Eco Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Seems Chappers is replacing Colin M next season. Bit of a shame as I quite like Murray, bit off kilter sometimes and not afraid to ask pertinent fan-type questions. Maybe he's got too much on his plate as he seems to be everywhere these days, although Chapman is as well come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngish Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am very happy about this news. Colin Murray is an excellent radio presenter, I think he's great on 5 Live, but on TV he just comes across as annoying. Chappers is a very solid presenter, I like him. I would also like Dan Walker to be given a larger role, perhaps taking over the MOTD reigns from Lineker once he's had enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Everyone seems to like Mark Chapman, so I guess there won't won't be any public outcry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you - he's a bit different to the usual bland style of "say nothing" presenting. Think part of the reason is that MoTD2 is effectively a bigger gig in terms of matches than the Saturday version (it's now on beeb1). Surprised Lineker hasn't been told to do it.... Perhaps he doesn't do Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Colin Murray has to be the most annoying presenter of them all. He tries too hard to be witty and one of the boys.His Ulster accent irritates me no end. Its only his particular accent that irritates and not the Ulster accent per say. I can't say I'm sorry to be him replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 With you there robbo. His voice goes right through me and his smirky little face is just asking for a slap. Hes probably a nice guy but lets be honest, he is a bit of an a55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 The presenter doesn't particularly bother me too much on either MOTD or MOTD2, the problem is the terrible pundits and analysis (especially on a Saturday). They aren't helped by the lack of available time and the rush to get things prepared before they go on air, but even still the likes of Hansen, Lawrenson, Shearer et al offer a pathetic summary of the action. Contrast the current BBC offerings to Sky and they just look amatuerish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I'm sorry to be him replaced. Au contraire, I prefer CM's N Irish accent to someone like Ian Paisley or Gerry Adams which are both 'harsh' if you know what I mean.

mjallen Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Agree with this line of thinking regarding most skills in life... more or less saying that Shearer, Hansen, etc. are totals ****s. Especially agree with: "(The BBC) It is the leaden heavyweights of the punditry sofa who should be in the process of being swept aside in a long-awaited punditry annihilation, a mass-junking of all that old, gruelling heavy-furniture, weathered by cliché, slumped in an attitude of belligerent complacency, silencing rather than starting debate, hugely over-remunerated for a service that offers, essentially, no service." http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/blog/2013/jan/22/colin-murray-motd2-bbc?CMP=twt_gu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on I turn over and put the radio on, he's an absolute mongtard. If he was a dog he's be taken out into the snow and shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Youell Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It passed the Adrian Chiles test, that test being that if the individual in question is not Adrian Chiles, they are fine to present sports programmes. The only expection to this test is of course the Alan Lawrenson test. Personally I like Colin and I don't think he's going to struggle for work.

Hansen is my particular pet hate, whilst it is patently obvious that Shearer is rubbish and Lawrenson looks bored, Hansen somehow convinces people that he knows what he is on about despite clearly doing no research and endlessly repeating the same 5 or 6 phrases for the last nine years. It is simply a disgrace how much this arrogant fool is being paid by the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippy273 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think the BBC in general have tried to put on the more 'catchy' accent presenters, The One Show is a prime example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Quite like Chappers but agree its the pundits that need a refresh not the presenter. MOTD2 used to be the better show when it first started because it had better pundits, now it tends to have the same old boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
