Pundits/co Commentators?

[Gray]

With Ally McCoist there is one word that springs to mind:

ABSOLUTELY

What makes me laugh is all the failed ex managers they have giving their views on how teams should play.

What’s even funnier for me is people like Hinchcliffe saying what world class defenders and world class strikers should have done in any given situation, like he was anywhere near their level and could have done it himself !

Laura Woods has an annoying habit of saying "a.m" and "this morning" together, eg, "at 9am this morning".
As a.m means before mid day, there is no need to use both.
Please stop!

She talks on radio like pillow talk

Some twat pointed out to me the other day that all the co-commentators have an annoying habit of saying “By the way” before or after every other line they trot out. I’d never noticed it before but I do now. Every fucking time. And now so will anybody whose just read the above.

Hopefully LW will take heed....

I don't think I shall live long enough to get used to female commentary: it's just fucking shrill that it cuts through you like Quint's fingernails on the blackboard in that famous scene from 'Jaws.'
People say they are used to Gabby Logan's voice but that is because she's been around for a long time and we're accustomed to it. There'll come a time when we are all used to female commentaries, but as I say, I don't think I'll be around.

As for Jonathan Pearce, he more than any other commentator makes me immediately switch off and do something else. I would honestly rather not watch a game if he is commentating. The mute button is an option but I like to hear the crowd.
Pearce gets so over-excited I always feel he's going to have a heart attack. Screaming into the mic: "Oh my God! Absolutely extraordinary...it's a throw-in!" He gets so moist he's like a blind lesbian in a fish market.

Before the game, at half-time, and at the full-time whistle we have the same tired old pundits wheeled out for no good reason whatsoever in order to give us the benefit of their knowledge of the game. Shearer, Ian Wright, Camelgob, Ratboy...jobs for the boys, basically.

"A blind lesbian in a fish market", lol.
I'm going to be using that mate.

Commentators are ok, it’s weird watching on tv without commentary,even though I can see exactly what’s happening.

I don’t think there’s any need for a co-commentator though, particularly as I cannot recall any one of them ever adding any insight into a game that’s on or even in general, despite them having played it professionally. They would be interesting if they were allowed to provide juicy details such as player X hates player Y because of this, or a certain manager because of that, but I guess lawyers have already put a stop to any of that.

But they don’t even offer anything useful about playing the game, like deBruyne’s pass was weighted perfectly because he struck the ball a certain way, with that amount of body lean, or something that maybe we could then try and learn. All co-commentators just state the obvious.

Considering the fact that he's a rag, Mark Chapman is probably the best presenter that football has in England right now. When you take into account the start of this post that's some achievement.

My Dad knows Mark. He’s a sound bloke.

He is someone who does take his job seriously.

He never knew much about rugby league or American played-with-the-hands-football before he started presenting those sports, but he proper got into them.

ABSOLUTELY

For me it’s a 4 letter word beginning with C.
