Peter Drury & David Pleat ............

[GlasgowBandit]

Have you ever heard so much piss spoken in 90 minutes of football commentary!!??

Pleat says "its a 4 - 2 - 3 for the USA"  Really with 9 men??

Drury "Equalizer"  when it was 1 - 1 surely another goal would have made it 2 -1?

Pleat "Thats ironic the big centre half who made so many challeneges clearing the ball"  Wheres the irony?

Drury "Perrotta is still off the field its 9 versus 9" 20 seconds previously the cammera shows you Perrotta sprint back on Drury says "Ohh in fact Perrotta just hobbles back on"

There are so many more instances of total piss talk!!  Never have I heard such nonsense and England never even got a mention in it all, ITV really need to do something with their sports department. 

Bring back Big Ron!!!

Drury getting it wrong with the equaliser says it all.

ITV= lame

Peter Drury was a fantastic R5L radio commentator recruited by his former boss Brian Barwick when he was Head of Sport at ITV. He's far better on radio.

Pleat...no salvation whatsoever...a World cup or three too far for the back of Jaguar, brown shoes dancing at Man city past it football manager

[turny]

david pleat must be the worst co-commentator or summariser on tv imo

[Nem]

Peter Drury was so bad, I thought it was Clive Tyldesley

[TightEnd]

Nothing is as bad as this

why is it after years of watching sky do football so much better than them do bbc and itv still lag miles behind in the football coverage stakes?

[TightEnd]

Now personally whilst ITV are horrible I far prefer the bbc to sky...


sky


too much hyperbole of a mediocre product

andy gray...nah, terrible to listen to

martin tyler..nah, terrible

richard keys, horrific

[turny]

andy gray is god!

i meant coverage in general, camera angles,speed of replays and summarising etc


sky different gravy imo

[TightEnd]

agreed on the sky production values


but of course itv and bbc are relying on German tv pictures, not a lot they can do about that!


andy gray...agree to disagree!

I agree totally, Mr End.

I do somewhat agree with ITB, with all the camera angles, stats and info etc...

But the above is to do with money, which the BBC haven't got. Even Steve Ryder has left the BBC for ITV!

[TightEnd]

to be pedantic for a moment, Rider left for ITV because he runs a successsful motor racing company connected with F1. He left (even giving up his second love..Golf coverage) because the success of his company (management contracts for F1 personnel) required his presence on the F1 circuit

He actually hates football, look carefully when he anchors the coverage and even though he's a consummate professional you'll spot it!
