Phil Liggett and his mate

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

IMO, the best commentary/analysis on the 2012 Tour came when ITV covered the entire stage, with Boardman, Rendell and Imlach providing the voiceovers prior to Liggett and Sherwen going 'live'.

There is nothing to stop ITV having their own commentators - they have a good stable of them - and dropping the International feed provided by Liggett and Sherwen.

For the first time ever I am considering finding out the cheapest way of getting Eurosport on my TV - I cannot get live online feed due to shockingly poor broadband speeds - just so I do not have to listen to the simpering cockwombles.

Available on Virgin Media packages and soon enough on BT Vision (which imo is superior) may be a cheaper option than SKY, I'm not 100%

I don't get BT Vision either . I'm sure Virgin media will be off limits as well if BT Vision is.

You just need a younger, fitter broadband provider, Noodles..

I don't listen to any of them so can't comment, but just out of interest, have any of you tried to provide commentary? I have twice, once as co-commentator at a motorcycle race meeting and once during a cycling history parade at a major festival. It aint easy! And when you have an ear piece in with production staffl talking to you pretty much all the time - it's even harder!

 

[Noodley]

I could't give a toss if it's easy or not, it's the fact that he has no credibility

Yeah, yeah but the twats are so far up Armstrong's arse it's embarrassing and the fact that Armstrong's an investor in Sherwen's mine is the issue here.

Man, the plasterer did a shoot job of my living room wall, but it's okay, plastering isn't as easy as it looks!

Man, the plasterer did a s*** job of my living room wall, but it's okay, tiling isn't as easy as it looks!

^^Totally irrelevant post^^

I WAS COMMENTING ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT MISTAKES AND POINTING OUT THAT IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT JOB TO DO.

The easy part would be identifying that Lance was not Cancer Jesus.

So what? If my plasterer leaves my living room wall a mess, does the fact that plastering is not as easy as it looks excuse the shoddy job and also forbid anyone from commenting on the state of it?

Point being (incase you are still not getting it), you hire someone with the skills to complete the job in question to the required standard. If they can't do so, then the job being difficult does not excuse their lack of adequacy.

Pardon?

Isn't s case that all commentators have to be " politicaly correct" nowadays otherwise their contract is not renewed. I am afraid it is the sad world we live in. All commentators are.controlled by their masters who decide their paycheque and their future.
