Sports Presenters That Annoy You

[NMH]

Oirish prattler Tommy Smith, but perhaps he only does foreign coverage because I can't recall hearing him here.
A player hits the ball from 35 yards and skims the bar; "he'll be disappointed with dat, oi tink he shoulda dun better dan dat"

Fuuuuck OFF you dozy TWAT!

 

[Skaville]

Pleat is dire, but the worst I have heard on the radio is Ian Holloway. What a complete fucktard!

 

[rcf0712]

one for the handful of NSC users in Perth here, Basil Zemplis - what a numpty he is

 

[sod1]

Ron Atkinson and David Pleat are both complete shite

 

[Jesus Gul]

What's he doing on MOTD?

Superhans?

 

[cheshunt seagull]

For me David Pleat wins hands down in the most annoying category.

I used to enjoy the commentary on Eurogoals on Eurosport. I think it was Archie McPherson who a very unreliable set of notes on which to base his hastily
recorded voice over. 'But in the 70th minute, Metz's pressure paid off with a .....corner'.

Blimey there are a load of picky people on here. I try to let nobody annoy me.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Alan Smith can't speak properly

 

[Statto]

Im suprised no-one has mentoned Steve Claridge. That voice really irritates me. It sounds like he is on heluim!

 

[bhafc99]

That Welsh bloke who commentates on rugby, Jonathan Davies or something. Can't bear his high-pitched sing-song thousand-words-a-second Welsh screeching. Nothing make me lunge for the mute button faster.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I like Townsend.

 

[Tooting Gull]

I see yesterday there was Clare Balding presenting the European Dressage Championships. My idea of sport hell. Funnily enough, didn't catch it.

 

[The Large One]

Alan Pardew made a prat of himself while indulging in football punditry.

 

[franks brother]

Des Lynam






















Love him:yahoo:

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Shane Warne - can't stand the accent. Or the fake hair.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Is it David Pleat and/or Graham Taylor who constantly feels the need to mis-pronounce players names?

 

[Captain Haddock]

No mention of andy steggle yet...

Have been out the 'local region' for years now but please, PLEASE tell me this sub-incompetent buffoon isn't still 'presenting' any kind of sports news / programmes?!....please! :US:

 

[Captain Haddock]

I know what you're saying, but I have a grudging respect for her, firstly because it's quite obvious that, unlike a lot of other female presenters on TV, she's not got the job because of her looks.

And secondly she does know her stuff- despite her posh, Southern, horsey background, the BBC stuck her into the very working class northern empire of rugby league, and at least she appears to have made the effort to learn about it and appreciate it.

In a television world where male presenters can be as old and fat as they like while females get fired- not to mention ripped apart in the press- for putting on a few pounds or passing the age of 30, it's somehow gratifying to know that knowledge of your subject and ability still count for something.

Is it David Pleat and/or Graham Taylor who constantly feels the need to mis-pronounce players names?

Pleat....and TalkSport's Mike 'Porky' Parry is world class at that!
