And that's just one of the numerous mistakes he makes during matches, that along with pointing the bleeding obvious out all the time, his useless facts he comes out with and constantly missing key moments in the game i find it hard to understand how he's still the BBC's number one. I just thank god David Pleat is on ITV because if those two were put together i would have to avoid every match they commentate on together, Mark Lawernson, although himself not that great, makes it slightly more bareable listening to Motson.

Actually, the BBC have a little bit of a habit of employing commentators who get things wrong, but at least Murray Walker was entertaining (if not always correct). Motty doesn't have that.
I personally thought the Turkey/Germany game was far better when the BBC lost vision and BBC one switched to the BBC Five Live coverage of the game.
