| French and Davies were hilarious yesterday.
And that a penalty for offside.......No it wasnt it was for interferance at the PTB
Lets have a look to see who this came off............Err, nobody.
(Brough's early kick)...Let have a look where he kicks from. He's over the line. Surely he's over the line.....................Oh, thats the 30.

Let me clarify what I mean here - I am referring to the style of commentary, slower, well spaced out with pauses for breath and action. Yes the content from French and davies is poor, but compared to what has now become constant chattering from the Sky team with no pause for letting the game just proceed - its really doing my head in.

At the time I was thinking my lad who turns two next week could do a better job and come across more articulate then French or Davies. But after reading it, it reads more of a sports commentators sitcom than an actual (fairly) accurate of what was commentated during a live broadcast.

Don't be silly. A 60 minute game that often takes four hours to complete, where each side has three different teams that take the field at any given moment, with players who wear more protective clothing than a soldier on active service, where games are stopped because someone may fancy a fag and a "touchdown" is scored by not doing anything of the sort.
You can't be serious

I couldn't agree more! For all the faults of Davies and French the commentary from the BBC is miles better than Sky. You can watch the game without loads of distractions. Too many egos on Sky loving the sound of their own voice. Just wish there were more games on the BBC though.
