Dave Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Football commentary has missed the silky toff tones of Barry Davies for some time though. QFT. Always a brilliant commentator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Gerald Stinstadt (sp?) is worse. All he seems to be able to do is go "ooooooh"/"wooooah" whenever something dramatic happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've always disliked Jon Champion's voice for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Spouting random facts and stats doesn't make you a good commentator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I like Pearce. Probably my favourite out of those on terrestrial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Just calling time on his international career by the sounds of it. Full retirement would be better than any signing. Agreed (apart from the bit about being better than a signing). I got excited when I read about this in a paper a month or two ago. I then read on and realised he wasn't retiring, it's just there are no more major competitions before he does. I don't like any of the commentators and I wish you could have the option to watch a match with them turned off. What do they do? Say each players name as they receive the ball, fair enough. Waffle on with boring stories and kiss the arse of whichever team/player they love, not good. If someone sat next to you at the match and waffled on like commentators do you'd want to kill them.

Yorkie Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Fantastic. Jon Champion is the best around nowadays imo. It would be Pearce but he's got a thoroughly annoying voice. Motson though; just a jovial prick with favourites and generally just God awful to listen to nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I can't stand Pearce, his voice grates on me. I'd agree that Jon Champion is good to listen to though. BELLAMY!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stankydanky Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Sorry but moved from the UK to America awhile back and pretty much any commentator in Britain is miles ahead of ANYONE on the telly over here. If you get the unfortunate chance of ever hearing Tommy Smyth or Derrick Rae cover a game I suggest switching it over to the spanish broadcast as they actually add more. ESPN cover the champions league and the EUROS over here. Andy Gray from Sky has actually been doing some work for them and has made all the others look inferior (which is saying something) Motson can get a little irritating at times, but noone can argue that there are far worse out there.

relámpago blanco Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can't stand Pearce, his voice grates on me. I'd agree that Jon Champion is good to listen to though. BELLAMY!!!! Everytime I hear pearce I expect some kind of robotic killing machine to come onto the pitch and start going after the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
