Big Ron pipped to the post on UKTV G2

Who's been first to heap disgrace on digital TV wasteland UKTV G2 during their piss-poor World Cup coverage, then? Ignorant commentary oaf Big Ron, right?

Ah no.

Here's commentator Martin Fisher and summariser Tony Gale during this afternoon's South Korea v Togo game:

MARTIN: Lee Chun-Soo is... well, I was going to say South Korea's blue-eyed boy but you know what I mean. He's got bleached blond hair, he's dating a celebrity, he gets an awful lot of the headlines...

TONY: Well I wish a few more of them would bleach their hair, because it's very difficult to see who's who. Heh. They do look extremely alike, the Korean team!

Here, these former footballers who fill responsible positions on television, do no research, then spew out the first piece of lazy, ill-informed, xenophobic trash that enters their tiny, clumpish heads... they all sound the same, don't they?
