The Naitch Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The TV coverage always divides opinion so keep all your chat here. Both BBC and ITV have announced their line ups... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36246839 http://www.itv.com/euro2016/itv-offers-fans-a-french-football-festival-at-euro-2016 There's also a couple of Euro 96 documentaries to look forward to plus the BBC are also doing a full rerun of Scotland vs England and England vs Germany from that tournament over the next week.

NorthernLights Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hopefully ITV have the game where England get knocked out so we can see Ian Wright descended into a seething mess as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I don't. He was a big girl's blouse whenever his team lost and it was never their fault. "Wait for Paris" was funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 That ITV lineup is just throwing money at folk and hoping one of them is any good. BBC for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I don't mind Ian Wright either. Sure he's just a cheerleader, but I'd rather have him there being passionate about something than the usual ones who look like they'd rather be anywhere else. His shite glasses can f**k off though.

s_dog Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Looking forward to not watching any of the build-up. This. So when I tune in to watch Poland v Northern Ireland on Sunday, I won't have to listen to them dribble on about England's performance v Russia the previous day only to then switch focus to N.Ireland 2 minutes before kick-off. Or when I settle down to enjoy Belgium v Italy on Monday, I won't have sat through 20 minutes of England news of the upcoming game v Wales beforehand. It's the only way to do it. Otherwise, I start off every tournament fairly ambivalent about England's results and even have a mild interest in watching them play, only to get overwhelmed by news and opinions about England before and after every single game, give up counting how many times the commentators link something to England or the English Premier League in every single game, and end up a seething wreck desperate for England to drop out of the tournament just to shut them up.

Diamonds are Forever Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Interesting that Jacqui Oatley is now a presenter. She was awful at commentating but I think she'll probably be pretty good at presenting. The ITV list of guests looks ridiculous, it's the most random, obscure list of players ever. I wonder how many rejections they got to get far enough down the list to invite Christian Karembeu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 This. So when I tune in to watch Poland v Northern Ireland on Sunday, I won't have to listen to them dribble on about England's performance v Russia the previous day only to then switch focus to N.Ireland 2 minutes before kick-off. Watch the game on BBC NI if you have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
