Too many of these tossers just talk crap about the big clubs all the time to the point where some of the w***ers like Andy Townsend seem like they are literally cheerleading for one side when playing against them.

Peter Drury grates on me.

If that means Jim Proudfoot does the big games that is great news. Think he is the best one that we hear
Likes the sound of his own voice too much.

I've changed my tune on Drury a little and actually appreciate him for proper big games. It's the not important games and moments where he generally goes over the top with that I really dislike him.

I nominate Gary Birtles as the worst co-commentator.

Andy Townsend is very good.
One of the best. His analysis is excellent.

Martin Tyler should never commentate a game on his own ever again. He can turn the best game ever into paint drying in a library.

I get no joy in saying this but Martin Tyler is sounding every bit his age.
Yeah he is awful now.

Regarding Martin Tyler, SBS should consider turning the crowd mics down a touch, turn Tyler up a bit and give him a lip mic which means Tyler won't be drowned out by the crowd.

There is not a lot of good commentators in the UK atm. The jobs go to ex footballers now. You should be thankful for Tyler. It could be worse and be Jenas or McManamamamamamamamamamamamamaman
Proudfoot and Townsend are fantastic IMO.

I don't know who they are. Steve Bower is ok. Personally I used to love listening to Jonathan Pearce. He was unbelievable on Robot Wars too haha

Proudfoot sounds good. Townsend is ok.

Yes, Proudfoot is the one I was trying to think of today, he's great.

Yeah rate him very highly, has a good sense of the occasion without going over the top like Drury.

Two polar opposites. Drury goes way too over the top with hyperbole and the love of his own voice whereas Tyler has no feel for the occasion anymore.

Nah still like Tyler. Don’t mind his understated nature, no need to holler..let the crowd make the noise. Seems to call the players accurately and his comments still interesting enough.

Don't think it's understated, I think he's catatonic.
