Commentary Phil Neville

[9-3]

What a joke, he sings his lines, utter joke BBC

[Goatboy]

P.Neville & M.Owen. Next Season's BT Sport dream team.

[dubai_phil]

Can we swap David Pleat for Adrian Chiles?

 

 

 

 

He REALLY is THAT bad

[Goatboy]

And there we have them. The mogadon triumverate:

Neville, Owen, Pleat.

[Katalinic]

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd prefer an Andy Townsend commentary.

[saintalan]

Thought it was a robot with the volume low.

[Lighthouse]

Couldn't we just give Gazza some MDMA and stick him in a room with an alligator for 15 minutes? Would be far more watchable at half time.

[sandwichsaint]

I'm not missing Lawro one little bit.

[Secret Site Agent]

I enjoyed his commentary.

 

Especialy when he said:

 

Ross Barcklay...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Di Rossi....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Technical area.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........end of the game, zzzzzzzzzzzzt.....SONY..mmmmm,....gherm...mmin the middel...purple monkey dishwasher.

[SaintRobbie]

I did think he was crap. I did shout shut up Phil at the TV a couple of times for his constant monotone drivel

He wasn't crap. He was far worse than that.

[Bearsy]

I thought his tone matched the England performance perfectly

[Professor]

Michael Owen was complaining that when players cheated by diving and simulation, they didn't do it well enough. He should know. Football needs better quality cheating.

[shurlock]

Felt like someone wrote his autocue on a matchbox - the way he kept stopping mid-sentence.

[Graffito]

Poor old Phil. Still being played out of position. Romania wasn't it?

[Bloo71]

He did seem unable to use joined up speaking!

[saint_jas]

****ing dreadful

[Norm]

Dire! Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[OldNick]

He was awful but most are , MLT was poor when he was co commentator a year or so ago

[Isla Wight]

I used the red button & listened to 5 live. Understandably more commentary due to its target audience but at least they knew what they were talking about and were interesting.

[Sheaf Saint]

He sounded like he was reading the shipping forecast

[beatlesaint]

Some poor sucker at the BBC obviously thought "That Gary Neville on Sky is good, i wish we had him.....oh wait a minute, he's got a brother....I know...."

 

Anyone who struggled to stay up that late to watch England would not have been helped by his "you are feeling sleepy" commentary !

[hasper57saint]

I would have given him an F- had he been one of my Students. His monotone regurgitation of the bleeding obvious was c r a p.

[Snopper]

I thought he was auditioning for Jamaica Inn.....

"Phil v1.0" - the freeware version of the Neville commentator-software family.

[Fan The Flames]

It was like having to suffer watching the football with your mates idiot teenager.

Thank you for helping me to lol off the hangover. "like"

[Dalek2003]

Well put 5 live on at the same time.

There has been a downgrade, it is now Phillip v1.0. No longer Phil.

[Whitey Grandad]

Wasn't he included in that famous documentary about Graham Taylor? Even then he didn't appear to be the slickest tongue in the speaking world.

[terrasaint]

What a joke, he sings his lines, utter joke BBC[/QUOT

 

Yes he mumbles on with a complete absence of proper grammar. I know he is an ex footballer but he eventually becomes painful to listen to!

[eelpie]

I'm not missing Lawro one little bit.

 

If you like cliche, cliche, cliche, cliche, cliche, cliche, cliche cliche, cliche,cliche...........zzzzzzzz

 

And you think the BBC commentary was boring?!

 

Actually I quite liked the BBC's deadpan observations. The BBC tried to let the game speak for itself fairly well without ITV's over the top, cringely irritating 'listen to me, i'm the witty Lawro the Great with more of my clever cliche's.

Lawro works for BBC.

sorry of course - my typo

[hutch]

Where's that link to the "bring back Gabby" campaign gone?

[Bearsy]

"The BBC recognise that the near continuous droning noise experienced during last night's England match caused annoyance and discomfort to many viewers. We are examining the possibility of filtering the noise from future broadcasts."

[It's There]

I don't normally slate anyone, but he was terrible- whoever thought he could co-commentate needs to be well and truly challenged about this role! I don't blame him, but the people who assigned him to the role!

[John Boy Saint]

Strange really as I listened to him on the radio the other night and thought he came across well, can't say I noticed him last night. I guess I am so use to be sitting at SMS with some bellend spouting complete cobblers within earshot for 80 of 90 minutes, I guess my clap-trap-chit-chat filter must be getting quite refined.

[Wade Garrett]

On the plus side, Rio Ferdinand has been brilliant.

 

BBC much better than that amateur sh*t on ITV.

I like ITV's amateurism -Wrighty dancing with the Argies. Hoddle/Poyet are also more insightful than any of the pundits on the Beeb. But the general quality is more consistent on the Beeb.

[CB Fry]

ITV is basically all the pundits from previous BBC tournaments. They're okay and they've been much worse as anyone who can remember Matthew Lorenzo will testify.

Glad I stuck with that until the last seconds. Nice one Butch Wilkins!

[shurlock]

 

Brilliant

 

Nice Jason Statham does Inspector Gadget look to boot.

Good call. I might do that for the next decent game

[angelman]

Rather than a new thread............Jonathan Pearce is probably the best so far (even dragging along Keown). What I really hate is when commentators feel they have to say something rather than have a quiet period. When that happens, invariably they speak complete bullocks. Pearce tends to speak a lot lot less bullocks than most.

[Dr Who?]

I quite liked Larros co-cometary, he was always a little sarcastic.

[Whitey Grandad]

He may have been a c**t but he's our c**t now

You're joking?

 

Pearce is unbelievably annoying. Managed to make Martin Keown sound intelligent tonight.
