To be honest I am more concerned with the standard of the refs than the commentators
Stop saying "guy", "assist", and "gotten" then.I don't think the expats realise how much that pees people off in this country.
Was that to me or the nation in general ?Stop saying "guy", "assist", and "gotten" then.
Dave Saunders was my daughter's Maths teacher at Cullompton Comp. on Monday mornings, after a game, the conversation always got around to football and he would use the lessons to work out statistics, in fact anything, etc relating to football. It's surprising how many non football children converted to football at CC thanks to Dave Saunders maths lessons!I didn't have any real issues with Saturday's commentary, and I happen to think we (and other clubs) are very lucky at our level and below to have any commentary at all.
Dave Saunders was my favourite, shame he moved to the US. I also like our roster of usual pundits - Andrew Barge, Kirky and Pat Baldwin. Ryan Brunt was good too last season. I can't think of any I've disliked - the only time I've really hated a commentator/pundit was when we played the GAWS in a JPT (or whatever) match a few seasons back and the greens supplied some idiot who was still enjoying his 15 minutes from being on Big Brother. I believe the BBC even received complaints from their fans.
Spot on. As mentioned in the MDT, I actually quite enjoyed the ramble chats at Yeovil but they literally missed ALL the build up to City's 2nd! You could hear a cheer in the background and this was followed up by "Oh. It's a goal" (or something similar)I didn't have any real issues with Saturday's commentary, and I happen to think we (and other clubs) are very lucky at our level and below to have any commentary at all.
'Guy', 'Assist' & 'Gotten' are all in the English Oxford Dictionary.Stop saying "guy", "assist", and "gotten" then.
You should be looking in Websters, old bean. The Donald will be issuing copies world-wide fairly soon. He's a colorful character, I'm sure you'll agree?...'Guy', 'Assist' & 'Gotten' are all in the English Oxford Dictionary.
I can't find 'Favorite' though?
Our commentators regularly confuse our own players. Especially Boateng and ForteI don't care who does it as long as they are commentating on the game. For those at home who cannot see what is going on, they are relying on a timely and accurate description of the match. The commentators need to be quick thinking and be able to keep up with play, know who is who for both teams and have some relevant and interesting facts when there is a break in play.
Anything else is a waste of time.
