David Moyes speaks well imo .
Bbc doing a great job at keeping us informed on what's happening with England. Another update following on from a small segment at half time
In Germany does STV and bbc have Scottish coverage for our games
No - they have some similar points, but all are really quite different, not least of all the Scotland one which has a pattern that is totally unique.Quote:

Back-to-back horrendous commentators. Total pish coverage today.
Controversial opinion incoming…but women commentators on the men’s game just isn’t for me.
The two we’ve had today are very, very poor.Quote:

Best British commentator by a long shot. I think he’s really good.Quote:

Nothing against them as such, but tge one on the earlier game, her voice was just grating on the ears, volume quickly turned down.Quote:

Barry Davies, Motson, Martin Tyler, even the more peripheral ones were great.
Watching the game here, I don’t even know who she is - but she seems perfectly acceptable to me, not grinding my gears like the men so often do.
Slovenia have deserved that equaliser
Definitely agree, but thought we might not be allowed to say that 🙄Quote:

People are free to have that opinion if they like. I'm genuinely intrigued as to why you don't like it though?Quote:

Is it just the sound of the female voice that annoys you?
I can understand to a certain degree the discussion around having female pundits in the studio as they haven't played the game at anywhere near the same standard or levels of pressure that guys like Keane, Neville ect. I can see the argument around the fact due to that they are unable to offer the same level of insight. That doesn't apply to commenting on a game though.
For me, in commentary, it’s the voice.Quote:

If it stays like this , Serbia could go top of the group tonight :greengrin
That's fair enough, as I said everyone is entitled to an opinion.Quote:

They did but have to say England will have no trouble topping the group if they play their A game.Quote:
