Who's The Irish Commentator...

Post by TheGingerBomber »

That somehow got the gig for David Haye vs Carl Thompson and Lennox Lewis vs Oliver McCall?

He grinds on me, stating both of their careers are in tatters after the upsets!

Jim Neilly. Hugely irritating know-nothing.

He's dismal

I honestly wouldn't be able to choose between him and Adam Smith as a commentator. I think we would all unanimously choose the mute button over both

Alan Green. A fetid gimp with a headset. The man who disguises his stultifying lack of tactical acumen by contriving controversies about referees and managers. I loathe him as much as I do Davina McCall. Which is quite a yardstick.

I really don't mind Adam Smith that much, he can be very pro-Matchroom but he's for the most part very good at hyping!

But aye Alan Green what a wanker.

Agree completely in both cases.

Can't stand the way Green moralizes about fans leaving the ground early like it's any of his business when the paying customer chooses to leave. I'm sure everyone would stay til the final whistle if they were on the BBC gravy train, trousering ridiculous amounts of taxpayers money to talk shite, happy in the knowledge that your chauffeur driven BBC limo is ready to deliver you home at your convenience.

Good old Graham. A perpetual class act standing up to Green's gurning.

I can't imagine anyone would miss the little humunculus when he finally kicks the bucket.

Mark Saggers is another one mentioned in the article, little angry piss pot.

I remember Alan Green as the one who said about Sun Jihai "Number 17 so that's a chicken chow mein"

Bang on. Really can't stand Green - and for the exact same reason. There is nothing more tiresome than commentators who slag off refs in order to sound clever. I understand that Green's long been bitter about not getting TV gigs. He should think himself lucky he has a radio one.

Hmm. Don't think the BBC is the biggest payer for presenting talent (not that I class Green as talent). Pretty sure they don't provide stretch limos either.

Didn't know about that. A proper sound bloke was Taylor.
