I just wanted to say to everyone who wishes to read my thoughts, that I absolutely hate Clive "England" Tyldesley. The bloke is a twat of the lowest order and uses any excuse to mention England as much as he can in every international game he commentates on. We probably all know he is also a Man Utd fan and like England, he states Man Utd as much as he can in his domestic football commentary. I know he's employed by ITV and can't be touched due to their finances coming from advertisers, but surely they can see what a prick he comes across as, especially as I have inside info that he may be joining Sky as their main football commentator very soon.
I'm Scottish and I don't want to hear about Scotland when France are playing Spain, even though Spain knocked as out of the European Championships. He is not commentating for England, he's commentating for the UK, so why on earth would the Welsh, Scots or Northern Irish want to hear about fecking England?
This isn't about the political state, I'd rather have Archie McPherson or Arthur Montford anytime. If you are employed on ETV (England Television) then fine say what you like about your nation, however there is no ETV, there is only ITV and this means the whole of the UK. I am more than happy to see it broken up for each nation or for each television station to go it alone.... Anyway Jock, been there and done it with most people on here, would rather keep to the subject which is Tyldesley is a ****er.
An example of Tyldesley: Well it's been a game of two halves, between two of the greatest football nations in the world. There is very little time for Brazil to come back and try and salvage something from this game, as Argentina appear in control. England know all about this kind of situation as it was very similar to their game v San Marino last month, when the great Paul Scholes took the game by the scruff of the neck and pulled the entire England team on to a famous victory... WTF!!!
Ach Boab, I was being funny re. above, followed by 'Scotland says YES'. Nae politics, just the language juxtaposition.
Only obsessives care about England mentions during England matches. I'm more bothered that he's a fan of the filthy Manc scum.
Agreed Twat of the highest order has no idea how to communicate to the fans..................................
You guys are complaining, out here on Aljazeera we have got doing analysis, Andy Gray, Rishard Keys- yes the x sky toads have sprung up here, commentating is John Helm FFS also Souness telling everyone which England team should be turning up tonight - huh Souness nearly completely fcuked Liverpool up so WTF does he know, others on the panel Glen Hoddle, he talks sense along with Ray Wilkins who also speaks the truth and is logical in his statements. On a brighter note Souness's daughter is the co presenter of the Euro 2012, well fit she is.
Scotland should have their own "independent" television company, could even call it ITV Scotland, and they would be able to put on the calibre of programmes that the Scots really want to see and can afford to watch. I mean, getting an independent television company to pander to a minority instead of concentrating on the bread and butter who bring in their money, who'da thunk that, huh? There could even be BBC Scotland? Tell you what Boab, why don't you turn off the sound and listen to the radio commentary instead? It's getting pretty boring listening to you slate England and everything English all the time. Typical poor lil' me attitude
