3 minutes in, realising it was "The Motty and Lawro Show" again I made full use of the BBCi service for the first time and switched to the Radio 5 commentary. Two relatively unknown commentators and Martin Jol as the expert, who was excellent, very straight talking and took no pish off the two commentators. If they said something he disagreed with then he said so, straight out, no snidey talk.
It was a bit different in that they had to describe what was actually happening on the pitch for radio listeners therefore you actually had commentary on the game and not....well you know what Motty likes to talk about.
Last nights Italy Ghana game was the last straw for me and Motty, would rather have it muted than listen to him again. He had a hardon for Steven Appiah for most of first half and actually seemed to think Ghana were the better side. They did ok for first 20 mins or so but Italy were pretty much in control from then onwards.
Lawrenson doesn't help in that he has a very annoying squeaky voice, the sort of pitch that only dogs can actually hear. If only that was actually the case we would all be happy.
Switched back to
BBC at the very end to hear what panel had to say and the first thing I hear is Alan Hansen saying "Well that was just like England"...............FUCK OFF!!
He really is a traiterous cunt as well, harping on at Saturdays game about how it made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you feel proud to see the Frankfurt stadium bedecked in St George's Crosses......aye, it may well do so if your English and to be fair to England they did have a great support across there but Hansen is supposed to be Scottish, the fucking arse.
Rant over, time for some prozac and bed.

- also getting all French on the commentators ass and describing a particular performance(can't remember what) as a 'Debut Catastrophique' - still in a thick Yorkshire accent
