Not the actual commentators. Just the idiots who sit in the gantry with them. Or sit in the studio with the programme presenters.

 

I'll start the ball rolling...........

Jamie "State the obvious" Redknapp.

Joe Royle

Steve Claridge is pretty poor as well (for those who have ever watched any of Setanta's offerings)

Describing him a pretty poor is being generous. They even had him hosting the Beeb's 606 phone in a couple of weeks ago. The man is a complete fcukwit.

Jim "European Nights at Anfield are special" Beglin

Edited November 19, 200817 yr by FailsworthWhite

Joe Royle, Jim Beglin, Phil Thompson. Pair any one of them with Barry Davies as commentator and you have my idea of hell.

Garth Crooks, he'll use 100 words to say something that can to said in 5.

Crooks just likes to think he sounds intelligent. But we all know he's the end of a bell.

Alan Green!

Jonathan Pearce is awful,

John Motson. He is more interested in having a conversation with his co commentator (usually Lawro) than telling the viewer what is happening on the field. Also he is very biased when commentating on England games. If he wants to be a fan then he should pay for his ticket and go and sit with the fans and let a proper commentator do the job. Incidentally why does it take two to commentate on a game. When I go to the match I don't need anybody telling me what is going on, I can see for myself. A good TV commentator should be informing on what is happening off the screen. eg if someone is making a run on the far side of the field. And he should be silent more than he is talking.

Someone like Steve Wilson. Now, he's very good IMO.

I was going to put Jim Beglin in the other "Footballers you hate" thread just because of his punditry always mentioning Liverpool. I didn't because I can't remember him ever playing for them!

Wouldn't it be easier to just list the ones that are ok?

 

I'll start the ball rolling.........er...

Stuart Butt is best co-commentator by a long way

David Pleat

 

he makes words and phrases up as he goes along that make sense only to himself

 

I presume they make sense to himself

 

but they probably don't

 

Ian Darke is the best footy commentator when he does the odd game on SKY

Phil Thompson

 

The big nosed tw?t.

Thanks!

 

 

Yeah jamie "my tie and/or suit are clashing with the cameras" redknapp and claridge get on me tits because they are fairly new to it and are therefore wank as the proverbial death.

 

Others who should know better would be thompson on soccer saturday the guys a bell end.

Pascal Shimbomba is a particularly annoying pleatism

All of the ones mentioned and Mark Lawrenson. When he commentates properly he isn't too bad, but he always seems to try to make the lamest jokes possible that just aren't funny.

Although Alan Green for his comments on us simply because his beloved Liverpool team were losing a few years back is the worst.

 

For me Colin Murray is one of the few excellent presenters and should be in a much better spot than Five's UEFA Cup games.

Him and Jim Beglin

Pascal Shimbomba is a particularly annoying pleatism

 

aye, his abilty to pronounce players and team names differently to anyone else will hopefully one day cease to annoy

Elton Welsby - can't stand him, and Pat Nevin for that matter

Alan "did I tell you about when I used to play for liverpool" hansen. Utter utter c unt. I don't even know if he commentates but he's a c unt anyway.

Best is probably Martin Tyler.

I don't dislike the man, but John Barnes is, I think, the only presenter I have seen on TV who hasn't improved at all with practice.

"How much, love?" is one of Pleat's favourite phrases.

He's wooden.... A bit like this mon.
