Rickie Fowler was Robbie Fowler and Marc Leishman was an American not an Aussie and he has only been on half an hour.

Definitely not, his silly ramblings help make it the event it is
Thought the comment about slow motion pictures was a cracker!
"They can slow it down so much now you can almost see them changing there mind"
"They can slow it down so much now you can almost see them changing there mind"
i find him funny, harmless soul. few crackers already, 'no win no fee' and moves like a gazelle
No he is grand, Mark James on the other hand should be barred from every sporting event, t wat
Alliss should have been retired in 2004 when he didn't realize that Mickelson won the Masters. All the great commentators knew when to go, McLaren, Maskell, Sir Peter. Sir Peter probably went on a couple of years too long.
Alliss just keeps making mistakes. He mixed up two of the Korean girls last week at the Women's Open regarding the two shot penalty. This morning when somebody said Leishman was Australian, he said "There's a Leishman in America as well" not realizing it was the same person.

The BBC always keep loyal, I remember the old guy who used to do the racing commentry, I think it was the 2000 guinees jst before he finally retired, I was driving and had a big bet on, the commentar went something like this!
And there off
As they leave the stalls is a beutiful sight with bright colours and the scenery, all twelve horses jostling for position and is the green colours just in front of the royal blue colours of one of the favourites!
And with 2 furlongs to go its the green colours of erm from the blue colours of horse 1 and then in third its horse number 4 the green colours is horse number 8 then excitedly, horse number 4 getting challenged from 8 and they sweep pass the line. LONG PAUSE And the winner is horse number 7???????

Yeah i know the guy you're talking about, think his name might have been Alan Partridge
Peter is part of golf with more wit and humour than many . Indespensible. He has forgotten more about golf than all the knockers put together would know as a unit.
Wouldn't be the same without him. You'll miss him when he's gone.
Compare him to Ewan Murray and Bruce Critchley he is different class to those two ****ers imo.
Way way past time. Commentary yesterday was close to gibberish.
You need a bit of colour ans Alliss provides it.
I hate American coverage that just shows robot 1 holing a bird, then robot 2 holing a bird, then robot 3 holing a bird.

Nope he's a legend and brings a bit of levity to proceedings.
Definitely has Dementia.
Always talking about the 60's.
No idea about what's happening now.

Nobilo seems good, he was an interesting player aswell, always thought he had a big win in him !
His commentary on the surreal events with Mr Van De Velde on the 18th is a pinnacle moment in sports commentary ....different gravy.
I didn't see that, any chance of giving me the Gist of it? Always felt for Van De Valde, a very nice man who had the putting touch of the gods, to come so close and then to be made to look foolish and have it taken away! Terrible. Nearly shed a tear when he just lost out on winning the French Open several years later in a play off, in the words of Caddyshack "There is no god"!
"Someone sit that man down and give him a brandy"
Never to be forgotten
Never to be forgotten
if he retires you will probably end up with eddie izzard aka clare balding so leave it out
I used to be very anti Alliss due to all the bumbling mistakes that he makes. However, there is a certain and different charm to him. The problem is that he is surrounded by so people like Mark James who is now rivalling Bruce Critchley for most irritating commentator. His smugness and bias knows no bounds. Everytime we saw Tiger yesterday he had a dig at him in a very unprofessional way. It culminated in James not being quick enough to say he thought Tiger would miss the putt for birdie on 18. It was all a bit pathetic.
The problem with the BBC is that they simply don't watch enough golf throughout the year like Sky do. The same applies to the cameramen who have been absolutely shocking this week.

I like him.
What I don't like is the hourly hospital and deceased role call.
I'm just slurping back a nice pernod when I hear him announce that Percy from Huntingdon has fallen down the stairs and broke his back and jack from ashridge has had his 3 rd heart attack and is no longer with us.
Bit depressing.

Can't stand ken brown whacked a ball past me a harpenden years back. No warning nothing at the time I was a 9 cap so not great but not hopeless His attitude was shocking....out my way or else!
A National treasure, let's enjoy him while he's still here.
Alliss had never heard of Jimmy Walker until this year. That shows a good knowledge of the game!
Great reply there to calling him Robbie Fowler!
A few years ago I thought the same-he should call it a day but love him and a total breath of fresh air.We will
miss him when he is gone. Ok,he gets plenty wrong but so what.Speaks his mind and we will soon have the likes of
Dan Walker and the likes of Matt Baker dominating the BBC.Can speak all day and never once say anything worth listening to.
Read and interview with him couple of years ago and it was great stuff.Off the wall comments and views and I don't mean some old fart who reads The Daily Mail.

James is ok,Torrance was patronising
James is by far the worst, awful commentator, tiger bashing constantly , should have been pulled off air years ago

Allis in great form today, he may be getting on in years and gets things wrong but still as witty as ever. It just wouldn't be the same without him
i was guest at a golf day i attended in the 80 s
he did an hour exhibition, where he chatted and showed what trevino would do
if he was there, hooks, draws, fades, slices, changing clubs and hitting it more
or less bang on
he then played a round, he shot 3 over without putting well
he did a spot of speaking at the evening dinner before handing on to
peter parfitt
a very nice chap, perhaps a tad aloof, but hey ho, you cant have it all

any chance he gets, he said yesterday Tiger's par on the 8th was very poor as it was one of the easiest holes on the course. Fact was it was the 2nd hardest hole yesterday but James couldn't resist another dig. Constantly at it, if your an english golfer your are brilliant, if that isn't working he goes on to the british golfers, the rest don't matter. T wat and his comment about ht eN Irish fighting a few years ago should have seen the bigoted c nut removed
The year Darren Clarke won it , the friday he was obviously playing well but the fighting over the parades was in full swing. His co commentator said there was big galleries supporting Darren and he quipped in with "it might stop them fighting each other for a few hours"
right .am i right in saying hes been ryder cup captain yet sandy lyle hasnt .disgusting
his abuse of Walker his utter ignorance, James, another ****, not much better.
he mistook the korean golfers at the womens golf last week, his excuse was they all looked alike.

alliss hasnt been ryder cup captain, but has played many times
ok, sorry, yes james has,
james was players rep though for a while when he played, and well liked
and despite his commentry persona is a whizz on the rules of golf
sandy was a great player, but perhaps a bit of a loner, and might not
have been an obvious pick
he and faldo had their differences and i dont know if that counted against him ?
james of course fell out with faldo too, and was a very poor captain, imo

Always found it strange that James could have been considered for captaincy after he and his chum Brown basically acted the maggott when playing on the team together one time
If i remember correctly didnt sandy blow his chances by walking off the course at the open one year?? Badly treated regardless imo

faldos a nob .lyle should have captained 1.shocking mcginley no majors james none monty none except seniors lyle 2.prob never got it cause hes not a kiss a rse
sandy was a great player and was the one who smashed down the barriers of no brits having won majors
for so many years, he did leave to play in usa and that may have counted against him too
i dont think being a great player is enough to be ryder cup captain though, if we want to win

I don't follow golf but...Do you need to remember what happened 5 mins ago to be a golf commentator?
Why didn't anyone tell Alliss that Johnson was sitting three on the green
He should not have to be told. He's watching the damn thing!
I suspect it needs another 'inky handed peasant scribe' to point it out
Agree someone should have told him Johnson's put was for bogey. Cringe worthy. The sooner the useless BBC lose the contract the better.
sick of the pro mcilroy commentary from all of them. None of them are Irish!
I've been on alliss watch today and have decided I love his poetic rumblings. But man he gets a few things wrong.
In the last half an hour I've heard:
"That is way way right....oh no its just off the fairway"
"Has it made it , has it made it, it has you know.... ooh no it didn't"
(Putt taken) "No. .....Oh it's in"
and the two most damning things
1) Rickie Fowler who was joint second putted from off the green and it rolled back to him meaning a bogey was imminent. Allis didnt even refer to it as he was blathering on about a youth tournament in Middlesborough! The guy was second in the open and he didnt even refer to the fact he was going to bogey as a result of his shot"
2) "Why dont they just hit it straight on to the green?"
"Well they like to play it out wide and fade it in"
"Really? They play a different game to me these days"
Yes Peter they do. Shut the door on your way out.
All the above was in the last half an hour. Amazing he gets paid and expensed.
Even as I've typed this: "Hello? That does not look good....oh no its OK"
"That is way way right....oh no its just off the fairway"
"Has it made it , has it made it, it has you know.... ooh no it didn't"

He's relentless!!
Referring to Tiger round. "Three bad shots cost him four shots"
These 3 bad shots cost him a bogey a double bogey and a triple bogey

Think he got rory mixed up with Swartz and anyone else in grey .
Gets a few holes mixed up to .
Hilarious bring it on.

sandy blotted his copy book by walking off in the open in bad weather coz he couldn't be arsed. As a senior player on an exemption it was very bad judgement.

Lyle was never going to get the captaincy anyway, the walk off just gave them a good excuse to bypass him. And his real crime was not inventing an injury to explain the walk off like Poulter did in the US Open or countless other pros have done on other occasions

Alliss was great back in the day when the BBC were covering quite a few tournaments.
Too many mistakes now and I thought his ramblings on a quality golfer like Jimmy Walker were unfunny and embarrassing.
Ken Brown has reinvented himself as the BBC's cheeky chappy but anyone of a certain vintage will tell you what a complete
w***** this bloke was when he was on tour.
Brown's chum Mark James was today on air wishing a couple he knew a pleasant wedding when we were at the business end of a major with Rickie running down Rory!!.
At times you could be forgiven for thinking you were listening to a really bad hospital radio broadcast such was the unprofessionalism
of all concerned bar Cotter who at least does his homework.
Production has also been shocking considering how many cameras they have at their disposal in the sky and on the ground.
I suppose most of them have come straight from Strictly and they're not used to following a golf ball through the air or more importantly getting a couple of roving cameras
into the rough with the last two or three groups to show us the lie and line into the green.Sky do this without thinking.It's basic.
Haven't seen one up close lie with yardage all week.Have had to check the exchange for the exact nature of the lie from an iphone wielding bunker raker which licence payers shouldn't have to rely on.
Message to BBC.Study camerawork from SKY and informed on course commentary from Wayne Riley.That is how you cover golf.

I find him quite endearing. A bit like Johnno when he did the cricket. One of the best lines for me ever was when Van De Velded was having his meltdown and Aliss said "I don't know about Jack Nicklaus, more like Jaque Tattie'
James I cannot stand. Useless as a presenter; equally useless as a Ryder Cup captain.
And as for women covering mens golf......PC gone mad. By all means let the ladies commentate upon the ladies golf but please not the gents. Whilst I am at it I cannot take seriously a woman talking about football.
I best depart this soapbox before I vent my spleen about technology overpowering courses.........

i like how rubbish he is. it livens things up on a dull day. besides, who else would tell us about some bloke nobody has ever heard of, who served the biscuits at some random golf club for 63 years, died the other day?
its the mans style,you can take it or leave it, me,i"ll take it
Has just called DJ Dustin Rose - ffs, how many times has he got names wrong - its really not that hard is it?
Just remind me - is it Bradley Keegan or Keegan Bradley - see, it's not that easy!!!
The dead Torrance mention count has hit 3 figures Mentions it within minutes of hitting the mic think it's hit the old buzzard hard.
Should be back on soon with the latest news from his remaining dead or decaying friends.

i feel a bit of tension between allis and frank nobilo.
frank aint a bloke you can have a laff and a joke with
In Alice's own words.........Bobby McGregor from Newquay Cornwall and Jimmy Boyle from Whitley Bay wrote to say your days have past, your commentary style is outdated and the BBC should either give up or simply copy SKY.
One of the nicest blokes iv'e ever met a real gent, may he continue for many years.
It's just going to be on the right side of the green. As it heads to toxteth
Anyone wanting him gone should be careful what they wish for - there is not another one like him standing in the wings - enjoy his delivery. enjoy his wit and forgive his little mistakes .......
today the 18th hole became a par 4 and Garcia only had a par instead of a birdie.
It could have been crucial.
I like Allis and would hate to see him disappear ... I suggest a good sexy young nurse for 2 weeks before every major.

his world golf hall of fame speech is well worth a watch
I enjoy his commentary, the odd mistake with names, scores and whatnot make me laugh rather than annoyed.
I have one word to sum up Peter Alliss, class.
Of course he's going to make mistakes, he's 83.
Of course he's going to make mistakes, he's 83.
He has talent, Cotter does not. Of course people will like Cotter and not understand.
HE's gone but not forgotten by jove, splendid.
Count me in - there is no one these days who comes close .....
