And another thing which bloody annoys me!

Why do modern day commentators insist on putting the name of the sport they are watching into what they’re saying as in “they are making a change aimed at winning the football match”? Is there any person in the world who would start watching a sport on Tv, get really into what they were watching and then an hour later think what exactly was I watching, I wish they’d have told me?

I’ve just heard that Justin Rose played a great round of golf at the Open, what other sport would former US Open winner Justin Rose play a round of?

Your example could cover the whole commentary really. "It's a Goal" no shit Sherlock! I understand that if a person has difficulty with their vision then it may not apply.

[Alan Lung]

Managers do it as well. "The football club" is always used in interviews.

Trivial.

I like you Bob, but I hope I don't moan like you and Tony in 20/30 years.

I thought I’d made it clear that I wasn’t being entirely serious - I do find myself shouting something like “yes, I know it’s football” when I hear someone doing it though

If we’re not moaning, we’re not happy

[Dembe]

If we’re not moaning, we’re not happy

I know it's inevitable, but I was hoping I could water it down or hold it off a little longer you know?

Last time I was at the airport with my dad he moaned until we got off the plane, I nip in the pub on a Sunday to see my uncle and the older fellas and they sit there with faces like slapped arses, sometimes not a word said for what feels like minutes at a time. Theres got to be more to life? What kickstarts it?

[Trigger]

Cheers for that, can't say it's something I've really noticed but I'm now sure to.

Arseholes who think they are happy

I walked myself into that one. Well played.

Tbh I would welcome the odd reminder that we are watching football when I'm down the City.

On the flip side TOBW I’m not a fan of female commentators but Laura Davies is exceptionally good. Her reading of a lie, or shot or outcome is very accurate

Then what do you suggest the commentators should say when a goal has been scored, nothing?
... complete silence and re-begin the commentary at the restart?

I don't suggest anything, why would I?

I’d like them to shout “c*nt!” ….and then complete silence.

Kindred spirit. 😆

[the other bob wilson]

I’m watching a City podcast at the moment and, four times out of four, the host has decided not to just say “the club”, it’s been “the football club” each time

[Crisp White Lines]

I have a dear friend who absolutely rails against the tv at times: Shopping channels, sport, documentaries, comedy…
I suggested he turns it off for a few weeks and he developed such a gaunt, lost, and listless demeanour that I advised him to turn it back on and knock himself out with the vitriol.
