why is this irritating little twerp on my TV / Radio everytime I want to watch / listen to some sport :evil: Hasn't his work experience at the BBC finished? Surely we deserve a fully grown up, mature and intelligent pundit who doesn't have to reduce everything down to a quip.

    I had the misfortune to listen to Colin Murray a few times on the radio and thought he was one of the most annoying people in existence. However, I thought he was actually pretty good at fronting the BBC's darts coverage - certainly enthusiastic enough, and it's only sport after all, it's not like he's been lined up to present Newsnight (and if he did, he'd still be more heavyweight than Trevor McDonald).

    Used to like him on Fighting Talk, hate his punditry on everything else. And you're from Belfast, you don't get ot refer to Liverpool as "we", especially since your love for the club has led you to live in London. Prrrrrrrrrrick!

    judging by the vast number of irishmen clutching bags of lfc megastore crap wandering bewilderedly around liverpool city centre prior to rs home games mr murray would appear to fall perfectly into the current lfc supporter demographic, therefore, his use of the term 'we' is entirely fitting.

    You left out the Norwegians... I have noted that on LFC home game days, the town centre is heaving with replica shirted out of towners looking to kill 3 hours before the buses start.

    Yes, he's got an irritating voice and has been overexposed, but that's par for the BBC these days.

    Don't get me started on Jackie Oakley, or any of the other rough-as-sandpaper Five Live bints...

    Tell me about it, here in Kerry and Munster in general I think over half of footy "fans" seem to follow Liverpool. Very few of them ever been to see em and completely oblivious to the contempt that those who support their local club have for them.

    Come on Charlton!!!
