BBC legend John Motson (or Mottie as he likes to be called) has been on our TV screens and radios as a football commentator since 1971.
He delivered his penultimate radio football commentary on 11th March. This forms part of his ‘farewell tour’ (FFS) before he is wheeled out for his final game in May 2018 (BBC’s FA Cup final programme).
This national treasure and BBC luvvie, described by Barbara Slater (BBC director of sport): “John Motson is a real asset to the football world and he will be sorely missed. It isn’t hard to see why he is so highly treasured, not just by the BBC but also by the nation, due to his instantly recognisable voice, wonderful sense of humour and his incredible dedication to the sport”.
Personally never thought much of or liked him as a commentator, despite the copious amounts of homework he did or the statistics fired off. Give me the raw passion of the late Brian Moore (the voice of football) from The Big Match any day of the week.
Mottie, less of a leg-end and more of an old bell-end (that’s perhaps what the OBE stands for after his name) in my humble opinion, the ultimate football anorak (or should that be smelly old sheepskin coat)
From the man that gave you:
For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are in the all-yellow strip
Northern Ireland are ten minutes away from their finest victory. There’s 15 minutes to go here.
The Czech Republic are coming from behind in more than one way now.
Owen scores and breaks Lineker’s competitive scoring record. Although this being a friendly it doesn’t actual count, so he hasn’t quite done it yet.
Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might suggest that it was.
The goals made such a difference to the way this game went.
The match has become quite unpredictable, but it still looks as though Arsenal will win the cup.
Whether that was a penalty or not, the referee thought otherwise.
It’s Arsenal 0, Everton 1, and the longer it stays like that, the more you’ve got to fancy Everton.
Probably his only decent quote in nearly half a century-The Crazy Gang have beaten the Culture Club.
After nearly 50 years on our screens and radios frankly glad to see him moving on, anyway, probably about time he was substituted for an early bath (preferably still in that stupid fucking coat).

Have always thought of him as the Lib Dem of commentators, an irrelevance. How he lasted 50 years is beyond me. For me, Martin Tyler is the master.

No! Martin Tyler is infuriating as well. That smug self satisfied smirk he does at anything and everything which isn’t remotely interesting, relevant or amusing makes me want to destroy my telly. No, sorry but Tyler needs to wall down a well.

Murray Walker, John Motson…Two senile old Cunts who should have been put in a home years ago. I suspect that they attended several Esther Rantzen/Alan Yentob parties in the Seventies and took photos which meant that they could never be sacked,no matter how doolally they became.
Cliff fucking Richard probably went too.

The over excitable cunt goes fucking crazy when some team gets a corner fo’fuxake
can’t imagine what he’d be like when he’s about to blow his load up Mrs Mottys Mot
9
Brian Moore was the best commentator and presenter, with Cloughie, Big Mal, The Doc, and Greavsie as pundits…
I remember some of the ‘gems’ from the cunt known as Motty…
‘There’s a saying in football that Liverpool are at their most dangerous when they’re behind…’
This was at the FA Cup Final 1977… Cue Pancho and Jimmy and the Scousers get beat…
‘Oh I say! That’s one of the best goals of the season! Even by Liverpool’s standards!’
Easter Monday 1988… Motty wanking over goal by dirty cunt McMahon… Big Norm comes on, takes McMahon and Whelan both out, Strachan scores late equaliser and blows cigar/v sign to the Kop….
8
Ah, Remember that match well Norman – those 2 hated one another with a fucking passion. Big Norman would make a b line for McMahon every time they met – real fucking hate. Made Keane and Viera look like handbags.
5
Fuck Keane, fuck Motto and fuck Manure.

Ah, ok my cuntish friend – and who put 10 bob in the cunt machine? You can be as much of a cunt as you like but making references to Munich makes you the cunt. Had you made that comment to me face to face you would be picking your teeth out of your gums crying for your mum. Carry on cunt.
10
Taking the piss out of any disaster is a proper cunt trick, and also extremely rich coming from that lot… There has been a lot of revisionism about their antics since that terrible day in 1989, but I remember how it was… I also recall the lovable rogues with their Munich 58 banners on show on the day of the Heysel massacre…

Where did I mention Munich? Get fucked. Sounds like you need to change your tampon darling.
14
That fucking thick you don’t even know you are taking the rise. Its always the default position of cunts like you. Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.
No Norman – it wasn’t the chippy scouse cunts – it was Chelsea fans that did all the hurling and chasing at Heysel – you never heard? Cunts like this one above ^ need fucking gelding with a hot poker.

Always ludicrously pro-Liverpool.
Boring too.
7
Sports media in general are ludicrously pro Liverpool. Even after the scum that follow the so called football club attacked the Man City bus prior to the CL game at Anfield barely a word was said by the media. By the time it gets to any sort of hearing the cunts will be claiming the coach was driven at them and they are the victims (as fucking always)
Today on TalkShite they were giving Everton a hammering for a poor display in the 0-0 draw yesterday. Well fuck me, so Everton who have their own issues are shite for getting a draw against the all conquering heroes? The German clown posse ran out of ideas yesterday?
Every club has some wanker fans but Liverpool must be breeding the cunts. When Liverpool do get served up with some justice the rest off English football gets taken down with it. So fuck Mottie, fuck the media and most of all fuck LFC the tacky festering turd farm that it is.
6
Liverpool fans sang some song about liking mudslimes cos one of their players is one – the al Beeb fucking loved that. Fucking orc-loving cunts.
7
Singing about peacefuls now?…They were probably happy that the Mcr Arena got bombed and all…
5
Had the misfortune of hearing that fucking bell end Micky Quinn on talkshite … A one sided cunt who claimed LFC fans had done no wrong… The blind cunt wants to stick to mistreating horses and not turn into the official spokesman for the city of self pity

You called it, CMC. His ‘commentary’ when Scouse Murderers FC are on is beyond biased. In fact, whenever a northern team plays a southern team, he’s consistently pro-north and anti-south. Always been this way with this cunt. Looking forward to his demise.
4
Always looked like a smirking schoolboy to me. Not sure of his cuntitude though, not when Walker’s favourite is around.
6
Tedious boring wanker who loves the sound of his own voice. Only the BBC would employ a cunt like this.
Have to agree that the late, great Brian Moore was the Daddy. I quite like Motty’s coat. I paid 300 notes for one like that in1987 and it went through about 25 winters. That ‘s what I call value for money, unlike the rip off “Made in China” shit you get today. Lineker is a fucking snide cunt.
9
50 years of commentating on a sport and he is by far the most clueless cunt you will hear give an opinion on the game. Some of his observations are laughable, and the tips he makes about upcoming games/tournaments are fucking indescribably shit. Daft cunt has probably put a tenner on Italy to win the Would Cup this year.
Seems to have made a career from being dull as fuck and a gigantic nerd cunt. Statto was a much better listen than this tepid prick, thank fuck he’s retiring.

Off topic:
A mate just suggested that I google “American inventors” and look along the top. Holy Fucking Subversion!
8
“White Couples,pictures” is worth a google too.

Göebbels and Stalin would’ve shed tears in envy.

That is fucking outrageous!
2
Classic isn’t it… case in point – George Washington Carver. Whose only attributable invention was a tuberculosis cure made from peanuts and creosote and a few wood fillers made from yams – beat that Berners-Lee and all this fucking Internet bollocks. I suppose to be fair and impartial, you could probably class Granville Woods as a proper inventor – the rest are just cook’s, crooks, perfume sellers and new age witch doctors, likely a product of early positive discrimination. Cunts one and all.
6
Googling crap Tattoos always makes me laugh. My particular favourite is is song “ it’s is my life” by the well known artist Jon Bovi. Some of the tatts are quite unbelievable.Twats….twats everywhere.
5
fucking HELL! That can’t be right.
2
Ho Lee Christ. ‘Madam C Walker’ (nee Sarah Breedlove) was an inventor because she developed a line of own-brand hair care products? I hope Google realises it’s been hacked by the NAACP.

Football, boring, don’t give a fuck…….respectfully.
9
Nowhere near as much as how much fans give a fuck whether or not you give a fuck. what is it with dullards who don’t like football feel compelled to tell everyone as if that makes them interesting.
You are not interesting because you don’t like something , you probably don’t like anything ,you have to have a brain to like things.
Your best contribution would be to shut the fuck up but you wont because it’s easier to cunt things . I void my fecal matter in your general direction.

Respectfully, I hope…

Clueless about football.
4
Got to say I like Motson, and the examples given in the cunting are merely the old cunt getting carried away with the passion and excitement that football creates. John motson the cunt is most definitely not a cunt.
2
I know naffink abaaaaht it.
2
Like I’ve said before, this cunt was most unforthcoming when I passed the time of day with him at a hotel In Manchester one time. Good manners don’t cost naffink do they. Oy!
4
As I said when managers were cunted, all you need to say is: “Football is a cunt!”
And that will cover a multitude of cuntitude.
3
Quite agree Rebel
2
Disturbing new avatar Asim… is that your eye, or some other cunt’s in particular?
3
Had to change. I made a stupid mistake with the last gravitar and was recognized…….I didn’t think I would as the picture was fucking ancient!
1
Motson is well passed his ‘sell by’ without doubt, but I’ll take Motty in front of those wet knickered females pretending they have any Knowledge or interest in football…
Women commentators, are they cunts?…
Very much so in fact Des….
6
Always absolutely hated this cunt. The banal and irrelevant string of moronic and useless comments which made up his commentary drove me nuts. Just utter crap. I can’t recall an actual example, but for those unfamiliar I’ll do a Motty impression for you:
Hoddle swings in the corner from the left and it’s headed clear by Savage. Cleared almost to the half way line. The Filbert Street crowd are really getting behind Leicester now. Filbert Street. Robbie Savage’s dad used to have a poodle called Filbert. He got it from the same breeder who trained greyhounds owned by George Best. Really is a small world.
It’s utter bollocks like this which made him famous? Give me a fucking break. Just comment on the game in front of you, you fuckwit cunt. Unfortunately because this dolt is held in high esteem in commentating circles, other cunts copy his style. Over here in Yankland, we have a MASSIVE CUNT called Arlo White commentating on the EPL on NBC Sports. His so-called commentary is the same. Just a long list of useless and irrelevant stats and anecdotes which have nothing to do with the game being played in front of him. Utter CUNT!
As others have said, in my life time Brian Moore was the best commentator, followed by Barry Davis.
3
Speaking of commentator cunts, hark at Peter Alliss at the Masters tonight. Self-important twat won about 1 tournament in his professional career and the cunt talks as if he shared a womb with Jack Nicklaus. Absolute elderly cuuurnt.
3
I love Peter Alliss.
10x better than the Sly commentators.
6
I remember Peter Allliss commentating once and remarking on an unusual grip one of the players used to hold his putter. He said ‘the last time I saw a grip like that was in the gents toilets at Kings Cross Station’. 😂Fucking genius.
6
I always remember Barry Davies at some World Cup. He was doing Holland’s first game in the tournament and, when they scored he pronounced…..
The future is bright , the future is orange
Oh please fuck off. How long have you been practicing that in front of the mirror you pathetic cunt ?

Accompanied by a nice little brown envelope under his hotel room door no doubt.
