Danny Murphy the Commentator

[BigMick]

Only watched the last few minutes of the game and the first words Murphy spouted were something like, "Jordan Henderson's got fantastic energy, absolutely amazing." They were also the last words I heard as I hit the 'off' button.

Didn't mention Mo Salah once ,today

It was like listening to that fella in the boozer who gets friendly after 3 pints, and starts chatting wham

Was thinking exactly the same thing as the game went on... All this love of all things Nizhny Novgorod and Hendo…. Was half expecting him to tell his co commentator he loves him too at the end.

He would send a group of trainspotters to sleep.

ITV have been far far superior this world cup, adverts aside

To be fair, Henderson had a very effective game, and was still working well after 90 minutes in 32 degrees heat.

And to be fair, Murphy didnt mention that about any other player who played the full 90 minutes.

I dont mind him as wing man on a Talksport programme, he is no better or worse than many. But as a live co commentator, I find him dreadful.

He's just been blabbering on about a Russian rs fan ffs!!!!

Yes....he said he'd met a Russian RS over there with a YNWA tattoo and it was "surreal". I bet that was a meeting of the minds. Murphy has now reached that comfort zone in his broadcasting that he peppers his verbals with that cockney-esque "glottal stop"....leaving out "t"s. "Ees a be'urgh player than tha'..."Ees qual-i-ee. aw-rye". I think he thinks it makes him sound clever and on trend for some reason rather than just inarticulate. The squashy faced git...like a Halloween pumpkin by Bommie Night (or should that be nigh')

They have been very good. But as ever, the ads interrupt any decent interaction with the pundits, leading to a pretty bland half time/full time analysis. Tis the world though.

Even the American announcers holed up in a studio in Los Angeles at 8 in the morning mentioned Gueye plays for Everton.

He’s developed a bit of a cockney accent, and it was very noticeable at times today. Had me in mind of that Fast Show character, Julio Geordio.

Seems to be a recurring theme with a few pundits that.
