    Football Commentary

    Is anyone else finding sport commentary, especially football, filled with completely unnecessary facts and gibberish?
    It seems like they are afraid to pause and take a breath, I've taken to watching the Women's World Cup with the volume off . I much preferred the Wolstenholme approach, maybe its because the majority of viewers have never been to a live match and need every single pass and throw-in analysed . is their a red button where you can switch off the culprits and just leave the crowd noise ?

    Well, there's a place at NYS where you can even switch off the crowd noise. It's called the Family Stand

    I was watching a bit of the England game the other night when the comms said to the co comms that she wasn't saying enough and he even said that she'd not shut up all day!

    I find it's got better since Motson packed in, he just babbled facts and the only time he got animated in England games was when the opposition were attacking.

    Motty is a living legend and a National Treasure. Leave him alone
