Faddy stole the show tonight with his comments on Brazils 3rd being class - their first pass would have been easily dealt with by any competent defender.

I agree, I hate all these useless stats they stuff down our throats. Concentrate on the game

I just find McLeod`s voice incredibly grating. It sounds like he`s trying to create interest rather than reacting to what`s unfolding in front of him.
I like the `old skool` commentators who remain reasonably neutral throughout the game and are able to remain silent when the situations needs silence. Barry Davies was the master, Brian Moore on ITV, Motty was decent too (before he became a caricature of himself). I also liked Jock Brown and Archie McPherson.
This new generation of `fan` commentators isn`t for me. McLeod is one of those.

Much prefer Ian Crocker out of the current crop of Scottish commentators.

It`s like a competition to reveal the most trivial piece of trivia. Do they do their own research or are they handed a sheet of information?

They have researchers who hand them stats, it`s then up to the commentator what to reveal
C'mon Ye Pars!

Alistair Lamont and Pat Nevin were on the iPlayer. I switched over and they were better, although Faddy is good.
It`s bloody tough being a legend

I don`t mind Liam MacLeod, he`s a good guy, took him on the p1ss in Seville just before the Celtic UEFA Cup Final, quite a night I can tell you. Decent commentator, but I do prefer Ian Crocker, he`s the best at the moment

Can`t stand Crocker. He was always bringing up stats around how long it had been since we`d qualified. Thought he was English the way he kept rubbing it in!

After enduring the ITV commentary for the Morocco game, I was quite happy with his commentary for the Brazil game.

I quite like Liam, particularly after seeing footage of him commentating the goals v Denmark - worth looking up on YouTube ! My old fellae used to be on standby at EEP in case of floodlight failure. For some reason they sat him next to the commentators but he wasn’t impressed by Archie McPherson, always preferred Arthur Montford. I definitely agreed with him on that. Archie, to me, was a pain, still is. Liam is miles better.
