Who is the most annoying TV commentator

[AW111]

I vote Steve Parrish on MotoGP.

I hit the mute button as soon as I see / hear him - that voice is like fingernails down a blackboard, and the content is no better.

Mods - I dithered over GG, Biker Banter, or the lounge, but decided on GG.
By all means move this (or kill it under the "name and shame" rule)

Andy Townsend.

John Motson.

I assume you are talking about motor sport commentators?

James Allen and Jonathan Legard both failed as commentators, in my opinion - although Allen is a good motorsport reporter.

Murray Walker had his moments too - but he was endearing so his excesses and errors could be forgiven (up to a point).

I'll stick up for Legard, for the sole reason that whilst he was crap on the telly, he is/was rather good on the radio IMHO.

I haven't yet com across anyone in motorsport more annoying than Stuart Barnes and Miles Harrison on Sky's rugby coverage...

So, if he tickled your scrotebag you'd be 'annoyed'?

Vote Legard. He shouted, the public spoke, the public were heard.

I'm sure he's a nice bloke - but No!! The 'as live' commentary doesn't work, never worked and never will work.

Bring back Mark James please.....

[Eric Mc]

Are we talking commentators for all sports or just motorsport commentators?

This is the General Mototrsport forum - not "Sport" or "TV".

Oh yes, he's impossible to listen too, it always sounds as though the microphone is at the other end of an echoey corridor when he speaks shouts.
