Have you ever considered a career in football commentary?

 

[LongsightM13]

Well David Conn gets lots published in the Guardian.

And Simon Hattenstone. Self-loathing blues

One of them must be Frank on here.

I think that’s Colin Shindler, another one of that particularly weird club

Awful commentary today Sky should be ashamed having that old senile bastard Tyler as the best they have. Glad I don’t give any money to them to pay his salary. Mentioned the Ricky Villa goal after 5 minutes!! That that was 40 years ago Tyler you cnut

I watched the game with my City mad missus & was driving her nuts with my moaning about the commentary. I thought it was incredibly spurs focused. At nil, nil, they seemed to be just going on & on about what if spurs score? how might spurs score, the longer it goes on spurs might score etc etc etc. Between that & the comments about the ESL, which came across as more anti City then spurs, it drove me fooking mental.
Why do commentators feel the need to constantly editorialise throughout games instead of just describing what is happening?

Anyway, Congratulations to City on a thoroughly well deserved win today.

I know it's a joke but it's spot on.

Began reading the match report in the Guardian....

Perhaps Pep Guardiola just ought to keep the trophy. His owners at Manchester City do not seem too bothered about the Carabao Cup; they would happily ditch it in the pursuit of a European Super League, of more money and action on the continent.....

Then I thought fuck it and went for a dump.

As opposed to other teams who happily ditch it to finish 6th

BBC shit again,10pm headlines 8,000 crowd attend League cup final no mention of the winners.Turned straight over for the 10 pm Sky news headlines and show us lifting the cup and says Manchester City win cup for the 4th consecutive time.BBC Rag Salford base are unbelievable and thank fuck I don't give one penny to those people.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

The Bein sports commentators were excellent today. Just commented on the match. Revolutionary, I know!

 

[eyalluvitt]

I see Neville and Carragher have been given an updated tactics board.

 

[NMB]

They'll simply interview multiple fans until they get the narrative they want regardless. Then they'll push it as 'the fans have spoken'.

I’ve said before that I , as a City fan of over 50 years, know 100s of fellow City fans. I don’t know a single one who is disaffected by our current owners yet the Guardian manages to have at least 3 on their staff.

And like the bbc they will make one up if they can't find one to fit their narrative

The commentary really was absolutely dire today - the anti-city bias was, as always, clear to see but the overall quality was piss poor.

Tired, predictable and cliched, with a load of awkward moments thrown in too. You would think that most companies would want to avoid having Tyler’s mixture of bitterness and resentment as defining their image, but it doesn’t seem to bother Sky.

 

[deano ou812]

Think today’s commentary was bad wait till Wednesday night and BT ..

At least we'll know the cost of our bench. I thought Sky were pretty poor in that department, today ;-)

This guy Bajowski thinks his job is to be a professional troll when he should actually be working as a journalist and generating authentic news stories. No wonder the MEN is dying. Has he actually ever revealed something us fans don't already know.
