His summing up at the end of the game was a delight. He rambled on for a minute, got tongue tied, forgot what he had said before and just went quiet leaving the main commentator to finish off 😄😄😄

He said early on that if Wales didn’t concede then Switzerland would have to win by 5 to overtake us. He isn’t the brightest is he.
Hartson, earnshaws, ledely, robson-kanu I know people say footballers aren't the brightest but don't couldn't have picked many worse.
Commentator: “The Italian fans booing Bale there, do you think that’s a mark of respect John?”
Hartson: “Well, you never hear fans booing bad players do you?”
He was terrible, he said early on he liked the false number 9 tactic. After Italy scored he said Wales shouldn’t play that way as it doesn’t work - great analysis!
It's clearly not something that comes natural to him.
Him and savage would make a great early 2000's sky fan zone pairing.
Was a bit like the guy down the pub, never a red ref, all he has done is stamp down on his ankle.
Lets be fair. Hartson’s lucky to still be with us after his cancer scare, so as far as i’m concerned, he can say what he wants.
There aren’t many decent commentators out there any way. At least you can have a chuckle at some of his ramblings 😁😁
Definitely better on the radio (or should I say less worse?) where summarisers speak less.
He tries to be articulate but just keeps repeating the same stuff about pride, passion teamwork, commitment etc without actually offering any insight into the game.
John Hartson once acted as a babysitter for my son for about half an hour.
Lovely Welsh lad , had dreadful health issues and conquered them .
So we get Savage on co-commentary for the BBC games and Hartson for the ITV games. What did we do to deserve this?
Earnie was fine.
Hughes (even when a miserable git) and Taylor are OK. Savage and Ashley Williams are very good. Bellers was always good. Coleman is good.
Unfortunately Hartson is usually poor. Ledley and Robson-Kanu are uncomfortable and wooden - and add almost nothing as pundits. So ITV had three duds out of four, made worse by Mark Pougatch who must be the dullest of BBC/ITV/Sky main presenters.
Still, who cares. Wales second in group and all is well with the world!
