Grumpy Old Man

[LincsMiller]

During a phone call from my son, he asked if I was watching the England match on tv, I said Id started to watch it but switched off during the first half, my reason being that I find the commentary really irritating, there is no silence any more, do I need to be told that Dele Alli's first touch let him down?, Wilshires cross was far too deep ? Joe Hart could possibly have done better??? Im watching it for heavens sake ... then, when the main commentator stops to get his breath we have to listen to the most dull, droning , monotone Hoddle stating the bleeding obvious. Not hard to work out what my son said........

You rang?


Agree by the way, it's banal and boring

[LincsMiller]

Well, I need backing on this one Jolly

[jolly_roger]

Hoddle twaddle but be thankful it wasn't Rio Ferdinand

Have you tried turning turning the volume down & just watch the game without the experts ?

Yes they are annoying.

lol You wanna try watching the Premiership on US TV and listening to the 'announcer' saying soccer, offense, PK's, 1- zip, goal tender etc. As for Hoddle, try listening to Alexi W@nker Lalas ha ha.

Thats what I do if you turn the volume down to 2 or 3 you can hear the crowd and the comentary is a quiet mumble.You wonder where the licence money goes when its 4 in the studio 3 pitchside and 2 on the comentary.Jobs for the boys grrrr

Wallander was crap. Always tell when a series runs out of ideas - they take it on location. The thing that made Wallander compelling viewing for me was the brooding winter climate. So what do they do? Send him to South Africa with a crap script.
