The 'where are they now?' files

Lawro is in the Sundays 'playing the race card' and moaning about the BBC getting rid of him because society is woke.

Anyway, he was a very entertaining pundit and an amazing player. His dower and facetious attitude to punditry was the perfect antidote to the dead eyed corporate blandness of most of his peers.

I have some sympathy.

Not being able to say "(defensive) wall" after Diana died is so bonkers, if I hadn't seen it in the paper I might have concluded it was a Shaggy edit

Imo, it was for a while, then became incredibly tedious and tiresome. His co-commentaries and punditry, for years, gave the distinct impression he'd rather be anywhere else. So **** off then mate, no-one's forcing you.

Although in his last year or two of work, I'd kind of come full circle and started to enjoy his sighing world-weariness again.

His comments are a joke though, predictably laying into wokeness. Bore off grandad.

[Buzzo]

I thought he was an absolute nightmare for years. His bitchy, eye rolling sarcasm always totally at odds and distracting in the context of the game he was describing.

And, where do these guys get off with this 'job for life' mentality? Not prepared to change at all whilst sticking to the same tired schtick no matter what, and then massively get the hump when an organisation decides to move them on as society progresses.

Welcome to the real world lads the rest of us have been having to identify, acknowledge, change and adapt to survive for years.

To be honest I think that this happens to all pundits after a few years. Personally I think that pundits mostly only have shelf life of a few (less than about 3) years where they offer any new insight, before they become tedious/boring.

Struggling to think of one i enjoy at the moment, Townsend, Ekoku, warnock, goodman are bloody awful on oversea streams; the Sky, BT, UK terestrisal are dreadful. If i had to pick one Hinchliffe is bearable

I think McCoist is decent but that's about it. The pundits we have in the UK are surely the very worst of what's out there.

Having the likes of McManaman, Jenas and Owen Hargreaves commentating usually leaves me turning the sound off.

Aye, turn on the radio for decent commentary on the match while watching on TV with the TV on mute...

I have tried this but the TV lags behind the radio, which makes it an awful experience. No commentary is better.

Our lad does it to watch his games (he's a City fan ). He just pauses the radio playback/TV until it's all in sync.

I would go along with this if the new ones replacing them were actually any good, but I mean....some of them that are on now barely have two brain cells to rub together. It's painful listening to them. The first one that springs to mind is Clinton Morrison. How the **** is this guy on tv?

How the **** did you let that happen
