Ffs now we're gonna be treated by Matterface constantly trying to use alliteration and trying to create a classic sync line, which all flat.
Clive Tydesley replaced as main ITV commentator

- Start date
There’s definitely something weird gone on. Otherwise it’s a completely bizarre decision.
I can’t stand Matterface, he’s so boring, and putting Dixon alongside him is just taking the piss.
I suggest you seek help, all the best
tbh, I wouldn't give tuppence for any of them, but he is particularly awful, of a bad bunch.
Is Matterface the one that always describes overhit crosses as "too big"?
"That cross from Tripper was a bit too big". Who the hell calls a cross too big? "Too long", "too high", "too much on it", sure, but "too big"???

Quoted for truth.
Is it just me that finds this uncomfortable?
Combined with the Big Ron praise, I'll be generous and say "ill-judged".
Learnt from the original big man Townsend.
Needs to get "in and around ", and "that's better " in there too.
I'm sure the poster is referring to Diane Abbot being infamous for her numbers not working. With Aluko producing that classic quote about someone scoring nearly a goal a game when it was very obviously one every 2 games.
What box do Matterface and Dixon tick exactly?
Actually yeah it might be Townsend I'm thinking of.
Speaking of Townsend, Andros has been a decent addition to the commentary team.
Didn't she actually say he's scored say 10 goals in 20 games, that's a goal a game. Like she actually said the goals scored and the games played rather than misremembering a stat.
Ah yes, the notable tick box replacements of *checks notes* straight white men Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon. Give it a rest Barton.
Scary diversity isn't going to hurt you. People didn't like the old boys club, people don't like new diverse faces, people don't like new not diverse faces. People hate the status quo and change. People just want to complain.
That being said, Matterface and Dixon are shite.
Still the best in the business for me. He and McCoist are the perfect commentary balance
My god he's so fecking corny with his painfully delivered monologues trying to hit home the epic proportions of each boring football game. It's actually quite nauseating.
Pearce is intolerable. The way in which he fills in 'white space' (injuries et al) with anecdotes about his journalism career is nauseating.
Just shut it up, man.
Brackley is sorely missed. Pro Evo Soccer fell apart without him.
I'm quite clearly in the minority here, by myself in fact. I like his voiceI suggest you seek help, all the best

Sky should go for him, he's the best commentator in football.
he called Marcel Desailly a “lazy n…..”. There isn’t any route back from that
Agree, would be so weird to hear him on Sky games though.

You like his voice? You're making it even worse
If it gets rid of Peter Drury then yes please.
They're all as bad as each other, matterface, Fletch from BT and the poet reincarnated, Drury.
Unless the box they're ticking is "some dickhead who looks like an estate agent and drives a leased Audi A4" I'm not sure what you mean.
Matterface brilliant as usual, the only positive today
Yup, using the N word isn’t ‘silly’, it’s racist - plain and simple.
Irony? Sarcasm? I don’t get it….
Unless the box they're ticking is "some dickhead who looks like an estate agent and drives a leased Audi A4" I'm not sure what you mean.
Spot on Mr. PWhy is Dixon always whispering, does he know he’s on telly
Every word he speaks is one that Lee Dixon isn't
“cnuts”
Yep, was some silly stuff.
But I imagine tv is pressurised stuff, especially chatting footy, as you can probably do it in auto pilot most of the time and spot any old iron.
Yea too right, she should be in the kitchen ironing.
"It's always darkest before the dawn"
fecking scraped a win against the 45th side in the world, this isn't Gotham City
Quoting Batman
Dixon suggesting that we were saving subs for extra time when losing with 5mins to go was the clear highlight.
This current commentator on ITV is perfect. No hyperbole, no forced poetic rhetoric for the next tiktok reel. Unassuming and just commentates on the game.
