Just been watching Brum - Clelski on spanish Gol TV - they have possibly the worst pundit in the the the whole of creation - he's some ex-pat - what his name is I don't know - neither his credentials if he has any - anyhow they were talking about how tight the Premier is and how maybe a surprise team might get involved in the title race - bolton were mentioned and then to my amazement this cretin said he thought Newcastle with their impressive team could be dark - horse contenders -he'd already mentioned umpteen times how Chelski are going to suffer at sid james's.

I've just seen the results - I don't suppose they'll dock of anything from his wage packet - but the guy needs a rocket (up his behind).
 
If it's the tit I'm thinking of, he's an ex-Newcastle player. He's got a few clips on Youtube under "over the top commentator".

Edit: he wants to be the "Sid Waddell" of football commentary.

I've found who he is - some journo called Paul Giblin - a hull city fan apparently - 'expert' on spanish football and the 'expert' ? for the spanish pay channel Gol TV on the Premier. He's been getting on my tits for a few months now since I've subscribed to this channel - I've just sent them an email asking for him to be sacked and threatening to change to their competitors - Canal + - which I will do. The guy is unbearable.

Since August, they've televised at least 9 N'castle games compared to only 2 of ours, and having to listen to that prat is really irksome.

Another gem from todays commentary

"It's been a very frustrating afternoon - especially for Chelsea"

I can't say I noticed much frustation from Brum who scored from their one and only goal attempt (compared to Chelsea's 25)
 
Joe youre right giblin is crap, proper trainspotter patter he has in ropey spanish

but do you know if youve got imagenio you can press the yellow button and get the english commentary? you probably can with the other providers as well

Well it's something I have to look into soon - do you get Gol TV on imagenio?
Do you have Canal +, & if so how many of our games have they shown so far - Gol Tv is really pissing me off - they've just engineered the change over of el classico to a monday night (with the help of mole-face Montilla) just so they can get extra "abonados" (subscribers).
 
Gol tv is the one to have, i have it on imagenio and getting rid of the spanish commentory is great, i also have sportmania in the package and they show the odd game,

no everton match on monday night though, Getafe zaragoza on instead!
think ill go to the pub for a change, havent been in for a sky match for ages since all the internet streams started up
