"City still looking an equalizer... and there it is!""Jose Bloggeski has scored on his debut in both Serie A and La Liga... and now he can add the Premier League to that list!"Etc.I thought Jose Bloggeski was the character Alexei Sayle played in the young ones. Speaking of Alexei, series 3 of his Imaginary Sandwich Bar is a quality listen through BBC Sounds.

Quote from: Dogtanian on October 12, 2019, 03:54:43 PMI absolutely loathe commentating, it’s such utter drivel. Stat after meaningless stat that has no relevance to the actual outcome of the match, getting overly excited as if everything they see is amazing and has never happened before, and very little actual knowledge imparted of what’s happening in the game aside from what the viewer can actually see himself.If a game is on the radio I want a commentator to describe what’s happening in play, if I can see what’s happening on TV then I want a commentator to use his superior footballing knowledge to point out things that may not be immediately obvious, adding value. Not just stupid stats and telling now and then who just passed the ball when I’ve just seen who it was myself.You should get together with my old man and have a good rant together. His opinions on football commentators and particularly football statistics are very much like yours. Alhough I should warn you he is a nose.

Was once the flagship of all football programs- still good but the likes of jenas, Murphy, Neville drag it down a few notches.
I do know that if commentators criticize a player during the commentary of a game they can often get a call from the players agent showing their displeasure and future possible interviews curtailed.
