Tough watch this with 3 commentators !  Fucking diabolic having Hoddle AND Macca blathering shite constantly 

It’s such a bad idea it beggars belief. Particularly Hoddle. ‘ outstanding’.

Bajaysus now they’re bring in Peter Walton too. Adds a huge amount to the viewer experience, it really does.

How the hell did the likes of Barry Davies manage to get through a game without an army of bellends chipping in every few seconds .,

What I hated about Barry Davies was he wasn’t even into footy, the pompous cunt just did it as his job. At least Motson lived for the game. 
I have Russian commentary on currently. Far better for the blood pressure.

I didn't mind Davies. Motson of course became a massive football nerd ., I think they both did the job pretty well in their own ways.  I don't think being passionate about football is a prerequisite to being a good commentator as long as they can inform the viewer without being intrusive. In this era of co-commentators they are all retired footballers that want to tell you what their views are thinking it's being insightful when in reality it's mostly banal and obvious.

Excellent points actually. I just got a bit vociferous after a couple of lockdown beers. I used to quite like Davies in hindsight, at his peak. He had a voice that was good for momentous moments. One of my favourite liverpool goals involves his great commentary.

(‘The old firm have done it...One nil, and that’ll be enough.’)

Lockdown beers are fine by me. Had a couple myself earlier

I was talking about Dalglish at Stamford Bridge, but on YouTube it’s Motson commentating. Is this what early onset dementia is like? Either way my point stands. Just need to remember what it was.
