I like Peter Drury, he clearly loves the sport, and knows he's lucky to be working as part of it
Whaaaaaaaaat? If he loves it, tell him just talk about it in plain language then & not like he’s swallowed a thesaurus. Its so painful to listen to 😩😩😩😩😩😩
I know, I just think he's a bit overexcited, I still prefer to listen to games on 5Live with the like of Jon Murray, Ian Dennis and Conor McNamara
Ron Atkinson was the best co commentator - no contest
Every contest actually. Maybe Ian Wright has an opinion as to the measure of that particular person, or Marcel Desailly.
That was an unfortunate incident there was no way back from but i'm satisfied that Big Ron is not racist and we have been robbed of a very entertaining commentator ever since

I remember the comments of Clinton Morrison reporting of the booing at the Millwall v Derby game when the players took the knee.
They are doing it for the clips on social media not the live viewer of the game. They want to go viral. And they have probably been told to do it like this rather than actually wanting to.
Never mind "viral", some of these idiots need infecting with a virus to put us out of misery.

I’d love to believe that, but sometimes it’s so rehearsed and cringeworthy it’s hard to think Drury does it under protest; In a Liverpool game earlier this season, the Mickeys scored late and then while the game was still going on and one of the teams was in the midst of an attacking move Drury said wistfully: “Well, they walked through the storm, but they held their heads up high and got the equaliser…” or something like that.
I actually shouted ”Oh fuck off, you twat” so loudly at the TV my missus came in to see what the problem was. 😂
Another commentator I really appreciate is Ian Darke, excellent for the boxing and has just the right vocal balance to handle an old firm derby with the same aplomb and craft as he would Gillingham v Northampton
Watching the Brizzle City v West Spam replay. Jonathan Pearce, no fecker wants to hear about players so old that they once nudged about a pigs bladder in the mud. Just talk about the very good game of football that is happening in front of you ffs!

Was it Drury the other week when Salah scored and he said 'he walked it in like an Egyptian'?
As we hack about who is shit, let us bow our heads and salute to Peter Brackley and some real luminaries of the game doing the Italian games on a Sunday when the world was a purer place and the single best sports presenter/anchor in James Richardson and it isn't even close
"Berlesconi missed Milans game due to heart surgery - he's having one installed"
Peter Drury. The master of the hyperbole. I’m not a fan!
He’s the latest in a long line of hyperbole merchants I’m afraid. Davies started it and it’s been carried on by the likes of the lamentable Tyldesly and Mattersmug. Ian Danter is getting into the habit too sadly as I used to like him. All we need is someone with a decent voice to describe what’s going on and provide the info we need. None of this listen to how smart and smug I can be nonsense. Sadly, Robyn Cowan who I think is probably the best commentator out there in terms of knowledge and content has a completely unlistenable voice, especially when she gets excited. It’s quite a hard thing to get right I imagine. Easy to be critical but I bet most of us would be rubbish at it too. I just turn the sound down now or use the stadium noise option where it’s available (Amazon).
Spot on. I had a go whilst on a tour of BBC Wales. 2 minutes of trying to commentate on a Ireland v Wales 6 Nations game I’d already seen. Had an absolute nightmare. Great fun & I’d have another go in a heartbeat. But it’s not my forte.
It's so much harder than it seems! I commentate on my own videos, except it's not commentating, cos I write a script then record each line so really it's narrating. Someone got me to do some actual commentating on a charity match and I started doing all the things that annoy me. It's really hard not to do the cliched stuff!

My thoughts exactly. Thought Tom Kerridge was good though!
Dion Dublin talks incessantly. Also, how does Clinton Morrison get so mich work, I find him almost incoherent.
Clinton Morrison is appalling, no idea why his Sky contract keeps getting renewed. Even my wife who has little interest in sport says WTF when he is on.

Is this satire? Atkinson was a crap commentator and is most definitely racist. He even has a "Racist comments" section on his Wikipedia page. A dinosaur from a bygone age. Good riddance.

He is first class, had the pleasure of driving him a couple of times and he’s a real gent. Pompey fan, very knowledgeable

Just the measure that quite rightly saw him sacked & disgraced. I feel pretty secure with the measure that regards referring to a fellow human being as a "f***ing lazy thick n*****." as racist. Another publicised Atkinson quote from that same Wiki section: "The Chinese people have the best contraception in the world - their women are so ugly. I can't understand why there are so many of them."
Not racist by your measure then? Is that you Jim Davidson?

It is a real skill saying something interesting and if you are paid to comment, you can't shut up until you have something interesting to say. I do like opiniated co-commentators as even disagreeing with something said engages you. I like listening to Ian Wright with his passion, and Gary Neville who isn't scared of saying something controversial. The other trick when you have said something is not to keep going on about it as it can quickly become boring.

U need to lighten up - big Ron was a laugh a minute character, not a member of the klu klux klan, however unfortunate some of his language might have been

******* Amazing how Morrison is still employed.
Clinton Morrison is embarrassingly inarticulate - a bit like Paul Elliot - I like wrighty and Micah Richard’s though they are there on merit
