bobbyss

What do .. eh ... people .. eh think of Damien... eh ... eh Duff as a ............. eh .eh .......... pundit.

Made for television !
Is there anyone worse?

zuutroy

He's excellent.

Omackeral

I think.... eh.... this should be.... eh.... in the soccer forum...




Eh.

NIMAN

I find him awful....but he's learning. Far too vague, generic, conservative.

Looks like we are stuck with him, so may get used to him.

Tom Mann Centuria

Most of the BBC athletics pundits, Jackson and Lewis two particularly worthy of ire. Carl Froch in boxing, Michael Owen in football, Paul Allott in cricket, Eddie Hobbs in economics, any of the arseholes on Sunday Politics on the BBC in politics, Tony Scott in Cillet Bang adverts in cleaning products..............

Jaysus Bobby...first a thread on Souness..now Duff...who'll be next? Jim Beglin, Eamon Dunphy?

osarusan

He's hopeless at the moment, but I think he's just not used to it or comfortable yet. Hopefully he'll grow into it.

Nabber

He's terrible.
He's just growing into it? He's at it a while now, how long is the growing going to take?
It's a job, not a pair of shoes.

"Lets face it ehhhh Dara..............It's a game of ehhhhhh two halves................and ehhhhhhh............two teams will be looking to get a result and eh..............at the end of the day ehhhhh..............they ...................."

Of only Boards had a Sports Forum of some sort.

NIMAN

Listening to him, I get the impression he prefers to have the other 2 pundits speak first, so he can agree with everything they say.

If he is asked first, he never seems comfortable in his own beliefs or analysis, as if he's just waiting for Dunphy to tell him he's wrong.

plenty.

osarusan

He shys away from saying anything particularly strong, just stays with safe, generic comments. He usually waits for the others to speak, and then he has nothing left to say except to agree with them, so doesn't contribute anything new at all.

As somebody who played at the top level like he did, with his premier league, champions league, and international experience, he should be a wealth of knowledge, but he doesn't share any of it.

Kenny Cunningham sounds like a type of industrial grinding apparatus that can't be shut off.

As Tim Vickery showed on the BBC's coverage of the World Cup in Brazil, a good football journalist is worth any number of former players with virtually nothing of interest to say.

Ok bobby, one sports thread is one thing, but this is a bit much. There are football forums here, use them.
