Why does fox soccer channel insist on having such poor commentators such as Nick Webster and the other Amaericans – they are poor, they are amateurs. Hey you need ot watch out for ESPN – take a look at how the y do it – some tips – they use the international feed, they show prematch such as walk out onto the pitch, they show national anthems (why do you not show this its the most interesting part of internationals). I am sitting here and have almost switched off the sound. Nick is completely useless, its clear he is not even at the game. Come on guys do yourself better – we heard the international feed at the start then it was replaced with Nick. We dont want ot hear this shoddy American voices (English in Nicks case). You need ot wake up or you will never be a major channel – thank goodness for ESPN the yhave HD, they have great commentators and they cut over when the players are in the tunnel .They don’t overlay huges team sheets over the whole screen with silly music. Wakey wakey touo

Obviously FSC has a deal with TWI since they are the producers of the Preview and Review Show. I know for sure we have had Tyler call games on FSC before.

Does he post anywhere where he will be calling games for the coming weekend when he finds out his assignment or is there a place on the net that posts the commentary pairs? And is it just me or has Tyler in the past called games solo without a color guy in the booth?

Oh and Gaffer if you get Dermott from FSC back on the interview podcast again ask a follow up about getting the old episodes of the Highlight Show as filler programming? He seemed interested in the idea when you brought that up last year………………….

Why does FSC pick up the TWI feed? Aren’t Fox and Sky owned by the same corporation? After a summer with Andy Gray (not to mention his voice on the FIFA game) he’s really my preferred color guy.

CFTV,

Super Sunday + from Fox wasn’t too bad. Main criticism is that the blokes are now wearing suits. What pub do you go to where punters wear suits? This ain’t South Beach!

Rest of the coverage was OK. Interesting to hear that Gary Richards predicts Mark Hughes will get the sack and David Moyes will be leaving soon. Much too early to be making predictions like that, I believe.

Cheers,
The Gaffer

Did you see their games on Sunday? I thought the Newcastle – Man United stalemate and the Villa thrashing of Man City both very enjoyable and entertaining. 7 minute hat trick from Agbonlahor! I kinda agree with you on the dumbing down thing, but I thought they showed some great football on Sunday.
