I laugh every time, it sums the lad up. Do they not do screen tests? I get that many of them are pointless and boring, that is largely what broadcasters want, but he can't even speak. 

In fairness, they are nearly all terrible now and it isn't really their fault. The sense of fun and joy that was in football has been entirely sucked out of the game, every pundit now talks as if they are discussing Brexit. In fact, the matters debated on BBC political shows, in the midst of a national sh*tstorm,  are done with less gravity than Garth Crooks or Mark Lawrenson discussing a handball between Fulham and Huddersfield.

First time I'd heard him since I can remember (never watch MOTD) never knew he was still going .....what a pointless ol dinosaur ......you can just picture him with his feet up waffling away nonsense ....should be on gogglebox

Jaysus Ronan O Gara, he's bad enough on the telly but on the radio his long pauses while making a point is making bad radio. Now he's on off the ball moving forward we can all look forward to spendkng time sitting in silence wishfully willing that ome of the others smacks him on the back of the head and tells him to hurry up!
His insight is good.but just so slow to get it out

 I have always enjoyed listening to him, he has a brilliantly dry sense of humour that really makes those around him uncomfortable. It really adds to the entertainment.

Paul Ince is still at it. He's all over BBC and BT. He's absolutely atrocious.They may as well just get some lad in off the street.

Still laugh at his thinking that he could have done as good a job as Solskjaer at United LOL

Listening to the Cambridge United game on local radio and the regular commentator, who is actually very good, is away. His replacement is so bad he is hilarious. I hope, like Paul Ince, he is a fan of Partridge. Some beauties from the first twenty minutes:

"That's the Findus Stand. In the land of frozen food, fish pays top dollar, doesn't it?"

"Harrison Dunk is so controlled. He passes the ball like a golfer."

"It is worth noting, after 20 minutes, that the U's know which way the goal they are scoring in is."

"You would expect the trains to run on time with a player like Danny Collins in the side; but, unlike a train, he looks like he could be done for pace."

“Grimsby town have landed one on the roof of the net. That’s ‘on the net’ not ‘back of the net’. “

He is brilliant! 
"Reggie Lambe goes down under a scything tackle. That's not the best cut of Lambe"

"George Taft gives Cambridge the lead with his hair gel. It would have been a ponytail in the old days".

"I know other products are available, but that was a L'Oreal goal. They are well worth it".

"There's a Colgate ring around that back four and Mitov is the toothbrush".

"Gary Deegan is more beard than man"'

"That's his 12th yellow card of the season, not that we are counting"

"George Maris has a one-on-one, I say one-on-one, but there is a defender present, as well as the goalkeeper. Anyway, it's a corner".

LOL

He has discussed hair gel and beards more than the football. Despite listening to the game live on radio, I have been informed of both goals by other means first.

"There was a Viking burial ground in each goalmouth at Blundell Park, which may or may not be true".

I watched the Man U match on BeiIN sports today and the commentator was on his own and he was better than 80% of the ones on Sky/BT - he was speaking Arabic so I couldn’t understand any of it but he made more sense than most of them.

He sounds fantastic! At least he doesn't speak in lazy footballese cliché like the average commentator. This is on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire I'm guessing. I'll have to give it a listen some time.
