LOL. you know, that's PERFECTLY the way he talks on ESPN

IIRC he was defender
he is now working in TM as a coach/advisor for TM's football team
working in a big company like that can let you have multiple jobs/income one meh???

he supports spurs, its very obvious when spurs are mentioned, he would like us, use the term "we" to describe spurs

if he is really the son of santokh singh then, he za blings disglace to 'is name az 'e makes za complete and utter fool of himself on many recorded incidents ......................

no matter what others say, shebby still indeed the best commentator in MALAYSIA.

shebby is ok..
best commentator in malaysia though..

Obviously Shebby is not the best commentator, but he is not where he is now if he is not good. Give some credit to this guy laa, he knows what he's doing and he's not afraid of being wrong. You think its easy being a pundit....having to guess the outcome of every game and be at risk of being wrong for that?

Any good commentator can be darn right boring after a while. Problem is, there isn't many local commentator that has the right qualification/quality like Shebby. As for his very, very annoying part...that's his style for God sake. Don't take that away from him laa. Just like Karam Singh Walia, without his absurd pantun, he'll just be another reporter.

at least he's better than our great hasbollah awang la....listen to that guy and you'll begin to appreciate shebby.

both shebby n has BOLA Hawang....2 pieces of crap...has BOLA wat a pelupa punya commentator....shebby comments like he is supernova in his era....80's.....IMHO he is proven nuting.....

Shebby talk very boring....

shebby is not too good ,but is there a local commentator better than him?i doubt it..

Shebby has been improving through the years. I remember watching him the first few times and got irritated but he has been improving. The insights he gives for EPL indeed is not bad and definitely beats any Malaysian commentator...

Shebby needs to improve his grammar and stop stating the obvious. "Yes John, the world is round John". "Yes John, the grass is green John".

On countless occasions I've seen him engage in debates with McMahon and Paul Masefield, and time and time again, he seems to lose the plot. Once when McMahon asked if he's played in England, he went, "no but I've played a friendly against England". Erm no Shebby, not quite the same thing . If you look at the way Masefield, McMahon and Reeves look at one another and laugh when Shebby makes and outrageous statement, you get the feeling they're treating him like a court jester.

Hasbullah Awang is the only sports commentator who makes commentaries like he reciting a poem

HAS BOLLA HAWANG-------

Yea, sometimes that really pisses me off. Kesian Shebby kena buli. But he's alot tougher and resilient than he looks. That's why I respect that guy. He's not all talk, but he also contribute to the football community...especially Malaysia. You gotta appreciate that.

sometimes he can predit bettr than othrs.. but his english needs to b improved...btw hes doing a goodjob

if we can find someone better than him from msia .. he would have been replaced liaw la lulz ...

After reading some of the comments about shebby, it is really a shame that many of us (malaysian) tend to sit there and criticize people. Hey lets give credits to this guy. It is not easy to talk especially in front of the tv. Until now he is the only malaysian pundit out there and week by week giving some interesting comments about football. Just give this fella a chance and we juz sit back and enjoy his sometimes outrageous comments...Isnt it fun?

Should not be benchmarking him against his peers? i.e. Masefield, McMahon and crew, not some orang asli fresh out of the jungle.

To be fair Duke, Shebby seems to be the only one out of the 4 who likes to think out of the box..sure his comments at times may be daft and controversial but there are times when i can see where he's coming from but he still gets fried by the other guys. You can praise McMahon, Masefield, and Reeves but the thing is they always go with the flow and they change their opinions as quickly as the most fickle of fans. You see McMahon slagging Man Utd at the start of the season when they had their poor run of form and suddenly he's all praise for them now. Arsenal were downplayed at the start, and now it's all good.

My criticism of Shebby has always been:

a) He has a limited vocabulary - Being a commentator/pundit, your ability to speak is of the utmost importance, even before content. No point in having something really profound to say when no one understands you. Repeating the same words over and over again make you really annoying to listen to.

b) He likes stating the obvious - Don't think I need to elaborate further.

Sure he thinks out of the box, but sometimes his suggestions make his come across as an astronaut. To his credit however, he did say sometime last season that neither Sissoko nor Kuyt are Premiership material, and it would seem that he is right.

Again, I'm not judging him as a person but as a commentator/pundit.
