I hate most commentators. They're bad at their job. People like Motson are only there for nostalgia purposes, even though it's clear he's a senile old codger. People like Pleat are only there becayse they were once involved with a mediocre football team and managed to royally cock it up when you look at the team now. So I ask you, who are your most loved and loathed commentators? Hate: John Motson Mark Lawrenson Clive Tyldsley David Pleat Andy Gray Jonathon Pearce That Scouser who does Watford Vs. Middlesborough and other crap games on MoTD. Tolerate: Martin Tyler Love: Peter Brackley (when commentating on Italian football ONLY) Remember, this is COMMENTATORS not PUNDITS.
Martin Tyler is my favourite commentator, then Simon Hill. Andy Gray is pretty good and there's a couple of the ones who call the Premiership matches that are alright but I'm not sure of their names.
Jonathan Pearce and Barry Davies. He's retired now though. heres a vid <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EMmQk2lK_Ks&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EMmQk2lK_Ks&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>
Mark Lawrenson and David Pleat. They throw in unecessary, arrogant comments, especially Lawro, he thinks he's funny but he's not.
