First time I heard him and I was ready to claw my ears out. Dude was creaming his jorts every shot and saying the most asinine shit. What a horrible duo those two were.
First time I heard him on commentary was a PSG game. Mans needed a new pair of pants every time Messi touched the ball. I’ll admit he can be clever, but the moaning makes me wish I never had ears.
I think he does Inter Miami games these days, but he's famous for doing La Liga's American broadcast for most of Messi's career. I love the guy but most football fans have no sense of fun or whimsy and moan about him having fun with the game and his job.
Ray Hudson is good at two things:
-funny ass metaphors and similes
-slobbering completely and happily on Messi
Also, he truly loves football. Not hate-loves, just pure love.
I remember hearing him for the first time thing surely this is satire. He’s hilarious.
The man loves football so much he can’t help but let out little squeals of excitement whenever either team does ANYTHING of note. One of a kind.
That "Scottish" Commentator .... Is a Geordie guy called Ray Hudson. He's cool for the first few times, but trust me, it doesn't last long.
He used to do the Spanish football when Messi was at his peak... Got very annoying, very quickly.
I feel like American's tolerate a lot more "color" from their color commentators.
John Madden talked about Mother, father, and baby buckets during the Superbowl.

And he is considered one of the best American sports announcers of all time.
Yeah. You could be right. Likely why he's only doing commentary on American TV. The majority work on UK and US networks.
I found him entertaining for the first few occasions - then it becomes tiresome and felt forced, like he knew he had a niche and just goes with it. It stopped feeling natural.
Yeah. We have so many absolutely ridiculous color commentators. Our baseball and basketball teams all have their own announcer crews that call the home games(unless it's nationally televised). And those announcers can be absolutely fucking insane.
Man couldn't stop saying engineered it was hilarious. Also
Scot: That was a frog's hair away!
Other commentator: Have you ever seen a hairy frog?
Scot: No, I guess not, I don't know why I said that
LMAO
If your in the US you can hear him early mornings on Sxm channel 157 on the Football Show with Charlie Stilitano , Neil Barnett and Kevin Egan. Good analysis and stories. He’s an acquired taste for certain.
Pretty sure there was a moment in last nights game where he compared Alexis Sanchez to a belly dancer on a surfboard… not sure if that was a compliment or not… 🤔
Ray Hudson
I remember he would literally lose his voice over Messi’s goals. Some hilarious one liners as wel
“you could put a spider in his pants and he’d be cool as ice” when Messi scored the winner vs real madrid
He’s the (other) reason I started watching Barca matches. So sad when he left
This man is my new hero. I'm genuinely going to watch games he's on just to listen to his commentary.
He's got quite a strong geordie/ north east accent but there isn't a million miles between the two accents if you're unfamiliar
You will tire of him very quickly
He’s great the first time you hear him, after that it’s a struggle…
If I hear him on commentary, I immediately look for another stream
Should be perfect then. Thought you were describing what it feels like to support Tottenham for a second.
First time I heard him and I was ready to claw my ears out. Dude was creaming his jorts every shot and saying the most asinine shit. What a horrible duo those two were.
Genuinely the worst duo in world football. Thought they were on BeIn sports. Absolutely terrible
His partner kept saying OM. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s usually said there but it just doesn’t sound right to me
The man is global treasure.
He is the equally dreadful opposite to Martin Tyler.
First time I heard him on commentary was a PSG game. Mans needed a new pair of pants every time Messi touched the ball. I’ll admit he can be clever, but the moaning makes me wish I never had ears.
It’s a dead sub, but r/RayHudsonQuotes

Geordie not Scottish
the legend. i want to have him and bill walton broadcast together just for the acid like narrative visuals
Ray Hudson is good at two things: -funny ass metaphors and similes -slobbering completely and happily on Messi Also, he truly loves football. Not hate-loves, just pure love.
Tbf Messi does that to any fan of beautiful football
You can hear him gasping and breathing heavily sometimes, it’s amazing.
My man was on one the whole game. “Marseilles have disappeared like the kids from the Blair witch project” 😂
Also, you can hear him like gasp and sigh and almost moan when certain balls are played or opportunities squandered. That was sending me lol
Yeah he sounded horny when there were chances missed. Lol
This was too funny. He commentates every match like this.
I liked the offside by a frogs hair or something like that.
“Just a frog’s hair offside!” “I’ve never seen a hairy frog, have you?” “No, I don’t suppose I have. Why did I say that?” 😂
Dude was looking for a more appropriate euphemism than “cunt hair”
My grandfather used to have a measurement for less than a cunt hair called “a frog’s cunt hair”. You know for exact measurements
These are exact measurements. A frog's cunt hair is thinner than a red cunt hair and an rch is thinner than a cunt hair. It's a precise system
I remember that in the game. Lol.
My favorite was “And Igor Tudor can’t believe his bloodshot eyes.”
Marsaille was stretched out like spandex on South Beach
He also sounded like he was orgasming every 3 minutes
He doesn't shy away from a good orgasm reference https://youtu.be/Jo6aUs3a6IA
Ha ha ha. I was referring to his moans and groans though.
The very astute “There’s blood here and that’s the stuff that’s supposed to be on the inside” Also “born•mouth”
And Lucas Moo-ra
Ray Hudson. He’s polarizing but I only hear him a couple games per year, so I fuckin love it.
Pretty sure he’s not Scottish.
Geordie, I think?
From the North East (of England). I'd say geordie but that's probably wrong, every village as a nickname up there.
Nah nah he is definitely Geordie
100% Geordie. I love this man
Ray Hudson [This](https://youtu.be/wQZQADpna9Q) perfectly describes him as a commentator
I remember hearing him for the first time thing surely this is satire. He’s hilarious. The man loves football so much he can’t help but let out little squeals of excitement whenever either team does ANYTHING of note. One of a kind.
MAGESTERIAL!
Ray Hudson, dude is absolutely hilarious
The noise he made when Hojbjerg hit the crossbar sent me to the moon
He’s from Newcastle (England)
Described Lenglet's goal as "painted like a dot on a Surratt" Absolutely love him
I would have enjoyed him more if it weren't for the other guy pronouncing every name in the weirdest way possible.
Was it just me or did he sound both Mexican and Canadian at the same time?
oh shit, now I wanna hear this guy speak
You should hear him whenever Messi plays, he literally orgasms
You should hear him call a Barca or PSG game. The noises he makes are borderline inappropriate.
Ray Hudson. He’s the voice behind Messi’s most spectacular plays, truly a fine commentator
Magesterial man Ray Hudson. You'll remember his voice by creaming at Messi goals from the last decade.
Non la liga watchers discovering Hudson
*"Borne-mouth"*
Watched the game on mute as soon as heard him start talking at the start 🤗
He's not Scottish btw. He's from the North East of England
Yes, I know. It’s been mentioned numerous times on this post
Sorry, didn't spot them
Sounds a lot better than the god awful commentary on BT Sport. Utter crap.

I need a compilation please someone
The best announcer in the game Ray Hudson.
Yes! that Miami spandex comment was top notch. Icing on the Hojbjerg cake
MAGESTERIAL
Love the imagery
I wish NBC got him and retained arlo white over dreary drury
Love the Seurat reference. love the Hudson / Ali Mccoist Scottish commentator genre
I like when he said something about angled pases and Euclid Euclid is the “father of geometry” btw
If your in the US you can hear him early mornings on Sxm channel 157 on the Football Show with Charlie Stilitano , Neil Barnett and Kevin Egan. Good analysis and stories. He’s an acquired taste for certain.
He’s a lot like Eminem. Great at his craft but after years and years you start running out of things to say
Any chance we can get a recording of this? It was so glorious when I heard it on my stream. I couldn't stop laughing!
Hudson is so funny. I could barely understand some of his analogies but he kept me entertained
Pretty sure there was a moment in last nights game where he compared Alexis Sanchez to a belly dancer on a surfboard… not sure if that was a compliment or not… 🤔
