Thanks: Gave 177, Got 680 | Most annoying football commentator/summarizer?
After watching the F.A. cup football over the weekend i was wondering who people think the most annoying football commentators/summarizers are?
based on the stupid things they say, when they are wrong, they know they are wrong but wont say so, say someone is offside when they are obviously not, etc...

Had to go with other on this one, I actually enjoy listening to all of those guys with the exception of Le Saux. Where is Lawrenson, Alan Smith these guys are truely awful.
I have to say I think the Tyler/Gray team is a great one  and Kamara is just plain funny

I actually think, even though he isn't technically a commentator, or summeriser, Rob McCaffrey stands out as a good 'un. He's great on "Your On Sky Sports", and moved into some of the Soccer Extra sessions midweek instead of Jeff Stelling. Talks sense and a good attitude to the game.

Motty always says overtime, it's not bl**dy American Football. Injury time for gods sake!

Kamara makes my laugh - and he has such enthusiasm 
Martin Tyler walks all over Ian Darke, IMHO.
Mark Lawrenson is a biased ****, but Alan Smith gets my vote as a complete waste of space.

I've gone for John Motson as I find him the most annoying of those mentioned. But the person who get on my nerves just as much is Garth Crooks, he's the most useless excuse for a presenter there has ever been. His questions he asks during "interviews" are unbelievably bad and he seems to have no idea at all

Graham Le Saux is just offensive to listen to and look at...useless.

Most annoying 'pundit' for me is Ian Wright. He is just so inarticulate.
My vote for best commentator sidekick would be Trevor Brooking - always impartial and quite incisive.

For me, it has to be Mark Lawrenson - Total Gonad if ever there was one, although i do find Graham Le Saux equally annoying! Decadence is right - even to look at, you feel you want to land one on his nose .... gosh where has all this aggresion come from??

Hello All
Graham Le Saux must have contacts in higher BBC places because he is either on the radio or the tv talking rubbish, but the man who got my vote was Andy Gray....I will turn the radio commentary on rather than listen to him (as long as Le Saux aint waffling on about 'he reads the game well ' ) or even opt for Fanzone.

Are there actually any decent pundits/commentators apart from Hansen & Gray?
