    Someone please kill him, he talks yet says nothing. He makes Jamie sound ordinary. The guy is such a lick-Ass he cant even breathe.

    He legitimately is the worst pundit of all time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,258 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    He is an ingratiating cnut. His voice drives me crazy. Would like to hear Gary comment on a match sometime, I think his analysis is always pretty fair and unbiased. Was surprised how much I liked him as he never struck me as much. Far better than the Jamie/Alan "Everyone is just great" shoite.

    Sounds like hes acting all the time. Not a natural at it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,994 ✭✭✭KingdomYid


    Am suprised Sky are sticking with him, he is pure dross to listen to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,312 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    Mark Lawrenson is the worst imho. Gives no insight into the game at all, just makes terrible puns. Ray Houghton is a close second, and the worst thing about Houghton is he never shuts up

    No one gets close the TV3/3e/Blood-e hells Trevor Welch.

    edit - pundit! Doh that's Lauro for whom life or at least football seems have become a chore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭symbolic


    His commentary during Man City games might be the most annoying thing I have ever endured.

    Incredible behaviour from a multi million £ corporation tbh.

    They got rid of Wilkins this season from the commentary box, but he too spent far too long in the position when he clearly wasn't suited. Everyone knew Niall Quinn was shíte from last season, so why carry on with him?

    Can't believe they don't give people trials and analyse the commentary/gauge public reception before handing out contracts.

    It's Ray Wilkins

    The bitter little man that is Ronnie Whelan has to be up there as well tbh.

    I agree, there just has to be better options out there.

    The multi million pound corporation are sticking with Jamie "literally" Redknapp too don't forget. What the hell has he ever added to the conversation? Other than tight trousers and calling people "top, top players"

    His pro City anti United bias is sickening

    Would Sky really care? Lets be honest we might all hate Quinn but I doubt a commentator is ever going to be the main reason a customer cancels their subscription. I think the problem with trials is that I'd say everyone who's starts doing it would be pretty poor at it. It's a difficult thing to learn and takes a lot of practice. They could go down the road of poaching other commentators.

    Ronnie Whelan is easily the WORST pundit of all time.

    How he gets on TV is anyone's guess.

    The man in the pub knows more about the game then he does.

    Truly shockingly bad.

    All he does is repeat what happens on the pitch in words. 'X passes to Y' etc etc....

    Never even gives a stat.

    I refuse to watch RTE football when he is commentating or giving his 'expert analysis' (pub talk).

    Don't mind Quinn to be honest. At least he tries to be positive compared to misery guts like Ray Houghton, Ronnie Whelan and Craig Burley.

    Stewart Robson.

    Agree. So so bitter.

    Quinn is also horrendous.

    When you think about it, most of them are muck. The bad ones far far outnumber the good ones.

    Agree 100%. Everyone on TV3 is crap, especially Welch and Lou Marci.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭ollie1


    Lou Marci is the worst cant stand him at all.

    Quinn has recently started a new business, you'd think he would be busy with that

    Niall Quinn is not even close to the worst commentator. These days too many people are hyperbolic about things which is the case right here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I dont get the Niall Quinn hate. I hardly notice him tbh which is a good thing.

    Lou Macari now, theres a closet bigot if ive ever heard one. The man hates foreign players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,038 ✭✭✭✭niallo27


    On the other side of things I always though Graham Taylor was excellent on channel 5 for the Europa league games.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭SirDelboy18


    Worst pundit ever in my view. Makes me want to kick the TV in with his rubbish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,229 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Stewart Robson.

    Yeah, I'm a United fan and his Arsenal/Wenger bashing even annoys me. What's that all about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    People seem to be forgetting about this phenom.

    Lou Macari. It's difficult to hate a person you have never actually met but Lou really pushes the limit.

    Robbie Savage is also ridiculously bad. Hasn't got a clue about players roles or tactics, inane comments, mindless babble and as English an outlook on football as you could possibly imagine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,695 ✭✭✭✭osarusan

    True, but Paul McGrath is not far behind. His football skills did'nt transfer over to his mouth sadly.

    niall quinn is terrible but I dislike andy townsend every bit as much! rubbish!

    Not a great pundit but taking a photo of him eating fast food reading the paper and putting it online....no need.

    Ah, makes sense now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    I personally think Quinn isn't even close to the worst.

    Some streams you do get from American coverage can be particularly bad. That Paddy Crerand that has been mentioned can be extremely infuriating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,005 ✭✭✭Carcharodon

    Agree 100%, some people are just pathetic, why anyone would want to belittle someone in this way is a sad reflection on themselves.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,427 ✭✭✭Pierce_1991


    Quinn is poor but for me Ronnie Whelan actually has the football opinions of a child. I really believe the only football he watches are the games he does commentary on. Terrible pundit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Lou Macari.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,800 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Gary Neville is easily the most annoying man on television. Everything he says makes me want to punch his lights out. Ronnie Whelan is up there as well, irritating and clueless. Lou Macari is definitely the worst. You really can tell that he is just a vile individual.
