Can only agree with the thread title and all the pro Tim vickery comments. Been loving his work on radio for years but he has been very much a hidden gem. Now having the same breakout star effect on the quality of punditry that Rodriguez has had on the quality of Colombia's play.

Yep, agree with everything said and I dislike most pundits and journalists and Vickery is brilliant.
When quite clearly put on the spot with questions he didnt know were coming, he can answer everything on Brazil in the 1958 and 1962 world cups before he was born, Brazil and Argentina in 78, 82 and 86 and all concerning Colombia in 94 - and keep it interesting. Then you hear some of our hacks or pundits try to answer questions like that. |

Love Tim Vickery - tha man's knowledge on South American football is second to none. He is being very underused by the BBC in my opinion

He's not a BBC journalist. He lives in Brazil and does a lot of broadcasting work there. He also writes for English language and Brazilian publications, so I doubt he'd have time to do much more for the BBC even if they wanted him.
Here he is on Matcho Of The Dayo... http://youtu.be/xIGYq5hucwI ![]() Eth, eth, eth eth eth, eth,eth |

I hope that Vickery will have a role in the BBC's coverage of the next World Cup. Obviously nothing like this one but there will still be 5 South American teams there for him to provide analysis of and he'd do that far better than anyone else they have.

To be fair a lot of reporters in this country are no better than the ex-footballers. Vickery is far from your run of the mill journalist - he's on the way to becoming another Glanville or McIlvanney.
Some just turn a blind eye to anything outside of this country. |

The sooner he steps in and Lawrenson steps out the better. He is a catty prick who knows football but chooses to be an arsehole. |

He will. He is too good not to be involved.

Great reporter. We the public deserve more of the quality like him on screen compared to the former players who spout dross most of the time.

I've noticed the BBC are using Lawrenson more sparingly than they have been during previous major tournaments. Are they finally getting the message and phasing him out?
