Honestly, when they feel the need to talk alllll the time. It's ok to have a quiet moment without pure dribble.

 

 

Adam Summerton on BT/TNT European games is awful for this. Really wound me up when having to listen to him during our most recent Europa matches.

Those noises Neville and Carragher make when something happens in a game. Insufferable, performative piffle.

He hit it too cleanly

Wicked deflection.

Worse thing you can hear is Leicester are losing or Leicester lost as opposed to you know what

[OnlyOneCity]

Darren Fletcher on BT Sport, NEVER shuts up!

[Bazly]

Anything Alan Smith says.

Hard to describe, but very often when a big name player shoots a commentator will shout their name with a tone of inevitability, as if *this* is the attempt that’s definitely going in, because it’s the big name player. The voice kind of drops at the end.

 

Only applies to the prem obviously.

“Let’s hope he can kick on”

 

 

[Wymsey]

'Apologies for any industrial language that you may have heard, there.'

The need to "get a result". You will always get a result, win, draw or lose.

Aye, that one gets on my tits too. Every bloody game ends with a result!

[Corky]

The forced banter about how crap a player the co-commentator was.

I’m with you on that. I notice it most with Salah.

Used to drive me mad ITV doing similar with every single pass in the final third by tiki-taka era Barca around 2008.

 

The rimming that team got was painful. And I've had some painful rimmings, just between you and me.

[Tommy Fresh]

Saved by the post or the offside flag. Also how long in to a game it takes them to mention it being Dewsbury-Halls personal mission to get us promoted.

[when_you're_smiling]

“There was contact”. No £&@! It’s a contact sport.

 

Also, I really hate the modern trend of biased co-come and pundits on supposedly neutral broadcasters.

[Nalis]

I've never got the whole idea of a goalscorer getting praise when it takes a deflection before going in.

 

Usually its followed up in co-commentary with 'yes it takes a deflection but the goalie isnt saving that' when 90% of the time it isnt going anywhere near in naturally and the only reason the goalie isnt saving it comfortably or it isnt going out of play is because its deviated massively off a defender to send the ball in an entirely different direction at the last second.

Yup. “He’s found a way through”was one I heard recently. Bollocks - he just got lucky.

This... About the inevitability of a goal from a "big" team... even applies to us this year.

The commentator is almost weary with the expectation that a goal will come.

Because I like to hear the crowd noise at matches on TV, I have to have the commentaries too. My current pet annoyances from Commentators/pundits are: calling midfield playmakers - QUARTERBACKS; some one putting over a DELICIOUS cross; OVERTIME instead of added time. This may sound petty but really grates. I’m sure there are more!

Mentioned often and since many years….

 

Brave..

 

How can any sportsman be BRAVE, in the act of participating in their chosen sport..

[onekeithweller]

Every word uttered by Hinchcliffe, especially “He’s got to do better there”. 
He seems to think that every player should have the ability of a world class footballer…..

like himself.

All the new fancy words that have crept into the game "pivot" "double pivot" etc

Ridiculous aren’t they

 

 

Add to that the ‘number 8 role’ 

Which is slowly developing into using it for anywhere on the pitch ‘number 3/5/7’

 

An absolute bucketful of nonsense 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

I hate and I mean Hate it when they say "just about" as in he just about kept it out after a clearance or "just about kept it in" when the balls kept in on the touch line. 

 

Really bugs me, the literal dictionary meaning of just about is "Nearly". So if someone "just about" keeps it out, they haven't.
