Worst things said during commentary

[Willhoops]

Was driving whilst one of the games was being played, had talk ****e on, and heard one of the most perplexing bits of commentary '1-0 is never a winning score line'. **** me they get paid to come up with this nonsense.

Feel free to contribute your own experiences of bull **** commentary

My dad loves quoting a classic bit of snooker commentary, "Griffiths is snookered on the brown, which, for those of you watching in black and white, is the ball directly behind the pink."

The way they cheered the Germans on against Sweden was nauseating, sucking Neymar off everytime the greedy **** moved.

Massively proved wrong by Sir Alex. Maybe Southgate can prove him wrong again.

BBC commentator: Just to remind you that the game is available in UHD on BBC iPlayer.
Lawro: I thought you were talking about milk for a minute.

Nice one Lawro.

You could tell he'd been practising that line all week

Just last summer l heard cricket commentators talking rubbish, having the nerve to accuse the Australian cricket players of ball tampering!
I tell you, we need a better standard of commentator.
It's just not cricket l say.

I was watching the opening match online and they missed the kickoff (AGAIN!) still showing ads.

One of the best is still Alan Green talking about Tony Adams getting into a mess with Seaman.

Christ, I’d give my left but to listen to Lawton commentate on the rest of the World Cup. And all of next year’s fixtures.

The standard of commentary over here is diabolical - a couple of Americans were talking about how one team ‘won’ the game by managing a draw.

Oh, and they have a South American guy commentating on some of the SA teams - with all the nauseating ‘goooooooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllllll’ nonsense as well.

Here's a few of my favourites:

"And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!" - (Pat Glenn - weightlifting commentator)
"This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother." - (Ted Walsh, horse racing commentator)
"Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew." - (Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race, 1977)
"Wales are now staring down the barrel of the wooden spoon" - (Will Greenwood)
