Peter Drury on commentary

[daveyblue45]

A

n arsehole is useful

absolutely CANNOT argue with that wisdom Mr W!!!

Gerald Sinstadt. Class

Spot on marra! Remember him from the mid sixties on Granada sundee arvo! brill!

I don’t like his flowery prose.

When I was a kid and first got into football (1992), there was Motson, Davies, Moore, Sindstadt, Gubba, and Alan Parry, and a young Clive Tyldesley (Tyler was on Sky and we didn’t have that). What a golden era of commentators!

Same, I don’t watch many other matches live except safc, commentators and pundits are absolutely shite nowadays

 

[hank williams]

Wasn’t it him who called Almiron

Miggy ffs

 

[Deleted member 6458]

He's certainly no Roger Thames

 

[BucketBiff]

I absolutely f***ing hate the way that he shouts REALLY LOUD, the name of whichever player is having a shot.

Years ago he used to shout Drogba like he was about to jizz into his sock

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

The worst thing about yesterday's commentary was Carragher.

 

[Super Ted]

It’s class but in a very small dose, he does it far too often imo.

This, The best bit of commentary I have heard was when that Greek lad for Roma scored in the CL overturning the deficit from Barca -

You must be logged on to see media items

But half the stuff he says now must be so scripted it's just lost it's entire appeal.

Without a doubt Tyler was finished, but this fella takes it to a whole new level of unbearability

Tyler still works for the foreign streams. He's miles better than Dury.

Jesus thats saying something, Tyler's dreadful

He tries to make every single moment a highlight that in 5/10 years time will look amazing as a 30 second clip on youtube. I think it was Gallagher in the last few minutes of normal time where really he should have scored and he shouts something like “This is Connor Gallagher”. If that goal goes in and he wins the cup that moment will become iconic for years, instead it was a decent save and the shouting wasn’t needed.

All he needs to do is give himself a second or so to let the moment happen before deciding if he needs to go mental.

 

[Boinger]

Pien Meulensteen is the best of the lot currently, with Ally McCoist the best co-commentator by miles.

 

[thecloughywobble]

Anyone else can’t f***ing stand the absolute shite that comes out of his mouth? Tries far too hard to be poetic, comes across as scripted nonsense.
Another reason these prime tv games are unbearable to watch.
He started off this final with this:

‘The Red Sea and blue, in thrilling discord with the red Mersey beat. It is the ear splitting heart pumping disharmony of the dream Wembley event. They're at it again, blues and reds for the first prize of springtime for the fresh cream shoot of a new Chelsea blossoming all for the final flowering of liverpool under Jurgen klopp

What do you expect? The man's an arse....

 

[penno13]

Can’t take his full name shouting anymore

 

[Safc98]

He’s a total arse

 

[Deleted member 44759]

Absolutely abysmal.

 

[Mace]

Got nowt on Clive Tyldsley

 

[Ch1982]

Can’t take his full name shouting anymore

Gets right on my tits

 

[Bald King]

Can’t take his full name shouting anymore

Comes out with wet fish comments like a tampon bird. Purity bollocks for that Chelsea goal.

 

[Mowgli]

Don't mind him me tbh

 

[Boinger]

What I find strange is that it seems a common theme about him being annoyingly shite yet he still gets the gig. Surely sky must see some of the negative reaction to him.
