I did the same, for the first time in my life. Won't be the last, either, as the commentary was more about the game than the prejudices of the commentators.<br /><br />-- Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:50 am --<br /><br />the goats backside said:Watched ITV as i refuse to watch those turds on Beeb, i am glad i did
And yet by all accounts both lawrenson and hansen continued on their merry way, unabashed.pfazz said:Bert Trautmann's Parachute said:Complaining to the BBC about the cunts that people their programmes is like complaining to David Cameron about the iniquities of the Public School system - a waste of fucking time.

They did indeed but mostly before Lineker had chastised them, however the fact that he did chastise them is a move in right direction to get these knobs to toe the line, if we say nothing the situation would likely be allowed to get worse.

I'm not an advocate of saying nothing, I just think it's better to complain to Ofcom than directly to the BBC.pfazz said:Bert Trautmann's Parachute said:I did the same, for the first time in my life.

Many would feel it absurd to admit to themselves how utterly fascinated they are with Balotelli, so they lash out and blame him. Step forward Alan Hansen, he'd probably tell you he has little interest in the player or man but he can't stop talking about him. His coverage and criticism of the young Italian borders on obsession and his reaction to him after yesterday's game was as odd as anything Balotelli has done recently.
Hansen wasn't far away from standing up, ripping his mic off, and pointing angrily at the player. And what had he done? Well, Balotelli had left the pitch distraught after the defeat, he may have been one of a few Italy players to do this but we won't know because the cameras didn't focus in on them.
Balotelli probably wanted to rush to the dressing and cry his eyes out but didn't want that reaction to be on the pitch. Or perhaps he went to the dressing room for some other reason. Frankly, does anyone really care?
Are we not stepping over the line into boy-band infatuation when we're bothered by such a scenario after such a game? As it happens Balotelli returned to the pitch quickly and collected his runners-up medal and, like several team mates, couldn't hold the tears back.
He's on the front page of Gazzetta dello Sport and they paint him as a young footballer devastated by his and his teams failure to do better in the final. Yet in England many are mocking him. There's a palpable jealousy and that's understandable but the way that manifests itself is certainly ugly and petulant.
The lashing out at him and assuming the worst of a situation is as childlike as much he is accused of himself, and he's 21 - Alan Hansen is 57. The 'other Alan', as Gary Lineker dubbed Shearer, has been equally as critical. Before yesterday's game there was an effort led by a seemingly embarrassed Lineker to gloss over the dastardly duo's recent criticism of the Italian by listing his achievements and respecting his talent.
They'd been giving him grief prior to the match against Germany and those insults had been made to look silly given his performance in the game.
Yet by half-time in the final the Beavis and Butthead pairing were back on their soap boxes and at the end of the game the opportunity to slam Balotelli seemed to get Hansen quite aroused. There was little reason for his excited outburst but Balotelli going to the dressing room to sort himself out was used to justify everything he'd said about the player previously.
It almost felt like payback after the striker had the audacity to put in a good performance in the semi-final and make their pre-match pontification seem less prepared than usual. The clown had made them look like clowns and that just couldn't be left unanswered.
Subsequently Spain and their brilliant victory wasn't the most exciting post-match issue for Alan Hansen, he saved his verve to criticise Balotelli. Hansen said Balotelli had been petulant throughout the match which seemed detached from reality but reality isn't a necessary component when it comes to his criticism of the young Italian.
Commentators and pundits have received much criticism throughout this tournament, a lot of it unfair, but if anything tells you that the BBC's Two Alans set-up isn't worth the fortune thrown at it, it's their bar-stool reactions to twenty one year old Mario Balotelli.

Did no one else hear Lawro when Silva was taken off? Something like;
Commentator: Del Bosque doesn't shake the players hand or console them when taken off?
Lawro: Yeah i like that. I'm old school.
Yes Lawro you definitely are old school. Your career ended about a quarter of a fucking century ago. The game has moved on in that time pal. Dinosaur pundits like yourself and Deidre Barlow should move on too.
