That's one video of hers I haven't seen.Very true. 'Commentators' and 'pundits' now seem to come in paris, like second-rate double acts, and the distinction between their roles is hard to discern. There is no need for the in-game pundit if the commentator does his job well, yet because society appears terrified by silence, every void needs to be filled and the inane utterances are an inevitable consequence.
Eyes roll into back of head, tongue lolling on chin, gropes himself furiously
At some point half way through the second half he told us Chelsea had started to even the game out...just seconds after the whole Chelsea team had stood frozen as if mesmerised , fabregas only feet away, as David Silva stood still with the ball at his feet waiting for a Chelsea player to come and challenge him
NBCWho is he commentating for tonight? Not sky?
When our true fans hear it, we know what's what. It doesn't effect us, but as others have said, the casual observer will actually listen to what he says.
My old man bless him, well into his 60's now will have had us on in the back ground or will have watched bits will have had his mind made up by the commentary. He used to be a die hard fan, I had my first season ticket at 7 & he took me till I was old enough to go on my own. He lost interest but is now a casual observer, I gaurantee when I see him, he'll say something along the lines of 'well, that wasn't much cop was it?'.
Tyler is or could be considered bias, I think he just longs for the good old days, he's one of many that thought our product was the best, no doubt he hoped Pep would fail, Pep is making the established look very very daft.
First time I heard Tyler commentate on a game of football was England vs France in Spain 82. That was 36 years ago. Surely hes got to retire soon
