Andy Hinchcliffe

He’s an irritating little Bellend with his cringy one liners that he laughs at himself in the background but just close enough to the mic for everybody to hear him
 
The biggest thing that does my head in about him is that he gets completely carried away when an incident happens in a game and runs away with what he thinks has happened before seeing a replay… then the replay proves him completely wrong but he sticks to his guns.

Like his insistence that Stones led with his arm in the first half when defending a high ball just inside the penalty box can’t remember the Newcastle player - replay showed it was his chest but Hinchcliffe still insinuated it could/should have been a penalty. He is a one bitter ex blue makes you wonder what the story is
 
Frying pan face must have found out half the City team scuttled his bird for him to behave like he does when commentating on us. He forgets without Manchester City he doesn’t get anywhere near a job in the media.
 
I've met him a couple of times at various functions, always came across as a right arrogant git, it's not a surprise to me that he hates City with the way he is, nothing could be better than the immeasurable talent, skill and chin of that guy, git

To be fair, both Shearer (ok, bit biased) & Defoe (Ex Sunderland so no bias) both thought it was a penalty on MOTD as well

City treated him like shit. He's well within his rights to be bitter towards us. Thanks Peter Swailes.

Pretty much anyone who may have treated him like shit back then is well gone and nothing to do with the current club. If he had any problems back then, he should have issue with the people involved, not a football club which is 99% different to the one he encountered.

I've previously thought he was ok, despite people on here saying how biased he was. I've changed my mind after yesterday, he was horrendous throughout. He either planned to be that way or got caught up in the atmosphere - either way, it's shit commentating.
 
I think once you’ve conditioned your brain to think in a certain way, you hear what you’re expecting to hear.

He’s a painfully poor co- commentator in my opinion but I can’t say I’ve ever got the impression he’s particularly anti City.

I wish he’d put a Jonny over his head when he’s commentating…!
 
I’ve said it before, saw him in a car park in Wilmslow when my little lad was 3 and had his City top on, was waiting to pay for ticket behind him, when he’d paid as he was facing us about 3 feet away (2 feet allowing for his nose) I said to my little lad “this gentleman used to play for City”, the ignorant **** completely blanked us, and walked off, lovely behaviour towards a 3 year old.

The problem is that the role of the in match pundit doesn't exist. Has any co-commentator ever said anything that has brought some insight to the game? No.
The broadcaster should give an option to mute the commentators but keep the crowd noise.

UK broadcasters nick every idea they have from American sports. Generally they’re improvements but they started copying the idea of a co-commentator probably around about the late 80s/ early 90s. The trouble it seems they’ve never really bothered to study exactly what the US co-comms guy brings to the party. Some of the NFL ex players are incredible. They’re calling fouls within a second of them being committed. Before any normal fan could ever see them. The UK just seemed to have assumed two must be better than one and have the ex pro monotonously repeating what the first guy has just said. Or coming out with a never ending stream of gems like… Should have done better there.
