You beat me to the punch.

The 'look at me' antics of the drug dodger,McMinimum & others is nauseous and detracts from the product.

TV games DON'T need self serving co commentators,panelists or pundits.

A single knowledgeable independent commentator who can analyse the game and key incidents, but let the game speak for itself, is all that's required.

The money that can be saved and used to reduce charges will be huge.

When you look back at the edge, the incite, the probing questions, the analysis, the summing up - when you watch the old matches - Coleman, Moore, Hill period - you actually think christ, weren't people more articulate and wow did they really ask that? You maybe didn't think it at the time, probably complained then too. But quite how it's regressed to this fayre is a shocking reflection. Saint and G was probably the start of the amoebaing down - but even they were Frost and Ludovic Kennedy, comperd the the present pillocks.

Thousand of times.

Apparently it wasn't then and it's not true because it has been discredited before.
Sound familiar?

I’ll store this story in my back pocket for when any dipper follower decides to mention money, cheating or charges to me at work.

Would love to know how many people actually watch pre match, half time and full time analysis. For me I just tune in at kick off and here at half time full time. Actually watch it on foreign streams to avoid the equally bad commentary. Sky are missing a trick here, could save themselves a fortune and dump the lot of them, just show the game with at most one person commentating. Dont think to many would be bothered if neville, carragher, keane, richards etc etc disappeared from our screens forever.

They hardly watch anything they have an attention span of about 15 seconds, they watch in between viral tick tock posts.

Spot on it all started to go wrong at the 1970 World Cup when at least the panel were experts and England were after all World Champions but to find ourselves having to listen to the individual views of a so called expert ex player and a panel of English serial failures is a disgrace…….. then when you think it can’t get any worse we are now subjected to the incommentary back up views of people who have never played the man’s game and probably never played in front of more than 4K people but have 500 England caps hence their expert status ffs

I abstain from it however more dippers tuning in to watch Klopp waving at the Kop than City lifting a trophy tells you where their demographic is. As for their punditry it’s a race to the bottom for stupidity with both Caragher and Keane trying to lay into Haaland when he’s won the golden boot two seasons running at the age of 23.

Never got the criticism about amount of people watching Citys trophy lift. Lets face it only City fans will tune in, i for one would never be arsed watching any other team lift a trophy as for the dipper flith well they are just a wierd messed up cult.

And anyone who can watch Micha Richards is beyond help, I could not care if he ever wore our shirt, the guy is a clown and a thick and unfunny one at that, no surprise that Souness left when he did.

It amazes me that on his topic on here on which I am sadly banned from replying, people are annoyed that he does not support us more in the media because he wore our shirt for a short time.

WTF, I thought the idea of a pundit was to give neutral and honest views from an ex players prospective.

The clown does nothing but laugh and make stereotypical soundbites that add nothing to any conversation.

That used to be the idea now we have fawning ex players who apparently can be trusted to give subjective views on matches.

That was and still is incredible.

The man is still getting hundreds of mentions for winning one title, one *ucking title, that man that saved the dippers FFS.

And what an insult to Shankley, Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish to mention Klopp in the same breath as them!

its recency bias, its endemic to society, that everything is what have you done for me lately and any nods to the past and respect for that is now forgotten, one of the phrases which annoys me most is oh that was before my time, like what do you think you appeared and anything that happened prior to that moment is now irrelevant.

....one can be trusted to spit in the face of a young girl.

Another can be trusted to to cheat on his cancer stricken dying wife and dodge drug tests.

Several of the others have lengthy rap sheets for hypocrisy and antisocial, self serving activities often using other people's money.

All are cunts !!

Commentary is an art form , the greatest ever cricket commentator was Richie Benaud, the guy often did not speak for minutes on end he simply let the action do the talking.

Football is a game of opinions and so it should be, I don't need a sad , bitter ex pro telling me how good a player, team or manager is, I will make my own mind up thank you.

Tbf, The Saint was in there to provide a balance for Greaves's ott buffoonery. I met ISJ when he did some broadcast work for SIS who supplied live racing and data to betting shops. He was a really good guy who had a word for anyone who stopped to talk to him, unfortunately the same can't be said for Greaves, great footballer, not a nice human.

As a teenage cricket fan during the school holidays I was pretty much glued to the TV to watch the England Test Matches, Ritchie Benaud opened one day with:

Good morning
It's a lovely day for cricket
And if you haven't got a ticket
You're not getting in

No waffle, just told it as it was, I agree the greatest ever Cricket Commentator and probably the best Sports Commentator there's been in my lifetime, I also enjoyed listening to Peter Alliss on the golf.

Cricket is a completely different standard of commentary? Players all go up to appeal lbw. On field commentator has seen it once. How many times do you hear "reckon it pitched outside" or "think that's going over". They watch the game and are aware of the rules. They put football commentators to shame
