Favourite piece of commentary.

"Nani puts a deep one into Rooney, Rooney goes inside Cole"


Cant remember who or when lots of commetary is like that in matches.

 

What about players with rude sounding names.
One of my favourites it was either John Motson or Barry Davies having trouble with the german player Kuntz.
Supposing Danny ****tu married Steve Bulls sister,She would be called Mrs Bull ****tu.
Or supposing after Princes Di divorced big ears and married Chris Rea,She would have been Di O Rea.
Even Michael Ballack caused quite a stir on occasions with headlines,''Kicked in the ballacks''.
John Toshack caused offence in Turkey,because Toshack in Turkish means bollocks.

 

No, I was a pro musician for several years. I ended up forming a glam rock themed band. We started in 1990 when there was no such thing as tribute bands or a 70s revival, which started soon after and we benefitted from. We didn't consider ourselves a tribute act though, just a rock band playing the songs the way we wanted to. There was a lot of ad libbing and acting silly. Hard not to when you're dressed head to toe in lycra. There is damning evidence on youtube but I'm not linking to it.

 

I thought the commentary was great when king eric won the fa cup in 1996 against a team parking the bus on the pitch. They knew they could only win by penalties but we were way to good for the bin dippers.

 

I always thought Motson in particular used it for comedy effect. Pronouncing it "Koontz", but dropping it into the commentary at points when you could always make the other association. Like in this classic:

I mean he definitely didn't have to make sure Kuntz was the first name he said after the two strikers were subbed...

 

Any time Clive Tyldesley shouts "HELLO" always gets me going. my favourite line is from motty "for those watching in black & white, Spurs are playing in Yellow"

As for punitry, I love Graham Taylor on Channel 5 - the guy is a ledge

 

Bozz.
I agree with that,the one he did after Gerrard made it 3-1 in Istanbul was hilarious.
It was as much to say ''Those that think this game is over,better think again,this is no ordinary club.....this is Liverpool''.

 

Listening to the commentators trying to avoid saying Kuntz when England were playing Germany in the Euros

 

David Pleat, or Pleeyay as I like to pronounce it, with his say-what-you-see pronunciations of foreign names.

The bloke who does the reserve and youth games for LFC TV (can't remember his name) has a bad habit of going "Ohhhhhhh" for a lot of goals, often followed by "What a beauty."

 

Is it not the same bloke on LFCTV that does reserve games and first team games.?Or is there a difference.?
PS.Claire Rourke is a babe.

 

He used to do first team games before John Bradley so you'll hear him in old clips.

Claire needs a haircut.

 

Never mind Claires hair,she's got an awesome body.

 

You should call in to tell her.
