The guy should retire now. I'm sick of his repetitive "commentary" now. He has nothing new to say.

It's obvious to anyone Stevo is a Wigan fan.

As a Saints fan who started watching when wigan were dominating, it really used to annoy me how much Eddie and Stevo waxed lyrical about them, but with hindsight it was just because they were the best team at the time.
That memory always makes me chuckle when I read the threads about them now [ihating anything Wigan[/i that some posters indulge in.

Poor Stevo, he just can't win.

I really like the bits of analysis that Wells & Carney do post game. It's the kind of analysis that's missing from the SuperLeague Show. Sadly both the SLS and SL Fulltime are boring.

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..

"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?

Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "
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.
