Me, not him.... Just who is this sweaty, fat, little ******? A football commentator? Whoopee fck!! What an absolute arsehole. A football commentator trying to influence what constitutes a penalty? And a Leeds fans blatantly biased towards Chelsea? That doesn't make sense? Call a match as you see it you corrupt little lovely person! Who's paying you off then ? In Rubels probably, you bent get! The Beeb got heir fingers burnt 8-9 seasons back, talking up dull games to hoodwink fans and influence ratings. Hansen & the mob bending over for the quid. Not again you dirty slags, we're onto you! Barry Davies tells it as it is, when they're not gagging him. I'm an advocate of accessible sports coverage and this just shits on all the efforts people make. Writing a fcking letter tomorrow.
Please excuse my potty language. I think I made my point, and have since recovered my sedate and reposed, natural self. grrrrr....
Oh Hemsie flower, we fought hard to save your generation from stuff like this. It's all our fault, I can only apologise. If you think football is good now, you should have seen it then! Excuse me, I have to go for a little cry....
Why does this post have five yellow stars in the inbox? Is it in bother for being honest and moderately abusive? Oh dear. It really shouldn't post itself when drunk.
Oh right, probably was a penalty but I hate commentators like Pierce trying to re-write the rule book. They are not paid to have an opinion, just to call the match as it happens. I object to that when I am trying to watch a game, save it for another time - his crappy column in the Sun or whatever crappy paper employs him.
I vivdly remember Barry Davies having to fill the gap for the Beeb as the Heysel Stadium riot was unfolding. What a job he did. Recounting with sadness the demise of the game he loved while recounting happier times when opposing fans could stand side by side in the same enclosures. I'll never forget that bit of presenting. Brian Moore was another out and out enthusiast, if not quite having the same analytical skills as Davies. Stuart Hall was/is just something else! A massively entertaining commentator/pundit who came from the same angle as the late great Sid Waddell. Never missed the chance to throw in a grandiose metaphor or a classical allusion! I think Martin Tyler's about the best we've got now - thank goodness he's more polished than in his early days with Yorkshire TV... "CLAAAARRK!!!!"
Glad it's not just me then mute telly when he's on - thick opiniated twerp that suffers from thinking that he's smarter than he actually is. Cretin.
No, my observations were very accurate but I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed by that little tirade. I've had a bad week and Pierce was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Squeeeeeellll piggy!!!!
"sweaty, fat, little ******", "Whoopee fck!!" and calling Hansen a "dirty slag" were my personal favourite bits. All accurate, like you say.
