Mixing with the rah rah types again has left him sounding like an Etonian toff.


The amount of times he says 'um' when speaking, if he was from Yorkshire and said 'erm' all the time he would be deemed thick.

He is crap at the pundit role.

Terrible analysis and can't string more than 3 words together.

I usually watch it while sky+ it and then watch the tries back again but this season I now do so with volume turned down. The sooner Sky get rid the better.

He's lost for something to say off the top of his head so drags up everything he can think of to make himself sound knowledgeable other than the game itself.

I think Offiah does a good job, he sounds articulate and enthusiastic about the game. I'm glad hes involved with the media now.

Don't confuse 'articulate' with 'posh accent'.

I don't know what's happenned to Martin Offiah, to be honest. When he was playing he always used to come across very well when being interviewed, or as a guest on the BBC's coverage.

He now seems nervous and wooden. I mean, Offiah wasn't a good 'technical' player, so I wouldn't have thought he would be the best person to talk tactics in any case. Would he not be better used as a presenter? On the handful of programmes he's presented, he's actually been very watchable.

I'm sick of this attitude that just because you have a northern accent you're automatically rendered in the eyes of the nation as stupid, and retarded. Jamie Peacock, Paul Sculphorpe... okay, you might have a point.

Who can forget the post-match interview after the London Broncos-Cas CC semi in 1999? :)
