Commentators

Remember Olise’s famous after match interview? 🤣

And that's after his media training. Fair play to him - he's his own man and it made a change from meaningless clichés being trotted out. Or maybe he was practicing for being asked questions in German.

There was the interview with Mr Hodgson when he was manager of WBA and he got annoyed with the interviewer !

I had a brief relationship with a female commentator. No sense of humour. Being a commentator you'd have thought she'd have reacted fondly when hearing the words "They think it's all over. It is now"

Pity the poor Fulham fans after last night's game. Their team barely got a mention. And they won!

These are consecutive quotes from a page on Martin Tyler which seemed appropriate.

• "Here's the chance!"
• "There he is, that fox in that box!"
• "Good pass."
• "Excellent interception under some pressure I must say."
• "Superbly done!"

I like women so much I even married one! 🙂
Female commentators not so much!!

I married two. Not at the same time of course. I’m game for anything but not that level of masochism!

As the Pogues sang in The Gentleman Soldier -
"For married I am already and children I have three; Two wives are allowed in the army but one's too many for me".

That's why I love the 'sports' mode on my smart tv - virtually wipes out the commentary to a background mumble whilst boosting the stadium sounds.

I'm in the market for a new tv... which one do you have where 'sports mode' can be engaged - sounds wonderful!

I've got a Samsung, but I believe most TV's have this now - best to check with your retailer (and you can then see it in action for yourself). Generally, it makes the picture a lot 'brighter' - great for days like Saturday where there's deep shade, and also increases the 'stadium' sound whilst decreasing the commentary. Wouldn't watch football or rugby without it these days!

Afterthought: Have you actually tried pressing the 'sport' button on your remote?

Well not a commentator but Spayne Spooney was a pundit on MOTD2 yesterday.
My god! No wonder he couldn't motivate any of those teams he's managed! "Dull and ineloquent" would be too kind!
