| What commentator do you dislike the most? 20:13 - Feb 17 with 930 views | DorsetIan | Steve Cram at the Winter Olympics is appalling. He’s bad enough for athletics but his Curling commentary is toe curling. He can’t shut up and nothing he says is of any interest, as is clear as soon as the experts with him speak. And he absolutely loves using technical Curling terms as if he’s itk. It’s embarrassing. |  |

An absolute disaster as a manager but he continually pontificates about tactics when his track record proves he hasn’t the slightest clue. The only saving grace is that most of the time he mumbles so much that I simply can’t understand much of the utter dribble he talks. |  |

There's so many terrible football presenters / commentators that it would be much easier to name the best one. I just can't tolerate Carragher or Neville who both insist on talking absolute garbage instead of just commenting on the match. Sp glad that I've got a mute button. I'd choose Alan Smith as the best, he only speaks when he's got something constructive to say & he doesn't resort to shouting, he's easy on the ear. |  | |  |

Whoever the knobhead is who shouts “AND ITS LIVE” That was Martin Tyler. He's 80 now and retired a few years back... |  |

| What commentator do you dislike the most? on 13:02 - Feb 18 with 462 views | PatfromPoole | I rarely watch football on the TV, partly as I have little interest in it, and partly due to the commentators. Matterface is an arse. ITV should be banned from screening football for sacking the excellent Clive Tydlesley and replacing him with that berk. Jonathan Pearce is utterly terrible. Has inherited the Motson trait of treating the viewer as if they were a 4 year-old. Barry Davies was the master. Treated the viewer as a grown-up and more than willing to give a negative opinion with a withering put-down. [Post edited 18 Feb 15:21]

I think Peter Drury might be AI. Every time someone shoots he shouts their full name. Every single time. And he always tries to get the full name in. And always with a ridiculously excitable intonation. Once you've noticed it, that's every game he commentates on ruined. He's the second worst Premier League thing after VAR. God only know how he has become Sky's lead commentator. Unless he's AI, as I say. |  |

Jon Champion. Peter Drury. Clive Tyldesley are decent as is Ally McCoist. Vikki Sparks. Karen Carney. Eni Aluko are useless and earning money under false pretences |  | |  |
| What commentator do you dislike the most? on 13:57 - Feb 18 with 410 views | SonicBoom | I'd agree Matterface is the most irritating. He prepares a list of stats, then when someone scores he shouts (as if he's a fan) but whilst shouting he is listing off stats. It's so weird. And Morrison. I just can't bear ex players that can't really string a coherent sentence together that get on every show. Surely being a broadcaster requires a level of communication skills? |  | |  |

Spot on Pat. Barry Davies was a class above the rest. I never understood how the BBC elected to put the man-child Motson on the FA Cup Final ahead of Barry Davies, Motson was not fit to lace his boots. Have to say I didn’t mind Brian Moore on ITV, in fact I used to watch the build up to the FA Cup Final on the BBC then switch over to ITV for the 1st half as Moore v Motson was no contest, then back to BBC for half time and back again to ITV for the second half so no annoying ads and no annoying Motson sounding like an excitable schoolboy on crack. Thinking back to the old days of the Big Match highlights show on Sunday about 2pm. Some of the regional commentators were so biased in favour of their local teams. The likes of Hugh Johns & John Helm (ATV & YTV respectively) were amongst the best when it came to commentating through rose tinted specs. That said one of my favourite World Cup memories was John Helm, a dyed-in-the-wool Yorkshireman & England supporter commentating on Brazil v Scotland, he couldn’t disguise his unbounded joy at seeing Scotland get a right pasting by Brazil describing one goal Zico scored as perfect goalscoring, but he just sounded SO very happy. |  | |  |
