Worst sport commentator?

Got to say here, Robbie Savage is actually rather good as a summariser.

But that may be just because he got merked by the ball in that commentary the other day :D

 
That girl how was been doing the winter Olympics i don't think she has realised she is actually meant to do say something.

I'm only qualified to post about footy ...

Missed this thread first time round. So many shit commentators but Alan Green definitely the worst for me, and Jonathan Pearce not far behind. Clive Tyldesley isn't anywhere in my fan book either.
 
Iain Robertson of Radio 5 fame is a tit. He's everything Bill McLaren wasn't. Nasty, nasty man.

Co-commentating is all the poorer for Chris Waddle.

is that Lizzie whatshername off the Football League show? She annoys me beyond all sense. Ditzy,annoying, patronising....i wish the winter olympics could last until the end of the football season so i don't have to listen to her again.
 
The biggest crime a football commentator can make is to say what they want to see rather than what is actually occurring. Add to this making endless pre-prepared gushing comments about star players / previous events and it's all just non-sense, just shut up and commentate on what you are actually seeing at the moment, and yes ITV I'm talking about you at the moment.

Special shout going out to Motty, someone who's commentary skills peaked in 1972 with the Hereford v Newcastle game. These days it's like being sat next some senile old bloke at the ground.

A typical Motson TV commentary these days ...

... striker beats two players and lashes one from 25 yards beats the keeper all ends up and smacks the post....

[Motson] I say what happened there?... some people may say that may have hit the post ....
 
Tony Gubba on Strictly Come Ice Dancing On Ice!

Slightly creepy. Actually, more than slightly.
 
the two blokes commentating on the Ski Cross at the Olympics yesterday were pretty rubbish. both shouting over each other and trying to out do each other on making errors and then pointing them out to the other one

no idea what they were called.

the event itself was pretty fun though!

Did you hear the male/female commentary team for the snowboard - she was a Norwegian snowboarder who didn't seem to know the mike was on, and he didn't seem to recognise what he was meant to describe.

Think Sally Gunnell.
Or Hana Mandlikova analysing Wimbledon.
Or Cathy Freeman when she did the Olympics - was she a record for binning or was that Gazza as an itv studio pundit?

The ski cross pair were better by miles, amazing though that may seem (but yes, still pretty shit - Errol Flynn :facepalm::D)

Was that where she started randomly talking about someone who'd fallen over outside their commentary box? I gave up listening and just watched the action.

That was it.. I had the feeling the commentator should have been leading her a bit better, doing that arm tap thing they do, so they don't talk over each other etc.

I quite liked them, probably cos the event was so crazy it seemed to fit
