Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted October 20, 2009 I know ITV don''t have too many fans on this message board for their football coverage, but I have to say the dirty digger''s outfit (Sky TV) are just as bad sometimes. Their 3rd Division match presentation is, at best, 3rd rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Stu 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Gary Birtles is a complete prock. Bores me senseless and always states the bleeding obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryfan68 0 Posted October 20, 2009 His commentary does make me wonder if he''s ever played the game. You have to question his comments in relation to being un-biased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 20, 2009 i used to work with this chap who''s a staunch united fan.. he was telling me that when Birtles played for united in the 70''s he was shocking!!!!!apparantly UMYST university is named in his honour....jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willmeister 35 Posted October 20, 2009 Birtles really is an utter idiot. He makes Tyldesley sound articulate and witty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 20, 2009 What annoyed me most (apart from that we always lose when hecommentates on us) was last night the way he kept going on about Holtand Naylor in the box, saying the ref should have given a pen to Leeds.There was never anything in it and even a good 10 minutes later he keptgoing back on about it.Then of course there was the usual "SHOCKER, THAT SHOULD BE A YELLOW" shouted over every replay of a tackle...

Gunnys Ponytail 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Birtles is a cnut of the highest order.I can only imagine he had his car broken into once in Norwich or some similar misfortune as he always seems down on us.On a similar note, when they interviewed Naylor and played him as some sort of hero with his cut head. When in fact he just hurt himself trying to wipe someone out with no intention of playing the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The gut 0 Posted October 20, 2009 I couldn''t understand his insistance on Holt being punished with a penalty ignoring that Naylor pushed him away to make his run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted October 21, 2009 I''m surprised he said Grant Holt should have given away a penalty as usually he has a love in with anyone who has any previous connection with Forest no matter how bad they are playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Gary Birtles has always pissed me off. Completely clueless about Norwich, he''s one of these commentators that just generalises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CambridgeCanary 0 Posted October 21, 2009 I stopped paying any attention to Birtles a few years ago when he described a particular player as a great favourite with the Norwich fans who loved his great endeavour.The player was........... Andy Hughes - at that time the subject of a number of threads on here asking if he was the worse ever City player.That Birtles really has his finger on the pulse.
