....and it's amazing he's one of the top ESPN color commentators given his lack of broadcasting credentials and playing experience.--Wikitoddia 16:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

and his apparent lack of knowledge of the game itself!!

:: Maybe it's because he's coloured(or lack thereof)

:: BTW... someone ougta put a picture of him.

as an irishman myself, it is completely embarrasing at this guys's lack of knowledge of the game. He's an absolute joke. played for an unnamed irish team. get a grip. ESPN need an Andy Gray full time. He's worse than the guy on Fox Soccer Channel. He's Irish too. If the powers that be at these big stations don't understand that in order for people to want to watch soccer and understand it, they need people on tv that actually know what there talking about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.221.3.22 (talk) 23:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Complete Disgrace

How ESPN, the self-professed "Worldwide Leader In Sports" can continue to allow this laughable caricature, this uninformed leprechaun, to provide color commentary for the world's most popular sport is a mystery to me. He has NEVER played the game at a professional level, he knows no more than you or I do about the game, and his accent is downright irritating. Someone needs to alert ESPN to the mockery that is made of the beautiful game when placed in the hands of Smyth and his colleague Derek "Let's Pretend I'm Scottish" Rae.
