mozo Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 What is he on about? There must be so much young talent yearning to get on the BBC gravy train but we let that dinosaur continue to distract from perfectly good football. He was an institution, now he's a played out.Anyone care to stick up for the old goon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Not really. Personally, I always used to despise Barry Davies. I'm sure he was a closet Nazi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 yes i will stick up for him, one of the most recognisable voices on tv and vast wealth of knowlege also sounds so hot, you wouldn't have put that voice to that bodyJohn Motson i would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he was a closet Nazi.Another dinosaur, like Brian Moore, who went on too long.'And it's...oh!...err...it's Drogbar!..oh no it's err...yes it is it's Drogbar and he's through...no, no he's offside.'That coupled with Lawro's camp twaddle.Gawd help us all.

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Mozo 4 the BBC!I like old Mr. Encychlopedia, doesn't continually use the same 5 cliches to get him through each game, knows his head from his arse, keeps a nice level headed even keel on things, good with words, good technical insight, good chemistry with other BBC staff - who speak very highly of him esp. Graham Le'Saux , respect to the man all round I reckon. Although a bit dry at times is known to have a wee chuckle when appropriate. BIG UP 2 THE MOTTYMcMOTMOT I say.Clive Tildsley on the other hand, he's my main commentating ball sucker. Totally over dramatic, wants nights of passion with all the biggest premaddona wancshafts such as Thierry Henry, sucks up big time to whoevers top of the Prem (when Arsenal were on that run, I did actually want to break all his ribs), thinks that it is him himself, that is due some kind of praise if the game happens to be entertaining - one of these muppett-faced bandwagon jumpers I recon. In sum, I just don't have a particularly high impression of the bloke, he's peed me off for a while. Motty would DESTROY him in a Football trivia quiz. (He would most people I know but...)

mozo Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Mozo 4 the BBC!Damn right. Bang up for it. It's time for the grandads (Martin Tyler included) to stick to smoking a pipe in their rocking chairs and let loose a more informal, youthful generation take over. Gimme a bag o' skunk and 6 cans of Natch and I'll give you some of the most enlightening commentery you've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I s'pose enlightening commentary is one description that could be used by the nation after you've put away that little lot, the boy's off his t1t5 again innit? would probably be more likely feedback I suspect.

Drawling on about Trevor the giraffe who lives in a tie-die caravan, whilst Lawro is in tears beside me. Ahh, sweet dreams are made of...booze and weed.Commentary like "viewers, watching Frank Lampard kick the ball is like watching a blue flamingo kick a pebble out of his path...man" would evoke imagery that would put the viewer at ease.

Northern Red Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Apparentley he used to be good.Honestly, he was, up until around 3 or 4 years ago. Then senility set in. I have been saying for a while now that he should be pensioned off to a home, where he can sit in his chair all day and dribble, and I'm glad there are people who agree with me. Though in Motty's defence, it can't be easy working with Lawrenson and Le Saux on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 More mindless, stuttering madness from Motty today, I really do despair.Motson and Lawro make Tyler and Gray seem like people you'd like to go for a pint with!I Couldn't agree more. What a pair of p****s they are. Lawro was going on about Abramovic not wearing a tie - so ****in what. I had to laugh at Moto going on about that bottle on the pitch going to the referee's report.They do have a dark side though. They mercilessly slagged off Cisse from the second he walked on the pitch with Lawro claiming the Blackburn game was his only ever decent game. Then when Sissoko went down at the end Lawro claimed he was putting it on. Hmm...can't imgine him saying that about Gerard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
