Alan Green

Todger. Will not be missed.

I was going to say, "Cu... Can eff off." but yours gets past the swear filter far better.

When you have to be chastised by Mark Lawrenson at a Liverpool game for being too partisan, you've got some issues as a journo

Great news, the BBC are not renewing his contract and the most annoying football commentator in the world will no longer be on our airwaves

That's a wonderful piece of news. The most miserable sarcastic negative commentator there has ever been. The number of times I'veabandoned a match simply switched off the radio just to stop him talking. ...

Why is this back in the news? It was announced back in in March and he was in the papers complaining about how the BBC had shafted him and shown no respect. No time for him as a commentator, always seemed to take a "poor me" attitude talking about how bad the weather at the game was or how far he had to walk from a car park etc. I really enjoyed the times when he would say " and Smicer wins it for Liverpool... " only for an even later goal to even things up.

I'm sure I remember hearing his commentary of the non-penalty incident in the Clattenburg derby as
"Lescott is all over Carragher"
He's as biased as they come. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alan Green gets involved with Aldo's madcap schemes now he's got some free time and is still a muscular virile man.

The self centred kopite cooked his own goose and made an absolute bell of himself by his predictions that the Russia world cup a couple of years ago would be the most violent on record. He then stated to the BBC that they should not waste their time by asking him to go to commentate on games. So they didn't, sparing him the sight of one of the most peaceful tournaments and good football as well.
The BBC realised they could do without him and that suits me.
Will not be missed.

Wonder what he'll do in retirement? Maybe hang out with Aldo and castigate bitter bloos on Twitter?

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Probably end up with the rest of them at SKY or BT.

excellent, cant stand the over opinionated biff

 

[Chewbacca]

One of favourite memories of a car journey listening to him commentate on a league cup tie when Arsenal sent their U17’s to the pit and were 6-1 up with half an hour to go. You could hear the panic in his voice that it could get to double figures.

Alan Green - I could never stand him. A commentator should never allow his own personality to overshadow the thing which he is is employed to describe.

 

[Aberblue]

I've related this story before, but it bears repetition, I think.

When Liverpool were playing Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final a few years ago, he was commentating. I was driving home that day, and had forgotten all about the game. At about 5 pm I suddenly remembered the gme was on, and switched on Radio 5. The game was in injury time, and Alan Green was almost literally in tears, you could hear the despair in his voice. "Hey, Liverpool must be losing!" I thought to myself, and, sure enough, Villa were ahead, and went through, incidentally spoiling Steve Gerrard's chance to lose a cup final on his birthday.

 

[rylojr]

Needless to say, he had the last laugh.

Has his career gone off the rails a bit?

Has his career gone off the rails a bit?

Perhaps, but he's bouncing back.
