Konrad von Carstein Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Much better (IMO) than either Tyldesy or Mowbray and thier respective colour men (the two one time Oirishmen). Perhaps little understated but at least no screaming and inane comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It is anyone but Lawrenson for me, but I think Keown has done a good job. He is obviously interested in the tactical side of the game and has called it well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4marsbars Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Whoever he is, I like the way that he tells you who is on the ball. Much better than that ITV guy who just chats away without telling you anything about what's actually happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldstone Wonder Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Steve Wilson is the commentator. I agree they're much better than Mowbray and Lawrenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_rae Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Keown is absolute murder. Ends every comment in a question, doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is obviously interested in the tactical side of the game and has called it well tonight. That is the "second" guy's job IMO, explain (in simple terms) the technical side of the game and compliment the running commentary - raher than offer inane jingoistic or sarcastic comments, well done MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunks Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thankfully the red button offers a choice of commentators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboj Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wilson is fine, but Keown is the most uninsightful clown I've ever heard. The guy popped a stiffy every time Ronaldo's face was on the camera, give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I thought Keown wasn't that bad, but that might be because Lawrenson did the previous game that I watched, and he is utterly dismal. The Match of the Day clique are still a ******* disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Still better than Mick McCarthy, who made me hate football and want to kill myself after every game he commentated on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Mick McCarthy looks like one of those blokes who were born middle-aged and he sounds like he should be commentating on a Yorkshire sheep-shearing contest. Martin Keown might have a face like a Halloween Cake but at least he speaks well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 All the so called commentary from both BBC and ITV has done is make me hope to feck that Brazil 14 isn't protected and I can watch it on Sky! As for tonight it was horrific listening to them slate every Portuguese player if they didn't immediately pass to Ronaldo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 They were woeful, very anti Spain in my opinion. If England had scored 8 and let in 1 and qualified for the final they would be stroking each other!! Only thing Keown got right was saying "Pepe is a drama queen!".....Not sure they understand the offside rule and phases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 They were absolutely awful. I can think of quite a few instances when they clearly didn't see what had just happened. Having a go at players for diving then changing their minds on seeing the 2nd or 3rd replay. Their basic knowledge of the game was laughable. Asking why Spain hadn't played like this during the 90 minutes for example. The simple reason is Portugal were tired and couldn't press as much in extra time, thus giving Spain more room to play their normal game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flimsy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In the last 25 years I can only think of two co-commentators who have offered anything, Andy Gray on Sky and Pat Nevin on 5live. The rest lack the required level of insight or personality to deserve to be paid to talk at us. Keown is just the latest in a long line of boring pundits with nothing interesting to say. Listening to Keown during this tournament is like listening to an English version of Craig Paterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
