[QUOTE="the_happy_traveller, post: 349028, member: 199037"] Maybe you're right Salty, I might have been a bit harsh. There are some very good sports commentators out there as well as the bad ones. Some sports though, seem to use commentators who seem to think we are idiots and need everything explaining in minute detail or don't seem to know when to keep quiet. For example, I watched the gala performance of the recent figure skating Euro championships and the English commentator talked all the way through every performance. Watching the repeat on German Eurosport (sad or what?) the following day, their commentators were silent whilst the skaters were on the ice, only commenting between performances. The actual commentary I enjoy, without it, I wouldn't have much of a clue who has the ball in a football match or who is riding that motorbike that's just flashed on the screen at 200mph. The problem I have is the trivial bits they use to fill in time. Maybe if there's nothing going off worth commenting on, they ought to just keep quiet. [/QUOTE]
