Listening to radio Stoke. Wow. Their commentators are ridiculous! I have visions of one of them sitting in his mobility scooter squinting through his jam jar glasses with half a pork pie hanging out of his mouth wearing a nice pair of brown cords with some dubious stains, bloke must be about 90.
Stoke commentary
- Thread starter Zanzibobs
- Start date
I thought Ali had rose tinted glasses till I had the misfortune of suffering their commentary last night.
A great break away goal - They never once mentioned it was a blatant foul.
Gayles header disallowed - He never touched the ball and took the keeper out with his arm.
Constantly getting players names wrong.

Gayle had a volley, dead centre of the goal, and the commentator said about it going in the "near post area". I spent far too long trying to work out what on earth he meant.
They got Bola and Dijksteel wrong more than 50% of the time.
They thought Watmore was some teenager just starting his career.
They thought Stoke players all pointing at their hands meant they were appealing for a dive against McGree (spolier: they thought it was handball).
They got totally confused by the throw-in at the end of the first half, and just couldn't understand why it went to Boro (it came off a Stoke player, but Watmore tried to keep it in anyway so he could break away).
It was like being sat next to some know-it-all at the match who won't shut up even though he has no idea what's actually going on.

"Half a pork pie hanging out of his mouth". Did you hear the crumbs hitting the mike?
Just the same as being sat next to Ex Footy Legs then

I actually thought they were alright! I switched over about half way through the first half.
I liked the simplicity of the older gadge who would just say 'Howson passes it to McNair, who passes it to Jone, Jones runs down the right, but passes it to Dijksteel' none of the crap that Drury rattles on about before he's interrupted by an attack.

Drury is too busy trying to get some smart @rsed comment in than actually letting us know what's happening on the pitch. There's something to be said for keeping it simple.
