Stupid things football people say on TV

'That was such a good pass it beat the winger for pace', as the ball sailed above his head and out for a throw in.

I think the best I've heard though was a few years ago driving near Stoke listening to the local radio, and when they asked their reporter for an update, he began with........

'Yes, it's Stoke City versus Bristol City today, and games just don't come any bigger than this'.

Clearly from Stoke he's never heard of the Bury v Rochdale game it's even rumoured Messi faked injury just to watch this classic.

The dumbest thing I've heard recently was from the home announcer during my local club's match. "He's had more braces than your local orthodontist!" The striker had just set the club record for season goals with 12.... And he has league total of 17 goals. Witty indeed?!

 

[york away to this!]

"De Brunye was off side"... Wankers.

The balls moved in the air.
Obviously other wise it would be still

A classic I heard a few seasons ago when Blackpool were in the PL and the commentary was from Bloomfield Road, in front of a decent crowd. The commentator said "Blackpool in the big time now - they've come a long way since those cold January nights here with the winds howling in from the North Sea...."
Yes, having crossed Yorkshire and the Pennines and East Lancashire first.............
And no one corrected him.

“If they win that semi-final, they’ll be guaranteed a place in the final”

Andy Townsend:

"They've literally handed their opponents the game on a plate now! "

No, they have not, Andrew. There are no plates to be seen. Buffoon.

During a televised match with a panel hosted by David Coleman the floodlights failed and the cameras went back to the studio. Coleman, desperately trying to fill the void, asked Alf Ramsey one of the most stupid football related questions of all time. "Why do you think the floodlights failed Alf?". Ramsey gave him his famous withering looked and replied, "I am not an electrician".

One I heard last season a couple of times was "it was not enough of a foul to award a penalty". I think that was Michael Owen surprisingly.
