Who'd be a pundit?
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't it seems. Unless you be like Gary Neville. Then you're okay.
The trick with punditry is to be good. We've always said that.
But the sporting world felt trapped today in a wall of co-commentary hell. Kerry's hammering of Kildare was illuminated by Tommy Carr. If you didn't like that, you could simply flick over to the Community Shield being contested by Arsenal and Chelsea. Only to be greeted by Michael Owen.
