Can't wait for the first time a cameraman runs onto the pitch, clatters someone and causes a serious injury.

Fucking weird.

I will never understand that if I live to be 100.

I'll never top Bristol City at home under Saunders. We somehow won. Absolutely abysmal stuff. The only game I've ever watched where both teams deserved to lose.

Was already borderline frothing at the mouth coming home, log on to the PC and he's lauding it as if we've beaten Real Madrid in the Bernabeu.

I think the roar of anger is still echoing around the Earth somewhere.

Millwall at home under Solbakken is the worst for me.

I'll allow it if they clatter into that prick Arteta when he's doing his Riverdance impression down the touchline.

Interviews with substituted players while the game is still in progress? Instead of commentating?
This is much easier in American sports where the game stops every few seconds, but if they are still playing I want them to say what is actually happening on the pitch, not hear that such and such player is obviously disappointed to have been taken off but the gaffer knows best.

Agreed. It'll just be a distraction from the game. There are enough cutaways to random shit during a match already.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The one that makes me seethe is going picture in picture while a game's going on to show Liverpool's team bus arriving at the ground.

Stop it, stop it now.

 

[Sniffer]

The commentators bigging up the next game and the million matches they are showing next season before having to interject into the advertising to comment on actual play is one of my many bugbears.
Radio football commentators frequently forgetting that the listeners can’t see the action and go rambling on with inane bollocks is another. The amount of times the balls in the net and you haven’t a clue who is attacking is staggering.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh I can't do radio commentary for football any more.

George 'low and hard, over the bar' Andrews talking about the ball going spinning away 50 times a game ended it.

 

[ROVERT47]

Never had a problem with 5live.

I did, Alan fucking Green.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I did, Alan fucking Green.

Yeah he was grumpy bastard. Seemed like he hated his job.

On TV Lawrenson was like that, and Dixon is too.

The new breed of enthusiastic co comms are great IMO, McCoist and Hart for example.

Really enjoyed Hart on the U21 stuff, his keeper comments have been interesting and refreshing.

Ain’t been around for years.

I had to listen to the Palace away game on the Wolves app as I was working late, that was absolutely brutal. Burrows was bad enough but Thompson... Hasn't got a fucking clue.

Well you said never...

Radio commentary is a relic, I'm surprised it's still limping on. If it's that or nothing then I choose nothing.

For people working or driving during a game it's still a big deal! That's a significant part of the population at any given time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's an entirely joyless experience. Personally I'd rather wait until I can watch it later, the world won't end if I don't hear about Jean-Ricner Bellegarde passing the ball straight out of play in real time.

 

[Mel Evo]

I think radio commentary is really variable, and that’s only within 5 Live as it’s all I listen to. Conor McNamara is good, and I quite like John Murray too. There is lots of rubbish though. So many commentators seem to forget they are there to do just that and instead take the opportunity to give us 100 minutes of their own thoughts, or permanently reframe the context, rather than tell us what is happening.

Often you only notice how little description of the game takes place if you’re really invested in it. It can amount to about 5 or 6 times within 45 minutes. You wonder if the producers ever ask them to listen back to their work and say ‘imagine you want to know what is happening but can’t see the pitch. Have you done a good job’? The ratio of football coverage to ability to cover it seems out of line, but it can’t be that hard a job FFS.

It’s easier here but it still sucks fucking shit here. I fucking hate those.
