Does this bother anyone else?
It seems to have really picked up in the last 5 years or so where the co-commentator will sit tutting and moaning throughout an entire game either because the team he likes are losing, the team he doesn’t like are winning or the team playing the team he doesn’t like are playing shit. The likes of McManaman, Hoddle, Neville and Carragher are absolutely horrendous for this.
I know he ended up being a bit of a nob head outside of the football but someone like Andy Gray was always enthusiastic and rarely, if ever, showed his allegiances during commentary. He’d be just as excited watching a game between Norwich & Coventry as he would be a big derby game.
The trend has made me not enjoy watching football on the TV as much as I used to and half the time I’m thinking STFU as soon as they open their mouths.
