Feel like pure shite just want Clive back
BBC vs ITV Euro 2020

Wow I thought it couldn't get worse than having to listen to Jenas, but Dixon and that other twat on ITV really are abysmal.
Matterface is like a 90's programmed AI that's been implemented to commentate on football.
Just listen that fecking intro in the first 30 seconds. Sam Matterface is Alan Partridge levels of cringe.
You just know he's been up all night for the last few days trying to come up with this shit.
God he's terrible.
Genuinely people should complain about Matterface. He is an embarrassment. He's desperately trying to seem iconic, but the utter filth and cringe shite that came out of his mouth last night was tragic.
Where did Matterface even come from? I admit I don’t really take in who’s commentating outside of the usual suspects but has he been around for ages?
Which channel has the final? Please say BBC.

The commentary on ITV last night was a disgrace.
"easily fingered by pickford" is an actual quote from football commentary.
Seriously, WTF is wrong with matterface?

The OH YES OH YES was utter cringe. If I had the choice I genuinely have no idea what channel I'd watch it on, ITV have better pundits but Matterface is the Partridge of commentary. BBC on the other hand will most likely have Jenas who's a twat and the boys club line up of pundits with all their gushy montages.
I'm watching it at my mates house though and he's a bit of a Tory so we'll most likely be watching it on BBC.

His Twitter profile pic sums him up perfectly. Why is he pointing and shouting?
Absolute bellend.

Going to have to be BBC with 5live comms for the final, not letting Jenas or Matterface ruin it
Good idea.
It looks as if both have. ITV don't do much football nowadays and it shows.
Matterface is the worst commentator I've ever heard. His commentary last night was non stop lines that he had clearly rehearsed days before. Thanks to ITV for ruining a great night of football.
This is what wound me up. It was so obviously rehearsed, none of it sounded natural whatsoever.
Please give Clive his job back as main ITV commentator.
He just wouldn't fecking shut up for 5 seconds.
Such a momentous moment at the end when it was clear we were going to win and make our first final for 55 years , let it breathe.
He was just blathering on and on.

The best commentators in any sport know when to shut up. He is still such a novice that he thinks he needs to be talking and filling every second with his voice.
Also the amount of players he mixed up all the way through the game, use your eyes you plebb.
#NeverForget
I can hear him saying that in his dreadful commentary style and it makes it even better/worse.
Pleased this has been picked up. That intro was toe-curlingly bad.
Aye, spot on. Excited puppy. No composure. Listen to how little Barry Davies says here and how better the atmosphere is for it.
Was that while he was married (somehow) to Natalie Sawyer?#NeverForget
That looked such a happy fantastic atmosphere. What a tournament
Yeah. He was one of the men on Sky Sports News going back. The problem he is Talksports main commentator when the PL season is on. Commentating on the radio is completely different to television where people can work most of it out for themselves.
Why on earth did ITV drop Tyldesley for Matterface? Mental decision that.
That's why Barry Davies was the master.
The old time commentators realised that the game and players were the main event. Commentators now want to be the stars. They seem intent of developing catchphrases for themselves.
I tried finding out as I'm at a loss. Apparently it was to appeal to a younger audience.....
Let's get a movement going! #BRINGCLIVEBACKFORTHEFINAL.
Tbf Clive Tyldesley does clearly rehears opening monologues that were/are kinda cringe. Matterface does take it to a whole other level though.
Also, anyone else notice that the commentary was slightly behind the action last night? Not that it matters, I'm going to stick the game on whichever channel is easiest, press mute, and then play Three Lions on repeat for 90+ minutes.

Whole night Sam Whatshisface sounded like he was rummaging through notes finding stuff he wrote down earlier.
Constant references to stats. Zero understanding of how to portray emotion of game
