I'm torn with Garth, I like him. Like his finger pinch, and Shrek head lean towards camera to emphasise a point. As for what he's saying, apart from small-eye-bulge intensity, it's nearly always ineloquent pithy pointless drivel. He sounds like he should be making intelligent sense, but his sentences have little coherent insight.
Ouch!!!

Is that just a posh way of saying he talks shit?

I think he is great my favourite BBC pundit after Martin Keown as he always has an opinion and is always worth a good laugh with his arguments on Final Score.0

I'm sure he punched that one in against Norwich at Selhurst (Sainsbury's end). Went off him a bit after that but he was an excellent player for us.0

He played on that amazing Friday night at St Andrew's
He can do what he wants now - he will always be one of the heros that saved our club because if we'd gone down that year, we'd have gone under.
Any of those players in the Selhurst years should always be thought of fondly. Can anyone really think of one they didn't like?

Not really. Ralph Milne was pretty shite though. So many of those players had character and bottle.0

Well said Jimmy Melrose0

Garth does come to The Valley to watch some of our games. Shook his hand in the press area.0

Only one who I didn't think was anywhere near up to it.....David Campbell. He was excellent against us for Nottingham Forest when they thrashed us 4-0 and that must've been a huge factor in signing him but he never did it for us.

That sounds more buisness than pleasure
. Even Parker will be back twice a year when we are in the Premier league

Remember him interviewing all the Sodje brothers, and the first thing he said was "So, Sodje..." followed by the question.
To which their response was "erm, which one?"
Sums him up I think as a presenter/pundit - bumbling.0 -
He's alright is Garth, although the older he gets the more he looks like Lord Buddah0
-
I met Garth yesterday, rather bizarelly at a seminar or trade mark law. I had a brief chat and shook his hand. Nice guy! He said he went to a couple of games last season, but thought that my expectations were sky high when I suggested we'd finish top half next season. Had he never hear of Norwich or Southampton?0

I've heard about those Masonic handshakes ;0)

He's OK is Garth...but sometimes comes across as being a little intense (especially as a TV pundit), a likeable enough fella though who is very sociable and a good mixer.
Is always happy to 'talk football' and has a soft spot for The Addicks.0 -
....and memorably punched one in against Norwich at Smelhurst Park in 1988/89!
I'm sure he punched that one in against Norwich at Selhurst (Sainsbury's end). Went off him a bit after that but he was an excellent player for us.
That *WAS* my first Charlton game then (think we lost 1-2) - never realised he punched it in!! Thought it was a bit of a messy bundled header!0 -
Agree Garth was a really good player and also believe he is a nice blike but I just wish he would stop making an offside decision sound like the outbreak of WW3...lighten up man.
By the way my missus calls him Mr. Toad0 -
Not met him personally but on TV he gives me the impression he has an inflated opinion of himself. He also recently appears to have inflated himself somewhat, maybe that's why?0
-
Have fond memories of David Campbell kick the Spurs Keeper's teeth out before tapping the ball in at WHite Hart Lane in a 1-0 victory.0
-
Garth once broke up a fight between me and Leaburn.........luckily0

Absolutely spot on. I always look at him and think, the fella must be making a good insightful point but when you tune into it, the actual points being made are drivel.
I saw Alan Hansen playing some great games for Thistle when I was a kid, but it doesn't mean that I don't recognize that he's often smugly talking shit in his current career0 -
Talk about talking Sh*t - what about Lawrenson yesterday - no i in team - together everybody achieves more - groan!!!!!!0
-
And why does he attempt jokes.? I flipped the commentary to R5 and Alan Green was on. Nowhere to run.0
-
I've heard that before (Michael Scott or someone like that), but Lawro even had the gall to claim that he'd "just made it up".0
-
How I laughed when he passed the ball to the side hoardings at Orient.
As a pundit he certainly has character.0 -
Laughed in my face when I said we'd finish top half. Shows what he knows 0
-
Ol' Buddah from Stoke .... a nice man who is a bit different from most of the BBC pundits, different but still wrong 1/2 the time0
-
Recently watched a video of 'The Battle of the Bridge' and he was getting stuck in as much as everybody else and taking on Big Joe McClaughlin.

Leeroy on the FLS is the worst pundit ever0

Sorry that accolade goes to Steve Claridge ... unless you are saying Claridge is so bad that he does not warrant the title of punditcafcnick1992 said:Leeroy on the FLS is the worst pundit ever
