martyn8484 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I hope that C0ckwomble isn't commentating tonight, he seems to hate us with a passion, does zero research and generally needs a good kick in the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleowl74 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think we are probably irrelevant to him which is worse than him hating us. Agree with the research part. Was poor last time he commentated on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he hates us. He's just clueless and therefore makes ill informed comments. The likes of him, Keown and Garth Crooks need putting out to pasture.

trev Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 He gets paid to talk rubbish. Let's be honest he's not going to put hours of research into a midtable championship club is he? He will get paid if he does or doesn't so why work harder? He will just talk about City all night anyway and when he does mention us he will call us "Sheffield".

Westfield Owl Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I don’t think Lawro hates us. He’s just a lazy ex-pro that has lost his love for the game but keeps up his media work because the money is too good to turn down. Watching SWFC is a bad enough for those of us that have an emotional investment in the club, let alone for those that don’t. Do you honestly expect commentators to fake interest about us? As though the last 25 years haven’t happened and pretend that we’re still a big draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 That’s the problem with most “pundits”. They know nothing about the game outside the top flight. Fully expect whoever is commentating to be flabbergasted that the ground is half empty, without knowing the full facts of our situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was poor last time he commentated on us. Like the away game at Swansea a couple of years ago. Regularly commented on our injury list and how the manger had just joined. Some people on here ought to look up the word research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though that the whole "he hates us" thing is embarrassing. 99% of pundits will be totally indifferent to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Tbf, Lawro is a Preston North End fan, so he is probably more likely to have some knowledge about us (and how crap we currently are) than the other pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I will say though that he is an awful co-commentator and has been for years now. Seems to be very much aware of the fact that he is know for being dour and miserable, so plays up to it for the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago at Swansea he refused to believe the commentator who stated we had 15 first team players out injured. A bit of research would have told that was the case. It's plain ignorant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
