I’ve started this a little late but these comments deserve to be recorded somewhere. I’ll mainly be concentrating on association football for the next few weeks but it won’t be long before Marty Morrissey, Ger Canning and Jim Carney are back regularly polluting our airwaves too. So stick all commentator and pundit scheidt in here.
On Sky’s coverage of Manchester United-Bolton tonight:
It’s half time and Ronaldo has scored both goals
Jamie Redknapp: ‘Ronaldo won’t want to come off Ray, will he?’
Ray Wilkins: ‘No, the young man loves playing football.’
No shit Ray - professional footballer in enjoying football shocker.
Just a few minutes ago as a scramble unfolded in the Manchester United box:
Andy Gray: ‘Kevin Davies was being pulled all over the place there.’
‘Bolton should just settled for 2-0 Richard. They should go out in the second half and try to avoid a hammering to keep confidence up for the match on Saturday’.
What an utterly ridiculous thing to say.
That said I hate all the ‘lads’ that get on Redknapp’s back all the time. I remember being in a taxi listening to those insufferable fooks on Newstalk going on about how much of a legend Jamie Redknapp is and how he is the best analyst ever (taking the piss obviously) and they had all his quotes and stuff…
Jamie Redknapp is a buffoon of the highest order. I bet he was the really stupid kid in school. And i mean really really stupid kid…

there was a good one at half time in the leeds walsall match yesterday evening…looking back at a chance that jermaine beckford missed david jones turns to peter beagrie and says “fair play to the lad he is not afraid to miss” …
Scott Brown picked up his 13th booking of the season after making yet another stupid lunge today.
Meanwhile, Scott Booth in co-commentary thought Gordon Strachan was mostly to blame for his impending 3-game ban.
‘You have to question the manager and his use of the squad. Maybe Brown wouldn’t have picked up so many bookings if he wasn’t playing all the games.’
Fooking clown. Does he expect Strachan to play him 1 in every 3 so he won’t rack up too many bookings or something? Sign a player for a record fee between two Scottish clubs and then only cart him out once every few weeks? Dick.
It’s hardly Strachan’s fault Brown doesn’t appear to have a brain. We were playing fooking Gretna and there was absolutely no need to dive in. In addition, he should have known a booking would result in him missing 1/3 of the run-in, including at least one derby match.
Actually, I’m far more angry with Brown but Booth is a cock too.
And then the stupid comment at half time when we were going in a goal up “Strachan took a gamble by playing those near suspension, he’ll be hoping it works out for him.”
What sort of fucking gamble is it? Brown was going to miss the home game against the huns if he picked up a booking in the next 3 games. So would we rest him for Gretna, then rest him at Ibrox too to make sure he doesn’t pick up a suspension? Utter fool.
It’s the same innane commentary from him every week about not enough goals from other areas of the park. He had a go at McManus today for not scoring enough. By all means criticise him for whatever but 3 goals from a centre half isn’t unreasonable. It seems the only stats he has though are for goals so he’ll talk about everyone in terms of goals scored, like nothing else is relevant to the performance of a defender.
This one’s actually from a player but it definitely fits into the stupid category. Rio Ferdinand was telling the press how he’s been sharing the Manchester United captaincy with Ryan Giggs this season due to the Neviller’s injury and how the experience will help him ahead of his debut game as England captain. Anyway, he mentioned that ‘Giggsy’s come in and taken up the mantelpiece.’
Jackie Fullerton just there now after initially slagging some skillful young Georgia player off for taking an outrageous dive in the box against the occupied six:
‘In fairness to the 17-year-old, he is pretty tasty.’
I liked the rugby pundit on Setanta’s (can’t think of his name) little Ron Atkinsonesque moment where he describes Gloucester & England’s winger Lesley Vainikolo as “like something out of planet of the apes”
Martin Tyler, anytime he commentates on a Liverpool match, he gets in the usual “GERRRRRAAAAAAARRRRD!” comment before Stevie G lets one fly from 40 yards. In fairness he did hit the post yesterday but Tyler does it for the promo’s Sky use down the line.
