Reply With QuoteDeliberate typo for an analogy with Ron Manager? Good one - same level of platitudes. I think you should forgive him the gushing. I presume he is hired by BT Sport (as he is by RedTV) to be the home commentator rather than an impartial voice.Originally Posted by Br0chred
However, I also wish he would GTF from RedTV but because of his inability to come up with anything bar the totally obvious. “Can Aberdeen get a goal back in the next few minutes and set up a thrilling finale?”; ‘’One goal is hard enough but a two goal deficit is a mountain to climb”; “If Aberdeen can get a goal blah, blah, blah”. These considerations are likely to have registered without his astute analysis even by those watching/listening nearing a brain death diagnosis (i.e. Sunday lunchtime game after Saturday night out). If there is nothing meaningful to say (and don’t fall back on the BBC Opta-supplied statistics, only 27% of the time Team A lost the first goal did they go on to win) just shut up.
There is a balance to be struck when commentating both for those with pictures and those without. Neither contingent deserves listening to absolute ****e.
