Commentators' remarks that drive me crazy!

That is, four things that drive me crazy!

And joining me in the commentary box tonight is Danny Murphy .

Could be worse if it was Lee Dixon.

Crowd sound on Amazon or nothing.

Nine times out of ten he would put that chance away

"I'm joined tonight by Stephen Warnock"

Something at least that never bothers me, pundits, commentators presenters, racing or football, I see how it really winds many up though, don't get it myself, some I prefer more than others of course but nothing that induces me to foam at the mouth.

I actually like Lucy Ward

One that I find rather irritating is either from the main commentator, or co-commentator, when they state with some self-surety of being a judge 'referee's had a good game...'

This I find usually means the referee has done naff all (!), failed to make bookings when needed, and let plenty fouls go unpunished. But apparently the comms often like to state this as 'had a good game' as though they understand referee roles at all!

"Opened his body up" ("and took a shot" etc) is one I hear a lot of and I have no idea what the hell it means.

shearer got to hit the target , NO,NO,NO,No,NO
any idiot can hit the target your trying to score if that means missing the target by aiming for the corners, so be it,
longest truisim in football if you afraid of missing you wont score your fair share

"He was inches from scoring"

Replay shows it was a yard wide

36 inches is still inches.

Any time a commentator refers to the England team as 'The three lions', "And The Three Lions are through to play Mexico!"

I have never in my life heard any normal person say "Did you see the 3 lions game last night?"

VAR will take a look at it though

'Put his body on the line' to block a football being kicked towards him

He was never going to miss from there ….errr they do. See youtube.

We had a cat called bob

Its unusual for PICKFORD to make a mistake like that.
