Gary Imlach

agree

Someone pour him a whisky.. though itll probably send him to sleep.

Coombes is f'ing hopeless too.

Why do they struggle so mightily to get a decent presenter? (Don't even get me started on Jonny Gould!)

Coombes is useless yet but least he presents the show with some enthusiasm and mike seems to like schooling coombs on the game

i thought the coverage last night was excellent

been a huge improvement over 3 weeks

If Coombes is the answer, I don't know the question.

At least Carlsen doesn't bully Imlach and I don't get the impression Imlach would stand for it if he attempted.

Mike knows his stuff (most of the time) but he desperately wants to be a 'crack up'.

Unfortunately, he has all the endearing comic quality of a pissed off rottweiler and his attempts just grate after a while - it must be an absolute nightmare to work with, so that might explain Imlach's slightly pained delivery.

Still, as with terrestrial MLB coverage, I just hit mute when the two stooges are on and at least we're getting some football.

Agree about Mike.
He switches from being mr serious to a kid in a sweet shop in seconds, and always talks over the presenter.
Personally I reckon they've sedated Imlach, so he doesn't poke mikes eyes out in the break.

Bring back Colin Murray[smiley:crazy]

I think the C4 coverage is better than Sky's by a good bit..especially the graphics packages etc before the game and highlights.

Also the lack of commercials between plays is a big plus.

Quite liked Mark Webster when he was doing it before Murray

murphinator1 knows. Imlach is a highly respected sports journalist and Carlson won`t dare take the p*ss, like he did with Coombes.

But I think that`s good. I want to hear Carlson analysing (which incidentally he`s very good at) not telling jokes (which he`s useless at).
