No, we'll have to listen to that cockwomble for 2 out of our 3 group games. Can't ITV just f**k off and stop ruining football coverage??!

[snedd88]

Is this is the game that is on Wednesday afternoon!? If so I am there!! and the Eavis's have already said its being played on big screens at the pryamid! which is going to be an amazing atmosphere if you ask me.

Im not big on football, but when it comes to England playing you gota be up for it. Is there also a poosible game on the Sunday night depending how we do in our group??...

[Chazeboy]

as im the ROW Manager (and occasionally Scottish) im not sure who cheer on, coz if i go england i can legitimatly wear my flat cap and that means i can also bring a rattle, and shout helpful things like, "play on", "thats it, up the line" and so forth, but if Hogga is there i may have to go against Engurlund, and cheer on the Slovenians

"igra naprej"

"to to z železnico tja in nazaj"

you see - Rest of the World - very cultured with my multi langauages (google)

what you on about? he enhances it. any scots who are on the fence or neutral are compelled to side with the opposition when he commentates. he unites us!

[Chazeboy]

I can imagine a very small group/if any solveian supporters so im sure that atmosphere will be great.. :/

I would say stick with the 'Engurland' lot if you want to have a good time

But I thought you Scots hated to be reminded that England won the World Cup in 1966?

You won't find a commentator that waffles on about it anywhere near as often as that twat does.

[Chazeboy]

i wouldnt mind cheering engerlund on because *shock* they are actually quite good, i mean its just in the nature of footy, to always bang on about past results, Celtic-Euro Cup Aberdeen-cup winners cup & super cup Rangers- battle of the boyne....etc etc. that dosent bother me at all. its just a better laugh and banter if your mates and you cheer on different teams, and because im not english, i can go with or without them, if they were playing eccosse that would be a different matter.

[Kowalski]

then on bbc you've got ian wright coming at us before and after the game which has the same effect.

Thankfully he's no longer with the BBC.

[Chazeboy]

you missed out livingston and the epic league cup

i'm normally on your sort of wavelength. but as i say, so easy to go back to supporting whoever they play. plus this year we have the added cole and terry factor so find it hard to wish them well.

[Tugger2k]

I would rather both terrestrial channels stopped trying to do football, I know sky sports is expensive but its coverage is better by miles!

[ampersand]

you don't need a list. just say alan smith. job done.

i wish is was that simple

[remote]

I'm another that can't stand the so-called experts on Sky.

Paul Merson

Charlie Nicholas

Matt Le Tisser

Chris Kamara

Jamie Redknapp

Andy Gray

All complete and utter gobshites.

Honourable mention to Richard Keys; that hairy little twat is just sky's little bitch. He whores himself out by asking stupidly obvious questions so the "experts" in the studio can make themselves look intelligent by giving a detailed answer.

[Man drew]

How can you not like Kamara? The man is a legend!!

Agreed about Gray, Redknapp and Nicholas though, utter knob cheeses

Don Goodman

Chris Kamara

Dean Windass (hilarious - just great TV whenever he's on - he's hopeless)

Johnny Phillips (Wolves fan)

Jeff Stelling

John Salako

Stuart Hall (get this guy on the TV footage - pure genius)

John Motson

Peter Drury

David Pleat

Andy Townsend

Glenn 'C**t' Hoddle

Gary Birtles

Paul Merson

Paul Jewell

During the last World Cup, the BBC had the best pundit I've seen in ages - Leonardo. The guy was brilliant - knew his stuff and was funny with it. I'd love them to get him back.

Also, get Mick McCarthy and Martin O'Neill - both have worked for the BBC in the big tournaments before, both were hilarious.
