Super Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Bombed out by ITV. Seems to be a thing at the moment to get rid of the old boys and bring in younger people. Not a fan of Matterface tbh. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news/clive-tyldesley-itv-commentary-twitter-response-sam-matterface-a9617711.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Out with the old in with the young I’m afraid. I love watching test cricket and they got rid of exceptional commentators and replaced them with average at best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Commentators are a particular bug bear of mine. The way they talk is so bloody annoying! The worst is Peter Drury! Here are a couple of bizarre sentences that lodged in my mind a few weeks ago: "Those kind of shots always come with a high difficulty tarriff" Huh? What?! There's a tariff? Just tell us it's difficult. "[That shot] was pitching at the point of maximum inconvenience..." Just say it bounces just in front of the keeper and don't riddle me this, riddle me that, you oddball! Football is the game of the people, and I hate it when we're spoken at by posh 1950s BBC style commentators or weird Dickensian wordsmiths.

Spud55 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Not a big fan of Matrerface, but I cannot stand Tyldesley and his incessant need to witter about anything other than what is going on in front of him. Never been more inclined to watch football in silence than when that person I disagree with and Townsend were on commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Can't stand his commentary, so not at all disappointed. Never watch ITV given a chance. He's done the job since 1998....22 years...decent innings I'd have thought. Wouldn't have thought you'd have much to complain about when someone comes and tells you your time is up.

LondonBristolian Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Never been a fan of Tyldesley, although I warmed to him when he commentated on his wife making a spaghetti bolognese during lockdown. It does like he has been a bit shabbily treated though - not so much in the decision itself but in the sense that he seems to be applying he's not been given a clear explanation.

SuperDziek Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, like him or loathe him, it’s a shambolic way to treat someone after that amount of time. I know if I was being demoted, I’d want an explanation why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 His video statement is really odd as well, basically slagging off ITV for their decision and then saying he’ll stay on as the number two....maybe he won’t when they see his video! Feel for him some what but in that sort of industry it’s pretty common to change things like that up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having heard first-hand plenty of on-air media folk complaining about contracts ending, and having see the piece he's recorded, I'd conclude that it's the decision he doesn't like - not the way it was delivered. The way of getting some sympathy in such circumstances is to imply poor treatment. As he says himself in his piece on twitter, he's known for weeks. ITV will want a new commentator to come in and establish themselves ahead of the next major tournament. Given that Tyldesley would presumably have been commentating on Euro 2020, and is now 65, I would imagine it had always been the plan to change the guard. It's not a job for life!

exAtyeoMax Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I was always a fan of the old school types, Brian Moore, Motty, and those whose names I can't remember… like it's been said, the one's you don't notice. Sorry he's lost his job but I wasn't a fan of his nonsense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 For me there isn't enough newer, younger commentators, pundits & presenters coming through, for so long it always seems to be the same voices & faces involved around sport. Its like they make into the inner circle then lock the door behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to play a game when watching a match at the Euros/World Cup to see how long it was before he mentioned someone on the pitch had been linked to Manchester United. Invariably it was within the first 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
