ESPN director himself was the one who told me. So yea with viewership and so many programmes, definitely that region of pay considering my director lecturer himself is paid handsomely

I want Hannah T too.

hahahahh shebby......

nevermind... i'll still support MyTeam....

He's the best in Malaysia.

At least he knows what he is talking about and is knowledgeable. Not talking rubbish like some other commentators.

Askar, he might know what he talking about but I find myself hard to agree with what he said on more than a few occasions. a couple of examples are Gerrard best position is right back and the way forward for Malaysian football is damage limitation

and he is no commentator. he's a pundit. for me by far Hasbullah Awang is the best football commentator we have

he's considered good in M'sia edi, sometimes some other commentator makes me sleepy...coz i donno what they talkin abt...haha

Hasbullah Awang is worse than him
always make mistakes
dunno player names and the current situation are his habits

ya i remember that moment on FF,he said Gerard should play right back

got flame by SM kau kau

madrealjl, i'm talking purely on the ability to commentate on any football match. bringing in the suspense into word etc. in this aspect, Hasbullah is way way better than Shebby. yeah, Habullah make some mistakes sometimes but he also will appologise when he realise that he made the mistake. let's put it this way, if there's a football match being reported thru radio, who would you rather listen commentating the match. Shebby or Hasbullah? for me there's not even a question here

as I said earlier, in my opinion Shebby is an OK pundit, but a well below average commentator

hahahah anyway... for me when it came to EPL i'll choose shebby...

but for domestic football i'll choose hasbullah awang... his voice style will make the match looks interesting even when it's not... hehhe

Hasbullah's problem is that he doesn't do any research before he commentates. Often he doesn't know names of players, which is weird because they are given a sheet of paper with players names and numbers on it. He doesn't practice pronunciating the names either. Once, I heard him commentate on a basketball game, and he actually said, "Itu dia, percubaan sepuluh markah". Other than that, he has enthusiasm but should brush up on his research.

yup Duke, I agreed on that. the research part is something he as a commentator should not has to be reminded to do before any event he going to commentate at. he even pronounce Patrick Viera as Patrick Vieri once during a CL match

well i do know that shebby allowed to do match prediction,

while guys in man utd thread cannot

Hasbullah Awang specialize in making a dull & boring 0-0 match sounds like an exciting 5-4 match

he makes players sound like world class superstars when the players couldn't even kick a ball to save their lives..

i remember he once shouted "rembatan yang cantik sekali!!!"...but in fact the shot was miles off target(not even directed at d goal) and landed in the stands

Dun lar critic him so kau kau..as least his the only Malaysian commentor able to be commenting for EPL sometimes..

Who? Shebby? What is your definition of 'able'?

and that's my friend, make him the best

u try being up there with jamie,big mac and the others and see..u boleh sampai there, i say u good?

Shebby not a good commentator, he just like to critic and he like to bias on matches. Hasbullah, is very energetic guy but his talking is baseless. He did make things sound interesting.
