[Football] Is it time to pension off Martin Tyler?

[Soton Seagull]

I think it is fair to say he is a tad patronising towards little old Brighton.

 

[Greavsey]

Gotta like the bit on White moving onto bigger and better things than little old Brighton.

...followed up with how Leeds would have been a huge move for him.

that was the quote I was thinking of. Cock Womble.

Don't get me started on "And It's Live!" his desperate attempt to come up with a catch phrase.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Anyone got a spare box of Kleenex tissues (other brands available) for MT, as I think he's run out w@nking over Chelsea.









Apologies for crudeness

 

[Weststander]

You lot, that’s why I have the sound down when BT or Sky have Albion games against mega spenders.

Pre, during and post match you get a wnkfest about Solskjaer, Fat Frank, Arteta, as if they’re geniuses.

Why put yourselves through the torment?

 

[Steve in Japan]

Regrettably, yes. He's had a very good run, but time for a change.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Yes he’s shit. Should take Smith with him too.

 

[Doonhamer7]

I’m so glad someone has raised this, I thought it was just me. Really tired, cliched commentary with no real depth of current knowledge

 

[Hugo Rune]

Shame he didn’t go in the latest Sky purge.

And the understatement of the week award goes to . . . .

 

[Change at Barnham]

"What a great signing by Leeds Ben White was last year."

- no mention that it was Brighton who decided to loan White to them.

Clueless tw@t!

 

[Icy Gull]

Is he the **** who said Ben White would go on to better things than Brighton and kept banging on about what he did at Leeds? Shoot the fecker

 

[A1X]

To be fair to Tyler, he was the only one of any of them on the Sky team tonight who actually had any sort of a concept that we were even playing and what we we'd been doing.

 

[timbha]

He felt it appropriate to tell us it was his birthday today to which Smith implied that we should be grateful that he was doing the commentary. Bloody hell, he’s a professional and we all have to work on our birthdays. Then he changed the mood by mentioning it “used to be Ray Wilkins’ (RIP) birthday”. I thought it still is.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The quote I liked was on 48 minutes when it was 1-0 to Chelsea: "This match is by no means done and dusted".

What game in the Prem IS done and dusted at 1-0 with 42 minutes still to go?!?

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

Awful commentator. His lack of any kind of reaction when major things happen a game is almost unbelievable at times, I couldn't even tell Van Dijk's header against Leeds had gone in until about 5 seconds after the fact with his lack of any kind of enthusiasm paired with a lack of fans to celebrate the goal - I just assumed it had gone wide. Monotone dinousaur, I have no idea how he's still in the job.

 

[kevo]

Didn't realise he was 74! Even 'Motty' retired before then, and he was well past his sell-by date.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Come on. The reference to March Haring through was a classic. Mainly because Alan Smith had no clue about the reference to a March Hare.

 

[Swansman]

I dont mind him. Had plenty of nice things to say about Brighton and wasnt obsessed about the fancy schmancy Chelsea side

 

[Sheebo]

swear I heard him say earlier that Ben White will move on to a bigger club, Leeds continue to be interested...

He said something like I’m sure he’ll move on soon and maybe even a bigger move than Leeds (or words to that effect). Feeding the Leeds’ arrogance and egos and very disrespectful to us, who he’s just signed a 4 year deal with. Not good!

 

[Pierre the Painter]

Clueless cliche ridden idiot.

No way to speak of a commentating legend, on his birthday of all days too. Have some respect.
