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.
Bad news about the match of the day stuff  |
Give me a maverick football commentator any day of the week, it adds to the entertainment value, in my opinion. Motson has had me in stitches some times. Much better than the high pitch squeals of the newly appointed Jacqui Oatley, and the less said about Johnathan Pearce, the better.
