without doubt the worst sports commentator I have ever heard....

>>>watching Johanna Konta vs Kerber in the Olympic tennis quarter final on BBC . I always thought Danny Blanchflower was bad when he used to shout "Chance...Chance!!" every time the ball crossed the halfway line into the opposition half but THIS guy never shuts up.

I have abandoned watching it altogether. he uses phrases like..."soft hands" every five minutes and every break point is a "break point opportunity". Errr... no! a break point is a break point!

A perfect example of how NOT to commentate. He commentated on Kontas match on Tuesday night and was as bad then. The guy commentating earlier today on Murray's match was infinitely better. No idea who this one is.

 

Got to the point where unless it's the cricket I don't listen to the commentary they get paid much for knowing so little, being boring and getting paid too much for a job most of us could do

 

You can not not listen to this guy as he is incessant. I thought it must be quite easy but having heard the complete 'boll*x of it this guy was making perhaps it is a little harder. You feel he must have read a manual on tennis on the plane to Rio and made pages and pages of notes determined to demonstrate to us all how much he knows.

Possibly 'pot calling kettle black' as I can (and do) talk the hind legs off a donkey but this guy has no equal. You listen to the likes of Andrew Castle, John McInroe and Tim Henman during Wimbledon and they inform and entertain but ,most of all, know when the f*ck to shut up during play.

I turned to my wife and said that if I was as bad as him she can shoot me now!. Must dash I can hear her loading the shotgun as I type:frown:

 

She's probably been waiting for the chance!

 

You will no doubt be devastated to receive the news that she missed. Regarding the commentator... apparently he is a professional tennis coach so he actually does know a lot about tennis (and spends all the matches demonstrating the fact). I found this out as he made what has been regarded as a homophobic off the cuff joke during the 1st Konta match which caused a storm and lots of complaints to the BBC that resulted in them having to make an apology. I did hear it at the time and winced a bit commenting to my wife that someone is bound to complain about that . ... and complain they did!!

 

Bugger (best of 3?)

Not heard him sounds ***** though not for the off the cuff remark which we all might be guilty of on occasions but for his commentary.

 

Not actually a commentator but David Moyes ,

" I bought John Stones from Barnsley for 1.5 million and they don't get a penny in sell on as their isn't one."
Absolute clueless or arrogant **** or both.
