    Carl's an international superstar, it doesn't matter where he's from.

    John McDonald at the darts today "This is the best party in the world". John doesn't get out much.

    Old McDonald is pretty good, he's got great pre-show banter at the premier league snooker asking the ugly spuds like myself to move back a few rows so we don't scare the Sky viewers... I'd love to see the bloke from the BDO Russ Bray do it. The man has a voice like a rusty cement mixer but when he shouts 180 its class...

    I think McDonald is one of the best we haver over here.

    Mark Burdis on the other hand continues to make every FW show appear amateurish with his announcing.

    He can't read two words without having to refer to his cards, it sounds like his voice is about to break at any second, and he's recently developed the effect of fading out his last word by moving the mic away from his mouth while saying it, which is laughably bad.

    plllllllleassee welcome............

    Burdis is awful. I do quite like McDonald, especially at the darts, but he does do the odd gaff. Paul aaarrgghh (smith) and forgot to say Tony Dodson mainly springs to mind, but def the best we have IMO

    John McDonald is horrendous look at me announcer riding on hearns coat tails, what really pisses me off is that you can tell by his tone who wins the fight! If its an non match room fighter he is dour and depressed and if match room fighter wins he is buzzing his tits off.

    To think he is good shows how badly anyone's standards have fallen

    I used to think Buffer was the best but now I prefer Lennon Jr. He creates more tension.
