How did you rate Keshi's Punditry on BBC3 ?

Post by AreaDaddy »

On BBC3 the match between Cameroon and Algeria had Keshi as the co-commentator.

It was good that the BBC are using ex-African players for punditry on CAN '04. Keshi tried but I guess he will improve with a few more matches.

He isn't a prefessional broadcaster so he missed out on a few prompts and left the main commentator hanging...but it was good to hear him ...

What do you guys think?

As I watched it live on Eurosport, I gave BBC3 a miss. If I knew Keshi was on, I would have watched it.

BBC 3 showed the Cameroun Vs Algeria match 30 minutes behind the "live" match that was shown on Eurosports, switching the TV to and fro BBC3 and Eursoprts just to listen to Steve Kechi's amatuerish ad libs just didnt make sense to me.

Keshi no try at all oh! lets say he had an average broadcasting debut.

It showed that he has no experience in broadcasting. He would improve with time.

seems like he was struggling to put two sentences together just to explain that cameroon nearly scored-with an maerican drawl-very funny-Efan Ekoku was much more professional

Guys don't be silly, i have seen worse in England. I am even miffed that Keshi's performance on the microphone is a thread for scrutiny. Given the chance, some cybers will be terrible.

He wasn't very good. In fact as a former coach/manager of the Eagles I can see why our teams play so poorly if all he can say is "yes he has good technique"! No analysis of the game except "the boy looks good"

however despite those misgivings at least he was as negative as the commentators on Eurosport! I can't understand how Archie the plunker still has a job with them!

The guy wasnt great, but there is no need to attack his command of english. Archie Macpherson is a blabbering id!ot at the best of times, and Big Ron always sounds racist

I thought Ayo, Waffiman and et.al claimed that ex-players who played in Europe have far indepth knowledge of the game than Onigbindes, Amodus, Lalokos and Ericos of this world ! I guess Keshi's performance is a testimony of years of playing "with the best of the soccer world" :oops:
