Motty will be politely pushed aside pretty soon - the Beeb have 3 quality commentators behind him in Pearce, Mowbray and Wilson (who was Palace commentator on a season review video from the early 90s I believe).

Normally dont care about commentators, but the sheer amount of times he has called Senna...Silva, and then Silva....Villa etc is pissing me off.
Lawro aint much better either. |

Mowbray is my favourite of the beeb. Authoratitve but not in a condescending, anoraky way like Motto. Sort of like the great Brian Moore.

Every commentator so far has managed to pronounce Capdevila's name wrong.
It's Cap-de-vee-a... The amount of times they called him Cap-de-vil-ee-a tonight was ridiculous!

Motson was blithering on about Luis Aragones being known as the '1,000 game man', and then said he wont be known as that once he's retired.
Why not?

When the pictures came back, i switched the TV commentary from Motson to Radio 5. I'm no great fan of Alan Green, but i would prefer listening to commentary from Steven Hawking rather than Motson.
The only trouble was that the radio commentary was slightly ahead of the picture, so you knew what was going to happen before it actually did. I still wish they would supply a "no commentary" option.

After Turkey's second effort on the German goal John Motson said "Thats two shots now for Germany".
Perhaps he had intended to say ''Thats two shots now for Germany to get the hint/take notice of/get the warning" or something. But "Thats two shots now for Germany", made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Very strange. EDIT Just to add, the above commentary was rather like one of those "what did I come in here for?" moments. So I have started to wonder if after decades of commentating and remembering millions of statistics John Motson's memory is going. If thats the case we should have sympathy for him. I do think its time for him to retire, but I have decided not to be so angry about his mistakes and blunders as I think it might be his age or perhaps even more serious. Towards the end of his career Brian Moore used to get very confused at times. But that didn't take away from a superb lifetimes work. It's time for Motty to go, but with thanks, and perhaps the Beeb could buy him a golden car coat as a retirement gift to go with a decent pension.

Brian Moore was superb - had a real affection for Palace.

Unusual for Motson for to get the pronunciation of names wrong. I seem to remember that whenever he would mention Pele or Maradona, he had to regale us with their full, extremely long names, as if we were in the presence of some kind of deity.
I have to say that Barry Davies was for me, the worst. Whilst everyone else was happy to say Ole Gunnar 'Solsharrr', he of course, had to pronounce it 'Solshar-dah'. •••• knows why, the daft old ••••.
