Pundits/co Commentators?

[dadnlad]

Most of the pundits who are such experts on how to coach were abject failures when they tried it.

Is Roy Keane acting in SAS Rogue Heroes playing the part of the mad Irishman? Looks like him/

They should be handing out name tags to those sat in the TV studios, I haven’t a scooby who half of them are..

Is there any chance they can pay off that ex referee that was useless when he on the whistle, never ever disagrees with any on field decision.

Roberto Martinez say's Hi

Err yes…
Currently managing one of the most talented Belgium squads ever and done nothing with them.
Admittedly, compared to Shearer and Neville’s coaching careers that makes him a raging success.

From what I've seen so far, Laura Woods is easy on the eye, but needs a lot of work on her presenting skills. I like Gabby Logan as a presenter though.

Chris Sutton on the radio is always looking to be controversial, or to wind up the commentator. Fine if it's Robbie Savage on the Saturday phone in, but it's not what we want when trying to listen to a game whilst driving.

Ashley Williams always gives fair, unbiased comment. Nigel De Jong and Joe Cole are ok.

Shearer is not used to being a co-commentator, and it shows. He tries to balance commentary with being a rubbish comedian. Just concentrate on commenting on the football Alan, and leave the scripted jokes to your mate Gary.

I don't mind Ally McCoist, unlike others on here.

One of my favourites though, is Pat Nevin. He's always fair, and appreciates skillful football.

Tyldesley is commentating as I type, and he can spout a good deal of meaningless drivel at times.

On another note, is anyone else getting the impression from all these thought provoking, deep interviews, that Declan Rice is being groomed to be the next England captain?

I think punditry is crying out for players with insight into the game. We get just get the famous faces from yesteryear no matter how basic their knowledge or input.

Some of the female pundits are good since they don't have the historical tribalism on full display.

I often watch matches with the sound off and listening to music. I've never really looked into whether there's an audio option for crowd noise only, like at actual matches. Would choose that.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

So nobody has heard anything they have seen. So what is the point of these pundits/ Co commentators??

 

[jamesha]

Too many ex-players with their biased support/views/agendas, others forcing studio bantz & constant references to their own player career (Wio can't do a stint of punditry without mentioning what he did at old scaffold a decade ago)

Not enough ex-managers to give us a managers-eyed perspective on things.

It would be great to see more successful managers given a role. Souness is probably better than most but has the profile to get the gig. I would have liked to see the likes of Joe Royle get an chance - probably a bit old now.

For a long time now my brain has automatically switched off when watching footy on TV. I do however enjoy the expert opinions of those around me at the Etihad. At times it's a load of bollocks but at least I can join in with it :-)
