just beyond awful, the worst very combination of moaning, sarcastic banality.

Mind you Lawrenson is the funniest

lolwut

McCarthy, brilliant and a bonus point for contradicting everything he says with his Wolves tactics.

and his cunning dusguise of route one football as back to front football.

[Jerry St Clair]

Has it been mentioned about the tokenism shown by both channels by plonking a black bloke in the middle of the summarisers?
Just cos it's in SA.

See the latest Private Eye for an article on this.

Glad SA are out so I don't have to listen to commentators trying to be trendy by saying Bafana Bafana every 20 seconds. It's like your grandad trying to speak like Dizzee Rascal.

LOLz @ Mick's comment as the Brazilian goalkeeper whammos a portuguese

"Now will you go to church?"

[Royal Lady]

I've voted Mark Bright - always liked him tbf.

Lawrenson makes some terrible "jokes".

McCarthy is all right I suppose.

Adebayor went back home as his wife had a baby girl while he was out there. HTH.

[Baines]

I've voted Mark Bright - always liked him tbf.

He's an utter cretin.

[Royal Lady]

No wonder I like him then etc etc. Each to their own Baines.

[LUX]

I don't mind Bright, was a great fan of Earle as a commentator, and voted for Coleman in this poll (his only vote).

Lux: Not with the herd.

except we all agree Townsend =ITV= everything that is bad in the world.


/no hyperbole.

I thought Bright was good in the France / Mexico match, where he was incredulous that France had played worse in their preceding game. I will add a word of support regarding Lawrenson as well, obvly he's a complete and utter fucking toolhead but he spent large chunks of the England / Slovenia game trying to counteract Guy Mowbray's repulsive crowing about England winning the match / gROFLoup.

Anyway, Pleat from that list.

[Ian Royal]

Close between Mark Bright and Mick McCarthy for me. There's just something about Mick's voice and depressed witterings that I find endlessly entertaining.

Lawrenson just sounds bitter that he isn't earning the pundit bucks whenever he commentates. And he talks the most unbelievable bilge as well.
