Rate the TV commentators and pundits

[Bostonian]

Too many of these tossers just talk crap about the big clubs all the time to the point where some of the w***ers like Andy Townsend seem like they are literally cheerleading for one side when playing against them.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Peter Drury had joined NBC and will not be heard on the Premier League's world feed next season.

So the Drury/Berlin combination will be cease. Bring back Jon Champion or promote Joe Speight.

Peter Drury grates on me.

 

[hawkman]

If that means Jim Proudfoot does the big games that is great news. Think he is the best one that we hear

 

[Cruyff14]

Peter Drury grates on me.

Likes the sound of his own voice too much.

 

[Thistle]

I've changed my tune on Drury a little and actually appreciate him for proper big games. It's the not important games and moments where he generally goes over the top with that I really dislike him.

The PL version of Dwayne Russell.

 

[Frank Bunn]

I nominate Gary Birtles as the worst co-commentator.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Andy Townsend is very good.

 

[Cruyff14]

Andy Townsend is very good.

One of the best. His analysis is excellent.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Martin Tyler should never commentate a game on his own ever again. He can turn the best game ever into paint drying in a library.

I get no joy in saying this but Martin Tyler is sounding every bit his age.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah he is awful now.

 

[010203]

Regarding Martin Tyler, SBS should consider turning the crowd mics down a touch, turn Tyler up a bit and give him a lip mic which means Tyler won't be drowned out by the crowd.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

There is not a lot of good commentators in the UK atm. The jobs go to ex footballers now. You should be thankful for Tyler. It could be worse and be Jenas or McManamamamamamamamamamamamamaman

Proudfoot and Townsend are fantastic IMO.

Proudfoot and Townsend are fantastic IMO.

I don't know who they are. Steve Bower is ok. Personally I used to love listening to Jonathan Pearce. He was unbelievable on Robot Wars too haha

Yes, Proudfoot is the one I was trying to think of today, he's great.

He has taken over from Drury getting all of the big games. Not a bad thing IMO.

Yeah rate him very highly, has a good sense of the occasion without going over the top like Drury.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I get no joy in saying this but Martin Tyler is sounding every bit his age.

he was cooked years ago, last world cup I ended up watching the final et al on Optus instead of SBS purely for Drury over Tyler.

Two polar opposites. Drury goes way too over the top with hyperbole and the love of his own voice whereas Tyler has no feel for the occasion anymore.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Nah still like Tyler. Don’t mind his understated nature, no need to holler..let the crowd make the noise. Seems to call the players accurately and his comments still interesting enough.

Don't think it's understated, I think he's catatonic.
