Just read that Clive Tyldesley has been axed by ITV and his last game on commentary will be the last 16 game between Germany & Denmark.

At a time where there are more and more (poor, imo) female commentators creeping in to the men's game, I find this a bit baffling. I actually didn't mind listening to Clive and actually really enjoyed his rapport with McCoist.

Find this a bit sad if I'm honest.

I totally agree. Tyldesley is a very good commentator and I hope Sky Sports sign him up for this season PL or EFL season

The women pundits and presenters are turning up everywhere. I know it is 2024 but they are getting the gigs for PC reasons rather than credentials / insightful knowledge and it is bloody annoying.

I am on holiday in Wales for a week, better not cheer to loud if England score on Sunday. Up the Rovers!!!!

I always turn the sound off irrespective of who is commentating. I can’t be doing with any of them telling me what is obvious. None of them are particularly insightful.

It's when they say something which is the opposite of what I've just seen or just a biased fib that they lose me.

I only turn the sound off or more usually search another source when Murphy is on. It's just background noise anyway.

Yep! Danny Murphy is bloody awful! Pair that with a female commentator & I'm done!

I'm not sexist at all, but there's something not right about a female commentator on the men's game. 

I expect a ban here btw & if so then it is what it is.

Look forward to England game tomorrow. 

My team would be for tomorrow game

               Pickford 

Walker Stones Guehi Shaw 

         Bellingham Rice

Around 30,000 England fans are starting to arrive in Dusseldorf for the clash with Slovakia on Sunday. Nobody seems to be writing about the impeccable behaviour of the travelling hordes, even the gutter press have packed up the SLR Cameras and returned home to chase ambulances.

We have the best fans in the world, its time for this England side to step up and make this nation proud.

Come on England.

 

[roverandout]

Can't beat Brian Moore. The best commentator ever

But no no the jocks are the best fans ever because they wear skirts and drink lots of alcohol

They only wear skirts because they're not at the tournament long enough to warrant a change of underwear 

[Lancaster Rover]

My problem with women is the same as say a league 2 player commentating. They’ve not played the game at a comparable level and thus their experience doesn’t transfer

Going on that theme.  What do Scotland and a teabag have in common? Neither are in the cup that long

Don Goodman is one of the best commentators in the game.

[RevidgeBlue]

On England I'm finding it extremely distasteful that Southgate has created the narrative that it's the fans fault the players aren't performing because they are putting them under too much pressure and making them perform in a "strange" environment.

Nice guy my arse.
