Having watched the classic games during lockdown, I’ve realised even more what a class act Brian Moore was. A brilliant commentator, the best there has been in my view. "AND IT'S LIIIIIIIIVE!" DUCK RIGHT OFF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Commentator's favourites from the good old days..... "Very much six of one and half a dozen of the other!" (Never could understand that!) "This is a game of two halves!" (Most of them were, if this had deeper significance it would need to be said after the match.) Not forgetting the inevitable.. "Consolation goal!" Scored by the team at the wrong end of a 6-1 thrashing which sends their supporters into "raptures" when most of them are actually halfway home by then! Still reckon nowt beats Mr Ramage's "All of a sudden!" straight out of a primary school primer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you watching when Pal McGrath played for us? The guy couldn't have outsprinted a hippo in lead wellington boots, but he was oustanding. His positional play and reading of the game was as good as any defender I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is he was actually better in midfield. Maldini reckons he was the most complete player he ever lined up against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 "Graham Richards would never have come out with that!" Usually said by we fans of a certain age when listening to Radio Derby. (That, at least, is the gist of what we say!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first game was 1997 so missed McGrath by a season. Igor was the defender of my childhood. Well aware of his ability though, and think it's a negative aspect of the English game that we champion the 'all action' and denigrate the 'lazy'. I do think that has changed a bit in recent years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hippo can run at over 30 mph. If you can manage to put lead wellies on one you have my undying respect. They're bad tempered whatsits anorl! I hope Paul has never tried this stunt.

I'm trying to envision a hippo breezing past Usain Bolt during a 100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to win the Olympics but quick enough to kill 99.9% of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broderick Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I wish it were more common to have games broadcasted with no commentary. In the 2018 world cup there was an app you could watch games with just the crowd noise and it was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Jermaine Jenas picked out 4 of Bournemouth's remaining games and he said "They're the games they'll be looking to pick up points" I think I know where Bournemouth have gone wrong now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
