Nearly all of the current matchday commentators are poor. Actually I think they are shite.
They All feel they have to say what it actually happening on the pitch, Well, thanks but I can see that for myself, They are all scared to death of being critical.
During the Carabao match last night (Doncaster V Everton) a winger called Molyneux played 2 balls into the box, The 1st came to nothing and the 2nd was just rubbish, played straight into 3 defenders one of which cleared it emphatically.
The commentator said, "And that's Molyneux with his 2nd attempt which is cleared".
It would have been refreshing to hear her say, "That was a careless pass/inaccurate/underhit/poor..." anything but 'it is cleared...'
I can see it was cleared, why are you telling me?
I get there's a difference between radio commentary and tv commentary. But they really need to shut up, they have to stop feeling the need to fill every silent moment with verbiage.
And those fuckers who provide 'colour' commentary all need to be let go. Stating the bleeding obvious, referring to their notebooks full of worn out cliches, adding nothing but more chat, which adds absolutely nothing,
If I hadn't wanted to hear a bit of crowd atmosphere, I'd have turned sound off, then I'd have turned the game off.
