Quite simple really, what do commentators regularly say that gets on your tits? Maybe it's whispering Dave's "What they don't want to do now" or something else. I'll get you started it really bugs me when they say "weaker left foot" have they got a stronger left foot too then?
 
Pretty much all of it is cliché ridden toss, but I find the way things are said - rather than what's actually being said - to be far more irritating; any time a star player touches the ball all pretence of objectivity goes out the window and the commentators voice reaches a trousers-full-of-jizz pitch. ****ing annoying.
 
‘The last thing they want to do now is concede a goal’!

I do like some commentators, but sometimes when there’s no reason to state the obvious, they do anyway.

In the MOD analysis...."they form a triangle" ...followed by three Liverpool midfielders running around with imaginary white lines linking them as if it's a preordained scientific tactic.

If you read Ralph’s interview on the other thread, it could well be a preordained tactic.

I posted a couple of years back some photos from my mates course on football coaching. It did look like something from a science lesson. My mate already has UEFA A license and is now doing even more academic study on the game. The level and detail they use is incredible today.

I don't doubt that mate, my point is that if you pick three points and draw straight lines between them even with the points being fluid they will form a triangle. To demonstate my point, this afternoon I'll tie three of my village football team together with binder twine......second thoughts, I'll wait until the girls netball season starts again.

`He`s hit the frame of the goal`. It used to be the post, or the bar in my day. Why use one word when four will do.
And `He`s on the floor` - unless its indoor football.

Watching Leeds against Arsenal last week - the first time I’ve properly watched Leeds since SKD kept them out singlehandedly - you could see that every player knew exactly what to do with and without the ball, and they always moved as a co-ordinated unit. Some coaching achievement, to get players working together like that.
