Dion Dublin - worst ever football pundit?

[Jimmy Grimble]

Seen Dublin twice on MoTD2 recently and each time he's waffled incoherent bollocks - he actually managed to make Lawrenson seem articulate. How he's got that gig is anyone's guess. Offered zero insight and very little analysis, essentially just described what the highlights were already showing in slow-motion.

Awful pundit; add him to modern-day collection and stick him at the top of the pile.

He's better than Mark Shight.

Gary Neville has set the bar for ex-pros as pundits. His insight into the game is absolutely superb.

I haven't seen this MOTD2... but SURELY he can't be worse than Garth Crooks?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Just about edges it over Crooks, I reckon.

Interestingly, the fifth hit on Google for "Garth Crooks worst pundit?" is a NSC thread

Got it in one. Mark not-so Bright is by far the WORST pundit on the payroll there - I find it a total affront that I am paying his wages through my licence fee. Bland, meaningless cliche'd soundbites are his speciality.

Oh, and how about this on Twitter today...

Just noticed that FC Barcelona have 40pts, so do Palace, Barca play in red n blue, so do Palace, Barca play sexy football, so do Palace.

Bell.
End.

I thought he could sink no further in my estimation.

Mark Bright, Claridge and Crooks are all awful but also annoying which makes them stand out. But unquestionably the worst pundit ever for sheer nothing to sayness that I've ever seen was DJ Campbell. It was actually painful to watch. I think it was his only appearance as a pundit on the BBC. It was on MOTD2 and I actually wanted to hug Colin Murray and say "It's OK mate, we feel your pain".

On a par though not as a pundit was Jari Litmanen interviewed by Andy Townsend in the infamous "tactics truck". The guy spoke hardly any English (Jari, that is, not Andy) and the whole interview was comical. I felt desperately sad for Jari who is actually my favourite footballer of all time. It was, to quote the author Tibor Fischer, "like finding your favourite uncle masturbating in a school playground".

I know it was only a short stint for the Euros, but I'll take your Dion Dublin and raise you, Jamie Carragher.

The MK Dongs vs AFC Wimbledon game yesterday must have been very confusing for him, as he thinks they are one and the same.

Bang on. Absolutely love Neville. Did like Beckham's comment yesterday that it's not a surprise that he's a pundit because he always did like talking. I really think he and Jamie Redknapp set the bar. Clearly passionate, clearly knowledgeable. Exactly what you want.

ray wilkins is awful

Ray Wilkins is always referred to as "Majestic" by me and my friends. Because that's how he described the first half of the England Italy 3rd place play off in the 1990 World Cup at half time.

oh right i refer to him as a deluded chelsea dickhead.

He did score against us in the 1983 cup final so I tend to remember that rather than his Chelsea days. But that aside, you clearly missed the irony. Just out of interest why "deluded?". Agree he's a shit pundit, but just wondering what made you say "deluded?"

 

[Pavilionaire]

Crooks. Totally winging it. And somebody should tell Bright that his one-eyed support of Palace crosses the line where he loses all objectivity, rendering him an unprofessional buffoon.

For a lesson in how to be objective when discussing the failing of your favourite club see Alan Hansen, Lee Dixon or Paul Merson.
