      Getting the pronounce and names wrong is one thing. But when the commentators have no idea what they are talking about, be the game going on, history/facts or just the "essence" of football (silly expression, i know!) - THATS what i cant stand :f_steam:

      The commentary for the Liverpool games lately have been diabolical.

      I watch the games on Supersport from South Africaand we get the international feed meaning the commentators are usually SKY for the EPL and ITV for the cup matches (I assume). Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching the same game as them!!

      I dunno if its just me being a biased liverpool fan. Just wandaring if I have any one else feels the same...

      "Are Liverpool playing for draw here?" - ITV commentators when we played Reading.

      Got to ignore them. Some of them can be ok, (the Setanta/ESPN guys are actually very good) but ITV and Sky are usually shocking. ITV especially.

      I don't hear Sky or ITV but ESPN with Craig Burley is F***ing annoying. The c**t just hacks us down!

      Martin "the wish is the father of the thought' Tyler bugs me, "Macccchhheeeeeda" c**t. Him doing scum games is ridiculous, just pass him the tissues at kickoff and hear him go.

      The best thing to do with commentators is kill the sound on the TV. You can see what they see and can make a better judgement than their biased take on events,the only pundit worth listening to is Alan Hansen.

      To be fair. I've had Martin Tyler's commentary for decades and he is clearly the best.

      Yes he does go nuts over the scum, but many a time he has had an orgasm over Stevie G's pearlers. I think he is the most unbiased commentator out there.

      Pleat is as dull as dog sh*t and detracts from the game. Retire already shithead!

      Is that a euphemism for redefining the target? or have you been hitting the amber nectar again?

      Sky should add an audio option where you can just listen to the sounds of the game and not commentators or anything. Id get that on surround sound with the volume right up.

      You might as well add your own mate,the sound you hear on recorded games is a mish mash of crowd noise anyway
      For live games any background noise is an improvement on the commentary drivel.

      The best option.
