You are spot on with your comment, (ITV were the worst in my eyes - it's been a long time since I watched a game of footie on TV though) and I simply do not understand how companies can not see they are hiring the wrong commentators and/or doing something wrong. There are good commentators in many sports and also lessons to be learned from how well radio can report on the same matches.

Baffles me completely.
