CL Final: ITV or Sky?

Red Devil 26 · 6th May 2008, 18:54

For those of us not fortunate enough to make the trip to Moscow, which coverage will you be watching?

General build-up and punditry seems better on Sky, but as far as commentary goes, I'll never be able to forget Clive Tydlesley in 99, although David Pleat's a moron so it kind of balances out.

Not sure at the moment, so what's it to be?

Im goin for Sky. They seem to have the whole package these days. Fantastic pre match coverage, good commentry, etc.

VanTheMan10 · 6th May 2008, 18:56

Unless i win the lottery within the next 2 weeks then i'll be watching the build up on Sky, but then over to ITV for the match.

ITV seems to work in our favour... not that i'm supersticious or anything.

032Devil · 6th May 2008, 18:57

ITV screwed up the post-game broadcast back in 1999 with badly timed commercial breaks.

That's what I've been contemplating too.

RedKaos · 6th May 2008, 18:58

Ill be following the general trend, build up on Sky, match on ITV.

Yup, same here, unless I make it up to Manchester for it, in which case I'll be watching it on whatever channel the Bishops is showing it on.

Whatever they have on in the pub (Hopefully ITV though)

Wes · 6th May 2008, 19:00

RTE.

I'll enjoy these fags eating their words

Eamonn Dunphy On Christiano Ronaldo:

"The way Ronaldo "clicks his heels", is the most wicked thing in the game. A simple cheat. Poof ball"

Spot on.

I would rather not hear bias commentary come out of Andy Gray's mouth either.

They'll spend at least 20minutes going on about how if Ronaldo doesn't do it now, he'll be consigned to poof ball status forever, and then he'll score a hattrick, probably.

I imagine they'll have to eat their words regarding Ferguson as well, the twats.

Enjoying seeing Giles, Chippy and Bantered sausage admitting that Arsenal have no balls over the last couple of matches, though.

pert · 6th May 2008, 19:11

Sky will probably have Rednapp there, he's a cunt in my eyes

ITV it is

brophs · 6th May 2008, 19:12

RTE for me too.

I dont think I'll ever forget after the pool arse match the way he wound Brady up. Absolutely priceless. Brady was full ready to walk off

Not after he slated Mascherano while that cunt Gray was stickin up for him.

KeyserSoze · 6th May 2008, 19:15

ITV. Redknapp is a cnut.

my brother was telling me about that. Siad Dunphy had a grin on him the size of his last credit card bill. sounded hilarious.

Chippy's a humourless ol fella anyway.

Commentary wins it for me, Red Clive epic speech v Martin Tyler occasionly moaning in between his naps.

Thats a good point actually, is Red Clive definitly doing it? Hopefully Jim Beglin as well. If that cunt Townsend is on, forget it.

Crustanoid · 6th May 2008, 19:23

Have ITV got rights? I heard it was only on Sky this year

gh78 · 6th May 2008, 19:23

Sky, I don't like the commentators on ITV. It could be David Pleat who still pronounces Henry as the english first name.

I agree I really hope its him doing the game on ITV not that John Champion (I think that's his name).

That would be a very brave decision in making the Champions league final only available to Sky viewers.

Utd heap · 6th May 2008, 21:26

ITV.
Sky are twats, regardless if they have better coverage.

Vidicious · 6th May 2008, 21:26

ITV for sure. Tydsley = God. Tyler = Cunt. End of.

It'll definetly be Tydsley, hes a United fan he would probably threaten to kill himself if he didnt get commentary for that.

henno · 6th May 2008, 21:45

RTE....

unmissable..... the guys are classic.....

Dunphy.."ronaldos a disgrace to the game"....
