John Motson has announced he will retire at the end of the season http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41159991 Never thought he was as good as Barry Davies but better than some of the newer ones - another sport that wont quite be the same
I loved his commentary on the Chelsea cup game. "Odejayi wouldn't mind a diagonal cross. That is a diagonal cross." "And Oakwell goes wild".
Don't need commentators..just watch the match. Don't have a commentary when I'm at Oakwell, so why when its on tv?
Set off a best sports commentary discussion at work and a Rugby fan has just shown me this..... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I usually record it, that way you can skip all that stuff and instead of the program taking 1.5 hours you can watch it in about 40 mins
Depends if i've recorded it. Also depends which pundit is on. Can't really do with listening to danny murphy.
Always annoyed me when he tried to make out that something that was obvious and visible to all watching, as though he'd been the only one to spot it.
I used to own A VHS tape that was a recap of the 2002 World Cup, he did quite a few games. Loved his commentary. So glad he did Barnsley-Chelsea.
