Football commentators. You get the scripted lines, story telling nobbers like the Championship bloke on Sky who are the pits.

 

But actually, the ones who just incessantly talk are possibly worse. Fletcher on BT, Tyler on Sky- why do they feel the need to keep on talking for the entire 90 minutes? Padding it out with meaningless statistics, cliched stuff. Tyler seems to show little interest in what is happening and would rather drift off into a world of his own.

 

Then you get the bizarre set-up of TV commentators speaking when they don't need to and radio commentators barely focusing on providing a service for people who can't see the match- Stringer is notorious for this, Matterface on TS just as bad.

 

Five Live are good for providing reliable, straight commentary- John Murray, Conor McNamara, Ian Dennis all excellent. Bill Leslie on Sky is good value but so many either try too hard or not hard enough.

When you ask someone a question and they don’t give you an answer..

 

” Hey Kim, where do you want me to put this?”

 

” Well, I have just unpacked two boxes and filled the shelves.. I’m getting there!”

 

 

?


” Kim, where would you like me to put this?”

 

 

” phew! Never thought it would take me this long!”

Someone should tell Andrew Marr to stop interrupting politicians when they're in the middle of responding to his questioning. This morning, he interviewed the PM and virtually everything Bojo said was interrupted before he'd had a chance to answer properly.

Haven't seen the interview, but was he stopping him answering or was he stopping him waffling to avoid answering? Boris loves doing that. Dan Walker on BBC breakfast had to continually interrupt Gavin Williamson a few weeks back because he trying to avoid the questions by repeating soundbites over and over and waffling about irrelevant things to fill the time.

Pals that only bother when their other pals aren't free...

Slightly linked to this, the whole 'who else is coming?' is so facetious to hear when you are trying to organise a get together.

 

Also, the night before I got married I had a get together and there were a few of my wife's friends and their partners there but none of the rest of my friends had arrived and my mate's other half says ' so where is everyone?' as if the company of one of your mates on their wedding weekend isnt enough, what a shitty comment.

I watched it and it was a combination of both Boris avoiding the question at times and Andrew Marr interrupting him which Marr probably sees as interviewer 101 on showing authority. Undermined things when he interrupts him with good reason.

'Fletch and Macca' on BT. Absolute dog shit commentators. 

I quite like Darren Fletcher actually. When he and Savage did 606 on 5 Live it was very listenable imo. Martin Tyler and his heavy breathing can get in the bin, though, and the weird giggles he sometimes has with Gary Neville.

 

Macca, I don't think he's as bad as many make out but he's not exactly brilliant either.

Nope they're both utter shite. Especially McManaman the ****.

This country is in a right state commentary wise (let's ignore co-comms for now)

 

BT Sport still think Darren Fletcher is a number one, UCL-final worthy commentator

ITV think that Sam Matterface is a number one, Euros/World Cup final worthy commentator

BBC think Guy Mowbray is better than Steve Wilson still

Sky have an ageing Martin Tyler who is getting more opinionated the older he gets

 

We have a plethora of good commentators. I really like Drury (though his ALL OF AFRICA will haunt him forever), there's Tyldsley, Hawthorne, Leslie, Daniel Mann (though he's been missing for a while) Brotherton, Wilson etc. And yet none of them are used as much as they should be. Various reasons for this, obviously (contracted to BBC, Freelancer only) but look at that list, especially ITV and BT. It's a crying shame those are their network's #1 commentator.
