Commentators using the same phrases again and again

[Tom1974]

For the older Bears - Arthur Montford: "Over it comes. Up go the heads"; "What a stramash"; "Sensation". All often repeated by Arthur but I never tired of hearing them.

As a young lad the one that I always loved to hear was from David Francey on the old Scottish Home Service. "And good afternoon from Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow".

Also "up go the heads"

 

[Tom1974]

Also hate when a shot hits the bar/post or just misses both. That was a fantastic/amazing etc... shot. No it wasnt if it was any of those it would have gone in.

 

[ibroxbound]

I know it's not really relative, but Andy Gray on FIFA96 - "You can take a coin, toss it, and whatever side it lands on....that's it."

every fucking game

Another favourite of his was ,"The boy......"
when describing a player.

 

[Barbarossa]

That was an exocet from..

That was a bagatelle...

c Tom Miller

 

[SergeToTheTop]

Cricket commentary many years ago..."The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willie". Not sure if that ones not just an urban myth though.

Ha no that's true. My mothers a big cricket fan and told me about that years ago

 

[Leeonell Tidy]

Glenn Hoddle always says (insert nippy winger's/breaking midfielder's name) " the lad has pice" meaning pace. Most annoying

 

[Lets_Go]

Alan Stubbs on BT Wednesday night, ". . . they literally through him (Murty) under a bus . . . "

May have meant metaphorically?

 

[TheWhiteHackle]

Every time a player scores or gets subbed on at the 60 minute mark


“Cometh the hour, cometh the man”

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

Jamie Redknapp is a top pundit.

I understand things can become repetitive but generally he gives a good insight then brings others into the debate. It’s his job.

Hey Jamie

He’s a terrible pundit that rattles off the same cliche nonense we hear week in week out. Carragher/Neville offer a great insight and piss all over Redknapp.

 

[Kathmandu]

Woof... swept away

 

[Business_Bear]

Andy gray would always call the top players by their first name, Wayne is just incredible instead of Rooney implying he knows him and they are busom buddies. Such a sookie arse.
Crocker must be the most annoying commentator, same pish patter every game.
Atkinson would always want the ball thrown in the mixer at every opportunity.

Ray Wilkins (God Bless Him) always used first name terms for players as well, stay on your feet John, stay on your feet.

 

[TibbsyBear]

Hey Jamie

He’s a terrible pundit that rattles off the same cliche nonense we hear week in week out. Carragher/Neville offer a great insight and piss all over Redknapp.

If you read our new manager’s book you realise how knowledgeable and respected JR is in game. And the respect he had of the younger players for the help he provided them and the way he treated them compared others.

 

[Lets_Go]

Every time a player scores or gets subbed on at the 60 minute mark


“Cometh the hour, cometh the man”

Never heard that in my life.

 

[Dumfriesbear]

Under the lights for night matches when the floodlights are on even for daytime matches.

 

[speedie]

Tom Miller calling every shot hit that is hit slightly hard (most of them over the bar by about 10 yards), an exocet

 

[Calgacus]

Crocker when Graham Alexander was playing for Scotland "His dad's a big Rangers fan".

Every time ! If the game was really bad he'd mention the same fact twice !!

 

[Epsom Royal]

You tube or google Charlie Nicholas “sitting there Thinking” makes him look a bigger knob than he is

 

[Southsideblueblood]

I do miss intelligent left foot, the right being thick as feck by comparison.

 

[johnny1872]

A common phrase that has crept in is 'just about e.g. 'the keeper's just about got a hand to that' when the keeper has clearly made a save' or 'the defender has just about cleared it' when the ball has been hoofed out the park. Used so many times and so irritating, to me anyway

This........does my head in. Just about feck all, they got the bloody ball.

 

[Ever Ready]

David Coleman - one nil.

 

[Deleted member 10704]

Ha no that's true. My mothers a big cricket fan and told me about that years ago

Michael Holding, West Indian bowler, Peter Willey, England batsman.

 

[EndOfDays]

Archie MacPherson's pronunciation of darcheville.

 

[Tito]

One we will now have to suffer until the boy retires: "Not long ago he was playing amateur football in the Scottish 3rd division, now Andy Robertson is a champions league finalist"

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Ian Crocker reminding us that Papac was a Le Guen signing 50 times a game made me want to smash up my telly.

 

[Deleted member 10704]

Arthur Montford - "What a brouhaha in the goal mouth..."

 

[CD Bear]

That prat on Sky who shouts "And it's live" just before kick off does my napper in.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Every time Rangers score a goal - "Terrible defending!"

 

[El Bow]

Archie MacPherson's pronunciation of darcheville.

Mind him getting Darcheville and Ferguson muddled up (...I know) during the 07/08 European campaign and bellowing Darkesoooonnn!

 

[bobbyger]

When a keeper just about does enough to save the ball when he does if fact do enough and saves it. If he just about does enough, then he has not done enough and it would have been a goal.

 

[HillbillyRFC]

"And here is Sasa Papac, the one remaining player from Paul le Guen's ill-fated time at Ibrox..."

Was coming to post this one

Noticed at the Aberdeen game Crocker referred to Jak Alnwick as "the last signing of the Mark Warburton era" so that might be his new one
