Bellend commentators

[Jack Regan]

I wish I could do the same, the man just never ever shuts up, babbling on constantly about nothing. Like earlier with the number of VARs on duty at Stockley Park, when it's the same for every game where VAR is operating.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's an average radio commentator on TV without applying the differences required between the two mediums

 

[The Bear]

It's really weird because although Matterface is pretty much universally loathed and I have a very low tolerance for commentators in general but he never bothers me.

He never says anything worth hearing but I tend to forget he's there TBH. Nowhere near as intrusive as Tyldesley.

Yeah same. I occasionally hear him trying to a pre-written load of drivel like Peter Drury but usually he's just bland and unnoticeable.

Clive Tyldsley doing Liverpool games is the most vomit inducing thing ever, if it’s against your team it’s just patronising.

I'm with you here.

That game with him and McCoist at Anfield against us was sickening as you say.

Yep treated us like we were San Marino rocking up at Wembley for WCQ, basically we should just be glad to share the same field as Liverpool let alone compete.

 

[Langers]

Clive Tyldsley doing any game is the most vomit inducing thing ever, it’s just patronising.

Fixed for you.

He's got the most annoying, piercing voice that makes him impossible to not notice.

He ruins even the most entertaining of matches

Bizzare that so many think he’s really good

Yeah loads of anger on twitter when itv binned him.

Motty is another one whose popularity mystifies me. Made it all about him - the anti Brian Moore.

Agreed.

Wasn't in the same league as Barry Davies. The best commentator of all time.

 

[jd1981]

Watching the big match revisited Hugh Johns seemed a very good on comms. Martin Tyler wasn’t to bad in his Granada TV days also. Brian Moore always remained legendary.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yeah Brian Moore was brilliant.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Brian Moore maybe went a year or two too long but was very good.

Motson was pap for at least 20 years before he finally quit. Try listening to his stuff from the 2002 World Cup, it's surreally bad.

Later on he decided that all foreign players with an "A" in their name were pronounced "Ar", so we got the constant "DDA Drogbar" but also during Euro 2008 the lesser spotted "Sergio Rahrmos" playing for Spain.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In fact of one Motson's most famous lines makes no sense at all.

"The Crazy Gang have beaten the Culture Club". In 1988.

Yeah, the Crazy Gang, that's Vinnie Jones, John Fashanu and Wimbledon, I get that.

But who were they playing?

Option A:

Or Option B:

It would only work if there were a bit of a rough and ready band called "The Crazy Gang" then

As in the Italian project of disco glamour, dance and fun created by the fervid imagination of Carlo Bixio, owner, among other things, with the brother composer Franco Bixio?

I think you’re overthinking this!

What a bellend.

The mere fact Newcastle scored four at home against a newly promoted side raises even bigger questions surely?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Exactly.

He's wired differently that bloke.
