Most Annoying Commentator Things

[Tubey]

Like, you know, the way Dirk Kuyt was pronounced differently depending on what day of the week it was.

Or how Tomas Rosicky was suddenly pronounced like "Rozitsky" when he joined Arsenal. Or Niall Quinn in general.

Do you have pet commentator hates?

EDEN HAZARRRRRR

I haven't listened to a commentator since about 1998.

Watch the games on mute with some music playing.

Raul Merieles

Pronounced Meralassshhh

Everything John Motson ever said made me want to kick him til he bled. Especially that irritating 'Beavis and Butthead' nervous laugh that he had.

I also hate the way they all get erect everytime a 'big name' player goes near the ball.

*ball gets rolled to Frank who miscontrols it and then lays it off to Terry "LAMPAAAARD!! HE'S EVERYWHERE"

"GERRAAAAAARD! WHAT A PASS." *as he launches yet another long ball up to that goofy lad*

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Generally just the dumb cliches they come out with all the time.

He went down easy.

He made the most of it.

He was looking for it.

He should have scored.

Alan Smith must be the most uninspiring human in the world.

 

[Groucho]

Wait for our first televised game of the year, with our new number 10.

"DELLA FAY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

He went down easy.

He made the most of it.

He was looking for it.

He should have scored.

He hit that too well.

'I've seen them given'

No you haven't. That incident has only and will only ever happen once and it wasn't given.

I have seen them given though.

I've posted this before, and it's not so much a commentary annoyance but an example of lazy punditry

Alan Hansen and his un-thought out, trite, alliterative couplets....such as

"see when ya talk aboot touch and technique..."

"if we're talking aboot power and pace..."

"now, when ya talk aboot drive and determination..."

it busts my chops ya know chums it really does

Everything about John Motson makes me want to belt him. His voice, his ears, his glasses, the bollox he chats.

Mostly though I hate how commentators refer to Gerrard and Parker as "Stevie Gerrard" and "Scotty Parker" as if they're best mates.
