Women spoil men’s football….there, I’ve said it.
I’d take the vuvuzelas over him.Have you heard Danny Murphy?
Nice insight into your personal lifeHearing Dublin’s voice makes me think I’m dogging work and watching Homes Under the Hammer
Well it would Beat The Clock!
Danny Murphy,They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)
Just talked absolute fucking drivel the whole game with the insight of two Sunday league players
Is this what the BBC have come to?
The decline of the BBC is genuinely sad KR. Re this particular commentary, didn’t catch it myself, but Dublin is useless. And is the woman the one who shouts all the time? Excruciating.They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)

There's some decent female journalists that pop up on the usual podcasts. Amy Lawrence, Natalie Gedra, nicky bandini (ahem). But robyn Cowan is brutal. Pops up on football weekly every now and again, and did football clichés as well but she's awful. Adds nothing.I’ve edited your post.
I’m a huge supporter of women watching, playing, refereeing football.
But they should have no place whatsoever in the men’s game. There is an entire women’s game for women to play, referee and be pundits upon
It really was utter earache from start to finish. Truly diabolical. Eventually had to mute it in the second half.They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)

Not what I think about when out dogging.Hearing Dublin’s voice makes me think I’m dogging work and watching Homes Under the Hammer
But in his defence and if you wanted to make up a new saying then lockup makes sense as it effectively 10 bags of tricks rather than a bag of tricks in a locker.Posted on another thread that he said “ he has that in his lockup” think he meant “locker”
Sutton on Radio 5 this morning did a quiz about players at this WC. He had one minute to name one player from each team. He got three! He spent most of the minute telling us about Maeda of Celtic and ran out of time. He does love the sound of his own voice as much as he loves Celtic.It's bad when listening to Sutton on 5live is the better option.
Called diversity !They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)

Has Dublin done other commentary gigs before because that was amateur hourActually don't mind Dion Dublin. At least he sounds as if he wants to be there which is more than you can say for the dour face cunts like Dixon, Keown, Murphy etc.

This is it. Why people don't just hit the red button or head to the iPlayer is beyond me.They were terrible, if you watch on the iplayer you can choose the Radio 5live commentary instead.
Sutton is regularly on 5Live.This is it. Why people don't just hit the red button or head to the iPlayer is beyond me.
Keown said something the last time he was on that was utterly retarded..Actually don't mind Dion Dublin. At least he sounds as if he wants to be there which is more than you can say for the dour face cunts like Dixon, Keown, Murphy etc.
Almost makes mark lawrenson sound happy.Have you heard Danny Murphy?
He should stick to commentating on the sale of 1 bedroom flats in Croydon.Always thought Dion was a poor pundit tbh.
To be fair that’s not always the case nowadays- some skip and hop like a wee lassie playing in a field of daisies for a perfume advert.Loved it when Dion said Lewandowski should just run up and strike it at the pen re-take. Isn't that what all penalty takers do -- run up and strike it?
Maybe that’s why he’s always on the daytime matches.He should stick to commentating on the sale of 1 bedroom flats in Croydon.
Then we had to suffer MuttonThis is it. Why people don't just hit the red button or head to the iPlayer is beyond me.
They need to get in the swingWell it would Beat The Clock!
She said " it won't effect the scoreline " after Poland scored.
She is a nightmare and shouts a lot of the time. Only there for quotas, This WC has been awful for female overload.They gave us the worst 90 minutes of commentary I've ever heard ( that is a bold statement with crocker etc)

A real blast from the past there. Loved his commentary.The BBC are really just pathetic in their presentation of this WC. Having said that they have been on a downward spiral for quite a few years now. It’s sad to see after having been spoilt with the likes of David Coleman Barry Davies, Tony Gubba back in the seventies.
I suppose they have to learn the skill, and they can only do that by commentating. The female pundits, with the exception of Aluko, have generally been good, although at one point I thought Alex Scott was presenting in place of Chappers - he looked pissed off about it too.I am dipping in and out of this world cup. If I am honest its boring me to tears.
I switched on at the start of the second half for the France/Poland game, I heard Dublin was commentating and that monotone female commentator and I thought %^*& here we go, then I noticed there was next to no sound from the crowd, the stadium looked half full, you hear the players very clearly shouting like it was a closed doors match during covid. It was grim, turned off after France second as I was just bored.
Same with the England game watched 20 mins of the first half then about 30 of the second half, I thought Senegal were absolutely stinking. I mean the pundits tried to build it up more as if Senegal were good but they were mid table to lower end EPL standard, yet they are champions of Africa, I think that shows how bad the rest of Africa is. As for Lee Dixon commentating, its pathetic. He should've been dropped a long time ago.
Hartson, Dixon, Pearce, Dublin, all the female commentators have all been extremely poor. Dublin and Hartson being the worst. Pundits, Shearer etc all just manage to turn every conversation round to England, boring as hell. As for Alex Scott, she was actually good when she started out, talked a bit of sense but now she just manages to turn every single topic round to her and something she has done. Her ego has taken over.
Fair point but he's not always onThen we had to suffer Mutton
Was horrific.
The wee fckin "jokes" between each other were the height of absolute cringe.
