Best football commentator?

[zimbo]

Couldn't agree more. I used to dislike Motson more when I was kid because he was all statty and boring but once I started hearing the woefully judgmental sermonising from Davies...ooh, shudder.

Used to quite like Motson, certainly in comparison with Davies.

Now I find it immensely unconfortable listening to him, particularly when in tandem with fellow Chuckle Brother Lawrenson. The number of times he gets his facts blatantly wrong or doesn't see something that would be screamingly obvious to Ray Charles boggles the mind:

"Well, I couldn't see anything wrong with that, could you Mark?"

"Not sure Motty, I think there may have been an offside."

"It's certainly a strange decision, as there was no obvious infringement that I could see. Sir Alex is not going to like that."

"Definite offside Motty."

"Possibly a handball in the build-up, would you say?"

"It's offside Motty."

"Well that will certainly be a talking point if the score stays like this."

"Oh, hang on John. I think if you look at it again you can clearly see Rooney run to the bench, reappear with an eight-foot samurai sword, ritually disembowel the keeper, drape the bloody entrails round the referee's neck, defecate on the penalty spot, cover himself with camouflage paint, before putting the loose ball in the net. That's got to be ungentlemany conduct by the way.

"Yes Mark, he may well have been offside."

5Live occasionally have a woman commentating on Championship games on a Friday evening. She's nothing short of wank.

Honestly pet get back in the kitchen.

That's the same woman who is doing MOTD this weekend.
I think she's ok. Certainly better than Connor McNamara on 5 Live - what a ****.

That's Jacqui Oatley. She's quite good actually. You're very sexist in your attitude. Drag yourself into this century.

With a set of bins like that you'd think he'd be able to see what was going on.

Unfortunately it appears they are for purely comedic effect.

I think he was making reference to a fast show joke there, and not being serious

Apologies. I'm a good advert for not drinking in the afternoon today...
