Most irritating commentators

I like Drury, gives a shit about the game0
-
I like Alex Scott, but she goes goal updates of FIFA 22 that make my teeth rattle0
-
Sam Matterface, he's just dreadful.8
-
Ian Danter is getting annoying and pretentious nowadays bused to quite like him. Likewise Jonathan Pearce who decided unilaterally yesterday to pronounce “Posticoglu” different from everyone else including the man himself.To be honest, they are mostly pretty irritating but then again I’m easily irritated.0

Any woman on a traditionally mainstream male sport, football, cricket and rugby.
No apologies, I am a dinosaur, child of the 60's, RIP of the XX's...
Doe's not sound legit to me.

Apart from the cricket, Soapy, I'm with you.
The screeching is what gets me - it can be nothing short of painful. Females naturally have voices in the higher registers, so when it gets exciting we are sometimes treated to glass-shattering levels of squealing. Luckily, in cricket there is a certain level of decorum, which is generally maintained by all commentators, regardless of sex, so this does not happen. Also, the female commentators on TMS know their stuff and it shows, whereas when I get some token bint womansplaining the basics of football based on her vast experience of under 12-equivalent level football I just feel sorry for the other pundits who have to sit there and pretend to respect their professional input.
On the above note, Karen Carney has been roped in to Sky this season and she reminds me of the kind of footballer moron turned uninsightful pundit who used to be more common decades ago, even though we all thought that we had moved on from that. Carney makes Clinton 'token' Morrison look like a Nobel Prize winner and that is saying something, but quotas gotta be filled, I suppose. There are plenty of intelligent and knowledgeable women out there, why the hell does she keep getting the gig? It truly is mystifying.

Surely commentators are supposed to supply actual helpful information.
I can't think what the purpose of a pundit is. I might be the only person who thinks they add nothing to the experience.

Watching MNF and Karen Carney is superb1

Who was commentator for our play off matches a few years back?1

Commentators are there to describe what's happening. Pundits are there to add variety, interest, insight and expert knowledge. That insight and expert knowledge might be a keen awareness of the rules of the game, of strategy and tactics or of the business of football. It might be that they know particular players well and can add insights as to their part in the match or it might be that they have some interesting anecdotes about the characters involved in the game. Alternatively, it might just be be that they can chat shit to fill dead air. In my experience, that last one is where our pundits really excel.seth plum said:Surely commentators are supposed to supply actual helpful information.

Has no-one mentioned Guy Mowbray, a man for whom 'Less is More' is anathema.
He loves the sound of his own voice so much that he wants to take it out for a candlelit dinner and then fuck it again and again and again until it births a legion of Mowbray commentary voices that will chant his inane, kill me now, shit stats long after football has committed suicide.
Guy fucking Mow bray like a syphilitic, dusty donkey: 'When More is Never Enough'

I think Simon Brotherton is the best in the business.
Well informed without being smug. Intelligent without being alienating.

United game last night, commentator says 'I would say coming up to halftime but with the new rules we don't know until the board goes up'.
Err we've had the extra time board for quite a few years now.1 -
Lee Dixon.
I have suffered enough. Not funny. Self deprecation used for narcissism, poor insight, doesn't read the game, basic vocabulary, adds nothing, voice grates. An absolute shyster.
There; got that off my chest.3 - Sponsored links:

Rachel Brown-Finnis, just talks for the sake of talking and adds nothing to any commentary3

Just hate it in general now when a Commentator screams the moment a shot gets attempted, just because they want to be first to announce a goal... Then their voice goes back to normal when nothing comes of it!!
"KIRRRRKKKKKKK... Throw in!!"8 -

OhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHooooooo

Literally like he spends the entire game stroking his man piece then Peter Drury goes into Tennyson/Shakespeare mode and grabs him a bit too tightly...4 -
Carragher is a wanker. I detest the man. I hate everything about him. Not only his voice, but the way he uses it. I will never, ever leave the sound on when he's talking, I will watch the game in silence.Northupper said:

When I was at Sky I was in a meeting where we were all reminded that we had to behave when commuting. They told us that if we did anything wrong on the train to or from Sky, we would be treated as though we had done that thing at work. I think someone had got into an altercation or something at Brentford station. Either way, it was made clear to us that such instances would result in getting sacked. Six months later Carragher spat on a girl when driving home from work.
Before that we were doing a Christmas thing and we got some of the Sports presenters to talk about their favourite movies on camera. We even got Souness to sing. But Carragher bitched and moaned about giving us 30 minutes of his time all the way through. Even Souness told him to stop moaning.
When he pauses and looks into the middle distance like he's trying to think of something profound about someone over pressing I am reminded of just how pretentious modern punditry can be.
Those are all of the reasons I hate Carragher. I probably could have stopped at "Carragher is a wanker" but I feel better for sharing. I've been bottling this up for too long.

Think he must get paid by the word. Lee Hendrie is another one, why use 5 words when he can use 50.Northupper said:
