This time, commentators who probably wished their microphones had been turned off at the time. Here´s 20 more beauties, many of them from those great sporting institutions, Radio 5 live, and SKY Sports. Enjoy

19. " It´s now 1-1, an exact reversal of the score on Saturday (R5Live)

and my favourite:

20. "In terms of the Richter Scale this defeat was a force eight gale" (John Lyall)

 

Brilliant RBF. 19 and 20 in particular. I guess Lyall was commentating on the San Jose Earthquakes v the New Orleans Hurricanes?

 

Goodness knows robbie, but that one really did crease me up.

 

That was very amusing. Sterling work RBF.

 

They are timeless classics, I've favourited this page so I can keep going back for another chuckle!

 

"favourited"? Much more of that abuse of language and RBF will put you on his ignore list.

 

yeah hate it when people don't talk proper

 

I am devastated! I was hoping to see

Think you dropped a clanger there Thai!

 

Thai, I think I must have missed those, somewhere along my travels, they certainly weren´t part of my childhood or adolescent baggage - quite entertaining though. Intergalactic moles

 

2. "An inch or two either side of the post and that would have been a goal" (Dave Bassett, SKY)

i have a book somewhere with loads of football quotes and this particular one is accredited to sir bobby robson

 

Quite possibly Super, I can´t imagine any of them wanting to have sole copyright of any of the above, can you

 

There is a very good book by Scott Porker (I kid you not) full of these called " He literally left Ben Haim for dead there." I have it on my Kindle.

 

Sorry, that is "He's literally......."

 

Haha! That was Jamie Redknapp, was it not?

 

Yes it was, and he doesn't understand the word "literally". ....These balls now-they literally explode off your feet.

 

"He's literally turned him inside out."

"That cross to Rooney was literally on a plate."

He really doesn't, does he!?
