BBC or ITV for the Final

[Grrreds]

BBC - Lineker, Shearer, Lampard, Ferdinand with Mowbray and Jenas commentating
ITV - Pougatch, Keane, Wright, Neville with Matterface and Dixon commentating

Unusually for me I'm thinking of sticking with ITV (quick turn over during their many adverts). I particularly like Keane and Neville's contributions.

 

[HarryVegas]

BBC all the way.

 

[Grrreds]

Despite what I've posted, no doubt I'll default to BBC as well.

Itv for buildup and reaction and BBC for the game

Matterface has been a calamity. You just know he will have his Kenneth Wolstenholme speech ready for his immortality and it will be as totally inapropriate as his semi final guff at the end. And as instantly forgotten as itv in 1966.

The bit that did it for me was when Denmark went down to 10 he kept saying a member of staff rather than who the player was.

Terrible bbc pundit lineup might make me switch to itv for the pre match, halt time and maybe post match - result depending - but definitely BBC coverage of the match itself.

Would have preferred to see Klinsman and Richards in there instead of Lampard and ferdinand.

Plus the guff at the beginning about turbulence and fasten your seatbelts and the desparate plea at the end to watch the final on ITV. Dreadful scripted rehearsed nonsense.

BBC

 

[Kowalski]

BBC, with 5 Live commentary on the red button.

 

[WoodallServices]

I’m surprised you had to ask the question.

 

[McBrid]

Will watch it on the BBC. Might record it on ITV and watch it back on there if we win

 

[fella]

As much as I like Neville, I'll be BBC all the way. Can't deal with the adverts.

That’s my strategy right there.

BBC commentary is miles ahead of the car crash that is Sam Shaddap Your Face, and that’s before you factor in ad breaks, etc. I do like Keane and Neville though, so will record them and watch back afterwards (if we win).

 

[BobUpnDown]

BBC, with 5 Live commentary on the red button.

problem with the red button option is the picture quality is so poor...

if there is no delay I may go 5 live radio & TV

I know that was utterly bizarre. I wasn't sure if the anonymous injured player ever returned to the field of play. It was as if he was getting his speech ready, which he delivered before the final whistle. What if Denmark had equalised?

I thought when he was banging on about the member of staff i thought he was talking about the kit man or something

 

[BoroGold]

BB no Brainer, for the game, with ITV for the Punditry.

 

[Steer]

BBC. I dont mind Jenas.

Not listening the build up and the half time stuff anyway, so all the rest of teh pundits are irrelevant.

 

[Beverleyred]

I’m surprised Matterface has got the ITV gig, I always thought their main man was Clive Tyldesley
