There was a shit Friday night sports show on Tyne Tees which he was a guest after we were the first English club to qualify for the CL who weren't champions and he said it was a disgrace which is fair enough, should be just for champions etc but then the Liverpool sycophant he absolutely was, he said if they had to put a second English team in it should've Liverpool as they've a better European history then fat, miserable, arse licking cunt he was. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some other bloke at the bbc then too, hung around like a bad smell for decades after, he was a right cunt… Is the correct take. Davies was fucking brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only good thing to say about that cunt is he didn’t go to the World Cup in Russia.

trainman 38 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 35 minutes ago, Gemmill said: Is the correct take. Davies was fucking brilliant. Interesting, very interesting!! I liked Davies too, I recall him mentioning that it was perhaps a little unfair that a 20 year period he got one cup final while Motson got 19 (!!) Also, I rather liked his alternative (pens) idea of taking pens before extra time, with the winner of the shoot-out awarded half a goal - that way avoiding the often-wasted 30mins as both teams could not just play down the clock, and defeat would not sit so firmly on the poor sap missing a decisive pen...

trainman 38 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Also, he didn't have verbal diarrhoea (take note 'fletch') but allowed play to develop without consistent chat or stats (motson), the viewer is watching the fuckin game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only got two FA Cup finals in total. And back when they were the biggest event of the year. I preferred him to Motson anyway but I think he was much more versatile too. He could easily turn his hand to other sports yet still seem like an expert. Wasn’t it him who commentated when GB beat West Germany 3-1 to win the Olympic men’s hockey gold? Also an honourable mention to Peter Brackley of Football Italia fame. Who I always thought was excellent. He died quite young in his late 60s unfortunately a few years back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't stand Motson and his terribly shit prepared lines, rattling off boring snippets of information that he'd spent the week gathering about players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment he does, so do they.
