As long as Jonathon Davies doesn't do it, I don't care who does.

I listened to John Motson on MOTD just by chance..I wasn't watching but noticed how little he said apart from the names..no descriptive just a mini summery after the action had stopped for a goal kick. he truly is a poor 'commentator' the beeb should have let him go yo pasture years ago.
As for Stephenson..Pah..

Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.:Transparent Backgrounds/Kermit%20the%20Frog.gif |

"Yep... he took his eyes off the ball for a moment there..."
Not really going to miss Eddie or Stevo now. They have done a lot for the game over the years, but they are very repetitive now.
Wells, Carney and Voss for me.

Or not, as he packed it in at least 5 years ago. All personal opinion, of course, but to me he was a legend amongst commentators, and basically the voice of football on BBC for decades. Do you mean the MOTD highlight voiceovers he still does, by any chance? |

If you could get rid of one of them, which would it be. Personally I'd rather keep Stevo than Clarke.

Just give me a change as they do nearly every game on SKY, at least the NRL games on premier sports need an army of comentators due to the number of games that are showm on TV. I feel we do need to search for a future team to replace them Maybe we could use the many club TV shows to train them?

I never said it was live, as I said I was listening to MOTD, he is still employed to 'commentate' whether that is watching it live or not.
Voice of football for the BBC he may be but he is no legend in my opinion, just familiar and has a voice that isn't particularly grating.
But given what I heard last Sat or Sun (& I've listened to his commentaries for years) he just says the names of the player the ball went to, not even a mention of a pass or if they were stood in X position. anyone can call out the name of the player the ball goes to and then describe what just happened. Even in his pomp his commentary was very bare and lacking descriptive narration, now it's almost like listening to Eddie Waring in his latter years.
