...are the talkSPORT commentators, not the BT ones.
Matt Smith is hosting talkSPORT's coverage of that game tonight - I'm guessing he's not required by BT Sport, what with them only having two live matches with UK involvement. |

Anyone know why Lynsey Hipgrave has disappeared from C5's football league highlights?
Thought she was decent but doesn't really need two presenters. Riley doing a solid job on his own |

Seems overkill to have 4 pundits for a friendly. Really there isnt much point of having Giggs. But Karanka will be an interesting option. I hope that having 4 pundits doesnt become a thing. It is too much.
Agreed - 4 pundits in the studio feels a bit much and it's becoming more common on ITV (think they have 4 for the Scotland game and had 4 towards the end of the Euros). It just means pundits don't have long enough to make their points - particularly on ITV where there won't necessarily be the time available that a specialist sports channel like BT or Sky might have. In any case, even those 2 channels don't usually have 4 pundits in the studio (or if they do it feels very, very rare). I preferred the 2 pundit approach ITV had for a while recently - Wright & Dixon felt like one of the better partnerships ITV has had and less pundits meant more time to expand on their thoughts which is no bad thing with Lee Dixon |

Seems like Giggs is becoming one of the regulars for ITV - did the last few games for them at the Euros, was on a game in the last International break and is doing the Spain and Scotland games in the international break.

It just means pundits don't have long enough to make their points - particularly on ITV where there won't necessarily be the time available that a specialist sports channel like BT or Sky might have. I seem to remember them using four pundits on one occasion during the Chiles era, when they had Dixon, Keane, O'Neill and Patrick Viera and, as you say, it could work if they had time to make their points and get a discussion going but by and large they don't. Whereas when Des was doing the Champions League, they often only had one pundit, and they had fewer adverts in those days as well. |
