shaunieboy77 73 Posted March 11, 2018 " This is almost fantasy football" as Bowen made it 2-0. Our greatest ever match commentated by an absolute legend. Proof that you don''t need to be an ex player to commentate on football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wazzock 902 Posted March 13, 2018 Can''t see there ever being one as good as Motty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 13, 2018 Definitely better than his rival Barry Davies who was too far up himself.At least Motty commentated like the nerd at the front of the coach on away trips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 272 Posted March 13, 2018 Much preferred Barry Davies, who only spoke when he needed to instead of the cliche ridden Motson. Motson became a parody of himself, though the ''pretend live'' stuff did he no favours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted March 13, 2018 Motson was one of the most irritating commentators I''ve ever heard. He knew nothing about football & his comments were akin to those of a 12 year old girl who''d never seen a football match before. (" ooh what was he thinking of there, ooh I''m sure he didn''t mean that, ooh now that''s an interesting decision by the ref ... ) jabber jabber jabber. And all pointless.Barry Davies was peerless. Only spoke when it served to clarify & inform, but could get as genuinely passionate about a piece of footballing magic as any other fan. He was a class act & I really miss his commentaries.

STFU 0 Posted March 13, 2018 I listened to the game on Sunday and thought he was pretty awful to be honest-didn’t seem to know what had happened quite a lot of the time-compared to the rugby commentator, Ian Robertson is it, who is also retiring this season. I don’t like rugby but I listened to the Scotland v England match and he was excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted March 13, 2018 He decided to quit before he got assigned to one of our games - despite all his experience he couldn''t think of a way to make us sound interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
