ITV always seems to have one non-English commentator, usually Scottish.

Among the pundits we have Roy Keane, well known for his fondness of the English and Mr Souness of course.

I don't like RK. He's that rarity - the humourless Irishman but that's not my point.

My point is this question: does Scottish or Irish TV employ English pundits and commentators? I'd really like to know.

 


I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

No they don't in Ireland any sport, to answer your question. Football all Irish or token foreigner who played for either Ireland or Liverpool (so here you could have had Andy Townsend or Cascarino, or Didi Hamann).
Rugby, Irish perhaps an Aussie or Kiwi expert. I won't say they've never had an English person. They may have had one once or twice but no regulars. Delaney was on the Irish channels for ages - not bad. They go with a straight man, a controversialist and a woman, in general. The magic formula.

I thought they were referred to as 'transgender'?

Don't say that to Eamon Dunphy, Johnny Giles or Liam Brady. They'll have to ask the Bishop about it but Eamon'll likely give you a piece of his mind. In the Irish parlance, they're all a bit cross. That was the golden age of football pundits in Ireland, famous worldwide. Full of sh1t, with their own agendas and lifelong arguments but absolutely hilarious gold dust to watch. Look them up - quite unbelievable. All over now for the sake of the modern audience, of course.
