    Fuppin hell, RTE you fcuk wits! Did anyone else watch the game delayed on Sky+?

    Long and short of it, RTE didn't update their EPG info (most broadcasters do) when the game went into extra time, so the recording stopped just as Anderson was walking up for his pen!

    BBC, Sky, ITV, they all update the EPG info if a game goes into extra time so that the aforementioned doesn't occurs, but the geniuses at RTE are too busy licking Pat Kenny's gouche.

    After all the drama and tension of the night, I was reduced to teletext for the result, boo-fcuking-urns.

    Ouch man. Hate that. Maybe you should write to RTE about it. See if they have anything to say for themselves!

    Sure I would only get the usual generic drivel 'We appreciate you writing........we are currently looking into it...........yada yada yada'

    He's both. He commentates on EVERY big game on Sky (which is every week cos Sky build up whatevers on Super Sunday as the biggest event ever - how many grand slam sundays did they have this year..kinda made me sick that they have that power)


    Gray commentated tonight. i consider him a commentator (with a pro Pool and chslea bias) and a pundit (who relies too much on technology to the poitn where I really dont care that if u slow it down to super-bitchin-slow-mo u can see the guy scratched his arse with the wrong hand at the end of the day...joke.

    As a Liverpool supporter i cant fricking stand Clive tyldsley. man he is such an ass, he will replace his "that fateful night in Barcelona" with some reference about Moscow now for the next 10 years.
    But hey, deep down we would all love his or Andy Grays job, getting paid to watch football, regardless of who hates you must be good!

    I'd have preferred to watch the game on RTE, but had to switch over after about 20 mins to ITV.
    George Hamilton does my head in with his "free in"'s and "lead goal"'s & his general lack of knowledge & ability to convey, let alone create, excitement.

    Houghton would make a manic depressive sound optimistic, always talks in negatives & has a voice to match.

    You know what you'll get with Clive Tilsley on ITV, flaws & all. Who was his co-commentator last night? He was kinda annoying too!

    I believe it was David Pleat. If there could ever be an award for most pointless pundit ever he'd be a serious contender. Bores the arse off me.

    Same thing happened with Sky and ITV last night. So it wasn't just RTÉ.
