there was a Pearce/Murphy match the other day, truly the worst combo

Pearce drooling over France was at least a little decadent. Murphy offers less than nothing. BBC live text comms having the cheek to accuse ITV of 'hot air'

Pearce is one of the greatest surviving commentators, along with Tyldesley, who is probably the greatest still working.

I no longer think any other commentators or pundits are good, the opposite of what I thought c.20 years ago, but Murphy is above average and Keown brings unique comic value.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 10:51 (three years ago)
Murphy's similarity to Ron Atkinson vocally always unsettles me.
― nashwan, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 11:05 (three years ago)
Hartson's insight into any given match is generally based around how effective it is to bring a big lad on upfront but I do enjoy his lovely Swansea vowels.

Murphy drives me to distraction tbh

The 0-0 seems back big time at this World Cup. Somehow we only got one in the entire 2018 tournament.

found a stream with oatley/barton, they're actually p good. warren barton is doing a sort of gregg wallace thing which is honestly preferable to most of the co-comms
― imago, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 11:47 (three years ago)
This game has been incredibly dull. If they are all like this today I may have to give up on the whole thing.
― a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 11:52 (three years ago)
Germany, Spain and Belgium coming up so likely to be some goals around today

McCoist isn't killing me as I listen to him, so far.

i like murphy from his stint at fulham and he’s excellent at getting his points across in a post-match analysisnot sure i’ve ever heard him do match commentary though
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 13:27 (three years ago)
I think Japan's is one of the best (of a real dearth of quality this WC).
Sick of penalties already (and England haven't even got their mandatory one or two yet).
― nashwan, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 13:37 (three years ago)
england’s strip is v bad
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 13:49 (three years ago)
McCoist is one of the better ones.

I'm just happy we don't have to hear Lawro's whinging anymore!
― cajunsunday, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 14:25 (three years ago)
(The sad news about David Johnson made me look up the game where I saw him score for us (I also saw him score against us)… turns out McCoist got Sunderland’s goal that day! My dad might have seen Pele at Goodison but I’ve seen the real legends, even if I’ve forgotten).
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 23 November 2022 14:27 (three years ago)
McCoist is really happy to be there for one.
So glad that Lawro was sacked, they knew he would be way too awful.

Great goal but also shocking lapse from Germany.

Walked straight past the pub with 20 minutes left, saw it was 1-0 Germany still, didn't go in. Always go in the pub
