Lawrenson

[Dashing Bob S]

Please somebody put this bore out to grass. A bigger embarrassment to the BBC now than their old stable of public school radio one DJ’s before Whitehouse and Enfield destroyed that woeful cabal with Smashy and Nicey.

Could make Spain- Portugal feel like watching a You Tube video of how to change a lightbulb

[Greenworld]

100% agree

Agree. Which ones were the public school DJs? Just curious to know.

Agree , he was talking about 15 min segments if Australia can hold out each one. Jeez it’s meant to be entertainment and he talking about shutting up shop .

Tv licence payers throughout the UK are being absolutely cheated paying for this guy to paid handsomely for the privilege of commentating on major football tournaments. I don’t know anyone that likes him so the question is why do the BBC continue to employ him to do just that?

You’d think he had the worst job in the world as opposed to one of the best. The moaning and sarcasm are ridiculous and some of his comments on foreign players are borderline xenophobic.

[Colr]

I find his constant tone of whining incredulity difficult to tolerate

[Scouse Hibee]

I find it amusing that so many people get so annoyed about Lawrenson, liked him as a player and he doesn't overly bother me as a commentator.

[ACLeith]

A total failure as a manager himself = BBC give him freedom to criticise those who can do the job. Along with his first class honours degree in stating the flipping obvious.

Well you would do and he wouldn’t.

John Peel and Tony Blackburn for 2.

[Pretty Boy]

Lawrenson and Danny Murphy both get on my nerves.

Paid a decent wage to travel the world to watch and talk about football and both their faces are always tripping them. It's either a monotone drone with Murphy or whining and moaning from Lawrenson. At least try to feign some enthusiasm.

[JeMeSouviens]

Lawrenson sounds like he hates being there, in fact he seems to just hate football generally.

Hates life generally, from what I can make out. Only time I've seen him animated was when he did a piece on the Spion Kop, which I think was actually about a massive defeat for the British in the Boer War.

He's weird.

Yeah but, like me, he has entered that stage in life where your discribed as an old codger & he is.

The Boer War? Presumably he won?

Blackburn is a bit of a surprise.

100% agree! Unbelievably boring, gets everything wrong but argues he's correct even when proven wrong. Total d-- -k.

He’s just simply horrific as a co-commentator or pundit. No matter if you like him or not no one can deny he’s a sour faced prick who shouldn’t be near any football games that are on tv.

[Bostonhibby]

Joyless, getting paid to attend events most could only dream about but seems to thrive in finding only negatives even if there are very few.

The Jacob Rees Mogg of football commentary.

He's a horrendous commentator. Always making sarcastic, over the top remarks about foreign players that he would never dream of making about England players. He's far too critical about very minor details.

I don't know who decided that he was a good pundit.

[nellio]

I said on the WC thread that I didn't like him. Absolutely shocking.

And definitely not John Peel.

and I’m not even a Liverpool fan.

I would say he is better on radio, because he tends to add to the commentary. On the tv he often just tells you something you can already see with your own eyes.

As a fellow scouse Hibby (by residency) you are being too kind. Good player but he is hardly entertaining as a commentator and a voice that with the inherent wining is painful. How he is still there is anyone's guess.

I find Lawrenson alright K, but Danny Murphy is dire

[WoreTheGreen]

I find Danny dire also

[NOLA]

He seems to find a negative aspect on everything which annoys me but meh he needs the gig to pay for his TG op
