[Football] Mark Lawreson

[Conelli98]

Great player...but one big bell of a co-commentator...agree or disagree?

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Never really taken to Lawro mainly because of his propensity to

a) incorporate some very weak jokes and

b) adopt a 'seen it all' take on most things football (mind you perhaps he has)


He also looks as if he is melting, but maybe that's something he can't help. Great player though.

Proof that great players don’t always make even average pundits

 

[Gabbafella]

The Eeyore of pundits. Has a voice to slit your wrists to.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Generally l might agree, but today l thought he was spot on, Ausralia were hard done by, and very unlucky to lose.

 

[seagull_special]

At no point does he ever give you the impression he loves football. It’s a bit like sitting next to a really moany git at a match. Wonderful footballer but seriously mediocre on the box.

Not disagreeing with that, but how hard is it to have a commentator that bothers to research VAR.

 

[Hampster Gull]

He seems a decent enough bloke. As for a punter, he seems about as average as the rest of them. But it’s not a difficult game so it is what it is

I did like his comment regarding the French no 21 when he went down like a dying swan …."oh dear oh dear whats he done dislocated his shoelaces " .

This.

Invent the narrative around the result Danny Murphy would’ve summarised: A classy France overcome a stubborn Oz, with fantastic pertormances from Mbappe, Dembele, Pogba and Griezmann.

Which would be bull. Lawro is honest.

“That was more Frank Carson than Scott...” after the England keepers howler a few years a go” Still makes me chuckle, I like Lawro. Great pundit.

No more so than someone who cannot spell.

Yes l loved that too! I know he can appear somewhat dour and forthright at times, but hey that's just his opinion, and like many typical northerners he says it like it is, no one says you have to agree with him, he is just sparking debate.

 

[Icy Gull]

Well I quite like his comments and observations

 

[J2 DOG]

Has great knowledge of the game ,played at the very top level and one of the finest players to wear the blue and white stripes. Thats enough for me!

 

[Geestar]

Seems every game has one commentator that is disliked.

I always thought he was good, but in the last couple of years the quality of commentating / pundatory has got so much better that he now feels dated

 

[W.C.]

The worst thing about him is his willful ignorance. He might have had some good points about VAR but as he was making them he was checking with the commentator how it worked. Do your very ****ing cool job properly.

Was always the way.

They're loved now and spoke about in nostalgic terms, but in the 70's and 80's half the football loving public couldn't stand the work of Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson.

I once sold Lawro cigarettes, and apart from Chippy and Wardy and Bobby Smith is the only Albion player I have ever spoken to. On the whole I like him, especially after people on here cleared up my misconception about his latterday antipathy towards The Albion. He's always funny, sardonic and waspish on the telly and radio. Alright, he may not always have a clue about what's going on, but neither do I. By comparison, Danny Murphy, more cuddly though he may be, tends to state the bleedin obvious in tedious detail too often for more liking.
