As much as I think he's a poor commentator, I kind of feel sorry for him!

A true legend. He may be getting on a bit but he is a character and brings something different to commentating.

He sure does, but it is by no means a good thing. His style of "commentary" was appaling!

Good fecking riddance. I have respect for my elders, but he's one I'd happily silence with a pair of socks and soiled underpants.
An utter, utter, utter balloon that man.

That's why Archie's not there either. Come on. Keep up.

I find you curiously arousing ... Andy Walker? Jeez, no. No ex-players, please.
Ref blows whistle & signifies a throw-in for Celtic
Tumbleweed blows by for 2 minutes
Archie (slightly bemused) : "And, I think, yes, it's a throw-in for Celtic"
EVERY FUCKIN' TIME!

I personally loved his pronounciation of Jean-Claude Darcheville, to begin with, being "Darkyveel"

Careful. One poster complained about me finding that funny when I posted it and wanted me banned for being a racist.
See if Auntie Beeb would bag Chick Young, now that would be a perfect pair.

Given that Watson is still doing his 'impersonations' of contemporary figures like McAvennie and Law you can bet that Archie will be on it for a good 25 years after he has died.

Do you happen to have a link to that priceless Darkieville moment? Or perhaps the MacNamura one?
I'm glad the blethering old fool has got the sack, his hilarious point and laugh material has long since degenerated into genuine senility.
