Bullet in the old horses head, sadly.
Clive Tydesley replaced as main ITV commentator
- Thread starter Bojan11
- Start date
Damn shame. Seems to elevate the excitement of a match. Those 99 CL games on rewatch just get the hairs standing on end largely due to his commentary
Needs to move to BBC or something.
It just seems like such a waste when he's so good at it still. Maybe he's an absolute monster in reality, only thing I can think of.
This is it. The last hurrah.
A last 16 match seems an odd finale. I'd have him for the final. Can they not give him a semi?
Would guess ITV have the England game if they make it to the semis. Matterface presumably would be entitled to it but they should still have given it to Clive regardless.
It's the fact they Matterface and Dixon seemed to be joined at the hip.
It’s criminal that he’s playing second fiddle to Sam fecking Matterface! What the feck are ITV thinking? 
I am not sure we should be grateful ITV lost the CL or Matterface would be all over that as well.It’s criminal that he’s playing second fiddle to Sam fecking Matterface! What the feck are ITV thinking?
can’t be called clive these days.
True. Would completely ruin it for me. It’s best to just remember the good times.
He used to just be one of the blokes on Sky Sports News, not sure how somebody thought he would make a great commentator.True. Would completely ruin it for me. It’s best to just remember the good times.
Aye it’s a strange one, but it’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last time an utter moron is placed in a prominent position.
Up there with Rolf
I don't think that would be appropriate, he's a married man
Pity MUTV can't get him to commentate on our games.
Can only assume his contract ends in June.
First time ever Clive has started to annoy me
Doesn't half love the sound of his voice doesn't he. Just goes on and on and on, take a breather once in a while man!

He's been a bit peculiar tonight.
Is there a better commentary duo than Tydesley and McCoist?! Sublime.
My man!! I’ve been saying this for ages. How the feck Sky haven’t got this duo on board to commentate PL games I’ll never know!
I think they’re more likely to give him a watch or vouchers as a leaving present but who knows?
Wild overrating of Germany was a bit wild.
They could have pulled him off at halftime.
Why’s he leaving ITV mid tournament for a start?
McCoist is annoying as feck.
Clive brilliant.
Clive brilliant.
Think he did the same at the World Cup, due to not being needed. Strange.
Madness getting rid of Tydesley and forcing us to endure tickbox replacements.
He was dreadful last night.
I totally get why Man United fans have affection for "Red Clive" but get him on MUTV and spare the rest of us!

I think its more if a case that people just prefer him over the bland Matterface.
Anyway, Jonathan Pearce is still my favourite commentator working today. MATILDA !!
Peter Brackley is the GOAT though.

I actually quite like Matterface. He's just not as good as Clive.
Matterface?
I loved Big Ron and Clive. But he messed up big time with that silly comment on air and then to top it off with the classic "I have black friends" justification after.
Once you get to knockouts Matterface can just move about doing all the games.
"Silly comment"?
‘The Diane Abbott of punditry’
Just a bit of harmless racism.
It was a silly comment but the support he received from black players he managed showed that time away for a while instead of being fired would have been a better choice
We were stuck with Townsend tactics truck after that
Strikes me as one of those council internal hires.
Loyalty hire from within, regardless of competence.
