Worst TV football pundit?

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Always record footie and fast forward through pundit bollards! Do the same when Suzie has her bit on countdown

Suzie is sweet but good idea to save time so you can pause on Rachel

 

[Seaford by the sea]

Alan shearer disagree with everything he says. Every piece of contact in the area is a penalty in his eyes. Basically condones diving

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Can't stand Andy Gray and hope his rebirth is short lived.

Lee Dixon

Strangely enough, Alf Ramsey. He was a pundit at the 1974 World Cup in Germany. I can't remember whether it was for BBC or ITV. What I do remember was the match that he was covering was held up because of a floodlight failure.

The commentator, trying to fill time, asked dear old Sir Alf what would he do (referring of course to the game - tactics etc.).

Alf replies " I am not an electrician."

Priceless. Never saw him on TV again.

Adrian Chiles (does he count?)

 

[Washie]

Owen and Townsend

 

[golddene]

another one for Claridge here.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Surprised about how many votes Owen's getting. I mean, he is boring as hell, and prone to stating the obvious, but I imagined he'd slip under the radar (or that people would be asleep when he's talking).

Lawrenson, never heard anyone use so much airtime to say so little. Vacuous.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Lawrenson, never heard anyone use so much airtime to say so little. Vacuous.

I like the way he says "merment". As in "just a merment".

 

[Bry Nylon]

Not a pundit, a commentator really.

I often dream of being the Controller for 5Live, calling Alan Greene into my office and sacking the **** on the spot. That would be a good day.

 

[Mowgli37]

Had Chiles been included in the poll he would have certainly got my vote, shows remarkably little insight for someone who is apparently a huge football fan (though I suppose the same could be said of many supporters!).

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Garth Crooks.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Carragher for me. His voice winds me up so much I have to mute the tv.

 

[Bry Nylon]

I like the way he says "merment". As in "just a merment".

And "Gareh" instead of Gary.

There's a lot of Larry Grayson about him.

 

[downham seagull]

Mark Bright complete numptee

 

[Meade's Ball]

Meade votes Savage. A flatulent and dithering dunce.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Lawrenson, never heard anyone use so much airtime to say so little. Vacuous.

Mark Lawrenson is the Dimitar Berbatov of commentary. He can be good when he can be bothered, but that's only 10% of the time.

I agree that Ron had to go for his uncharacteristic yet unforgiveable racist outburst, but up until that point he was THE DADDY of punditry with some incredible terminology the like of which we haven't seen since. A brief flavour:

Early Doors, Spotter's Badge, Full Gun, Little Eyebrows, Back Stick, Lollipop, Crowd Scene, Going Down By Instalments, Tell You What Clive

Maybe but the sickening way he climbed up United's rectum during European matches was too much for me.
