The_Rev Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Stanley Victor Collymore will be doing to MotD2 work next season. I know he is a dickhead, but still, it will be nice to have a pro Villa voice on the box for a change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 With FOX having bought the rights to World Cup 2018 and 2022, and positioned an announcer with no understanding of the sport to be their number one man, the future is incredibly bleak in the US. As usual, FOX are completely tone deaf to what fans want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The Telegraph, Times, Guardian and Independent are all quality newspapers and not like the above. Guardian lost a lot of credibility with their blockbuster announcement countdown a few seasons ago and all it was that Inter MIlan might bid for Bale in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted June 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2014 Twelve years ago, the lead commentator for the World Cup on ESPN (technically, MLS (well, Phil Anschutz, really) bought the broadcast rights to the World Cup and then paid ESPN a few million dollars to get ESPN to broadcast it!) was Jack Edwards, whose main gig was presenting SportsCenter and working NHL and Little League World Series games and is now most known for being the voice of the Bruins.

islingtonclaret Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Fair enough, I remember it being the Daily Mail (understandably) THat was hilarious though. "Big club interested in good player" What a story That's odd, I thought it was the independent. They announced it on twitter iirc. Something like hold on to your hats, major major story breaking... The story was obviously something like demba ba transfer or something Chelsea related that was surprising, only clearly they got cold feet over publishing it. So they changed it to real Madrid are interested in Gareth bale. Journo fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Jonathan Pearce had a bad day at the office today, didn't he? Oh it was shocking, I was screaming at my TV, he was still going on about it 10 mins later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm already looking forward to the Football Ramble after that game. Seriously though, it was a prime example of a commentator not watching what he should be watching. He made a mass confusion out of nothing. And he seemed to be desperate to make controversy out of everything after that, maybe to distract from his obvious balls up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lets not forget the goal that never was from Mr Pearce, there were other similar gaffs as well. I actually wondered if he was drunk at one point it was that ban. I don't think in all the years I've been watching the game I've ever seen a commentator get it so horrifically wrong, I mean he just didn't get it and despite Keown's best efforts wouldn't shut up. It was bonkers stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djamfisher Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It was like Keown was baby sitting a man with the mental of an 8 year old at times last night. Do like Keown as a co-commentator, but Pearce is a clown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I felt like he was desperately trying to find something controversial after he realised he may have been talking nonsense to maybe distract from his issue It was both hilarious and frustrating though!

The_Rev Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 He seems like an affable guy, certainly when he is on fighting talk. I suspect he will take the jokes with good humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
