Robbie Earle sacked as pundit

[Mike.]

Zebedee, you are utterly wasted on this forum, why cant you work for Itv? can you imagine any of that coming from gareth southgate?

 

[Irish Scouse]

I think an official petition to replace him with Richard O'Brien is in order now.


35-40 tickets? Shame that all the S.Africans ect. could miss out because of stuff like that.

Southgate's been decent so far I think.

Bring back Leonardo on the BBC for Adebayor.

Also remove McCarthy, Beglin, Coleman and Keown from commentating duty please.

EDIT

Apparently Earle gave his tickets to these lot;

Who's doing the commentary on ITV for the Brazil vs North Korea match?

Best I've heard on tv for years. Seriously - proper insight into the game.

Cheers. Didn't realise there was a matchday thread and asked there too.

Loving the Coleman analysis about pushing up the fullbacks for Brazil. Hoping he expands on why they need to do it in the second-half (ie that Brazil's 'wingers' go inside a lot so pushing them out wide not only denies them a clear run on goal and isolates Fabiano but also denies the space to the attacking fullbacks so well played North Korea tactically).

Was a pleasant surprise to hear him doing a proper job after slagging off pundits in this thread <)

its jon champion and craig burley for honduras - chile tomorrow

From Twitter, proper WC pundit.

@mirkobolesan I like to think Roy Hodgson, angered by the punditry of the tournament so far, has hitchhiked to South Africa to take over proceedings.

@twoht Roy Hodgson has spoken more sense in the last 45 seconds than anyone else on the BBC's World Cup coverage has managed in the last 6 days.

@Klobo7 BBC have out-trumped ITV by a long long way! Roy Hodgson vs Andy Townsend? I know whos opinion I respect more!

@jrdgoal Roy Hodgson is the only Englishman worth properly listening to in football. I had expected as much and he duly delivered. An excellent man.

@coleser I could have cried salt tears of joy when I realised the BBC's pundits were Roy Hodgson and Clarence Seedorf. Intelligent. Quality.

@si1990 Whether Roy Hodgson comes to Liverpool or not, I will always have the utmost respect for him. What a guy

@back_of_the_net And a salute to Roy Hodgson, far too much of a gent to gyrate his crotch in Shearer's face, saying "I relegated you in '09." Pity.

@paddyhoey Roy Hodgson even has time for mature comments on the young South African government. What a man

@Ita99 Dear Universe, Please would you make it possible for Roy Hodgson to adopt me. Love, Ita. *waits*

@kpunkworldcup Roy Hodgson sounds like a minor Dickens character who has inexplicably made it into the 21st century

@spanielapplause On the other hand...Roy Hodgson - the anti-Shearer. Bless you, Croydon's finest.

@rosentweets Roy Hodgson has kindly gone on television and confirmed recent media hysteria that he is a very astute football chap.

@astroboh Ah, Roy Hodgson. Proper football manager and pundit. Shows up Shearer for the dull, brainless lamppost he is.

@teletextpage152 Roy Hodgson got a bit deep there, glad Shearer cut him off otherwise we might have got proper analysis.

@garethcopley BBC kick ITV while they are down with top trump panelist Roy Hodgson.

@Rashbrook Roy Hodgson is a wise owl of a pundit, whereas Alan Shearer is a dull human.

@tom_marzipan Shearer MUST stop interrupting Roy Hodgson's insightful comments or he will die in an inexplicable accident tomorrow

Sensed something coming from this thread... had to be ******* <)
