Adepizza Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I like Gary Neville for his enthusiasm. Mark Lawrenson is a cynical, sarcastic and unfunny, baggy-faced coont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Inspired by this: http://www.guardian....l/2007/nov/30/1 - I wondered who your best and worst footy commentators were? For me ... Best Barry Davies - Such a shame he spent his career as second fiddle to the useless Jon Motson Martin Tyler - You've got to say he's fantastic, great voice, great knowledge Alan Green - I know he's a bit of a Marmite commentator but I love his passion and opinionated nature Worst Jon Motson - Sooooo irritating Mark Lawrenson - Try commentating on the football for once rather than make sh*t joke nobody finds funny Clive Tysley - Tries to script his entire commentary before the game even kicks off, I remember he saying "Messi, he only ever lends the ball to other players" and I could just picture his smug face at the back of the commentary box nodding and thinking "you're great Clive Can't disagree with that to be honest. I always loved Barry Davies when I was a kid and always gutted Motson got the big games instead of him. And with Martin Tyler, he helped beef up some of the finest non-Wednesday moments of the premier league era, e.g. "Collymore closing innnnnn" "absolutely glorious" "Shearaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramone Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hugh Porter, yes. Phil Liggett is also an absolute legend. have a look at this (watch the video) - send shivers down your spine - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19172825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest j bell Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Agree that Motson is up there with the worse, he should retire as he's starting to sound like an old man in a nursing home rambling on. Also in a non-sexist way that bird who crops up on match of the day or fls every now and then, she is an awful, awful commentator. sounds like a poo poo voice over on a poo poo kung fu film!!! Not sure who the best is, i'd probably go for Martin Tyler as well. agree, her name is Jacquie Oatley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LW SWFC Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Martin Tyler is a fantastic commentator, he genuinely makes special footballing moments feel even more special. I think Mark Lawrenson is just so bad that he is funny, the definition of campness, so cringeworthy. I cannot abide Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend, the latter being one of the most stuck up arseholes on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
