The 'lets load them up' kind of comments make me laugh the most - like he thinks he's actually running the show!

Good old Thommo?
Is miles ahead of that Darren guy who screeches like a banshee if a pigeon even flies away from them. Good old Thommo! And Hoiles's continued change of tone, as if he is telling us a secret that none of us but him can see! Good old Thommo! |

My pet hate phrase from any commentator is "and there's only about ten lengths from last to first here".
As if being ten lengths last is of some consolation/value/interest to anyone. Or as if a ten length deficit in a modest class race can be made up just like that come the home straight by one of the most modest horses in training. |

Anyone noticed that Shouty has started sounding a bit Churchillian mid race?
|
|
By:
he's as heavy as him as well.
|
|
By:
I would know what shouty and Darren sound like, if I didn't always mute them!
|
|
By:
I do too but some bad memories linger, don;t they.
|
|
By:
True, that's exactly why I mute them as soon as possible!

I was watching Tommo commentate on a 3 horse race a week or so ago. As they turned into the home straight, the maestro announced that "there's only a couple of lengths between the LEADING three". Thanks for that.

airtoTBF to Tommo of course it isn't just him that rankles as a commentator. I think the main point is what do they actually add when watching a race, and in many cases nothing, as your example shows! I mostly prefer to watch all races with silence, but that's my preference. |
|
By:
I watch replays in silence, but watching live its always better with a good call. Better silent than a bad one though.
|
|
By:
There are two kinds of bad callers. Those whose actual words are badly chosen, and those with an irritaing voice and intonation. Either detract significantly from the enjoyment of watching a race.
I have five that tick both those boxes and while I sometimes reluctantly tolerate without muting for four of them, one of them has no exceptions under any circumstances. |

By:
Good summary of this issue steerforth. I'd also add 'volume' as a key criteria for me, in rushing for the mute button.

By:
It's also one reason I can't stand most modern sports commentators (e.g. football), and can't even contemplate the dreaded football/sport female commentator...agghh!
