DA Baracus Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I take it I'm the only one who didn't mind Jacqui Oatley then. Jonathan Pearce is the worst by a mile. Remember the world cup when he didn't know how the goal line technology worked. Martin Keown was explaining it to him like a child and he still wasn't getting it but he kept banging on about it as if he was right and everybody else was wrong He even went on about it in subsequent games. Anyway, Alan Green gets my vote. Just a c**t of a man. Firstly, he actually seems to despise football. Secondly, he doesn't seem to understand foorball. Thirdly, despite being Northern Irish, he seems to be a huge England fan and a monumental sycophant for English football. Fourthly, I just Googled him and looks like a massive arsehole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Even when he discovered it, he didn't have the good grace to admit it. A shot of the scoreboard came up and he said casually "The score is still 1-0 of course. The Robertson goal was disallowed." He really was awful. Would the people nominating ex player, co-commentators please stop? They don't count. McNee did a Rangers game in the CL, probably Kiev. Every single player's name ended in 'ev' or 'ov' so it was obvious how to pronounce them. Except one guy Sergeev. It was obvious he would be pronounced Sergey-ev in the same way as the others but good old Gerry made it rhyme with 'heave' all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis man Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There was a guy who used to do Sportscene (I haven't heard him recently, but within the last 5 years) who sounded like he was commentating on a state funeral. Paul Mitchell his name was and you are correct, made the game sound about as interesting as a q&a with alastair darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Psychosis Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I take it I'm the only one who didn't mind Jacqui Oatley then. Jonathan Pearce is the worst by a mile. Remember the world cup when he didn't know how the goal line technology worked. Martin Keown was explaining it to him like a child and he still wasn't getting it but he kept banging on about it as if he was right and everybody else was wrong Pearce is an absolute car crash. He was still banging on about that goal line incident two or three games later so he can't even be excused from just getting flustered in the heat of the moment. In a Sunderland game recently Defoe missed two sitters, but Pearce informed us that the second "wouldn't have counted, because the linesman has raised his flag for offside". Later in the game he states "Sunderland could have had two goals, if Defoe had taken his chances". He's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Was it Archie McPherson that kept referring to Jean Claude Darcheville as Darkie-ville? And Shinsuke MacNamura. And Marcus De Beasley. And that was well before he became a senile old piss-stained lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when McNee thought Gazza had it in for him and reckoned he tried to take him out with a ball at Ibrox? He then only referred to him as the Rangers No8 from then on. Which now I think about it, No8 is a good name for a drunk racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Clive Tyldesley. There are plenty of awful ones but he deserves extra punches to the face for his wanking over Man U and Liverpool every five seconds, even when they're not playing. I genuinely hope he dies.

The Nightfly Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Our commentators are quite tame when you compare them to the South American ones with their elongated "Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaalll" celebrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I find Motson unbearable now, the only commentator I have to mute. He was maybe good once but it must have been before I started watching televised matches about 25 years ago. Drury is also awful, with his "delicious" goals and "sumptuous" passes. Just comes across a pretentious p***k. The worst summariser I've heard is Hateley, who managed to actually tell you less than you had just seen due to the fact he didn't know anyone's name. "It's a great pass in there by that man and a good finish by that man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was maybe good once but it must have been before I started watching televised matches about 25 years ago. I think he got a lot of respect back then for how professional he was, standing there in the snow in his sheepskin coat, quoting figures, but for me he was really just a ceefax/statto who hadn't an original thought, a real dullard. Once you notice that, you can't really unnotice it. He's got an awful habit of yelling out 'ohhh!' And then telling us what we've already seen.

David W Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Pearce is a totally different commentator when doing Bundesliga/Serie A games on BT Sport. He's actually quite good but repulses me completely when he's on MotD. Bizarre. The worst commentator is Liam McLeod, the worst summariser/co-commentator is without any doubt Derek Ferguson. I'm genuinely surprised he even turns up at the right ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely surprised he even turns up at the right ground. He must have an inner ear imbalance. Two years ago on Open All Mics he alleged that Raith Rovers were shooting down the slope at Starks Park. The slope at Starks Park was eliminated in 1995 when the ground was redeveloped.
