He's beyond appalling. Sometimes talks himself to a standstill because he just doesn't know what English word to use. Then there's awkward silence. He adds NOTHING.
ITV IS SHIT.

BTW, what is it with those French players and African countries

Thaumagurist*ScottishRoyal To be fair he's better than Adebayor on the BBC. He speaks pigeon English with an accent that can be difficult to understand, and his punditry is limited to stating the bloody obvious.
I LOL'ed at this one, Adegayor, just because he plays for an African country that he once refused to play for cos they weren't paying him enough money.
BTW, what is it with those French players and African countries - They showed Desailly celebrating Ghana's goal and I thought, are you French or what?

LUX of course ITV is shit, but it has not always been so.
Brian Moore and Hugh Johns were my youth. They were charismatic, brilliant.

SealDirk Gently It's quite simple.
Commercial broadcasters exist to deliver viewers to their sponsors, not to deliver quality programming that their viewers want. One might lead to the other, but not always. But as the people who pay them are teh sponsors, and only indirectly the viewing audience, guess who gets the biggest say on a day-to-day basis?
Public service broadcasters exist to deliver quality programming to their viewers.
Not quite that simple.
The worse ITV's coverage, the less viewers they get for games - especially later in the tournament when they go head to head and get trounced by BBC.
Therefore their viewing number are much lower, meaning lowers TVRs, which equals lower value of advertising spot, making them far less attractive for advertisers (and their TV buyers) and ultimately far lower ad revenues.
If the quality of programming was higher they could achieve far greater revenue. It always makes me astonished to see how poor their sport productions are (especially bearing in mind their budgets are comparable to BBC sport).
