Tommy Carr or Michael Owen? Who would you rather listen to? Twitter isn’t happy with either

Tough crowd.

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. Either way, the Twitter world was not one bit happy with the analysis on offer and, in a rare turn of events, the good people decided to air their grievances. They're all the same. https://twitter.com/ThePauer27/status/627847445054103553 Leave poor Phil out of this. https://twitter.com/Bootsy1990/status/627839865170853889 Tommy apparently missed something. https://twitter.com/CiaranLen/status/627835748490850304 It hurts, it physically hurts. https://twitter.com/ShaneOMahony2/status/627827326915620864 An old classic. https://twitter.com/feargusd/status/622790054117834752 But there's hope... https://twitter.com/bigchiefgilesy/status/627850508875788288 The game wasn't the worst of it. https://twitter.com/Aidenoff/status/627848338117820417 Testify, Tommy. https://twitter.com/Camroc/status/627848177316663296 Salt in the wounds. https://twitter.com/murno84/status/627846146048831488 Research. https://twitter.com/Coulter12Benny/status/627846042701185024 Some use at least. https://twitter.com/James_Doohan/status/627845683492601856 But over in London, it was no better. https://twitter.com/teamnews2day/status/627854304762851328 Actually, Michael Owen might've been more useful in Dublin. https://twitter.com/FunnyThingsUK/status/627854309707935745 Ah, now. https://twitter.com/ronnief71/status/627853333194240001 Who needs emojis? https://twitter.com/baconcocacola/status/627850851806236672 Despair. https://twitter.com/Jimmy2TheB/status/627844126961180672 The English are more creative. https://twitter.com/studiopixie/status/627842702990798848 Or just more angry. https://twitter.com/Termy_20546/status/627841530674446336 So, who would you rather listen to? If you HAD TO choose?
