Where's Motty?

[Vapin' Joe]

The commentators on both channels are crap. Has John Motson retired, or was he (mistakenly) dropped by the beeb?

 

[Dayvo]

What, you mean Motson wasn't crap?

Bring back Barry Davies!

He retired

 

[dragon72]

He's probably boring people with ridiculously irrelevant stats and laughing at his own jokes somewhere

The football commentators are brilliant compared to Jonathan Legard on F1.

 

[Davidc]

He keeps popping up as a pundit.

Mottie appeared on BBC at 9.45 tonight to argue against technology to help refs.

As Kenneth Wolstenholme said "They think it's all over - it is now"

Think Mick McCarthy was better ....................?

Bloody Motson. He was the one who introduced that "[player's name] in a weird drawn-out whine" mannerism every time anyone shaped up to shoot, just so that if it went in he could finish in the same breath and it sounded as if he had predicted it. Now they all do it.
