Pearce is almost as bad as Green and Motty!
He was going on about the 'last man' in the MDM yellow card incident. Odd, but you would think someone who is employed to commentate on football might know the 'last man' rule doesn't exist!

I've reached the stage where if I hear Jonathan Pearce is commentating I press the mute button. He is just way, way too over-excited all the bloody time. A little while ago (can't remember the teams) on MotD, one side scored, and a bit later the other side equalised. Pearce was literally screaming at the top of his voice "Absolutely extraordinary!" WTF! How is it fucking 'absolutely extraordinary' simply because a goal has been scored?
Motson needs putting out to grass. He's become a caricature of himself and now just mumbles incoherently about utter irrelevancies. I'm old enough to remember people like Brian Moore (The Big Match, anyone?) who would commentate on what was happening on the pitch, not use his position to force his opinions down everyone"s neck.
Basically, I just feel MotD has become a tired, formulaic run-of-the-mill waste of time.

Football on BBC is a Mickey Mouse production. They clearly are incompetent at their jobs when it comes to football.
They've been playing that for years at Watford. Heard it in the background on the radio earlier and I wondered why? No doubt it is a scousers/Neverton original but when did Watford start and why...? It may be that they were playing it before Everton. I'm sure I remember hearing it there when we played them in th FA cup replay (0-0 fucking freezing) back in the early 80's only for us to win the toss for home advantage and lose....Did I hear the Z-Cars theme at Watford?
Edit: A quick bit of research on Google.... From wickipedia via the Oatcake (Stoke I think)
Watford F.C. also adopted the theme in the early 1960s, as it was then manager Bill McGarry's favourite TV programme. It has been played as the players come onto pitch since then. During the rise of the club through the leagues in the 1970s and 1980s it became associated with the club's success under manager Graham Taylor

Pearce looked like he has been dragged out of the boozer after a 48 hour bender and thrown in the shower 5 mins before his Sky slot yesterday evening.
That and his actual record as a football manager leaves me thinking what he says has no weight whatsoever.

I think Mike N was talking about the MOTD commentator Jonathan Pearce rather than Stupid Stu.Pearce looked like he has been dragged out of the boozer after a 48 hour bender and thrown in the shower 5 mins before his Sky slot yesterday evening.

Clue - it's the MOTD thread...

My bad, apologies.
Point still stands though ;-)
