    Wasn't it George Hamilton who kept claiming that Dino and Roberto Baggio were brothers during US 94?
    That alone ought to qualify him as the worst.

    Even if he didn't insist on tempting fate ("Ireland on the verge of another famous victory here in Poznan") all the time.

    John Motson has lost the plot. He's always getting his players mixed up and he's starting to show his age.

    Mark Bright = Just plain annoying.

    Jamie Redknapp is absolutely shocking. It could be Barnsley vs Crewe and he'd find a way to say "My Dad Harry" and "My cousin Frank". I really can't stand him.

    Trevor Welsh on TV3 is just a plank when it comes to football.

    I enjoy the commentary from the guy who does the K-1 on Eurosport.
    I think his name is Will Vanders.

    I quite like Mats Wilanders commentary on the tennis. I don't agree with everything that he says but if it's a good match you can really feel his enjoyment and if the match isn't so good he usually helps to keep things interesting with his conversations and comments, its just harder to change the channel if he's commentating.

    Don't like .... Mark Lawrenson (in fact `don't like` is a bit kind).

    Claire Balding. That woman has a face for the radio. Tracey Piggott purely for her plummy accent. John McCririck and his mad hand waving. Does anyone take him seriously anymore?

    Ah McCririck is class. He's grand when he's covering the horse racing but on any other show he's a pain.

    Marty Morrissey must offically be the worst in a long line of bad commentators. Anyone dare disagree?
    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    Thumbs down

    George Hamilton on anything except football. If he is commentating on rugby I switch to alternative channel & it is surprising how many others do this too. He does not understand the game.

    Bryan 'superb' Hamilton. Setanta Cup commentary has never been so bad. Everything is super in the land of Bryan.

    Lou Macari on Setanta. I get he is a Celtic supporter but does he have to mention them even when they are not playing?

    Worst pundit is Ray Houghton. Can talk at length on even the most trivial point for ages & then 30 minutes later do a complete u-turn.

    Whoever the commentator was for the Chelsea v Arsenal game yesterday has a really annoying habit of rolling his 'r's whenever possible.

    There's a radio commentator on RTE1 who drives me absolutely demented! He does the gaah matches and every time someone scores, he ALWAYS screams "The kick from (insert player's surname here) and a point for (insert player's team here)!" Jesus wept! I'm going to punch that man in the face
