The most ridiculous/funny/stupid thing you have ever heard a commentator say

[BILC]

This isn't footy related, but during the cricket about 15 years ago, around when the 12th Man was massive.

Australia was playing a one dayer against Sri Lanka, and one of the Aussie quicks caught the edge of the bat and it flew to between the keeper and 1st slip, caught by Mark Taylor, but given "not out".

Anyway, Bill Lawrie said he didn't hit it, Tony Grieg said he did, and they argued back and forth for a few mins. Tony Grieg then says, whilst the reply is showing, "Look you pidgeon lover, you can see the red mark on his bat where he nicked it". Bill Lawry started laughing, and in a dead ringer for the 12th Man Bill Lawry said "There using a white ball, Tony you idiot".

Funniest sporting exchange i have ever heard, god i wish i could find it on Youtube!

cant remember who said it but someone said "Hes Usually A Good Puller But This Time He Just Couldnt Get It Up"

I haven't read back through the whole thread so I don't know if this one's already been mentioned, but it should be - Jack "Captain Blood" Dyer commentating one fine day, referring to a tackle: "...he wrapped his arms around him like a pair of giant testicles..." Yeah, to those who know it it's an oldie, but one that will live forever

Collingwood V Port
Commetti ...again...man this guy has a lot...said something like...

He just seems to know its there even when he can't see it. Like a man searching for his car keys.

Had a good chuckle at that one.

Just before Conolly got the gig at Crapmantle I heard Gary Lyon say a couple of times that the freo coaching job is 'the plumb job going around'

I cringed at the awkwardness that followed from the talk of Brent Renouf's testicle problems.

Im starting to wonder if she researches like... anything? Because she is responsible for so many comments where you end up scratching your head wondering what the hell she is on about.

[footy4ever]

If this hasn't been mentioned before. Saw a replay of a snooker game played years ago.

Commentator says "He's going for the blue, and for those of you viewing in black and white, its right next to the pink."...or words very close to that

That summerises Rebecca Wilson's whole media career.

She's made a successful career out of mediocrity

 

[bushranger58]

I just love it when all game long they sing the praises for a team. Then this team loses and then they try to hide it by talking up players that they hardly mentioned thoughout their whole call.
Egg on their faces.

Some pearlers from "Sports Screamers":

Don Scott: The umpire is either going to bounce the ball, or throw up.

Brian Taylor said this about Fitzroy's Nauru sponsorship: What happens if there is a tidal wave in Nauru?

That followed her ridiculous comment about how wonderfully welcoming the Chinese people had been. 'Totally unexpected' according to Wilson, who obviously has stereotypes off pat. Appallingly ignorant.

Remember once that someone asked Malcolm Blight for a comment regarding a passage of play and he just made a noise like he was choking - sounded all the world like a beer went down the wrong way. Sometimes I think "Blighty" can't handle the confines of the box and goes stir-crazy and needs "refreshment"

Last week on the fifth quarter Luke Darcy said "that's a Saturday special anyday of the week"

 

[handy point]

What is it with Sydney based news outlets reporting on AFL?

Reminds me of Tim Webster on Sports Tonight telling everyone that "Nathan Buckley had resigned". He meant to say re-signed.

Or he was 20 years ahead of time
