Cowen and Dublin

[King Richard]

They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)

Just talked absolute fucking drivel the whole game with the insight of two Sunday league players

Is this what the BBC have come to?

 

[ssblue]

It wasn't Vicky Sparks.

It was Robyn Cowen.

 

[King Richard]

It wasn't Vicky Sparks.

It was Robyn Cowen.

So it was. Got the two mixed up.As bad as each other

 

[Delboy1962]

Sparks you say

 

[The Royal Standard]

It was truly awful .

Topped off with this gem after Poland scored their penalty late on .

“ Poland finally score but it won’t effect the scoreline”

 

[remembertheepoch]

i have had to watch the bbc commentary with the sound off. really bad. itv has been better imo

 

[ferguson]

Loved it when Dion said Lewandowski should just run up and strike it at the pen re-take. Isn't that what all penalty takers do -- run up and strike it?

 

[hambear]

They were absolutely rotten.

 

[eeboh]

It was truly awful .

“ Poland finally score but it won’t effect the scoreline”

I was glad they told us all that, would never have realised otherwise...

 

[Johnny Yen]

It was dreadful, her voice was absolutely brutal, Dublin was horrendous too.

 

[Dr Huffhurrrr]

Sparks you say

That commentary made me TURN TO DUST

 

[Killer Bob]

She said at one point ..... "a period of composed possesssion for Poland" .... when France were clearly allowing them to have the ball and waiting to hit on the break. No idea.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Posted on another thread that he said “ he has that in his lockup” think he meant “locker”

 

[King Richard]

I'm sure one of the greatest strikers of the last 20 years will take onboard the advice given to him by a cart horse like Dion Dublin

 

[UnionBear]

Was dreadful.

 

[Simply a Bear]

Someone phone Dublin, ask him to view their house.

 

[strathavenbear]

It's bad when listening to Sutton on 5live is the better option.

 

[CooperBlue]

They were terrible, if you watch on the iplayer you can choose the Radio 5live commentary instead.

 

[Broom-loneranger]

Dublin said something along the lines of MBappe has everything in his locker to do big things in football.

What, like win the World cup ya plank?

 

[JRei23]

The way she pronounced Greizmann gave me the heave

 

[borderbluenose]

Thank Feck watching in Spain Casillas Iniesta only issue they tals in Spainish!

 

[shrewed wullie cf2]

Mens World Cup ,being ruined by , well I’m sure I’m not only one not having volume on during games, not watching build up or half time or after final whistle

Diversity over quality

Always thought Dion was a poor pundit tbh.

Have you heard Danny Murphy?

Ticks the boxes

 

[ibroxbound]

Some do but some like to perform a dance move before striking the ball

 

[uml]

Have to say it was beyond shocking. At one point we learned that France were rubbish at the back. The level of enthusiasm as well for some tremendous play was pitiful.
It isn’t diversity that is the fault. It’s the BBC.

 

[govan86]

Brutal

 

[King Richard]

Have you heard Danny Murphy?

Dublin and Cowen make Danny Murphy sound like Clive Tyldesley

 

[devilman]

Terrible pundits. Then again, out with Clive and Ally they've all been honking.

 

[Clearview]

Sparks you say

They made it seem like Amateur Hour.

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Glad it wasn’t just me then, it was brutal .

 

[Ray Von]

Is she the one that sounds like she's squeezing out a dump when she shouts?

 

[Grumpy Old Git]

Sparks you say

This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.

 

[SDR]

Sparks you say

Amateur hour
Goes on and on...

 

[gersfan52]

The way she pronounced Greizmann gave me the heave

Also the way she pronounced Senegal.

 

[Erik Bo Selecta Anderson]

BBC will no doubt give her the final so they can win the “first female World Cup final commentator” award

 

[W 2]

 

[Coisty09]

They were terrible but ITV have a complete thick waste of space Karen Carney as a supposed expert.
It is beyond belief that somebody as dense as her can get such a gig.
She makes Dion Dublin sound like Guardiola!!

 

[Karky Madoolla]

Dublin should go back to Can’t cook, won’t cook.

 

[Thasunke Witko]

It was that bad I didn’t just turn the tv off after 5 minutes listening to them, I turned myself off and went for a nap, they are awful commentators, BBC have been terrible this World Cup.

 

[Amadaeus]

Edit

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

Most of the female pundits and commentators are only there for box ticking reasons.

Just talk one power of nonsense and the reality is the level they’ve played at is the equivalent of a Saturday morning pub league.

That said some of the males are awful too. Dublin, Hartson, Murphy to name some

 

[Ataturk]

Matterface and Dixon on ITV.

Awful, awful, awful.

 

[bud_light]

BBC are embarrassing themselves with their commentators and experts at this world cup.
They would be better not even bothering.
A special mention though to ITV with Carney and Aluko.
Jesus wept

 

[Div1872]

The two of them were as boring as feck

Really don’t like women commenting on football

Sorry if that’s sexist but the current batch are absolutely garbage and spoiling the coverage just to get the diversity stats up

 

[Loud and proud]

Women spoil football….there, I’ve said it.

 

[inigo]

She said " it won't effect the scoreline " after Poland scored.
