The bbc coverage of the world cup is disgusting and laughable, even the highlights show is on at midnight 
The commentary on the bbc is also terrible, i will be watching all game son premier sports regardless if they are on the bbc as the coverage is so much better on premier sports |

Think we should start a Voss for Sky campaign.
How refreshing was it to hear a good commentator?

He's not just a slick commentator, he was genuinely funny during the NZ/Samoa game and his comments added to what was already an enjoyable match.
It makes such a difference to how the game comes across, especially for the neutral I'd imagine. |

If you have the XL package, BT Sport, ESPN and Premier Sports are free |

Bt sports are currently freeview like Premier, I dunno if it is just for the month of october. I'm on the free minimum package with virgin and only noticed BT sports was free when I looked for Premier sports.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

The commentary was excellent... Mainly because it was COMMENTARY, not two blokes, in safe seats, filled with their own self importance, talking total because they have gotten away with it for far far too long...

Branson paid a few hundred million for BT sports, been on since about 5th August for free.

I agree the premier commentary was great, knowledgable, enthusiastic, funny and he managed a pint! A pie! and a game of darts.
IMO this thread is unfair on Eddie and Steve, it's like comparing real broad sheet journalism to a Tabloid reporter. Eddie and Steve are employed to entertain and make up stories for a viewing audience that aren't RL fans.(see american sports reporting formula= 2 tanned bland suits not ment to offend) Sky don't care about us, we will pay for it anyway

So, so refreshing to have great commentary.
Eddie and Stevo should be embarrassed with themselves.
In a dream world, Voss would replace Hemmings next year and be paired with Brian Carney.

I agree Voss is excellent. I particularly liked how informative he was about Warrington and the HJ. He was commentating to the world, whereas Sky or BBC commentate to a UK audience and assume all viewers are up to speed, if that makes sense. However, I would be happy never to hear Carney's voice ever again! I can't stand the way he talks through an entire set of plays. He's not the only culprit, though. It seems to be the style of commentating over here.
