Yes - I noticed that too.
I actually like Gary McAllister doing the co-commentary.
Look, I don't want to sound like I'm picking on MO, as I'm sure he's trying his bets and it's not his fault that BT have put him in this position with no previous co-commentary work. They perhaps should have put him on their 'secondary', for want of a better word, football rights for a season so he could have cut his teeth before going to the PL coverage.
McManaman, Burley, Waddle, would have all been worthy of doing BT's games. I have a lot of time for Craig Burley on co-comms. I know he's not everybody's cup of tea (but who is?), but I actually watched the WC2010 Final on ITV because he was doing it instead of Townsend and it meant that I could avoid Lawro! Sky should actually bin off Niall Quinn in favour of Craig Burley, in my view. I even prefer Michael Owen to Niall Quinn. Praise indeed...
