One rule of TV broadcasts of football is that whoever is commentating, someone will be pissed off with them.
Still, some commentators seem more capable than others of inspiring fury in fans.
Case in point: Robbie Savage.
The Welshman has come in for criticism before from Leicester, and got into a heated back-and-forth with John Terry last season.
He was part of an English-Welsh team on co-comms alongside Martin Keown as the home nations clashed in Group B.
And many laid into the man from Wrexham for his supposed bias, first when England had a penalty appeal turned down.

And then for everything else.
If the BBC stated a kick stater campaign to raise a million then they turn of Robbie Savage's mic, done within seconds #ENGWAL

Someone let Robbie Savage know he's a BBC commentator, not the manager of Wales

Keown wasn’t free from blame, though.
Robbie Savage AND Martin Keown on co-comms!? FML
