davy watts Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Is there a more opinionated whinger then this bloke? He shows such bias, especially against Fergie and Man Utd.I'm sure as a BBC commentator he should simply commentate and remain neutral. He sounds like a right pratt.

matthew123 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Maybe he balances out the arse licking from all the other commentators, but I agree in general he is a whinger.

davy watts Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 A commentator should simply report the facts as they are happening. So all we should hear from his mouth are statistics, phases of play, incidents, summarys and updates. He gets right up my nose when he starts pontificating on players and managers' decisions. Moan.....moan.....moan. He sounds like a poor man's Ian Paisley.

Mick Mac Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 You are a right whinger Davy! ;-)I agree, about Alan Green, he is very negative. I have asked myself many times however why he is in the job he is in and the answer comes from the commentary on key football matters.When Radio5 build up a match they play old clips and Alan Green's key ability to describe what has happened in pressure moments is key, for example the MU win over Bayern Munich to win the European Cup in injury time. I don't like the guy, but I try to be fair and R5 give him the last quarter of key games because he deilvers under pressure. Its always important to put both sides of the argument so although i don't like the guy, I feel I have worked out why Radio5 rate him so highly - next time you are on the edge of your seat, try to intelligently communicate what you are watching, then you will realise where AG's skill lies.

woofmarkthedog Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 DAVYLeave Ol' Greeny alone, anyone giving Man U a bit of stick is fine by me.Anyway Watts you're the toss*** who runs about the manor half naked trying to get a tan & pull "birds" wherever you can.Talk about pots & kettles .

Narnia Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I quite like him for his opinions. I don't want to listen to people being neutral for the sake of not upsetting anyone. Fact is he is a Liverpool fan from what I understand. I think radio commentry should be about getting across the events on the field and I much prefer someone giving an opinion than just being polite.I think AG is good at his job even if you don't like him.PS Why the BBC chose Motty over Barry Davies I will never know. Davies was a much better commentator. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8268-alan-green/#findComment-255106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy watts Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I disagree about Alan Green. You can get across the events on the pitch and be polite at the same time, as the great Barry Davies effortlessly did.

???? Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Motties just an anorak, for years he's been so far behind what's happening on the pitch too. Personally I think that almost the whole BBC main football team are well past their best now - Hansen, Lineker et al.

SeanMacGabhann Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I agree with Declan - I don't have to agree with Green or his style to at least be grateful he has his own schtickBut when it comes to studio commentators I disagree with quids only inasmuch as I never thought that lot were much cop in the first place.

Ted Max Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Dear Alan Green (and other radio commentators - but mainly Alan Green). Here is a list of things I couldn't giveafuckabout.1. The traffic on the M6.2. How close you could park your enormous arse to the ground3. If there is some small part of the field you have to crane your fat neck to see.4. If a female runner has brought you a coffee and a doughnut yet5. How cold it is where you are sitting.6. If "United are playing left to right" as you look at it7. If the man in front of you occasionally gets to his feet8. How late it will be before you get homeYours, T.

matthew123 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Lawrenson used to be a lot more critical of Liverpool, but according to my sources he told them it was to safeguard his job. So many ex-Liverpool in the national media but it's probably only Thommo on Sky who is really biased.Alan Green may have his critics, but there are also a lot of commentators who dig the knife into Liverpool at every turn such as Mark Bright, Craig Burley and Gary Linekar. I know they're all no marks but still not happy when it's so often baseless!
