I watched a game on BT Sport yesterday..commentator Ian Darke and Co com. was Ally McCoist.
Like a well driven stick shift car, no screeching , no jumping, no ragged starts, all cruised along smoothly
well balanced without any of the whine or over talking the main com.
VM should take the lad on a basic course of how to co commentate from professionals like those two.
’Dont blow out the clutch pal’ would be a good title
I'd love if he did the giggly slot with the hosts on Drivetime. That'd be Bendar gold.
It's a pity Kerr doesn't actually work for RTE any more. When he was on co-commentary for the euros and world cup he used come out with some absolute gold!!
Favourite was from 2014 "He got a bang of Maxwell's elbow, not his silver hammer"
Well after 4 years it has made f*ck all difference! If you want to complain contact RTE and let them know how you feel!
How do know?
You don't like him, we get it! Banging on about it for 4 years on an internet forum isn't going to change anything!
I did. I made it.
Have you a point to make, my friend.
Points that were valid four years ago surely are still valid.
Nearly 4 years later and the same poster is still whining about Brian Kerr.
I’ll stick to watching anything where the co-commentator doesn’t drown out the actual commentator and allow me to relax and enjoy the game in peace.
I have simple tastes, my friend!
Dont ask for too much.
If only he had a nice D4 accent, eh Bren ? Maybe you should stick to watching the rugger.
C’mon my friend, the boy should never be let near a mic.
Just shut the f**k up and let us enjoy the game.
NO problems with his off air qualifications and talents but co-commentary..not a chance.
Lads Brian Kerr knows more about football than most of the other pundits put together, he knows every player in Europe so his knowledge can’t be questioned.
I get that some people don’t like his delivery or whatever but I think he’s a breath of fresh air to be honest and not overly media trained and bland like 99% of the rest
Sums up the fai that the man who won 2 European championships with Ireland underage and came third in the world ( unbelievable when you think about it ) has been shunned and not involved n youth development. He should be running the underage set up
Could anyone please shut down that baboon Kerr..
Ruining the game.
We can enjoy this game, the ‘great man ‘’is in the studio.
Lets see how the current co com does.
Hmmm… not too promising so far.
This punditry lark. Talk about money for old rope. If I had one euro for every time I have heard a pundit say anything truly insightful about the game of football I would have zero euro.
It's a proper working class Dublin accent though. I wouldn't be a fan of the modern interpretation of that at all, but Kerr has a way of speaking and using language that is extraordinary. I love when he's a pundit on Virgin or Newstalk. He has such a passion for soccer and, unlike lots of other pundits, knows the name, strengths, and weaknesses of every player, club or country he is providing commentary on.
I wish he'd do a podcast tbh. We might have reached "peak podcast" at this stage, but I'd love to hear Kerr chatting away with players, managers, journalists etc.
The best thing about proper national treasures is that they don't know they are national treasures.
I’ve always felt a lot of the anti Kerr stuff is pure snobbery, because he has a working class Dublin accent and not a D4 type voice.
aaa
Yes, way too relentless, you are correct.
I respect Kerr but he is too relentless as a co-commentator...keep him in the studio...
The boy is just not suited for co commentator….never shut up the whole first half.Melt your head.
Way way too gobby and intrusive…. Studio gives you some chance to enjoy a game.
Theres a pro english bias with Kerr thats pìssing me off....
I'm a fan of Kerr, would much rather him than Ronnie Whelan or Stephen Kelly. Can't listen to either of them. Ronnie Whelan's voice and misery goes through my head and Stephen Kelly's voice isn't much better, Kelly also seems like he can barely get a sentence out of his mouth sometimes.
Kerr: Face for radio and a voice for print
Didn't know the great man was on tonight, turning it on now
Switched the game off, couldn’t take that for 90mins
Cant understand why they let that guy co commentate.
He’s the co commentator, co commenting.
He has no influence on the game.
Turn the sound down if you’re so offended.
No it’s not, what is the commentator there for?
To learn Italian.
Hasn't shut up since the game started.
It’s literally what he’s there for!
