Football Commentators, The Accused

[A Quiet Monkfish]

I agree completely about Vicki Sparks, I can't listen to her for long, apart from that, the women commentators don't bother me and someone like Alex Scott is a better analyst than most of the men,

As for the men, I've never really got why Martin Tyler is so highly rated, same with Motson - Barry Davies was much better than him. Guy Mowbray's alright and I don't mind Johnathan Pearce when he commentates naturally rather than acting at it like he did in his early days. I think Steve Wilson is the best of the current crop though and although the "part Geordie" sounds like a full Geordie to me, I enjoy listening to John Murray.

Do we really need analysts ? Jamie Carragher, Neville spout on before, during and after every game and it's just jibberish. One of the delights of a wet Saturday afternoon when City were away was to sit in front of Gillette Soccer Saturday and enjoy a few middle aged blokes - just like you'd meet at a game - tutting, shaking their heads, having a laugh, a moan. The last thing I want is some smart-arsed bloke or woman explaining the finer points of kicking a bit of leather and plastic around the pitch..

There’s more talking on football highlights shows, than there is action.

I record and fast forward

I do the same with your posts on here.


Just teasing, old fruit

Tyldesley has got to be the worst ever.
Completely OTT and would be better suited to radio commentary as he would make the listener think the drab nil nil was a classic.

If an analyst tells me something about a game I hadn’t noticed I’ve got no problem with them and Alex Scott has done that a few times.
