World Cup Commentators/Pundits - Let’s slag them off

[TCWNS1872]

Most have been chronic to be fair. It is pretty stilted stuff.

The virtue signalling panels would put you off it to be honest.

 

[SDF]

Do you think Joe Cole and Karen Carney go to the same branch of MENSA ?

 

[Erik Bo Selecta Anderson]

It’s got to the point where I’m only tuning in bang on kick off, cba with the rest of it. Even the HT ‘analysis’ gets muted

 

[VGM]

Do you think Joe Cole and Karen Carney go to the same branch of MENSA ?

I hated Cole, until he said us winning the EL would be fantastic considering the decade we had had.

He’s still a fud though

 

[Macdonsj]

Gabby Agbonlahor on talksport

England should rest the team versus Wales as their 2nd XI would beat them

Might be merit in that but given that the first XI couldn't beat the USA, idiotic timing

 

[6Counties]

Is there a human being alive on the planet with less charisma than Lee Dixon?

Martin Keown.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Listening to this Hartson c*nt is the reason I want both Japan and Australia pumped in this WC.

He was asked where the hottest place he had played was This morning.

‘Tunisia, in a qualifier‘ was the answer

Emmm, was that a World Cup qualifier John?

He was also part of the Joe Miller side that represented Earth against Mars in a friendly a few years back.

 

[willowbankbear]

Just watched the highlights of Japan v Costa Rica , when Costa Rica score listen to the groan of hartson !!!!
I burst out laughing - thought the commentators were meant to be neutral ??

 

[Thommo2006]

Who's the co commentator in the Canada game?

I'm sure he's just said look at the rizz he gets on the cross.

The fucking what?

 

[DejaVoodoo]

Martin Keown.

 

[SCG]

Eni Aluko was some buzz last night. Wales got a point off the USA so "they can probably afford to rest Bale on Friday v Iran, can't they?"

The f*ck ye on about hen??

To quote a certain GS. It's a man's game

 

[numberonecynic]

It’s got to the point where I’m only tuning in bang on kick off, cba with the rest of it. Even the HT ‘analysis’ gets muted

I do exactly the same

 

[chickenhawk]

It's all sh1te.
Give me Des Lynam, Alan Hansen and Jimmy Hill any day.

 

[strathavenbear]

Maybe it's because I don't like Lineker, but I find the BBC a better watch when Mark Chapman or Gabby Logan are presenting.
Pougach on ITV is an arse as well.

 

[willowbankbear]

I do exactly the same

Me also , I’m not interested in what Alex Scott has to say , too busy drooling over her but I tend to switch off at ht or take the dowg a quick walk round the block to avoid these bampots

 

[Pentasa]

Martin Keown.

A man who makes you yearn for the heady days of Mark Lawrenson

 

[willowbankbear]

A man who makes you yearn for the heady days of Mark Lawrenson

No , I’m sorry keown is appalling but no , lawrenson finally got binned thankfully , I do not want him back nor do I want to wish him on anyone else’s eardrums

 

[Nikau's Mullet]

Maybe it's because I don't like Lineker, but I find the BBC a better watch when Mark Chapman or Gabby Logan are presenting.

Chapman is the best sports presenter the BBC has.
He also treats Sutton as a joke on the Monday night club on 5 live which is a bonus.

 

[Sanchez D-S]

Do you think Joe Cole and Karen Carney go to the same branch of MENSA ?

Same branch of NA, maybe.

 

[Morelos20]

Shearer causing a 60 second silence with his patter there, commentator stunned into silence

 

[Albert Bridge Bear]

Shearer is possibly more annoying than Dion Dublin ffs.

 

[Leif Erikson]

Shearer is sending me to sleep. How are these guys picked? It seems like they actively go out their way to find the most boring, annoying bastards possible.

 

[6Counties]

Shearer is basically Danny Murphy.

 

[cambo]

It's all sh1te.
Give me Des Lynam, Alan Hansen and Jimmy Hill any day.

Pat Crerand, Brian Clough, Malcom Allison and Brian Moore………..

It’s an age thing!

 

[FriendsDontLie]

A man who makes you yearn for the heady days of Mark Lawrenson

Forgot about that lady's front bottom

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Shearer is basically Danny Murphy.

Baldy wanks

A few of them do that to Sutton to be fair. I don't think Kelly Cates has any time for him.

 

[greigsdestiny]

I’m sorry but take me make back to 70s/80s with Brian Moore & Brian Clough. This lot are brutal , Ally McCoist apart

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Just watched the highlights of Japan v Costa Rica , when Costa Rica score listen to the groan of hartson !!!!

Probably lost a few quid on it.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

.

 

[VGM]

Probably lost a few quid on it.

On someone else’s debit card.

 

[claddie]

I lke Alex Scott as a pundit but shes brutal as a commentator

 

[Starky55]

I lke Alex Scott as a pundit but shes brutal as a commentator

Can’t stand her, tries to hard and wants everything to be about her

 

[Raffles]

Martin Keown.

If at all possible, Dixon is even more uninteristing

 

[rossgers]

Shearer is thick as mince. Commentator: "VAR check over". Shearer: "Good."
Thanks for the insight Alan.

 

[muss]

Ally is the man if you follow twitter.

 

[ChesterBear72]

Alex Scott was on with Rushie the other day and came out with this pearler: "We've all done it haven't we Ian, in training and played a Worldy pass...". Yes, Alex, he's Ian Rush, he probably has. He's won the European Cup a couple of times, your definition a "Worldy" will be vastly different from his.

I am fcking sick of these false comparisons they keep drawing between top end professional football and...Well, women's football. I scored 5 tries in a rugby match once, when I was 15, I don't ever recall Bill McLaren asking me to co-commentate on the 6-Nations!

 

[bluetonic]

Bring back John Motson and Barry Davies for one game each, please BBC!

 

[bpfurian]

Let's be honest,they're all shite.
Watching all football with the volume off is always the best option.

Thank God for the mute button and being able to switch channels at half time and full time.
Listening to the pish all those blowhards waffle would give a headache a headache ffs.

 

[Napsburybear]

Radio commentators are much better. Was listening to Connor McNammara on 5 live yesterday doing the Japan game. Him and his co commentator were really slagging the game off, stating it had been the dullest of the world cup, then could not contain their delight when CR scored.

 

[Corrado_Soprano]

Hartson and Aluko on ITV this morning

 

[Paisleybear30]

Shearer causing a 60 second silence with his patter there, commentator stunned into silence

Was that when he said something about Lineker saying "don't forget about me" back in the studio.

I genuinely wondered if the silence was because the producers were having a word in their ears and giving him a telling off for the cissy voice he did in his impression.

 

[calderbear]

It's all sh1te.
Give me Des Lynam, Alan Hansen and Jimmy Hill any day.

Even now Jimmy Hill sounds better and talks more sense than Hartson et al.

 

[Thommo2006]

Ally is the man if you follow twitter.

He replied and liked a couple of my comments on instagram, possibly the happiest day of my life haha

Can't remember the game might have been the saudis v Poland. The 2 women pundits came out with we've been the away team playing in Canada so know what it's like to come into this kind of atmosphere.

I'm guessing the atmosphere was nothing like that one they were commentating on

 

[calderbear]

I’m sorry but take me make back to 70s/80s with Brian Moore & Brian Clough. This lot are brutal , Ally McCoist apart

Still love the absolutely classic interview between Brian Clough and Don Revie when Clough was at Leeds.
It was brutally honest and totally captivating and just wouldn't be allowed on today's woke tv.
Good thing is that it is still available to view on YouTube.

 

[6Counties]

‘Sent him for a bagel’ wtf lol

 

[Morelos20]

Yeah that was the one mate

 

[Fin5769]

John Hartson on co-commentary is a cure for insomnia.
