Stupid things commentators say........

Last night during the Chelsea v Barcalona game I heard the commentator say:

"Thats the best I've seen him play without the ball"!!!!

Has the game got to this level where we don't need a ball?

Any more anyone?

The one I always detest is when a little club beat a bigger club - it becomes a famous victory all of a sudden!

Really winds me up big time

 

i remember many years ago a commentator, for some reason i think of trevor brooking, saying "he hit it with his left hand foot".

 

"if it had gone either side of the post, it'd have been a goal"

sir bobby robson

 

"We didn't underestimate them,they were just better than we thought"

Sir Bobby Robson (I think)

 

Almost anything an ITV commentator says.

 

The ITV commentator who always says "dare they win it" what a stupid comment. Also "he had every right to go down"
and the constant miss use of the word "irony"

 

Yeah it was definately one of Bobby's!

 

Any commentator who uses the word 'less' when they mean 'fewer.'

 

"Eric Gates is so fast you'd have to get on a motorbike to catch the boy!"

 

match of the days always make me laugh when they go hoolyhan!

 

That's Motty

 

I think it was Peter Withe who once came out with:

"It was a GREAT LITTLE dink ball round the corner????????

How can you have a GREAT LITTLE anything?
What the **** is a DINK ball?
And how do you get a ball to round a corner?

The late great Hugh Johns used the same terminology!
"He dinked it inside the post"

 

I remember a comment in the local Leicester Mercury years ago where the locals were drubbed something like 5-0.
It was all down to the first goal and that was why they lost. Sorry ILD it wasn't a commentator but it does show how cr*p local press reporting is.
But as for commentators it must be Colemanballs and the 400m Olympics "Juantereno opens his legs and shows his true class"
and Ted Lowe "For those of you with a black and white television, the white ball is behind the yellow" and again "And how Steve Davis would have wanted a couple more inches"
You can't make this stuff up can you?

 

The bowlers Holding the batsmen's Willey!

Botham was unlucky, he couldn't quite get his leg over!

Pure class...

 

the world cup in france, david batty, newcastle midfielder, steps up to take the vital penalty. score and england are still in the tournament. miss and we're out. barry davies asks co-commentator kevin keegan, "you know david well, do you back him to score?"

'ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY, HE WON'T MISS' is the reply (or something along those lines...)













the prick missed.

 

Brian Moore was the commentator

 

apologies. couldn't really remember - i just remember shouting at the screen saying "no you idiot, you'll put the 'commentators curse' on it"!
