Best and Worst commentators/pundits

Tony Gubba for his name alone

 

I love Ian Darke... we stole him from Sky. :icon_mrgreen: However, he didn't even have the best call of the US goal against Algeria, that honor is bestowed upon the one, the only, Andres Cantor.

Best-Andy Walker
Worst-Any ex hun

 

Ian Crocker at it again:

'HOOPER! He's only gone and scored again, they call this place Paradise and it certainly feels like that now!'

 

"Larsson, Oh hes in, HENRIK LARSSON!! THAT IS SENSATIONAL!!"

"IT'S ANOTHER ONE FOR PAUL LAMBERT!! Three for Celtic, and in Paradise this is the stuff that Celtic dreams are made of!!"

"Nakamuraaaaa!! His first old firm goal, and typicaly, ITS A BEAUTY!! Celtic, rise to the old firm occasion at last!!"

"Mcdonald, VENEGOOR OF HESSELINK!! Theyve done it, JAN VENEGOOR OF HESSELINK ANSWERS THE CELTIC SOS. Save our season, they are STILL, IN, THE TITLE RACE!!"

"Izzaguire, HOOOOOOOPERRR!! Hes only gone and scored again! They call this place Paradise and it certainly feels like that now!!"

I love Ian Crocker man, Always felt as if he has a soft spot for Celtic Martin Tyler is no bad aswell, canny stand Craig Burley

 

Peter Martin on the road to Seville was a legend.

Ian Croker seems to genuinly like Celtic.

Like listining to WGS and Sue Ness. Speak a lot of sense, tell it how it is and dont take any bullshit from the presenters.

Dont like the commentators on Radio Scotland, they all seem old school tie. They kind of raise their voices a wee bit at a goal but you've got to wait about 5 minutes before you find out which team has scored.

Dont like Liniker, smarmy *.

Dont like Hanson and Lawrenson, pair of * full of their own importance..

 

Pat Nevin is pretty perceptive & I've been impressed with Lee Dixon since he started doing it also.

As for worst, there are just too many contenders. The good ones were easy to pick, as there are so many crap ones out there. But special mention has to be made of Burley & Collymore.

As much as I really do not like Burley, Collymore is the absolute pits. It is both amazing and appalling how honestly dreadful he is. Utterly abysmal.

 

Ian Crocker and Martin Tyler for me are superb at calling games, I like Crocker doing the Ireland games as well as Celtic he seems to have a bit of a soft spot for both Celtic and Ireland but doesn't let it creep in too much.
Pundit wise I think Neil McCann is decent, calls it straight down the middle to be honest, although I didn't like him as a player I think Lee Dixon is alright on BBC
As for who I dis-like Motson is def up there, that * Jonathan Pearce and Alan Green on five live he is truly * awful and one bias *.

Clive Tyldesley is the worst, I hate everything about him, but in particular his embarassing attempts to pronounce foreign players' names in their native language, which end up sounding like * Klingon. Xavi = scchhhavi etc

 

Peter Martin = legend

 

Burley and Booth are a pair of *, absolutley horrible horrible *. Booth almost manages to ruin German football.

 

The panels at the world cup when ingurland are playing, especially that "*" Gary "we could win this" Linaker.

 

Ray wilkins does my head in now hes started punditry, burley is the biggest * of all though, egotistical * of the highest order who loves to hear himself speak.

 

Never has a bad word to say about anyone, patronising *.

 

clarence seedorf was top notch when he was in the studio during the world cup.
Peter martin, bill leslie and ian crocker are excellent.

dislike: graham taylor, scott booth, motson, peter houston, the numpty that does the bbc highlights commentary, mark hateley, mark lawrenson, marcel desailly (* is he ever on about?), any ex-referee who feels the need to flap his gums
absolutely any commentator/ pundit who comes out with i dont understand this new offside active inactive business (its your job, howe about learn it and inform your viewing audience instead of moaning about it)

 

Craig Burley, and Craig Paterson are a couple of *. Mick McCarthy at the World Cup was awful, he gave up trying to say Peter Odemwingie when Nigeria brought him on as a sub.
Peter Martin is a legend. I dont mind Jim Beglin if i'm honest, think he is decent.

 

Never felt that myself. I actually think he has taken many a sly dig at Celtic.

Like:

Peter Martin // Eamonn Dunphy // Johnny Giles // Martin Tyler // Jon Champion // Guy Mowbray // Jonathan Pearce (calmed down a lot from the C5 days) // Ian Darke // Martin Keown // soft spot for Mick McCarthy // Guillem Balague // Gab Marchotti // Jamie Redknapp // Garth Crooks (simply because he's an utter buffoon. Like some TV comedy caricature pundit. His metaphors are ludicrously * brilliant) // loved Barry Davies

Dislike: Any commentator doing Scottish football on the BBC. Watched St. Mirren v Aberdeen last week and the co-commentator was the worst I've ever heard. Ever.

Burley (a given) // John Barnes // MARK LAWRENSON (guy knows nothing outside English football and even then...) // Alan Smith (a boring, boring man) // Mark Bright // Alan Hansen (used to be great, but has went the way of Gray by becoming a parody of himself) // Clive "Mr. England" Tyldesley // Sorry lads and ladies - Ian Crocker // Graham Taylor // Adrian Chiles (used to good on MOTD. Now a shambles on ITV)

 

Craig Paterson! He is the worst ever. All he ever says is 'lump it into the mixer and anything can happen'. Dont even know who the * is

 

Best - Clive Tyldlsey & Ian Crocker

Least - John Motson
