Poor punditry /'expert' opinion comments

[TW1Bee]

Thought it unusual to have a current player of one of the teams playing tonight (ie Dan Burn) on the pundits panel especially having to big up their opponents who've just beaten them.

Glad I missed that then! Were they as insightful as the random utterings of Less Furredindan ?

In Keith’s post match interview with the BBC’s Jonathan Pearce, the interviewer implied Kelleher was at fault for Chelsea’s second goal. I think when Keith has had a chance to watch it back, he will see it was a wayward pass from Collins that resulted in Kelleher conceding the penalty.

Not sure it was particularly wayward? Kellerher miss controlled

He had to stretch for it.

Andy Flower on Under 19 cricket commentary today. "It's great to see these young men learning to play with themselves" and then hurriedly "Sorry, I mean play with each other".

I'm sure the commentator tonight said that Thiago had already beaten Pope from the spot this season.

Good catch! It was Ramsdale in goal for the penalty, as Pope had been subbed off just before it was taken.

An over-excited commentator on Spanish DAZN getting his Keiths mixed up and claiming that Keith Richards was Bees manager.

Steve Harmison at the weekend, the reporter at St James Park on Talkbollox referring to the goals scored by Janlet and Wattari

Stick to cricket mate.

Martin Keown is stealing a living as a pundit. If he's not talking about Arsenal he's absolutely clueless.

His opening gambit to Keith pre-match 'Keith, three years ago you were a pundit, like us here. Then you find yourself in a set piece coach role and now the manager of a Premier League team' As if Keith had rolled out of bed one morning straight into a Head Coach role.
Keith was very professional in his response but did begin with 'I've been a coach since I was 29.......'

Post match the best he could come up with was the usual 'they keep finding these strikers ...... Toney ....... Thiago ....... and the two from last season' (must've forgotten their names but knew we did have a couple of good ones).

It did make me chuckle when he interviewed Gyokeres. He did have to introduce himself as a former player.

He was very complimentary about us at HT & FT but, to be honest, you'd be a fool not to be impressed with our performance but he had nothing of substance or knowledge to add.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Keown was desperate to find someone who agreed with him that Sepp fouled Gabriel for our goal. Oh the irony of an Arsenal man calling for fouls at set pieces.

Didnt he also make some nonsense comment about the ref "letting anything go in the penalty area" ??
Firstly, it looked nothing like that from where I was.
And secondly, even if he did, that was to Arsenal's advantage, as they're masters at it!!
T**t!!!

Less messy than ‘letting everything go’ on live tv?

He did that whilst talking about the Gabriel non yellow, which ironically was "let go" outside the box

 

[Beast of Frankfurt]

Further proof, if any was needed, that Wayne Rooney is as a pundit as he was a manager. According to Wayne, Arsenal don't have any world class players. I'm sorry, but if you don't think Declan Rice is world class you are either :
a) a Spurs supporter
b) someone who's never watched a game of football
Or c) a complete end.
And Mr Rooney is most definitely a c).

Listening to Martin Tyler on BBC champions league highlights he sounds really bored these days

He sounded bored for years while he was at sky. Always felt like he'd made a real effort to turn up and was more interested in chatting to his co-commentator about something else.

To be fair no one could have seen that coming....

Got to love Sam Parkin. “He’s not doing much, other than the elbow to the

[Mikey Bee]

I might be wrong but I'm sure I heard the commentator of the Spuds v Florets game say something along the lines of "Whilst this game may not be definitive for these two teams, it may define their season"...

Double standards by former Leeds keeper Paul Robinson on co-coms for our game.

Calls out CK massively for his tactical injury. Never heard a commentary team do it like this before despite it happening every week in the PL.

Then Dan James buys a foul and feigns injury, calls this ‘intelligent’.

 

[paulj]

That idiot Paul Robinson said during the Spurs game this afternoon They need 11 Richarlisons on the pitch because of his whole hearted attitude etc etc. I that was the case they would probably end up with 7 or 8 players left after 90 mins.

Reminds me of my school report, many years ago. “Speaks beyond his intellect”.
My preferred GK pundits would be led by Rob Green and Mark Schwarzer…

Soccer Saturday today.

Either Mike Dean is on holiday or he's quietly been dropped from the programme.

No sign of him this afternoon. He's not missed, by the way.

 

[Lippy18]

This week I’ve read more than one ‘expert’ say how bad Villa have been so far this season, and how good and unbeaten Brentford are. They then go and say they expect Villa to win with no explanation or reason for this. Same with the Chelsea - Bournemouth game.

These people are well paid and just go with “the big club will win”. I could do that for half the money, if anyone from the BBC is reading this?

 

[mhead bee]

Watching Chelsea V Everton, the commentator just said Jordon Hendersons goal last week was his first in the premier league for 5 years.

We just don’t exist here do we

“That is Tarkovsky 73rd yellow card, but he has never been sent off after a yellow card”


f***ing hell, come on, what about the day we won the FA cup at orient

Just got in car at put talk sport on. Apparently this is the first time this season Chelsea haven’t scored by half time

“That is Tarkovsky 73rd yellow card, but he has never been sent off after a yellow card”

Straight red?

Second yellow, silly challenge on a yellow

Probably means premier league I guess

 

[HantsBee]

And as for Seb Hutchinson at Sky - all he does is quote meaningless statistics instead of commentating on the game itself - probably as his grasp of the laws doesn't appear to be that great.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Remember it being rash but couldn’t remember if red on its own merit.
