Bit like Boris Johnson but not quite as bad.😀Originally Posted by dml1954
He said early on that if Wales didn’t concede then Switzerland would have to win by 5 to overtake us. He isn’t the brightest is he.
Hartson, earnshaws, ledely, robson-kanu I know people say footballers aren't the brightest but don't couldn't have picked many worse.
Commentator: “The Italian fans booing Bale there, do you think that’s a mark of respect John?”
Hartson: “Well, you never hear fans booing bad players do you?”
He was terrible, he said early on he liked the false number 9 tactic. After Italy scored he said Wales shouldn’t play that way as it doesn’t work - great analysis!
It's clearly not something that comes natural to him.
Him and savage would make a great early 2000's sky fan zone pairing.
Was a bit like the guy down the pub, never a red ref, all he has done is stamp down on his ankle.
Lets be fair. Hartson’s lucky to still be with us after his cancer scare, so as far as i’m concerned, he can say what he wants.
There aren’t many decent commentators out there any way. At least you can have a chuckle at some of his ramblings 😁😁
Definitely better on the radio (or should I say less worse?) where summarisers speak less.
He tries to be articulate but just keeps repeating the same stuff about pride, passion teamwork, commitment etc without actually offering any insight into the game.
I am very glad he defeated cancer but he's a shite pundit
Maybe we should just get some bloke from down the pub who has got no legs
Do you really need someone to tell you how the games going? Most of them spout nonsense anyway. Some geezer from a boozer with no legs would do for me.
John Hartson once acted as a babysitter for my son for about half an hour.
Lovely Welsh lad , had dreadful health issues and conquered them .
Did he lose him on 35 mins?
So we get Savage on co-commentary for the BBC games and Hartson for the ITV games. What did we do to deserve this?
Who should we have
Toshack
I thought Ernie was very good.
same here come across very level headed too
Mark Hughes
Electric energetic personality
thats what John hartson is basically
I thought he spoke well.
Coaching since he stopped playing seems to have given him a greater in depth knowledge of the game.
Earnie was fine.
Hughes (even when a miserable git) and Taylor are OK. Savage and Ashley Williams are very good. Bellers was always good. Coleman is good.
Unfortunately Hartson is usually poor. Ledley and Robson-Kanu are uncomfortable and wooden - and add almost nothing as pundits. So ITV had three duds out of four, made worse by Mark Pougatch who must be the dullest of BBC/ITV/Sky main presenters.
Still, who cares. Wales second in group and all is well with the world!
Years ago, when Jazz Richards was just starting at Swansea I heard him being interviewed on Radio Wales. He was one of the most articulate footballers that I have ever heard.
