Utter, utter buffoon.

Why he is continually given a platform to air his inane drivel, will remain a mystery to me forever.

A bit like eubank snr. Spends too much time trying to sound educated and thoughtful to be of any real use.

He certainly is a crook stealing a wage at the BBC.

Black and can put two words together, three at a stretch so fits the BBC profile.

Note everyone, this is not a racist comment it's merely a fact.

I would add Ray Wilkins to that list.

Jamie Redkapp talks absolute {randomletters} every time he's on TV, so I think it's bit harsh to target Ray Wilkins.

Duffer_ · Post by **Duffer_** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 6:57 pm

Plenty talk sh1t3 but Wilkins definitely deserves his place on a list of purveyors of "inane drivel...[spending] too much time trying to sound educated and thoughtful..."

I guess it's down to opinions, I think WIlkins actually talks sense. Jamie Redknapp copies what has already been said OR the obvious. Listen the next time and you'll see (or hear).

I don't have an issue with him by the way nor his skin colour, it's the BBC way I was highlighting.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:06 am

The BBC think that because he talks proper he is clever, sadly he ain't. Personally I couldn't give a toss about his opinion on Burnley or anything else.

RocketLawnChair · Post by **RocketLawnChair** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:11 am

He just comes across as a bit odd does Garth.

slw · Post by **slw** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:49 am

On sat he said we’re lucky to have Dyche as manager and Leicester would be ideal for him, didn’t think he’d be at Burnley for much longer, before Danny mills butted in and totally disagreed. The guy is irritating in the extreme.

Hendrickxz · Post by **Hendrickxz** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:27 am

Probably just me, but he reminds me of those chubby hedgehogs with the big bellies that you can buy as garden ornaments in garden centres and the like. Maybe he should go to sleep for four months of the year and keep his mush and gobshite opinion off the telly! Pricklist certainly!

50 shades of Grey · Post by **50 shades of Grey** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 12:26 pm

He's total baffoon, but then, a BBC pundit, he's in good company. He has zero interest/ knowledge of Burnley and that suits me just fine.

Can you image him a a Manager ? scary thought.

KeighleyClaret · Post by **KeighleyClaret** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 1:02 pm

I deliberately never watch anything he is on as he's a complete moron.

This is possibly my favourite Garth Crooks anecdote

I was speaking to my uncle Ben on Saturday and said that Aaron Ramsey was almost certain to be the unanimous choice for footballer of the year. He took the glass of champagne out of my hand and said: 'You mean Wayne Rooney, don't you?' I told him that he had made a very good point and promptly went home.

He's also come out with things such as:

"Brazil are playing a 4-2-1-3-1"

"I don’t know what an impact player does"

I had the misfortune of listening to Butch on Talksport's Arsenal Spurs game today on the way over. He is so verbose. Everything is prefixed with "I have to say". The unnecessary word count was off the charts and his pronunciation of Llorente alone is enough to confirm his Crooks like status.

By contrast Joey, who did the Man U Newcastle game, was choc full of insight and opinion. Sure he misuses the odd word (eg pedantic instead of pedestrian) but he at least has something other than the blatantly obvious to say.
