[Gunga Din]

is he best co commentator on the telly. i know that there isnt a lot of competition, but when compared to the rest of them he at least analyses the game and talks about the match. on the beeb commentry i've found myself switching to the radio commentry

[Guest Raisbeck]

his made up names do my head in.

 

he continually referred to czech republic and the republic of czechoslovakia the other night.

Yep he's boss. The beeb all seems to be "Good pass that wasnt it Mark?" "Yes it was John" but he actually offers an insight into the game and often has you thinking yeah I can see what he's talking about there. His name f*** ups are quite funny aswell.

it makes me laugh when he does that. but at least he talks about the game and doesnt make an a*** out of himself trying to be a comic like that twunt Lawrenson

[Jim D]

Pleat is probably one of the few decent commentators left in the game, he actually TALKS about the game, offers you insights tactically and the movement of players on and off the ball. The rest of them well they much prefer to spit out the same old tired cliches, say nonsensical comments, try to be amusing by making a joke instead of talking about what is going on in front of them or what they had for dinner last night.

[Snookie]

He's definitely one of the last who doesn't sound like he's trying to sell a subscription to the channel.

[R A Softlad]

Would that be the Playboy channel?

[MFletcher]

I really like Pleat as a co-commentator.

 

I prefer ITV's pundit line-ups as well. They have current pros like Hamann and Zenden on, and they make good points in an articulate manner. On the BBC, only Strachan and O'Neill seem to consistently scratch below the surface of national stereotypes in their analysis.

they also had Gary Neville, which cancels out any good pundrity. the inbred c***flap

[Dan]

Graham Taylor on 5 live is good as well

It's just not cricket, is it?

[Cam]

I'm a huge fan of Taylor's when he's on the radio.

 

Molby's good and Waddle is (surprisingly) getting decent. But I also like Collymore so what do I know?

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Not sure who he was, but quite liked the guy commentating on the BBC alongside "Lawro" during the Austria v Poland match. Hopefully he'll put Motson out to pasture before long.

[psl]

Guy Havord I think, he was good I agree.

[John am Rhein]

We have Gunther Netzer here - he gets a slagging off many, put with my limited German he seems pretty good.

Motson needs shooting - finally caught up with the Spain highlights this morning, and all he seemed to go on about was how England would have performed. Not only did this annoy me, but it proved Libero's rant to be justified, which made me even angrier

[Benitez]

David Pleat is easily the best co commentator. As mentioned, not much competition, but that ain't his fault!

 

He knows his stuff, talks about the game. Doesn't come across as being ignorant as most of the others do.

 

And some of them (Jim Beglin especially), I wonder why he bothers. He whinges constantly, about anything and everything, if he doesn't like the game, then what the fec is he doing commentating!

Another ex City commentator who made it into the mainstream.

[floyd]

Best thing about BBC digital is being able to watch the match but have Radio 5 commentry, instead of that fvckin buffoon Motson. Cvnt should of been retired years ago.

[Guest Ant]

I love the way he says

 

EVENING EVERYONE when it's a night time kick off.

[Chili Palmer]

funniest part of the commentating so far was when Havard(?) was talking to Pleat about Baros getting done for speeding in Lyon saying how he was clocked at 160mph, he then asked Pleat what speed he was going? Pleat said nothing...

[Paul_LFC]

Guy Mowbray is the BBC commentator. Guy Havord is a reporter for Sky.

Lawrenson, Marwood, Beglin and Claridge are the worst and Marwood is probably the most annoying

 

Pleat is good but his obsession with attacking fullbacks and mispronunciation of names holds him back.

 

And i can't listen to Taylor without thinking of that England documentary.

 

" Just tell your colleague he's cost me my job "

Thank you for those kind words

 

At last I am getting through to you lot, well you anyways.... well its a start.
