It was diabolical. I had to mute the sound and just watch the VT as Offiah's painful inability to manage a single coherent sentence was just too distracting.

Worst. Summariser. Ever.

Brian Carney would make a superb replacement for Offiah who is very poor.

I'm not sure if Carney is available or not but I'd certainly have him in my sights if I were Neville Smith.

I'd also give him a regular slot on the main Commentary team, probably as a replacement for Terry O'Conner.

Another guy who is very knoweledgable is John Wells, I know he's still playing but he can't be far from the end of his career and he would make a good analyst.

I said that last week. I watched it live while Sky+'ing it then watch it back with the sound off.

Surely Sky can see how bad he is?

He was shite at summarising the world cup, so Sky have obviously completely overlooked this and kept him on.

A replacement is sorely needed, although I'm struggling to think of a London-based 'expert' with a high enough profile.


Do they really need to have high profile though? We will all watch regardless just for the trys. If anything it is worrying about the profile which is the problem, they should be looking for someone with talent rather than a name.

They must surely have a junior reporter who follows the sport and would be up to the task. Even Bobbins could have done a better job on his own.

He is Scottish now, no one will be able to understand him south of the wall.

If they can talk coherently their basis could be a pinball wizard for all I care.

It was awful. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, a few weeks to lose the rust, but he is getting worse rather than better. If this keeps up I will eventually have to actually complain directly to Sky instead of just whinging on the internet.

(Thanks, your username seems to have evolved rather nicely.)

If they pay travel and cost then I am sure everyone watching will be happy to keep you set for pies.

From my point of view, no. From that of Sky, I suspect so.

This is, of course, assuming they want to keep the 'guest in the studio' format.
