    There's a female analyst on rte, she's a Dub. Answers every question asked of her with "Listen..." .
    It does my head in. We ARE listening. That's why you're s itting there. So we can listen to you. Assuming we've not gone to make a cup of tea!
    The explanation could be that a broad Dublin accent is really, really hard to listen to and she's used to folk wandering off.

    Emmm, just in case you've forgotten, you're living with a Dub....if I can get over you dropping every word of three letters or less from a sentence, you can get over a fecking Dub accent! :)

    It smacks of self-importance, demanding that the listener who is already listening listens (try saying that after a few guinnesses* :D).

    *'guinnesses' or 'guiny'?

    And as an iFollow watcher of most away games I would say they are usually on the opposite side to where the camera is, at away games I mean

    Wilder was obsessed with that - he managed to get “the football club” into every other sentence

    My argument being mainly related to audio commentary, but also if you have paid for I follow video, you definitely know which team Barnsley is.
    If it's audio it's meaningless, because you can't see.

    Of much more use would be:
    "Barnsley kicking towards the Ponty End." Then we can all visualise it.

    Recently had an on-going dispute with BT - spoke to a number of their agents in different parts of the country - usually ended up having a heated discussion - then I was put through to 'Clodagh in Dublin' ( I always make a note of the name of the person I'm speaking to!) Anyway she had the softest gentlest voice and took the wind out of my sails completely - I almost gave in on my argument!
    (Next person I spoke to was a rough Geordie - more at ease with him!)

    moving on - sometimes hear it about a footballer giving 110% or 150% - these %'s used in other contexts as well - you can't give more than a 100% - or can you ??
