Thanks for that info. Not sure about Matias Suarez having a free role, he's generally played on the right despite being a striker by trade because of De Sutter and Lukaku. And even then he wouldn't be first choice there in front of Legear who is injured.
Clive Tyldesley was a studio guest on talkSPORT's Hawksbee & Jacobs show this afternoon, where he did quite a lengthy and interesting interview.
A number of topics of note were touched upon including what happened to Jim Beglin in South Africa and also Clive's plans for a new football broadcasting forum/blog (not another one! ), http://www.footballcommentator.org.
For those who'd like to listen to the interview (or those who would like to listen again), it's available here. He was on for about half an hour between 3-3.30pm, so click on the 1500-1600 tab to the right of the media player and away you go.
It was a very interesting interview. In particular, Clive revealed that one of his favourite commentators is Rob Hawthorne.

That wasn't such a surprise to me - Clive has said Rob Hawthorne is (one of) his favourite commentators a few times before in newspaper/magazine interviews, due to his low-key style.
Something I didn't know is that he was a big American Football fan in the 1980s and among his all-time favourite commentators is Pat Summerall, the long-time broadcast partner of legendary NFL co-commentator John Madden for CBS and Fox, which I thought was quite interesting.

He's on holiday (remember he did the Tour de France since the World Cup). He'll be back for the group stages.
Thats good news. Its also good that Angus and Kelly have joined in, even if its as cover. Will these 2 have more of a role with ITV. I know Kelly does GMTV

Whre can you listen to the international feed?
For me it's ESPN2 on Mondays and Fox Soccer Channel on Saturday and Sunday.
Even doing the pre-match stuf for Liverpool from pitchside would require having two presenters on the same site.
Unless they simulcast, which would be the easiest option.
Along side Gareth Southgate and Dean Saunders
Post match had no presenter - just Crocker / Dowie in voice over.

Where did you find the feed ? Bet365 was advertised but doesn't seem to be showing it live when I logged in.
But they do keep showing a bloke in the crowd who looks like Jeremy Clarkson.
What has happened to Ned Boulting?
He's on holiday (remember he did the Tour de France since the World Cup). He'll be back for the group stages.

excellent news. can you also say what other sports that ITV have got lined up that hasnt been officially announced yet?
No. But don't be surprised to see a game with multiple balls this autumn.
i know that ITV have snooker already, is that it?
Are ITV interested in more Cricket???
Jeremy Clarkson, doing match commentary - could you imagine that:rolleyes:
Since when has cricket been "a game with multiple balls"?
