"The Voice" of football

Anyone bar that twat Motson, absolutely dreadful commentator.

Rumour he had a bit of a jealous streak when it came to Barry Davies. He was due to Commentate on a WC final but Motty threatened to leave so they gave it to him.

Davies didn’t like Motson at all

As mentioned in an earlier post, a "no commentary" option is rapidly becoming a necessity. A return to the days of single voice without a sidekick would also be a massive improvement. And another thing: ban the commentator from reeling off pointless irrelevant statistics which is passed off as knowledge or insight; shut the fuck up and let us concentrate on the actual match. Rant over.

The old school commentators mentioned here were far superior to the current lot.
Peter Jones gave the ultimate commentary when on duty at Hillsborough. A masterful handling of a tragedy unfolding in front of him.

I used to get a lift from Platt lane after the match when I was a kid, and as I got into the car wet or freezing, that tune was just starting.
