Worst Pundit?

Danny Murphy must give everybody else a wee shot of confidence, what a lot of drivel tonight?

No sure if it counts but Lee Dixon is just as bad.

Agree atrocious no real analysis and what seems little knowledge of players or football in general. Trying to be the new Mark Lawrenson.

Obviously not a football purist, praising good fouls and time wasting. An English version of Victor Meldrew or Davie Provan.

[Hibee Mac]

There's a lot of tired old pundits just now. Surely they can find better

[Just_Jimmy]

Dixon last night was grim. Murphy is the worst.

paid to watch football and yet you'd think he was at a wake.

Majority of them are rank and not required. Just have a commentator, most folk make up their own opinions on a match anyway. Don't need an ex pro trotting out the same old clichés

Ian Wright is a sad barsteward. I think he has problems. Apologies if I have hit a raw spot.

Not so sure. The commentary can be helped with some back n forth discussion on the game and when done well, works well. Hence why almost all live football has more than a single commentator.

It falls down though when you get total droning kill joys like Murphy. Awful, absolutely awful tonight. And the latest in a long list of awful nights from him.

Honorary mention in the awful league goes to whoever was the summariser on STV last night…he was so bad I had to flip to ITV!

Haha fair enough! Didn't actually catch the game and Murphy's performance tonight, seems I'm lucky on that front though!

Seen quite a few Spanish games when it's just a commentator and he does a grand job explaining the game and providing wee stats when required.

Jenas is another one, absolutely rank!

I hate them all but their tears yesterday were so enjoyable it’s worth it.

It’s exactly the same when they get horsed out by some perceived lesser country. It’s beautiful watching their arrogance come back to bite them.

There was lots of backtracking tonight on the English TV channels after Ferdinands very untypical patronising arrogance yesterday but it was more fun watching that big fat guy with a beard doing nothing else but interrupt Klinsman and Ferdinand and adding nothing.

No idea who he was or why he was there but even the excellent Lineker looked frustrated.

You're right. Had never heard of her either - she's apparently manager of Chelsea Ladies - but she was on ITV last night and was dreadful. Very Little Englander clichés - said she couldn't bring herself to say anything positive anout Germany, ever. Well, thanks for that intelligent insight. Idiot.

[ronaldo7]

Martin Keown.

[Highwayman]

Easy solution.

Put the television on as near to the start as possible.

Mute the commentator and pundit.

Put the television off at the end of the game.

Go to bed and sleep without bitterness about pundits etc.

Micah Richards, he was a cracking player for Man City and Villa, got 12 or 13 England caps too. Retired at 31. I actually agreed with everything he said about Scotland v England.

Hard to beat Charlie Nicholas when he first started out
He told a rather bemused Archie McPherson that Lambert calms the midfield ratios.

She’s one of the best IMO. Tactically very knowledgeable.

I’d suggest you really aren’t interested in the tactical elements of football if you really think that. Smart, insightful, points out everything that tactically is effecting a game. Everything I want in a co-comm. The others struggle to even name half the players.

Hes not imo. She is very well respected in the game and has given a lot of good insights so far.

[Dalianwanda]

From the small bit of Scottish coverage Ive caught Shelley Kerr is terrible...Its maybe just me but she always looks a bit aggressive as well, Id be slightly scared of her in the same room.

Ian Wright is hopeless, I really thoguht he was going to cry on Friday.

On the flip side I loved how animated & excited Sounness was about the Scotland performance but at half time & afterwards. It was great to see someone normally so measured almost lose the run of himself backing is country.

[Since90+2]

Emma Hayes: ‘Poland have moved their midfield line forward 10 yards allowing them to dominate 2nd phases of play, Slovakia’s AMIDs now have a large gap to cover in transitions putting pressure on the team, Lewandowski has to cover the pivot.’

Danny Murphy: ‘He kick ball hard!’

I think there is usually a lot more insight on the radio. Radio 5 always have excellent commentators and analysis. John Murray is my favourite commentator these days and it's good listening to Neil Lennon and Chris Waddle.

In terms of tv, its still enjoyable listening to Souness and Neville but it looks like the lifespan of commentstors and analysts is a lot shorter which is a shame as guys like Bobby Robson and Ron Atkinson were always worth listening to well into their old age. I also think Willie Miller offers a lot but know he gets slated on here.

It seems the new breed of analyst has to put on some kind of persona - cracking jokes or being controversial or coming out with some comments from.a coaching manual. Football's not a science and experience and insight count for a lot in my view.

Short answer to the question in the thread title though is Tom English.

The problem for a lot of these pundits is Ferdinand is so experienced and relaxed and on the whole fair and knowledgeable that these one off guys just look so bad.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Murphy said tonight that the penalty wasn't one and not even a free kick even though the defender stepped on the guys ankle, embarrassing.

I couldn't believe that. A nailed on penalty. Murphy said it shouldn't have have been given because the ball had gone before the foul (which he said wasn't even a foul). It doesn't matter if the ball had moved on; how can ex-player not know the rules?

Is that right? He seems to be well in with a lot of the guys at Villa - including Grealish, McGinn and quite a few of their former players. Doesn’t seem to stack up with your statement.

To be honest I don't get overly upset about the commentators or co-commentators, I watch the game as if I was at ER, I don't want anyone sitting next to me giving me a running commentary, although I once had to suffer it for a season till I moved seats 😊

Agree said Allen got the ball for the free kick leading to the goal was nowhere near it. You do get the impression a lot get the job on their name without either having the communication skills to do it or doing the research into other teams players tactics etc to pull it off.

Mark Lawrenson got pelters - rightly so - for his punditry but he was a good co-commentator, often picking up on things (such as a change of shape or tactics) not always obvious to those watching on tv. Exactly what a co-commentator should do.

I think a lot of the older guys are just a bit out of date. Even someone who was slaying relatively recently like Shearer speaks like he is from a totally different era at times.

The game has changed and I'm not sure that guys like Lawrenson, Wright, Dixon, Keown and in Scotland Willie Miller are bringing much to the party. It's often cliche and outdated cliche at that.

I like Gary Neville. He talks well and you feel you can learn something from him. As others have said Emma Hayes is decent as well. It's interesting listening to a current manager who isn't talking in that non talking way managers do when discussing their own side. She is a well educated coach who is a contemporary of the people she is talking about in terms of when she gained her qualifications.

The worst of the lot has to be Danny Murphy though. His job is quite literally to travel the world every couple of years to watch major football tournaments. He has absolutely no enthusiasm for it, states the obvious and sounds like he would rather be anywhere else.

I don't really watch the English TV channels hence he is very new and completely unknown to me but I am very surprised he is in such demand.

I caught up on the Keane thing and it just seems a vehicle for Keane with Richards being the straight man. Mostly drivel though I guess it pays well as its a clever sharp format at least.

If this guy Richards is the future though then its definitely back to the VPN for me but fortunately his ridiculous laugh and constant interruptions are easily avoided as there a lot of other pundits well worth listening to especially some of the English women.

Football punditry has become a full-blown industry and it's replaced opening a pub or driving a taxi as most ex-players' career choice. There appears to be a lot less training needed than those occupations as most are slaisters and any media training they've had isn't apparent from their TV or radio performances.

Potential tin helmet time but I've enjoyed Graeme Souness putting the "footballs coming home" brigade in their place during these Euros. It only needs him to look at Gary Neville and co with a look of disbelief/disdain and a few well-chosen words to put them firmly back in their box.

Yep Souness has been very good. Get the impression Neville and Keane probably annoyed him on Sky when they were revelling and double teaming him with Liverpools poor defence of the title. Neville in particular needs put in his place at times as although knowledgeable does imo take himself too serious at times and doesn't mind being a bit overly critical about other teams also. Him and Keane description of Netherlands being a shambles in the first game and having no chance of winning the tournament when De Jong was on an example of that.

Your description of punditry industry is spot on and so many ex pros whether good or bad will be making a decent living especially with the English premier having such worldwide coverage. BBC and itv seem fixated with having the big English names in the main rather than pundits who are good.

Souness was hilarious at half time in the Denmark - Belgium game.

They were discussing whether de Bruyne could come on and change the game, but Souness dismissed this notion. Top players like him knew you couldn’t come back from an injury and just switch it back on again…

45 minutes later and everyone is raving about a MOTM second half performance from de Bruyne that changed the game… including Souness of course, who just tries to style it out and pretend he didn’t say the exact opposite earlier.

Most of the pundits, including him, seem to think that strongly held opinions = analysis. Very tedious.

[DH1875]

I've changed my mind. Martin Keown for me now.

[flash]

Not sure about the worst, several to choose from, but almost all the female analysts have been a breath of fresh air.
Rather than a laddish double act with the commentator they actually explain things from a tactical viewpoint and often point things out you would otherwise have missed.

Gallacher's from Clydebank so I think we can say that it's not an regional accent thing.

Anyway, that's the first time I've heard him as co-commentator and I thought he was awful. I want these guys to give me insight that I don't have, not just state the obvious.

I thought Gordon Strachan was a really, really odd last night. You wonder if he's like that all the time in real life. It's almost like any question is an opportunity to be difficult or contrary.I think that's Gordon's persona. It worked well at Southampton (a relatively small club in Premiership terms) but really didnt work at Celtic where the fans didnt appreciate those mannerisms after a defeat, particularly in Europe.

I watched the ITV4 coverage at half-time and full-time which had Collins, Souness and Scott Brown. Souness was great. He was trying to be nice but couldnt help give his honest view of how disappointed he was. I think he got the right balance by being natural while othera try to be overly critical or defensive.

I think he meant "dawn" - easily done!

Gallagher's got a weird voice though.

Isn’t twilight just a description of a period between dark and light? So dawn would be a twilight in the same way as dusk.

Andy Walker.......

He might be more than the worst pundit, there is a very good chance he is the worst person with the ability to talk. Hates Hibs!

If we can include actual commentators, not pundits, the guy doing the Denmark Russia game (Guy Mowbray I think) came up with this gem ‘They like a good saga, the Danes, err…back in the Viking times, they like a story,the Danes. Well they’re certainly writing their own special story here!’ :rolleyes:

It’s the preparation he must have put into rehearsing that I can’t understand…

Why do I want to say "aha"...?

I wish they'd ditch Richard Gordon. He seemed rather amused that Scotland had been knocked out.
I suppose it makes a story for him.

I'm hunting high and low for an answer

Met him once, thought he was dull as dishwater, i wonder what his take on me was?

Not sure where the myth that he hates us comes from. I'll give you he's not a good co commentator though.

Astronomically speaking it’s factually correct.

Twilight is the name given to the light caused by the sun when it’s below the horizon. So occurs between dawn and sunrise as well as in the evening.

However, when talking about someone in the twilight of their career I’d argue that it’s accepted that it means the end rather than the beginning.

Maybe he has an astrology degree and simply can’t help but expand our knowledge? ;-)

He might well have but I’d hate to have to listen to him tell me about it.

The singer in Aha or Steve Coogan?
