Eco Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 ITV look strong this year with Chiles leading Dixon, Cannavaro, Viera, Hod, Wrighty & Strachers. BBC not bad with Captain Lineker, Hansen, Savarge, Shearer, that slicko Brazilian, Murphy and a couple of others who I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Adrian Chiles just makes me cringe, you get the feeling he just doesn't really know what he's talking about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Take chiles and wright out of the itv coverage and it might be semi bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I agree with everybody except Eco, Chiles is an appalling presenter. not fit for the west match back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I cant believe ITV persist with Chiles. A truly dreadful presenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilC Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I find it really disappointing the opening match of the world cup is being shown on ITV to be honest. I would much rather have seen the TV coverage on the BBC tonight. Even though there are many issues surrounding the BBC, in my view, I definitely prefer their football coverage over ITV. So tonight, I feel a bit robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiles is clueless, Wright is a tit and Cannavaro can't speak English. They'd have done better trawling the pubs for pundits. Only Dixon is worth his salt. BBC not much better, Shearer blander than beige. They should get Seedorf back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 OK, I'll bite. You never use any BBC services? Thats a poor arguement. A better question would be "Would you forgo any BBC services" which would be yes, as I only use them once every two years for international football! Im sure some people find the BBC valuable I don't and don't see why in 2014 I have to pay for something I don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Not an itv fan either. They never seem to learn from past mistakes, and Chiles is terrible. Surely there has to be better out there. There is quite a skill to live tv but he just makes it look so painful. He always seems irritated to me, which makes me irritated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but it's a public service I don't particularly want to pay for nuclear subs, our lads being in Afghanistan, bailing out greedy bankers, etc - but there you go. It's to some extent a "public good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
