Former Ireland international and much maligned pundit Andy Townsend is commentating on the Manchester City match tonight for ITV. The response on Twitter has been harsh, to say the least.
Of course we’re watching TV3’s coverage like everyone else, but we just thought we’d share with you what you were missing out on.
Yeah! Andy Townsend is co-commentator! Said not even his own mother…

Andy Townsend uses “in and around” just 2min 50sec into Man City match, must be a record for him.

Andy Townsend attempting to explain Bayerns formation during this game is going to be painful.

'And City have a big BIG lead here' as Manchester City go 1-0 up.
The hyperbolic criminal? Andy Townsend, of course.— Neil Ramjee (@NeilRamjee) November 25, 2014
Let's face it. If Andy Townsend can be a pundit, so can I. And I have the tactical awareness of a gnat #itv #UCL

This is why whenever Townsend is commentating, Twitter is an endless source of entertainment.
