The mute buttons on remote controls all around the United Kingdom have been smashed into oblivion during the Switzerland vs Poland match featuring the commentary of Mark Lawrenson.

The nation put its Brexit differences aside to beg the BBC for a Lawrexit. https://twitter.com/RossMcCaff/status/746701582713106433 A decent game of football was pretty much consistently met with Lawro's signature, infamous brand of snide commentary bemoaning the quality of what unfolded before his eyes. https://twitter.com/Langers121199/status/746701583698767873 People did not react well. https://twitter.com/marksnell6/status/746701466476363776 https://twitter.com/tomk27/status/746701584789286912 https://twitter.com/afallon10/status/746701536319971328 This guy actually quantified in numbers the effect of Lawro's commentary on his enjoyment of a game. https://twitter.com/BigDaddyPete/status/746701498260852736 https://twitter.com/GrahamDavidHowe/status/746701382909059072 One particularly odd moment was when he laughed at a player diving, and then described it as *almost* laughable. https://twitter.com/TheMediaTweets/status/746701460457590784 https://twitter.com/SugarMcLumps/status/746701344875159552 His commentary partner Jonathan Pearce didn't escape the criticism either. https://twitter.com/Ht1zzle/status/746701346624147456 https://twitter.com/callumLtfc/status/746701364584144896 Still can't wait to hear Jonathan Pearce on the new Robot Wars though.
