Yep. Everything in the universe is somehow connected with Bristol City when he commentates. Great goal by Chelsea's Timo Werner! Tammy Abraham, who was once on loan at Ashton Gate, will be delighted with that.
Jonathan Pearce by a country mile. Absolutely dreadful commentator, and a big advocate of giving penalties for fouls where one player has tripped over the other ones shadow. Brilliant on Robot Wars though in the 90s
Martin Tyler drives me up the wall , if you close your eyes & listen to his commentry you havn"t a clue where the ball is or what is happening, he prattles on to his co pundit & talks to him about everything apart from what is exactly happening , if you disagree ,next time he is on just close your eyes tight for 2 minutes & you will know what I mean . I used to love Kenneth Wolstenholme , he would describe every pass , who played it , where it went , every shot etc & constantly tell you what was happening
Agree, I mentioned this in a thread re John Stones a short while back. He constantly spouts facts and little stories during key passages of play. In one game he talked over 2 pieces of play where Stones had played 2 great long cross pitch passes straight to his team mates. All Tyler spoke about was Stone’s past mistakes and possible future ones.
Not football but Andy Clark for Sky Sports boxing, or just anyone who commentates like they're at a library or funeral.
Spot on my friend, you have summed up exactly what I was trying to say , its total waffle & he also makes his mind up before a ball is kicked on who he is going to shower praise on all afternoon , he really grinds the old gears .
There was a guy who did championship matches on the reviews a few years ago (he still might). I don't know if he just did ours, or lots of games but he made the most exciting matches sound dull. I think he did Muller vs Preston and made it sound like a routine save.
Jonathon Pearce when he first started. Sounded like he was doing an advert for The Sun. I think he's toned it down since though it's years since I heard him. Long service award for non stop irritation though goes to John Motson.
Always hated it when he thought he had a funny anecdote and would give a little "heh heh" before he spoke.
