enjoyed Absolute's commentary and must admit i couldn't tell Tony was watching in London.
Rus Williams didn't seem to be involved in their coverage after all with Ian Wright hoasting (and talking over anyone else) at half time.”
Indeed I tuned in at full-time and it appeared as if Ian Wright and Ian Stone were the studio presenting team. I presume Russ and Perry are presenting the Rock 'N' Roll Football show scheduled for 7-10pm.
Surprised that Tony Dorigo is doing his leg of their commentary games off-tube, must admit I could tell this was the case both last night and today from the sound mix but it's not as if they are actively disguising it. I wonder if they'll fly him out for the quarter-finals onwards or if it's a budget/space in the press box issue.
Currently listening to my third Ian Danter commentary in as many days - he's having a great tournament so far, demonstrating his knowledge of the teams he's covering but not without humour and style. Micky Quinn has been surprisingly good so far as well, he seems to have done a bit of homework and generally isn't mangling the Ukrainian names!
