Sorry, but they sound just wrong. To me they have just learnt the phrases to use from a text book and dont actually understand what they are describing. I know its not PC but I just cant take them seriously.

And women wearing trousers and working outside the home. What's the world coming to?

I don’t mind them to be honest. Although there is one who grates on me as she sounds like a twelve year old boy. But then there’s male commentators who’s voice and style grate on me too.

Most commentators are wallies whether they have willies or not. Cliches all over the place and a focus on being articulate rather than footballing substance.

A great commentator doesn't just describe what happens on the pitch or state the bleeding obvious. Male or female haven't seen many.

Always liked Mottie and Barry Davies. Not so keen on the radio commentators (especially Alan Green) although there job is a bit harder because you cant see what they are trying to describe.

Not sure what is worse. This thread or the bloke on the Cov City fans forum facebook page who said "Coventry has never been a racist club, lets list our 5 favourite black players to wear a City shirt..."

Most of them are boring as fuck and haven't a clue. Clive Tyldsley being by far the worst.

It's ironic I was only thinking recently how good some of the female commentators are getting now they've had a chance to gain experience
If we're talking about bad commentators how about the obnoxious Alan Green and the Alan Partridge of expert analysts Danny Mills
I turn both of them off

I can’t stand Alan Green, never has a man had such a high opinion of his own opinion.

The comment the op made about women in football is the same as people used to make about 30 years about black footballers.

The first one I heard I didn’t like but because it’s something you are not used to but now like the men there are good and bad and I don’t think it’s a man or a woman

Shouldn't this be on the confessions thread?
It should be. I have enough problems with my wife commentating on my sexual performance, so I would be more than happy if she turned her hand to football commentary instead.

'You've hit the bra, you've hit the bra!'

'In the box, in the box!'

'The ball's not fully in the circle!'

'Bad tackle, bad tackle.'

'You can't last the full 90 minutes.'

'He shoots, he misses.'

'He's gone down far too easily there.'

'He keeps dribbling, but there's no end product.'

You need to practice keepy-uppies when she's out of the house...

Sorry, but they sound just wrong. To me they have just learnt the phrases to use from a text book and dont actually understand what they are describing. I know its not PC but I just cant take them seriously.

Did you run onto the pitch yesterday?

You must be something of a pork swordsman to measure your performance in minutes rather than seconds!
