Most irritating commentators

Its got to the point where I can't watch football on TV. The fashion for a commentary team, at least two "experts" per game. When did we ever need that? The commentators seem to want to make every game sound like its pure excitement and a classic when 99% of football supporters know 99.9% of games have little or know excitement especially for the neutral. The women commentators I find the worse, they can speak at that level that makes the sound of a dentists drill soothing.9

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:

An outstanding game of football absolutely ruined by the verbal nonsense coming from Peter Drury.
Just commentary on the game ffs 😩😩😩🙄
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.
Carragher is rightly/wrongly seen as an asset for Sky, so he will of course get preferential treatment that the average worker wouldn't. An office worker would've been fired for the spitting incident.
In the same way that Man Utd continued to keep Greenwood contracted to them, but if that was an office worker at Old Trafford he'd have 100% been fired.3 -
I really enjoy the punditry on ITV's NFL Show with Osi & Jason. They've got so much energy and insight and they seem so well prepared. Our football pundits seem to turn and just chat bollocks like they were sat in a pub.1

Micah Richards - if I were to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, I’d find that funnier than Micah.1

Going to another sport but please can cricket stop using Kevin Pietersen on Comms. The absolute ego on him.0

They are mostly commentating for the clips that go on social media, so everything has to be fantastic in case something is.3

I like the Champions league lineup for CBS. Carragher, Richards, Thierry Henry and presented by Kate Abdo.Croydon said:

I don't get to watch many live games any more, but even when I do, I haven't watched pre or post match punditry for about five years now and I have lost nothing. I will listen to the Guardian Football Weekly for that kind of stuff (even though Barry Glendenning is the laziest broadcaster I have ever heard). Even then, football journalists think they're fucking artists and take themselves way too serious.charltonkeston said:Its got to the point where I can't watch football on TV.

Ignore the pundits and turn the sound of - or sync it with the radio. That's the way forward for me!4 -
I always have the commentary on, knowing I don’t have to agree or disagree with everything said.1

Sky, many many years ago it was an option just to have the crowd and no commentary. If only we could turn the clocks back and return to actual watching the game. And also get shot of that awful VAR nonsense.JiMMy 85 said:

For me it's nothing whatsoever to do with agreeing. It's the banality or complete lack of insight. Just noise. Irritating noise.ValleyGary said:I always have the commentary on, knowing I don’t have to agree or disagree with everything said.11 -
Jonathan Pearce was on Football Focus Saturday.
”Alex I can see you have two of my heroes in the studio and I have another one of mine pitchside”
He was referring to Chris Sutton, Leon Osman and John Salako. Good job I had a light breakfast. Cringing.4 -
I was at school with Simon, he was in the same class with me & Dave Beckett (who commentates on so many ITV-related football shows including the EFL Highlight show). I remember one birthday party I had was with Simon, Dave & another boy - who finished High School by murdering 3 old age pensioners & serving a life term (19 years actually)...Valley11 said:I think Simon Brotherton is the best in the business.
Well informed without being smug. Intelligent without being alienating.0 -
Sam Matterface gets on my nerves. Carragher is an idiot, a true idiot. When he started doing games he was awful and he he hasn't got any less irritating. And he gobs, when he isn't gobbling at children his party piece was to fire snot-rockets onto hotel walls and floors0

Yep compare it to some of the guys in the cricket where they have so much interesting stuff prepared and offer real insight and passion for the ins and outs of the game. I know they often have hours more to fill etc but it's chalk and cheese.Chunes said:I really enjoy the punditry on ITV's NFL Show with Osi & Jason.

I have never had sky television mainly because I wouldn’t pay for something that also had advertisements interrupting programmes (not having them on Netflicks is one of their good features).
However with the advent of smart televisions and catching up, it is now possible to watch the recorded football like match of the day and fast forward through the talk.0 -

Jesus wept.This guy on sky doing Man U v Spurs. (Is it Peter Drury?)
Still persisting with that thing he does where when there’s a half chance at a shot, he simply screams the player’s name. Not only is it REALLY fucking annoying, but it’s also the most transparent attempt to get himself a ‘Martin Tyler “AGUEROOOO” moment’ you’ll ever see. Pathetic.Just fucking stop it, you utter helmet.21 -

That was absolutely ridiculous, for a start Skip was nowhere near scoring, but more importantly the Aguero moment wasn’t really iconic because the commentator screamed his name. It was iconic because someone score a very late winner to clinch the Premier League for his club in dramatic circumstances. If Skip had scored for Spurs in a run of the mill January league match against a mediocre Man United it wouldn’t have been quite the same.sam3110 said:

peter drury is by far the most irritating commentator there has ever been - a complete prat9

He manages to combine Motson at his statto worst with Davies at his most verbose. Everything he says is contrived. And with Neville playing Mr You Didn't Want To Do That alongside him, Sky commentaries are unlistenable.DOUCHER said:peter drury is by far the most irritating commentator there has ever been - a complete prat5
