What commentators really mean when they say..

Thought this described a lot of our team.

Presumably all the commentators have got cricked necks.

Piss off. I'm not very good at this.

I wouldn’t have guessed.

Double piss off.

 

[Shirty Blade]

It always gets to me when a player blasts the ball over the bar, when they should have scored and the commentator declares 'He hit it too well'!

 

[JJBlade]

Should have tested the keeper!!!!!!
WTF does that mean ?

Does it mean he should have smashed it directly at the goalies kite from six yards out ?

Last couple of months, a Sky commentator has described both Billy and Oli as 'no shrinking violet.'

Thank you.

The last time I met Violet I don’t remember anything shrinking !

Why do commentators say - "He just about kept it out?". If it didn't go in, he kept it out

Then you have Peter Drury who insists on saying a players full name when he shoots... "Gilchrist to Souttar, brings it forward, inside to O'Hare. Left to Hamer, flicked in to Campbell who lays it of back to KIEFFER ROBERTO FRANCISCO MOORE!!!!"

 

[designblade]

Can't remember the guys name, but the main RS commentator on our matches has a weird habit of mentioning players wiping their nose on their shirt.

He's done it a few times recently and each time I think 'that seems like an unecessary and irrelevant detail'.

Wonder if he did it when Charlie Oatway played...

What you moaning about?! It snot that big a deal

Randomly "Charlie" or "Charles" aren't in his official name.

His aunt said he'd sound a right Charlie with his name...

Flashbacks from Jose Baxter’s time at the club?

I love that, 11 given names and he goes by a 12th.

“On his weaker foot” (after blasting a shot from 10 yards out into row Z)

Here’s my take on that comment ……

How can a premier league player not be at least decent using both feet. Just stay behind in training and practice shooting consistently on either foot. Yes one will naturally be stronger but FFS you should at least get those shots on target !

 

[Keen Blade]

We have players - like any other - who could improve their weaker techniques.
I wonder if they know just how much dedication and hours of practice were put in by stars such as George Best , David Beckham & Christiano Ronaldo , to better themselves ?
We never get to hear about players staying behind to work on personal improvements but is this because it's kept confidential ?

 

[Large Mendonca]

When players are passing the ball about, why are some players referred to with only their surname, and some their full name? I would understand it if there were players on the pitch with the same surname………..

"Just lacking that little bit of quality in the final third"

Everyone up front is shite

Interesting fact I discovered today ... Nottingham was originally Snotingham. It's on YouTube, so must be right

"Credit (insert name of manager) for boldly sticking to his footballing principles" ......... there's no Plan B despite the fact they're getting their arses handed to them every week.

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Bad miss, cue "It's was easier to score"
Obviously not.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Sky’s usual stick of praising shit teams that stick to their principals.

Everything that Gary Weaver says.
