When did they stop commenting on what's going on and just leave long silences, interspersed with almost fawning comments about one player or another?


Last night's Spain v Portugal was a case in point. I'm pretty certain the commentator fancied both Ronaldo and Iniesta, never heard such comments before and wish we could return to the old style, one-man-in-the-commentary-box type of commentary.

 

Thank goodness Motty carked it

 

( at least ,had the grace to hang up the mike that is )
