And another thing which bloody annoys me!

‘Great golf shot!’

I was never a big fan of golf in the first place, but I stopped watching it altogether a few years ago due to the American commentators employed by British TV companies using the above phrase on a regular basis.

As regards ‘football matches’, I quite like Paul Merson but get seriously irritated by his frequent use of that particular term.

Nice one, TOBW. You’ve inspired me. There’s something I’ve been meaning to get off my chest for a while now in relation to the way in which a fair percentage of people post on this board. I’ll do so soon.

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

Can I add one or two
When people talk about a top top club or
Your Everton’s, your liverpools implying there is more than one of them and screeching female clubs commentators
I’ll stop there

Minutes in the legs/minutes in the tank. Can you get minutes in a tank? In the player files do they have drawings of legs and they colour them in during pre-season like a Blue Peter fundraiser? How many minutes are in your legs?

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

I don't suggest anything, why would I?

Okay.

"It's in the net" / "It's crossed the line" / "They've scored"...
all too similar.

Complete silence it is then.

My Interpretation of what Bob was saying is that the commentators are stating the obvious by telling us it's a football match. A fair proportion of what they tell us during a game is stating the obvious in my opinion.👍

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

You like being lied to, do you?

are you sure it's not the raw sewage that gets dumped in the Ely river?

Just saw Billy "Green Street" Horschel put a semi-plugged bunker shot to 6 inches and I said "What a golf shot"!!!

My bad!
