what a load of rose tinted garbage. Another disjointed and boring display, yet the commentators have seen otherwise.
 
I loved when he said it was a 'whizzbang' of a shot.

Thats great commentry right there!!
 
BBC haven't been the same since Barry Davies retired and everyone got on the Motty bandwagon
 
A 'Whizz Bang' is WW1 slang that the Allies used for a german rocket or mortar shell. It's a bit archaic but the analogy fits.
 
His commentary in 77 when the whistle blew: 'And Liverpool are champions of Europe! How does it make you feel? It makes you feel proud!'

How did he go in latter years thought Macca? He was either personally pissed off at how we'd gone, or he had a serious gripe with us, because he seemed to rip into us at any given opportunity.

Yep. Rather boring and predictable. Not surprising.
And I think their defence was a worry at times - The Ukrainians threatened too much and too easily, and it's only the very average Ukraine.
 
Actually, Lawro yesterday was the one pundit who refused to buy into that silly hype about the 'intimidating' atmosphere. The commentator was whining about the 'wall of sound' and Lawro said it sounded like St Trinians were out on a school treat. He was dead right. Anyone listening to Tiddley and Co would have thought it was taking place in Turkey! (And what is it with ITV and those multi-cushioned chairs? Poor old Carra looked as though he was recovering from piles!)
 
Remember when Tyldesley was the Radio City commentator (local radio in Liverpool)? He spoke normal when there was no football on, but then he put this Motty accent on for the commentary - and it's never ended. I was amazed that they're both from the North West, it's as if they've developed a new accent all of their own just for talking shite about football. It sounds like a farmer with a lisp on whizz.
 
Barry Davies was a vindictive, moaning, Liverpool hating cunt.

Not true. He fell out of love with football generally about the same time I did. And stopped commentating. The last few years he did commentate ha became a moaner about most teams, mainly because the those teams he was used to seeing dominate and play exceptional football i.e. us, had become shite.

'And that's nice. And here's McDermott. And that's a goal!'
'What a delighted scorer. It's Tommy Smith'
'And with such simplicity the European Cup is won'
 
They are all as bad as each other. Tiddly has the very worst kind of verbal diarrhea. He just never stops

"The Hungary right back has a degree in fine art from the University of central Transylvania and his sister, who is 3 months, 4 days and 13 hours younger than him, and has a wooden hip and a lisp, is a pastry chef in the Achtung Minen Hotel in Vienna, where she performs fellatio on sailors under the third arch of the Glubbenburg bridge every Thursday night in exchange for cheese crackers and naval lint."

He's an utter cunt.
 
Andy Townsend is all of a sudden English again.

Do one you fucking turncoat.

He also keeps banging on about Parker like he's the greatest midfielder on earth & when he was prompted to comment on Gerrard he just made an acknowledging noise.

Yes, like Martin Tyler these days, he gets tired of actually commentating on games from about the hour mark. He sounds really irritated when he has to break off from whatever irrelevant waffle he's saying to acknowledge that something is happening in the match.
 
I've noticed that; I spent most of the '80's looking out for him on BBC World Service for the scores and other news
NOw he's just rubbish.

The guy is a moron.

I am so glad when games I want to watch are on the BBC as I can either turn off commentary or change it to FiveLive.

The people who think it's a good idea to hire the likes of Andy Townsend, Mark Bright and Mick McCarthy to commentate need assassinating, quickly.
 
A lot of the other stuff on ITV is crap anyway (no offence Red Astaire) it shouldn't really come as a surprise.
