Clive Tyldesley’s last match on 09:59 - Jun 30 by Dubtractor
Same here. Terrible commentator, albeit seems a nice bloke.
Used to dread the words "and we now hand over to your commentary team, Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend".

Never liked Tyldesley much either, all far too contrived, although he’s been a bit better since he lost the main role McCoist is also a much better foil than the dreadful Townsend was.

Can I add Lee Dixon to the crap commentators list here.
He reminds me of Lawrenson with his patronising and monotone drawl. Unless England win 5-0 he’s utterly depressing and Samaritans probably dread hearing that he’s covering a game.
Lee Dixon is basically an unfunny Karl Pilkington. This thread has really highlighted just what a loss John Motson was. What I would give for him and Ally McCoist together.

Alan Green refused to visit Russia for the world cup and next time his contract with the Beeb came up, it was not renewed. I presume he's happily retired now
Tbf by the end he was increasingly a parody of himself, spent more time moaning about the commentary view or something else that had annoyed him at a game then tell you what was happening.
But at least he knew how to broadcast on radio, a skill modern commentators don't have.
As for Tyldesley, used to dislike his style of commentary, mainly as it was so biased to Man Utd, I've come to warm to him lately after he was given the push towards the exit, though I thought he was terrible last night, not that the game helped
Alan Green was a good commentator who unfortunately got too full of himself towards the end of his career & became irritating as a result.

Jonathan Pearce was brilliant when he was doing the commentary on Capital Radio during Euro 96. Especially the 4 goals against Holland. He went completely downhill when he switched to TV.
Edit - found this on You Tube. can't believe it's the same person as Mr Monotone!

Yeah that does sound very different.
I probably couldn't have even told you that was Pearce without time to work it out.
