This reminds me of Motson commentating on us on Match of the Day when Jakupovic was playing in the Prem last time round, it seemed like he forgot his name because he was just 'the goalkeeper' all match
I used to rate Motson until he teamed up with ubber idiot Lawrenson, then they became the Laurie and Hardy of commentating with lame jokes and school boy wit. But the worst co-commentator had to be Brooking who would just tell you what happened...
I don't miss Brooking at all, a real relic, not sure how many times he would mention he couldn't head the ball as a player and scored the winner with a header once but it was too many!
Stuart Barnes is excellent on rugby. McEnroe on Wimbledon. Nick balling was good as a summariser on the nfl
FFS I pads are ****. They're evil. They go behind you re writing what you've put. You picky ****. See see what it did there...
No thought id missed summat. Yeah i liked Nick on the NFL especially when they did the Turkey on thanksgiving with Cecil
Danny Murphy always comes across well. Jeff Stelling classic quote: "they'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight "
There was an annoying person commentating yesterday, replayed our defender chesting it out of the area about 20 times before insisting it was penalty in his (biased) eyes.
Remember City v Luton in the 71-72 season, Bazza at the mike, and he kept pronouncing Ken Houghton's name as 'Horton'. What a **** , I thought at the time, but I later grew to appreciate his honesty and analysis, unlike Motson who just comes over as a creep with a Rothmans Year Book who has memorised every player's name and their stats.
I rate Joe Royle as a good co-commentator...Also like Jenas, and Waddle who say it like it is.. Murphy, Townsend Keown, are a set of tools.
Re David Pleat; an old schoolfriend of mine was a young journalist in Luton and sold the Pleat kerbcrawling story to the Sun. As he wasn't yet at Spurs it was only worth £30. They still published it, and it didn't halt his career, but £30? Tight gits.
