I’d give it to ITV, though Mata and Rio. Maybe I’ve just had enough of Shearer and Lineker. That woman that ITV has that talks dirty Var is sweet. RTE 2 were decent, with Given and the wonderful Didi Hamman.
 
I went with BBC because of no adverts and Juan Mata.

Did miss not hearing Keane though.
 
ITV all the way, Keano and Wrighty are a joy to watch. The BBC Rio and Richards are crap pundits and montages could only get you so far until they become a bit cringe.

International feed was also solid last night with Peter Drury taking it easy with the history lesson.
 
Micah Richards is just such a fecking irritant so I'll go ITV.

That said both sets of commentators were somehow more reasoned and down to earth about England during the match that those crackheads Maloney and Whelan on RTE.

I watched bbc and I regret that after listening to lineker and shearer. Not to mention Rio who was constantly speaking how brave and courageous England players were. Micah act like clown. Only Mata was someone I wanted to hear. Overall I prefer listening to Keane and Wright.
 
For the pre match half time I went for ITV, as I enjoy Keane, Neville and Wright over Richards, Ferdinand (Mata was good). For the game itself BBC, but I almost zone out of what the 'experts' are saying
 
BBC with 5live commentary is always my favourite
 
In the final I kept switching channels every time someone said something stupid. I found myself switching a lot.
 
BBC because of no adverts. However Rio especially annoys the hell out of me.
 
Micah Richards makes me wanna change the channel. Rio ain’t much better. Much rather Ian Wright and Keano.
Nothing compares to the days of Dunphy, Giles, Brady (sometimes with Souness or Hamann thrown in) on RTE though, will Bill OHerlihy (RIP) as presenter. Brilliant stuff.
 
BBC, didn't wanna risk hearing McCoist yapping about what each player should have did in each situation then adding "he really did , he really has, he really is" on the end.
 
Haven't listened to punditry for years. I just turn on at kick-off, mute at half-time, and turn off at full-time. Have no interest in what these 'experts' have to say.

That's pretty much how I am nowadays.

I've never been all that bothered about commentators / pundits anyway. They're useful for telling you whose on the ball in games where you're less familiar with the players, but other than that I'm never bothered about listening to them. But it's increasingly got worse in recent years, and I watch plenty of the games on mute nowadays.
 
I preferred BBC non-advert coverage much more than ITV. I didn't really care for either commentary teams and pundits.
 
There was a foul from a Spanish player on Foden inside the England half and shearer says "that was cynical, we had them on the ropes" or some shit like that... I'm there thinking "do you really believe that, Alan?"

Fairly similar to this.
I don't understand why so many people seem to revel in sucking up every single word every pundit utters just to whinge on here for ages after.

“Supports: Celtic”

I mean of course you do.
 
ITV. Keano, Wright and Neville. And Ally McCoist and Matterface on commentary. Far better than listening to Alan Shearer for 90 minutes.

I just switched over to BBC during the ads and then switched back once the ads were over.
