Bellend commentators

Can we get some subtitles for Ally McCoist please.

Careful, people will be labeling you racist for a comment like that before you know it!

Think McCoist has been fine - but then I thought Danny Murphy was perfectly fine yesterday and he got slated on here so what do I know?!
 
He is doing what a co-commentator should do really. Few extra comments. Bit of interesting stuff. I just find him vaguely unintelligible.

Still a million times better than Lawrenson etc
 
His accent isn't even particularly strong, it's just a really weak joke whenever someone Scottish speaks.
 
Kenny Dalglish was the worst for that. I do think McCoist is adding a bit to the game. He's reasonably incisive I guess in what he is saying.

I'm with you here Jinks, I think both men have been OK.
 
Roy Keane, aside from looking orange, just sounded like Father Ted...
 
McCoist has been OK and I thought Danny Murphy was Ok too. I should dig out the pundit thread but do ITV ever screen test guests
? They seem to pick by name only. Larsson and Evra earlier were awful.

I've enjoyed Dublin as a Co commentator on Five Live, but Chris Sutton is awful.

Yep, saying someone has a strong accent is right up there with saying someone has only got a job because they're black..

Don’t forget the female bit - that’s important...

A friend of mine sent me a message earlier which basically said she’s only got the job because she’s black & female so she ticks a couple of big boxes for the BBC...

Her been black is a load of bollocks, but there is no doubt that female commentators are been added to sports commentary to make the broadcasting companies look PC. Same seems to be happening with cricket.
 
Ali Mitchell has been on TMS for years and is easily one of the best commentators, far better than the old boy ex-pros they employee.

To say she is only there because she is a women is really insulting to an excellent commentator.
 
She a commentator in the same way as Vicki Sparks, Jacqui Oatley, Bianca Westwood are not a so called ex-professional.

Had the pleasure of listening to him for 30 mins on Friday. A load of shouty noise Inc a rant about Trump/Nike/Iran

How is he employed as a pundit. Offers nothing

As commentators it isn't new to hear women on the mic. Michelle Owen and Danielle Westwood have been doing it for years.

I have an issue with women footballers being employed as pundits as they may as well employ a bloke off the street who played for Bridgenorth Town. But then I'm not enthused by many pundits at the moment, very few good ones around.

Why not say pundits then? That's a whole load different to a commentator.

Might be in the minority here, but i think Jacqui Oatley is really not very good. Still miles better than Fielden though.
 
Missed Lawro, thank god, Murphy has always irritated me but the absolute worst so far for me was Phil Neville testerday, his rant about the French pen and VAR was really embarrasing, made himself look a complete nob
