O/T:- What is it about Jermaine Jenas?

[ncfcog]

... he symbolises everything that is woke about the bbc ... young; just enough international experience to qualify; mixed colour; would never say anything too controversial so as not to upset his bbc bame/trans masters/mistresses. He's broadening his representation/experience on other shows; so likely to be in place for decades. Oh how standards have fallen ...

I reckon you’ve fallen for it hook line and sinker. Sid’s caught a whopper!

[sidders]

I don’t know what reasons others have, but I find him indescribably dull, with little to no insight into the games he’s commentating on.

In the 80s it was Wogan who was never off the telly. Now it’s Jenas. On different channels.

Hmmm, the same can be said about Bradley Walsh. FGS, give the man a rest.

... havn't fallen for anything. Just commenting what I think; and suspect many others may think but are too shy to pass similar remarks ...

[Thordardaughter]

Just mention the lad's name on here and you often get a load of derogatory posts from people who just can't stand him.
What's the problem with him - surely not just because he's ex Florist? He's a smart clean cut lad who has now launched himself on a media career. What's the rub?

Never liked him since he made a very derogatory remark about us that was supposed to be off air before one of our televised games. Salford cup tie springs to mind but not sure it was that game.

Bang on the $$$$$ IMO

He was a total prick that night at Salford lets be right.

What about all students who have got a media degree but lose out on jobs to the likes of Jenas he isnt alone but its not what you know is it.

I can't link any specific examples apart from Salford, but Jenas does seem to have a definite downer where Notts are concerned. I find him really dull because as TheBlackHorse (who I very rarely agree with) says, his career progression seems to be more down ticking all the right boxes rather than any real presenting skills. He bores the sh!t out of me.

I can't recall the Salford comments at all I was too busy looking at Moniz ' glorious coat but if I had it would be water off a ducks back. Personally I wouldn't take any comments from him, Adam Virgo et al to heart. I feel an element of the Notts fanbase are very sensitive to this kind of thing.

He's neither great nor awful to me. He's very comfortable on TV, he can finish a sentence without needlessly repeating himself (I'm looking at you Alan Shearer!) Which is a big plus. He's far less annoying that Martin (you weren't that good) Keown. He's not Davie Proven or Gary Neville but he's no Garth Crooks either (thank god).

Another average ex player that now thinks he's an expert on the game

I’m a big fan of this forum, but grown adults being mardy cos a bloke was nasty about their football team about 5 years ago is a bit crap. And we were utter shyte that night.
