Most fatuous footballing comment ever
We all know that football commentators are apt to want to speak when silence would suffice .... however, surely the best ever example of this came last week on Sky Sports when David Tanner, commentating as the SFA Cup 4th round draw was made said ... as Hib's were drawn out ...
‘The last time Hibernian won the Scottish Cup was in 1902 — the same year Adolf Hitler turned 13.’
What the b-hell was he thinking ? why would that be in his mind ?
Any other good examples welcome.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Not football but a cracker just then on Newsnight from paxman...

The time: Wednesday evening.
The place: BBC studio in Washington.
The programme: a Newsnight Special on Obama featuring Baroness Amos and Dizzee Rascal, both on satellite link-ups from London.
The (verbatim) question from Paxman: "Er, Mr Rascal, do you consider yourself British?"
Dizzee Rascal: "'Course I'm British man, you know me. I'm here man. What's good."

Hard hitting high-brow political commentary i'm sure you'll agree.

Agreed, though I don't think he does overblown etc. He might aspire to that, but falls a long way short.BWFC_Insane wrote:You missed the worst culprit. David Pleat.Lord Kangana wrote:Anything either Alan Green or Clive Tyldesley say is unutterable, overblown, overhyped monkey w*nk of the highest order.
Anything David Pleat says, even if he's reaching, arthritically, for hype, is delivered in that odd sort of nasal drone, like an aged mosquito on mogadon and gin cocktail.
Is it possible, you wonder to whine so slowly, so pointlessly, so boringly and still be alive and 'working'???

I dont like Pleat, i find him annoying, ignorant, boring and i'd like to swat him out of existence, but he comes nowhere near the level of hatred of the aforementioned Tyldesley and Green.Lord Kangana wrote:I quite like David Pleat.
Please don't hijack my diatribe against Satan and his little wizard (aka Grenn and Tyldesley) to have a go at such a minor character.

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Right on Tyldesley who is in pleatland central for dismal. Totally wrong, the pair of you, on Green who has well oiled bounce, ego, pomposity, arrogance of a quite unjustified order, and is, in general, engaging, to the extent that you respond to his sometimes odious and sometimes spot on opiniated errrmmmm opinions... The best there is on R5 by a long chalk.Prufrock wrote:I dont like Pleat, i find him annoying, ignorant, boring and i'd like to swat him out of existence, but he comes nowhere near the level of hatred of the aforementioned Tyldesley and Green.Lord Kangana wrote:I quite like David Pleat.

He might make you want to shout at the radio, good. Pleat and the others make you long for a root canal filling.
I can't get angry at Pleat's commentary. Gaffe prone, the occassional good point, but he's got to be there for the entertainment factor. When he makes a mess of his lines I try to get angry, but in the end I just want to go up to him, ruffle my hand through his hair and say 'oh you' in a cheeky-scamp-getting-away-with-it manner.
Also loved this last night...
Pleat: Good play by the Brazilian Pereira there...sorry, Argentinian.
Drury: Uruguyan, David.
Pleat: South American.

Typical Pleat Commentary...
"I think Cesc is a Wonderful player. So fluid, as superb passer, tremendous ability."
5 minutes later...
"I don't think Fabregas has really stamped his authority on this game. Not sure its the game for such a wonderful player as him"
At which point I want to burst my own ear drums with a cocktail stick!
