Look, if 'better than Motson' is your benchmark, you're setting the bar fvcking low.

Motson's continued employment by the BBC remains a mystery.

Oh god yes - I agree. He remains some sort of God to certain people though. I've never really understood the need for a commentator on footballer, though. In cricket and rugby they can educate the viewer in some of the more difficult rules. Never once has a football commentator done anything as brazen as that

Football commentators are mostly there to tell you who's got the ball and make way for the expert insight.
