The Most Boring Personality in Football

iregk

Alan Shearer, the king of the missing personality.

I was reminded of this line by Nick Hancock on "They think it's all over" years back...

"Alan Shearer was so excited when he won the PFA Player of the year award that he immediately went home, ran into the bedroom, picked up his wife, threw her on the bed and hoovered where she was standing."

I think he (Gerard) falls in to the category of post match cliche interview. He seems to be a laugh away from football I would say.

Unless you're a dj who won't play 'his' music.:pac:

Ray Wilkins gets my vote,sounds like he should be commentating on snooker & spouts out a constant stream of cliches.

Gary Neville, try to avoid sky sports matches when he is commentating.
My idea of torture listening to him.

Sven Goran Erikson was a pundit on La Liga games a few times before and my god he was atrocious.

Hoddle offers nothing in my book either.

Not brilliant as a co-commentator but superb as a pundit,his knowledge of the game is amazing & puts the other Sky pundits in the ha'penny place.
Even die hard Liverpool fans have taken to him as an analyst.

Tony adams, Lee dixon, martin Keown. Christ they're painful,

you'd think adams with all his drinking would have an even remotely interesting anecdote from time to time but no.

Lee Dixon put your hands down while you're talking, and as for Keown he just looks miserable



oh and Niall quinn, andy townsend, jamie redknapp (till recently), Ray wilkins and lawrenson

Dennis Irwin. Decent pundit by all accounts but his delivery is dour. I wouldn't be the biggest fan of Barry Glendenning either. I listen to Football Weekly quite regularly but he'd nearly put me to sleep half the time.

Messi?

Not sure if he is the most boring but Matt Holland appears painfully dull from his numerous tv appearances & Twitter postings.

Alan Smith, the former Arsenal striker and a current BBC co-commentator, always strikes me as incredibly dull. His voice puts me to sleep.

My word. Is that what yous are calling it :pac:

Mr_Spaceman

I can't see past Mark Lawrenson.

All that money just to say pish like "they'll be disappointed with that".

Oh, and horrendous hair. You're losing it, Lawro. Get over it.

I'd love to know what Dunphy thinks of these absolute dullards.

Poor Vinny from sky sports every time a presser was on he got destroyed by him it used to make me laugh so hard .

I'd have to agree with you there. He seems more interested in slagging off players haircuts/boots while commentating than actually providing anything insightful. It'd be the definition of boring if it wasn't so annoying. I remember during an Arsenal CL game earlier in the season, his co-commentator made some comment about Mertesacker being one of the tallest players in the Champions League, to which Lawrenson replied; "Well, he's certainly not the fastest".

Was it him who kept making stupid remarks about Lopez looking like a bee or something during the United Real game?

wadacrack

has to be avram grant..when he took over chelsea the players must have taken a while to adjust to him to his way compared to mourinho

latenia

I can't recall a single instance of a footballer saying something genuinely interesting.

Sugarlumps

Crooks is the worst, followed by Macari. How did I forget Keown.

Michael Owen for the win. God he is painful, him branching out to punditry now is very very worrying. His twitter as well...awful. I follow him just to marvel at how boring one man can be.

Painfully smug as well, took Newcastle for a ride trousering millions, sat on his hole at OT for three years with convenient little recurring injury problems, gives an overall vibe of not giving a toss as well.

If someone like Gazza had 70% of his boring stability and Owen had 30% of Gazza's issues the world would be a fairer place.

Mr.Nice Guy

I would say Shearer. Outstanding footballer but offers absolutely nothing as a pundit. Alan Hansen could just do MOTD with a tape recorder sat beside him and push that when he finishes garbling on and you'd get exactly what Shearer brings to the show.

I think your confusing trolling with racist !!!

The way he acted, protecting a convicted racist was not cool

You saying Dalglish was racist?

Every manager protects his players.

s8n

How can you protect someone who has been proven to be what he was accused of ?

The T-shirt stunt was embarrassing, the subsequent interviews and media activity was even worse. You can't argue that it wasn't a big factor in his sacking either ??

Its very simple and every manager does it , HE WAS PROTECTING HIS PLAYER !

Protecting against diving / stupid sending off / handball is one thing.

Racially abusing an opponent for the colour of their skin is something entirely different

No. We are not having the racist conversation again.

When Sunderland played an exhibition match in Athlone about 4 or 5 years ago Niall Quinn did an after dinner speech and had the room in stitches for about 90 minutes.

Then post match he stood at the bar of the Sheraton and entertained anyone that wanted to have a pint and a chat into the wee hours.

Roy Keane was at the same yoke.Even the elevator wouldn't go near that boring c*nt.

Remember it well , Adams pissing in his Bed , Haughey at Italia 90 and the Teashop, The 2 Sunderland Lads who lost their false teeth , Story about meeting Keane for the 1st time since Saipan (Keanes Sunderland Job Interview), etc etc etc ,

You obviously dont know much about footballers if you think Lennon is the most boring

Ye boring accent, boring person, jsut coz he got bashed a few times and got a few death threats doesn't make him as a person interesting #monotonoustone
Damien Duff seems real boring, and Robbie Keane. TBH most footballers/football people are very boring.
interesting is someone like zlatan. came from nothing and now is arrogant that he's wealthy/got fame etc.

Idiotic, ignorant response

Lennon having a joke at a press conference, if you think he's boring then you dont know much about him

It was one of the those you needed to be there things , In any case he had the place in stiches for well over an hour , He even kept saying sorry to his son who was about 10-12 and he was not to tell his mam etc etc,,

wandatowell

Alan Smith surely!

Jason Todd

I had said Bryan Robson was the most boring, but after hearing Brian Kidd the last few days, he's definitely up there.
