    Steve McManaman makes Ronnie Whelan sound like Jacob Reece-Mogg.

    I was listening to Maura Higgins recently, she seems to speak clearer than her love island days but in fairness that Midlands accent was laid on thick in her early days.
    Bit of an english twang I thought too.

    An accent like no other

    I always think that he sounds like he's putting the accent on but is badly let down by his poor "th" pronunciation.

    Great shout. Those radio adverts she did for some appliances crowd were one of the worst things I’ve heard. They’re now gone bust.

    Exaggerated honking like a demented goose.
    Awful, awful ads, probably no wonder the company went belly up.

    Danny Healy Rae for his near unintelligible verbal

    Noooo.....listening to him commentate on the All Ireland finals, with his unique turn of phase, smatterings of Irish thrown in and clear love of the game is uniquely Irish. I love it. All Ireland's have never been the same since. It's old school & no one matches it.

    How? He's probably the most soft spoken and eloquent speakers in sports broadcasting.

    Mentioned him before but the poor old sod who does the traffic on DublinCityFM. He can’t pronounce his R’s whatsoever and it’s really grating. I know it’s not his fault but it’s difficult to listen to.

    Has to be the chronically unfunny “comedian”Joanne Mcnally.
    It’s honestly the worst accent I’ve ever heard.
    The celebs born outside the pale who put on the accent when interviewed on American/uk tv also creep me out, Saoirse Ronan and C. O’Dowd come to mind.

    Well ... yeah. McMananaman is a born and bred scouser. That’s why I said twang.

    Katie Taylor - not so much her accent as her tone. Jesus i can't listen to her for 10 seconds, it's like having nails hammered into your ear drums!


    Accent wise, possibly Mattie McGrath or one of the Healy Raes.
