Do we really need 4 talking heads in the studio explaining to us what will /might /should happen in each event and then telling what went right /wrong.
How many commentators do the bbc need in France?,considering it is forever bleating about not having enough money

Not watched any of it, so not bothered.

Bring back normal BBC, which is also crap and not worth the licence fee....

Before Television, there used to be one and the same commentator for the full ninety minutes of a football match.

It made very interesting and entertaining listening.

Now you have three or four "pundits" trying to explain what will happen before the game. And the same people trying to explain why
things didn't happened as planned.

This is one reason I don't watch much sport on TV.

We’ve been flicking between RTE (the Irish station), BBC and Eurosport. At times we’ve been shouting at presenters to shut up! Why do they feel the need to fill every little silence :roll:

This drives me nuts too!
I was watching the cricket the other day and half the time the pundits were laughing and talking among themselves, discussing their own careers (even showing a clip of one of them) and generally talking at great length about anything other than what was going on!

On another occasion they were talking about something else right through the bowler bowling and the batsman playing a shot.

It's incessant; they never shut up. It's like any silence has to be filled, even if it is filled with inane jabber.
