ITV's coverage!!!!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!
As usual ITV have exceeded themselves with the poverty of their coverage of the world cup. Paul Gascoigne is incoherent, and his lack of ability to string a sentence together is so frustrating. But add to this the total t0sspot that is Andy Townsend, as well as that eeejit Ron Atkinson and you have a recipe for disaster.
Oh and England never win on ITV ![]() |

GAZZA GLASSED BY DRUNKEN GIRL IN BAR SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne needed eight stitches after a ranting female football fan smashed a glass on his HEAD. The former England star - who is currently part of ITV's team covering the World Cup - spent the night in hospital after he was sewn up by a casualty doctor. Gazza, 35, was drinking with pal Jimmy Five Bellies and former England ace Chris Waddle in a Southampton hotel when the incident happened. He had just finished playing for a select England side against Southampton in a testimonial for Matt Le Tissier. Pals say the drunken woman staggered up to Gazza and DEMANDED he start talking to her. The ex-Spurs and Lazio hero, who finished last season playing for First Division Burnley, said he was with friends and asked her to leave. But the woman suddenly became abusive and began swearing at him. Then, in a fit of rage, she picked up a whisky glass and threw it at his head... NEWS OF THE WORLD, Sunday 02 June 2002. |

I hate ITV too... not because of their awful pundits and constant ad breaks.... but because instead of showing the second half of the Paraguay - SAfrica game, they decided to have an extra hour of build up to the England game.
As a result I missed the best half of football of the championships so far. |

Brilliant point. What bunch of t0ssers! I've never known anything like it. What idiot decided to show us the same old stuff of our previous World Cup goals instead of the match they'd just shown the first half of. This 'England England' obsession is getting to me, particualrly with certain incidents last night which I won't go into here. I know we are in England but it is the WORLD Cup after all. I DON'T need to see Geoff Hurst's hatrick ever again - I've seen it enough.

The reason they decided to not show it in widescreen is because the host companies would only be able to provide about 6 camera positions rather than the 20 odd they show.
Why they cannot organise the cameras better in the home of technology, I dont know. I am glad, I still have my ITV digital box as the second half was really good rather that watching Venables and a geordie who cannot link two words together. |

I have to say, my heart sank when I realised this morning that ITV had the England game - they have ballsed up their coverage since day one.
Friday was classic - having to work meant that I couldn't watch the France game - on learning the result, I was even more interested to watch their highlights programme at 10.30 - tuned in to get 30 mins of build up for the England game, 5 mins of highlights (basically showed the goal and little else) and then they were going to show an interview with Roy (What a spoilt child I am ) Keane. As for today, it was a complete joke - I have Sky, so was able to tune into the second half of the Paraguay game, but what about the millions of fans who had to endure nearly 90 mins of "build up" from possibly the worst set of pundits ever (Apologies to Bobby Robson) Thank god the other two group games are on BBC

the only decent thing about ITV's coverage is Gabby Logan
The rest of them however Gascoigne - Incomprehensible and still acts stupid Townsend - Professional moron, he talks so much crap it's unbelievable Vegetable - Never like him, he repeats things and goes off on silly tagents Neville - not really the thinking man's footballer is he McCoist - he may talk sense but no-one can understand him Bobby Robson isn't too bad but he tends to reminisce too much The only decent pundit Robbie Earle is the one that i have not seen yet.

Also they have Ron Atkinson commentating.. i swear he has altcimers.. (not sure how to spell that now). He invents words of his own, messes up existing words and just needs to call it a day and leave well alone from a microphone!

I watched the 2nd half of Paraguay vs South Africa on ITV2.
If that game had been shown on ITV1 there would have been an impossible decision to make, as I believe the game was running late (or is half time just really long?), and so they'd have had to have left the game in the final stages to see the start of the England game (and the ending wasn't exactly boring either). I watched the game end and the players walk off, then when the first advert came on I suddenly twigged and turned back to ITV1, where the England game was already 30 seconds in. What would they have done if they'd tried to run them back to back? Basically, though putting the 2nd half of that game on ITV2 was stupid it could have been worse. In short, they shouldn't have offered to show the game directly before an England game on the most densely-packed fixture day of the whole World Cup. |

The studio stuff on ITV seems false whereas it's easy to imagine the BBC guys behaving just like that over a pint/cuppa/glasses of wine whatever. Lynham tries too hard, defers to Vegetables, and has no idea how to handle Gazza. Lineker, Hanson, Lawrenson made it look so easy. Wrighty stirred things nicely tonight.
ITV - the Saudis of World TV, plenty of oil to grease the vegetables of the world but cr*p at football. |

ITV's pre and post match analysis is crap.They've gone for the usual big name pundits who just talk rubbish.I watched the game and switched over to BBC when it had finished.Gary Lineaker may have his faults but from what i've seen so far BBC wins hands down.

the 'experts' on ITV - McCoist,Neville,Townsend,Venables,Gascoigne and Bobby Robson for England games plus Hasselbaink popping up every now and then with Ron Atkinson,jim beglin (who?) and David Pleat as co-commentators
whereas on BBC - Hansen,Lawrenson,Peter Reid,David O'leary,Martin O'Neill,Ian Wright,Jamie Redknapp (who actually does talk sense) plus Trevor Brooking,Trevor Stevens and Joe Royle as the live co-commentator really the BBC wins hands down |

I have been impressed with Jamie Redknapp, i was expecting him to be just another dumbass footballer, but he isn't. He actually knows what he's talking about and delivers it quite clearly.
Ian Wright is a pleasure to listen to, he says what he feels and not what he thinks he should say. I can never tell if Martin O'Neill and Alan Hanson actually dislike each other or are just having a bit of friendly banter, it's amusing though.
