Cricket is a completely different standard of commentary? Players all go up to appeal lbw. On field commentator has seen it once. How many times do you hear "reckon it pitched outside" or "think that's going over". They watch the game and are aware of the rules. They put football commentators to shameCommentary is an art form , the greatest ever cricket commentator was Richie Benaud, the guy often did not speak for minutes on end he simply let the action do the talking.
Football is a game of opinions and so it should be, I don't need a sad , bitter ex pro telling me how good a player, team or manager is, I will make my own mind up thank you.
