During his time at QPR as a player I thought he was superb, as a manager he was bloody awful and now as a pundit he is even worse. He first comment is generally about him being a Chelsea man, then he makes a generic comment about nothing and he view is not based on knowledge or fact but on guesswork!

Just watched him on skysports commenting on the Reading v QPR game this week, he said the Olly will be desperate for more points ...Not sure we are desperate but pretty sure Olly will want more so it was either a stupid comment to make or he hasn't seen the table and remaining fixtures to make an informed comment.

Not sure why I started this thread as it has a very limited link to QPR but hey ho it might get a conversation going.

He used to have a much more involved role at sky sports, in the days before Henry and Carragher he used to be at the ground for Super Sunday games.

I guess he lives nearby the studio so they have him in every week, but you are right he always comes across like he has done no research at all.

Didn't he get banned from driving. My attitude towards him changed when the Terry case was on . No good as a manager and worse as a pundit.

to be honest I don't rate many of the current pundits on sky, bt or talksport. If they are not talking about the teams they support or have played for then they really lack a wider knowledge. The only ones that seem to have a good understanding of the sport they commentate on are the the femal presenters that are clearly prepped on the game and have the balls to say they lack knowledge wen asked about other areas outside the game they are working on.

Talksport seems to only want thugs and idiots, Joey Barton, Vinnie Jones are now regulars in the morning and neither have a real comment to make.

Henry talks crap most of the time
Pretty boy redknapp mainly for the female viewers
I quite like Gary Neville and Jamie carragher to be fair
Holloway used to be pretty good when he was on
Let's be honest there isn't a lot to talk about most of the games from the Premier league
I watched some lower league stuff at the weekend and liked tranmere v Eastleigh game,the Luton v Barnet game wasn't bad either,it's great to see end to end footie and players carrying a few pounds and a bit of grey hair
The Pompey v oxford game had over 17000 fans and they aren't even top of the table

Amazing how quick a player can drop down the leagues

I too have been impressed most by the female commentators surrey chad and you might be right in thinking that they are so good because they know they have to be in a 'man's game'. Hopefully as more and more of the England women retire there will be even more on offer. It would be interesting to see how the dynamics would work in a studio panel discussion with more women providing better information and less bias!

A very sad irony that this happens just after we mention him for the first time in a while.

Now in an induced coma, let's hope he can pull through.

To be honest when I saw his name as thread title I thought something bad had happened to him
I was glad when it was just about his pundit work
But now this has happened,hope he pulls through even if he wasn't a ex QPR player I hope he gets well
His effort when he played for us and quality of pass from midfield was something else,he was class at times
Wish ray and his family all the best and he gets well soon

I cannot believe that he was only on TV last week which prompted this thread and now he has gone. Life is too short. Rest in peace Ray, forever a QPR legend.
