HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Jim Beglin is a disgrace. A stamp is now a little touch.

I remember Gary Stevens snapping Beglin's leg at the pit many moons ago.
It should have been his vocal cords that he snapped.
One boring, bitter against LFC (for some reason) negative twat.

McCoist finds everything too amazing. It’s annoying.

Every goal, every tackle, every pass. It’s all the best thing he has ever seen. Both of them needed to just stop TALKING A BIT LAST NIGHT especially randomly shouty Fletch

I thought McCoist was good last night. I enjoy listening to him. And let's be honest, that Nkuku tackle was a penalty I've no problem with him saying that. Gallagher one could have been given too. Imagine Tierney denied us those 2? McCoist doesn't appear to have any bias which I like. If he thinks we were a little fortunate with 1 or 2 decisions doesn't mean he's shite. And he seems to love Nunez, feels like he really enjoys watching him play the game

He was fine with the exception of going on about the "penalty" for like 10 mins

I agree, although I disagree with him that it was the stonewall penalty he was demanding. But he made the experience much better and laid continuous praise on Liverpool, which is always nice to hear!

McCoist has been unbearable the last few times I've listened to him, he really has.

He was desperate for Chelsea to get a penalty last night, he really was.

Give me Lucy Ward any day of the week over him.

Now now, don't go too far

On the subject of Ward, I flicked the Forest v Arsenal game on the other night, cross comes in from the left, easy catch for the keeper and the CB, rather than leave it heads it for a corner, comms was questioning it and she pipes up with "for me he's done the right thing putting it out for a corner, Jesus was behind him" Jesus was about 10 yards away and wasn't getting the ball and Arsenal lead the goals from corners table.

On Sunday I'm hoping we do everything we can to deny them corners.

No the worst on TV but Joe Cole just grates more and more every time I hear him. Apart from his pure bias towards Chelsea he is just thick as shit and chats stuff he clearly doesn't have a clue about. Honestly baffling how producers pick him as I'm sure there's loads of others wanting to get on.

I remember, now I'm ranting on, a time ages ago he was trying to master the whole monday night football screen thing moving stuff around using the controls, the presenter was giving him praise for using it like he was some ten year old with learning difficulties. That was probably just a natural slip as he really is dense as fuck, that person was probably around him while he was trying to master the rewind button for half a day obviously knew that.

The point is on Prime he would not have laboured the point but it's different when its the other two broadcasters.

I've a great idea of these tubes should think of doing. Might be a bit out there like but how about someone giving Man Of The Match to whoever, I dunno, was the best player in the game, and not always automatically to whoever scores.
Completely pointless award unless the game is a 0-0. Heard Sam Materface today, gave it to Richarlason. But then he said if Spurs had of won, he would have gave it to Van De Ven because he was exceptional and the best player on the pitch.

I don't get the dislike for McCoist in general. He believed it was a penalty (second one was arguably more than the first one). He just needs to stick to what he does that makes him likeable as co commentator imo

Why? He knows fuck all about motorsport, can't they find someone who actually has an interest in the sport to present it?

He's pretty perfect for it though. Bland, manufactured, irritating noise and aimed at a market that doesn't exist.

True but at least he's played in the PL and for England, I doubt he's ever been in a go kart or watched a formula e race, no matter what he claims in interviews. At least the presenters on MotoGP for example, Suzi Perry and Natalie Quirk, actually have an interest in the sport, so can talk about it with enthusiasm, I doubt Jenas gives two shits about promoting the sport

No, sorry. I hate him

He's a presenter on the One Show for fuck sake. That really is his level.

Stick him on Countryfile, Songs of Praise or Antiques Roadshow. But keep him away from Sports.

The TV companies got wise to Adrian Chiles eventually and axed him from the sports stuff. Here's hoping they do the same with this baby-faced gimp.

Is there a commentator or pundit that RAWK likes? Seems like as soon as they say something you disagree with they are on the shit list. I saw Sturridge is popular right now. But fully expect him to be dead to people soon as he says Man City deserved a penalty or something.

Don't get me wrong there aren't that many good ones. Most are just ehh hit and miss to be honest

Skeeve · « **Reply #392 on:** February 5, 2024, 06:58:23 pm »

The ones who are not on Sky or BT would have a chance of being liked, those two seem to have too much of an agenda to follow for anyone to remain likable.

Clive Tydlsley is still good, McCoist and him work well together. Sadly, Sky and TNT insist on giving us fucking idiots.
