The next score will be critical. I'm not saying it will be match winning, but it will be critical.

And then the overlooking at the Johnstone try....wish they would feck off

Clarke then comes out with the I fear Wakefield will fade here bs, he's a joke, the Davis non try was clear as day in touch from the side on then he starts creaming himself saying "it's a try", was it meant to be a parody of dear old Edward Waring, if so it does not become you Philip! icon_lol.gif eusa_naughty.gif

O'Connor has the phrases "that man," and "all of a sudden" on constant loop; it drives me round the feckin' twist.

They could just create a soundboard of the common phrases from each of the commentators and then they just need to employ one person to press the buttons (or even a chimp pressing them randomly)

Irony is represented below. [quote="JEAN CAPDOUZE":162hm7sy]He is not telling the truth. He is talking paranoid rubbish.[/quote:162hm7sy]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_59837.jpg



Sky dont give a crap who commentates, or who bitches about the commentating,

Just keep subscribing to the drivel you all moan about, thats all Sky care about.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Yesterday, during the Catalans-Widnes match on Sky, we heard Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif as sole commentator along with match caller William Arthur. What a breath of fresh air! Not since the days of Shaun McRae as sole commentator have I enjoyed a Sky commentary so much.

Anthony Rea was outstanding. He was cool, measured and scientific about the game and the players. No Phillip Clarke psychobabble. No Barry McDermott and Terence banalities and cliches. It was all thoughtful and insightful. Rea showed just how important it is to have an intelligent and articulate former coach as the TV analyst of a game.

If Anthony Rea was the sole commentator along with Edward Hemmings, nobody would complain about Hemmings.

Clarke, McDermott and O'Connor are the problem. Rea is the solution.'"


Have to agree with that. Quantity down, quality up; Get Rae in.

I'm not a huge fan of American football but with the scores of commentators that they employ it does stir up an interest in me and I seem to find myself understanding what they are talking about, even though I don't. I think that the university education that all the players receive now (is it from scholarships?) along with media training it really does help them charm and engage the viewer. In fact, compared to any UK Sky sports commentary they seem to keep on raising the bar.

All of a sudden O'Connor says "all of a sudden".

Eddie has been calling “40-20 attempt” when the ball is kicked on the last tackle inside the 40. Does my nutt in.
