Good thing we can agree on something. I'm in Australia right now and everyone (except Bosnich ) despises VAR. Its like I said a few months ago, people will support it now but it will get to a point where everyone will realize how vile it actually is.

It's the least of your worries when England has the absolute worst pundits and commentators when it comes to cliched platitudes and colour commentary. 'Sublime finish from a magificent player, take a bow you little magician, you've earned your contract'. - every commentator of the last twenty years.

Not trying to defend Teso but the cringeworthy part comes from how bothered the Brits get from those terms. Grow the fuck up guys. They speak differently.

Guest Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Anyways on terms for best CB's, I think it goes to Pique at least for now. Bonucci and Godin have both declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the commentary on Arabic streams is genuinely much better and at least equally insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Premier League commentators do generally overhype and sensationalise absolutely everything. It doesn’t seem to happen with English commentary of European Football and that is more enjoyable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 For me a bigger problem in Premier League commentary are the amount of times commentators fall silent when they shouldn't and talk shit when they should be silent. Tonight for example Kante burst forward towards Arsenal's box and laid someone off to shoot, there was no commentary of the entire move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio commentary is always more exciting than tv commentary in my opinion. Definietly in Spain where they get so passionate that they even swear every now and then! But a radio commentator doesn’t always fit the bill on tv like what happened with Jonathan Pearce who was my commentary idol when a was a teenager on radio. On tv he’s dour!

Radio commentary without tv footage is absolutely piss poor and borderline pointless. The likes of 5live can't get the basics right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting because when we were going through the midlands once on the way back from an away game we had your local radio commentary on of your game, it was a thousand times better quality than BBC Newcastle commentary.

To be fair I haven't listened to a game of ours on the radio for years, I'm over-egging it somewhat but they used to be pretty bad. You can normally always get a stream now if you're not there so it's not really something I generally bother with. I find listening on the radio agonising to be honest, more than watching a game anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find listening on the radio agonising to be honest, more than watching a game anyway. Oh but that's the best thing about it! Now I don't have a season ticket because I'm a shit fan and only go to a handful of games a year, I find local commercial radio coverage a guilty pleasure. The not knowing what the fuck is going on, the hyperbolic metaphors, the breaks in signal when someone walks past my front door - it's marvellous bliss. And the misery from Tower FM's commentary team is something to behold - Lord knows they try to be positive, but when you're having to freeze your tits off watching dire shite for a pittance, it's difficult. I love it, because I am truly a glutton for punishment. Local radio and muted Final Score beats the wank atmosphere at 80 percent of home games in any case.

Spike Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Spanish football is more competitive than English football. It just doesn't look that way to outsiders looking in because they don't use the goal difference in deciding table positions so, when a team goes down 3-0, it is exactly the same as 8-0. Why waste effort on a loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
