Alan Hansen

[Gabriel]

His career at the BBC is one, of many, ridiculous wastes of money. He has sat for years repeating the same 'two banks of four' mantra for every team that manages to keep/fail to keep a clean sheet. That's inane, but quite how how someone can be paid a fortune for telling the viewer that what they're seeing is "just unbelievably good" and "that pass was just absolutely unbelievable" is beyond my ken.

My favourite is the oft repeated rhetorical with incredulous intonation: "I mean, just how good was that?" I've no idea Alan. I really haven't, because I never played the game and don't have your penetrating insight, but I'd imagine it was 'unbelievably unbelievable'.

As for Scotland he should have tackled the bloody Soviet and not his own player. That was, as he'd now say "diabolical defending".

He was a great Cb in one of the most successful teams in Europe. IF Vinnie ends up as good we'll be very lucky.

He is however well past his pundit shelf life and has gone from insightful defensive analyst in the 90's through deep thinking football insider in the 00's to a comical parody of his own caricature. He needs to find a new role or take a long sabbatical as he has pretty much nothing to say about anything which is of interest these days.
